- catalog abstract "In this country moles are trapped mainly because they are troublesome, but in some European countries they are trapped extensively, not only to exterminate them, but also for their pelts. Millions of European moleskins have been used by fur manufacturers in this country had hitherto have furnished the sole supply. Yet the skins of some American moles, especially the common large mole of western Washington and Oregon, are larger and have better texture than those from Europe. This fact has been recognized by some important American fur dealers and a demand for American moleskins has lately been created. Farmers' boys and others who may wish to trap moles will find in this bulletin information regarding the best kinds of traps, with directions where and how to set them, and how to prepare the skins. Moleskins may be sold to local furriers, or, if these skins are not handled by them, information regarding prices and methods of shipment may be obtained from fur houses that do business by mail. Also, inquiries addressed to the Department of Agriculture will receive prompt attention. The methods of trapping moles discussed in this bulletin are especially adapted to the Pacific Coast States, but with modifications will apply to all localities where moles are found."--Page [2].".
