Scattered from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Ocean are thousands of trappers who use deadfalls, snares and
other home-made traps, but within this vast territory there are many
thousand who know little or nothing of them.
The best and most successful trappers are those of extended experience.
Building deadfalls and constructing snares, as told on the following pages,
will be of value to trappers located where material — saplings, poles,
boards, rocks, etc. — is to be had for constructing. The many traps
described cannot all be used to advantage in any section, but some of them
can.
More than sixty illustrations are used to enable the beginner to better
understand the constructing and workings of home-made traps. The
illustrations are mainly furnished by the "old timers."
Chapters on Skinning and Stretching, Handling and Grading are added for the
correct handling of skins and furs adds largely to their commercial value.

King's Series in Woodwork and Carpentry
PREFACE TO THE SERIES
This series consists of five volumes, four of
which are intended as textbooks for pupils in manual-training, industrial,
trade, technical, or normal schools. The fifth book of the series, the
“Handbook in Woodwork and Carpentry,” is for the use of teachers and of
normal students who expect to teach the subjects treated in the other four
volumes.
Of the pupils’ volumes, the first two, “Elements of Woodwork’ and “Elements
of Construction,” are adapted to the needs of students in manual-training
schools, or in any institution in which elementary woodwork is taught,
whether as purely educational handwork, or as preparatory to a high, or
trade, school course in carpentry or vocational training.
The volumes “Constructive Carpentry” and “Inside Finishing” are planned with
special reference to the students of technical, industrial, or trade
schools, who have passed through the work of the first two volumes, or their
equivalent. The subject treated are those which will be of greatest value to
both the prospective and the finished workman.
For the many teachers who are obliged to follow a require! course, but who
are allowed to introduce supplementary occuptional models under certain
conditions, and for others who have more liberty and are able to make such
changes as they see fit, this series will be found perfectly adaptable,
regardless of the grades taught. To accomplish this, the material has been
arranged by topics, which may be used by the teacher irrespectively of the
sequence, as each topic has to the greatest extent possible been treated
independently.
The author is indebted to Dr. George A. Hubbell, Ph.D., now President of the
Lincoln Memorial University, for encouragement and advice in preparing for
apd planning the series, and to George R. Swain, Principal of the Eastern
High School of Bay City, Michigan, for valuable aid in revising the
manuscript.
Acknowledgment is due various educational and trade periodicals, and the
publications of the United States Departments of Education and of Forestry,
for the helpful suggestions that the author has gleaned from their pages.

Building Dry Stone Retaining Walls
This video shows how to build small drystone retaining walls from beginning
to end; laying out the shape, digging the foundation, determining the wall
angle, building the face, packing the back, and leveling the top. The
techniques are suitable for all rock types, whether glacially rounded,
angular, or flat-bedded
