Most of my bear hunts proved to me that I ran more risks than the bears. To set traps, however, to hide big iron-springed, spike-toothed traps to catch and clutch wild animals alive, and hold them till they died or starved or gnawed off their feet, or until the trapper chose to come with his gun or club to end the miserable business what indeed shall I call that? Cruel base cowardly!
Then I told her about the iron-jawed, spike-toothed traps hidden by the springs or on the runways of game about the fox or beaver or marten seeking its food, training its young to fare for themselves about the sudden terrible clutch of the trap, and then the frantic fear, the instinctive fury, the violent struggle about the foot gnawed off by the beast that was too fierce to die a captive about the hours of agony, the horrible thirst the horrible days till death.
As soon as breakfast was over the tractor was driven out to the field back of the cider mill, and, with the agent in the seat, started off on its rounds. In this field corn had been raised the year before, and it would be planted in oats this year, so the plow was omitted and the double disk and spike-toothed harrow used.
