(Raccoon)
Cloudy + Rain
Planted the buckwheat.
Got a postal from Mrs. H. from Bermuda.
When I got up on the hill this A.M. and took a look at the trap and there was a big raccoon in it, and from the way things were torn up, his front leg that was in the trap was broken.
So when Maynard came I tied a rag on a long stick to distract the coon’s attention, I tied my knife to another long stick, and while the coon was biting the rag I cut off the foot above the trap jaws.
As soon as it realized it was free, he went down the drain pipe.
