Next place your foot on its feet. By a slow, steady pull, you can remove or detach its breast from the rest of the body. This leaves the breast with the two wings attached. Now take a hold of his body with one hand and pull his legs out. Remember though, you should have the wings attached for identification until you get home. One thing to remember is to be sure and remove any fat found on the meat because this is where you get any bad taste, as is the case with most wild meat. After you get the coots home (or any waterfowl) soak them in vinegar and salt water overnight. This seems to take out the bloodshot areas where the bird has been hit. After you have soaked the coots overnight in salt water, take them out and cut the meat into small chunks. i I Vv 4 i. , r v :? sn .

One left Ogden at 9:30 a.m. and in Franklin at arrived 4:45 p.m. The other left Franklin at 9 a.m. and was in Ogden at 4:40 p.m. The line had a busy career for many year and finally was bought by the Oregon Short Line, now the Union Pacific. Our records show that the little narrow gauge did a big business, and its story is a credit to the Church and to the spirit of Utahs early railroading pio- neers. Aprender Guild holds Virginia Wursten Predation also helps to control disease. Only the physically superior among the preyed upon species survive to reproduce. The result is a better game animal for the hunter to harvest. Even the natural nest robber serves a useful purpose. He forces the feathered victim to move to another area and try for another brood. The result is a staggered hatch, eliminating a total kill of newly-bor- n offspring by a single spell of bad weather. So the predator does have a credit side to his ledger. He serves a definite purpose in natures scheme of things. DIRECTOR URGES GOOD HUNTING MANNERS Bud Phelps, Wildlife Resource Director for Utah, appeals to outdoorsmen to observe the highest standard of conduct and ethics when they go afield this fall. Director Phelps notes that of all Utahns nearly one-thiwill go in pursuit of some type of wildlife during fall hunting seasons.

Okay, 19, Daggett Co. -- Various methods have been undertaken to control predator populations and thus protect the more desirable game animals.

What most sportsmen do not know is that predators are an asset to the sport. A predators victims are usually the weakest of a given wildlife species because they are the easiest to catch. Thus the predator helps to maintain a healthy and alert population of game species. Did you over wonder How Tinker's Dam started?

There are a couple of theories about its origin: Tinkers were itinerant menders of po,s and pans and were of low repute and their speech was profane.

Something you waved to when you were a kid? Or something you waited for at the crossing? A train, to most people, is like someone you meet in a reception line. A casual, passing relationship. Nothing personal. But a train is personal. It's deeply involved in your everyday life. The web of rails crossing our country is like a lifeline. Carrying nourishment from farm to city. Feeding raw materials to factories and manufactured goods to the marketplace. A train is quiet, out of the way, in the background, but always working for you in a very personal way. Bringing you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the chair you're sitting in. Think about it the next time you see the UP shield. You might even want to start waving at trains again.
