To Catch Muskrats

Take a steel trap with a single spring, set it 1½ inches under water, hang part of a sweet apple over the foot plate, and chain the trap to a stake or rush. The reason why the trap should be set under water is that when the muskrat sees the apple he will jump for it; when he comes down he gets his paws in the trap.
