Until two years ago the skins of
muskrats were very cheap, bringing |
no more than 10 or 12 cents each. |
When skunk fur went out of fashion |
and the skunk farmers failed, muskrat |
skins doubled in value, so that good |
skins now bring 2j and 30 cents each.
When man can take 80 or 40 musk
rats day and keep it up through the
winter, the business affords large
margin of profit.
