A Profitable Vermont Muskrat Farm.

H. G. Chase, of Chittenden county,
says in New England Homestead: "a
few years ago damned up a small
brook on my farm for the purpose of
making trout pond. The pond and
the brook for some rods above be-
came infested by muskrats, that be-
gan to work havoc on my neighboring
cornfield. The idea struck me that |
might turn these diligent rodents into
profit. The next year | increased the
size of the dam, so as to make
shallow pond covering about four
acres of marshy land that was OF no
use for crops.
"a double gate was arranged at
the lowest point of the dam. The in
ner one was made of ordinary scant-
lings, set upright with space of one
inch between each one, the whole
being strengthened by two heavy
cross pieces. The outer gate was of
ordinary type. After leaving the
pond in this shape fora season to let
it get we'll stocked with rats, | made
fence of four foot hen wire, setting
it one foot into the earth and leaning
it slightly in, around the entire body
of water and about four rods back
from the bank. This was done in the
fail.
1.-The next spring I had the soil
turned in several places and sowed
corn. This grew only to a small size
but was large enough to furnish food
for rats and thus keep them from
boring beyond the enclosure. | re-
peated this the next spring and the
next March [ considered that there
was enough stock to pay for slaugh-
ter.
"In the latter part of the month
the outer gate was raised allowing
the water to flow out of the pond.
The inner gate prevented any rats
from escaping. 1t was now an easy
matter to catch the rats. A chute
having slab bottom was inserted
under the inner gate. This chute lee
to cement lined excavation 10x10xi
feet deep. The stats in the bottom
of the chute allowed the water tt
pass on it's course, while the rats
frightened by the emptying of the
pond found their only means of es
cape, and landed in the excavation
