Muskrat Furs.
republic.

As the fur bearing animals in the United
States are so rapidly decreasing in number it
lends q constantly increasing value to those that
are still obtainable. Very conspicuous among
these stand the muskrat, from whose skins
every variety of modern furs is made by compe-
tent f~urriers with such skill as to so closely re-
semble the very highest grades Of furs as to de-
ceive any but those who are experts in the bust
ness. When Plaquemines Parish two or three
years ago began an active campaign in muskrat
trapping it seemed almost absurd to claim that
this hitherto disposed animal was bringing into
the parish that year at least 500, 900 and still
more each year since.
The climate of Southern Louisiana is cold
enough to produce furs of good quality and yet
warm enough to lead to the wonderful propaga-
cation of these muskrats which, in fact are bea-
vers, with fiat tails such as the beaver family
has. We have not heard that the rats are yet
in condition for trapping, but presume that with
in a few weeks the active season will begin and
the pockets of our trappers will be filled toover-
flowing.
All this may have an evil side to it from the
fact that as the trapping money comes compare
lively easy, it leads hundreds of people to en-
gage in it and the truck gardeners and others
desiring competent help to aid them in the pre-
paration of their lands for winter and spring
garden crops, which are the most profitable,
may find the labor markets so bare that they
cannot enlarge their work as much as they
would like to. Any way, Plaquemines Parish
adds the fur trade to its many other advantages,
making it one of the most favored spots in the
federal unions most delightful state, Louisiana.

Building Up Rundown Soil

An average yield of 1873 bushels
of corn for which the farmer was
receiving practically no profit for
his work was increased to fSrty-
five bushels, with a net profit of
S7.6S per acre, upon a farm at
Lamar, Mo-, by the application
of the most approved methods of
agriculture. The application of
the same methods increased the
production of a field OF wheat
from IL bushels to rs bushels
an acre with a corresponding net
profit of 1913 where there was
practically no profit before.
The foregoing are the results
obtained by a series of expert
ments conducted by the Missouri
Experiment station upon a soil
experiment field on the level
prairie of Southwest Missouri,
near Lamar, Missouri. The re-
suits have just been published in
a bulletin issued by the Missouri
Experiment Station Of the Uni
versity of Missouri. 1t is one of
a series of experiments that the
station is making in various parts
of Missouri. The bulletin is by
NJ. F. Miller and c. b. Hutchison.
The treatment that caused the
ordinary soil to more than double
its production of corn included
cowpeas, phosphorus, potassium,
and lime. The same treatment
was used in doubling the pro-
duction of wheat per acre.
The soil analysis showed that
the soil in this entire section,
comprising ten counties in South
western Missouri was deficient in
nitrogen, phosphates, lime, potash
and humus. They were supplied
artificially and the soil restored
to almost it's original fertility.
Bulletin No. SO and "a, describing
these experiments in detail, may
be had by writing to F. B. Num-
ford, Director of the Missouri Agri
cultural Experiment Station, Col
umbia, Missouri.
