MARYLAND MUSKRAT
FARMING SUCCESSFUL
Much Interest Generally
Shown in Rearing of Fur
Bearing Animals.

According to the annual report Of the
biological survey recently submitted to
Secretary Wilson the rearing Of fur-bear-
ing animals in the United States for their
pelts continues to be a subject Of much
interest.
Sunks, muskrats, minks and foxes are
reared in captivity or on preserves under
control of breeders. The large prices
asked for mature black foxes for breed
ing purposes have resulted in confinin
the industry in the hands of very few.
Comparatively few attempts have been
made to raise minks in the United States.
but experiments are being conducted in
cooperation with the National Geological
Park with a view to determining the
most successful methods of rearing these
animals. Muskrat farming has probably
reached its highest point of development
on the eastern shore of Maryland. Musk
rat marshes are worth more measured by
their actual income than cultivated farms
of like acreage in the same vicinity. Only
one other animal in the world, the Euro
pean rabbit, exceeds the muskrat in the
number of skins marketed.

periments for the determination of prairie
dogs. ground squirrels and gophers that
are being conducted by means of poison
bats, traps and other methods. 1t is

for thirty-two adult prairie dogs equals
that required for a sheep, and that 20

Spotted fever ticks in the two younger
stages live almost wholly upon small ma.

squirrel has been infected with buboniC
plague by fleas from rats. The danger
that these diseases ~ become endemic

| for the destruction of the animals.
The bureau reports that the antelope
is in greater danger of determination
than any other kind of American big
game. that there is great need for a suit

and that the buffalo on the national bison
range have now increased to eighty-one

Reservations for Birds.
There are fifty-six bird reservations,
and additional inspectors and wardens
have been appointed to care for them.
The European rabbit, introduced on Fa-
rallon Islands, Cal, and Laysan Island,
Hawaii. has become such pest that eff
forts will be made to reduce its number
on Laysan Island.
Every effort has been made to stop the
sale of plumage Of certain birds. gulls,
terms and especially herons. New regula-
tons passed under the Alaska game law
practically make game refugees of five
islands in southeastern Alaska. Instruc-
tons have been given to the revenue cut
tiers in Boring sea to insure strict en-
forcement of the law protecting walrus.

Foreigners Have Monopoly
on Dirty. Dangerous Worh

who are foreigners and their children
should walk out? What would become
of the silk mills if the four fifths who
are foreigners and their children
should cease to be wage earners? And
if the nine-tenths of the cotton mill
operatives who are foreigners and their
families were TO leave their looms
America might have TO go back to the
clothes made of skins. Were it not
for the foreigner "hand-me- down
suit could scarcely be bought for love
or money. And when We remember
that the foreigner and his children
make half of our shirts. collars and
cuns, tan, curry and finish nearly five
sixths of our leather; make half of oul
gloves: refine nearly nine-tenths of oul
oil, and nearly nineteen-twentieth OF
our sugar. and supply nearly half OF
the labor in the manufacture of ouI
tobacco and cigars, We see that he is
after all quite an important factor In
our industrial supremacy.
The foreigner has d monopoly upon the
dangerous. the dirty and the odorous
trades. In the slaughtering industry
You will find him usually in such places
as the hide-curing rooms, where they
shake, count and pack the Shiny, slippery
hides: i'm the fertilizer plant. where the
refuse of the slaughter house is assem-
bled amid unspeakable stenches; in the
soap making department, where fats are
reduced and the alkalis mixed and where
unbearable Odors persist all the time. And
yet you find him a patient, cheerful
worker, content with his average wage
of $557 year
Visit a big contract work like the New
DIRK aqueduct or the barge canal, and
here again you find the foreigner Go to
the lumber camps of the northwest and
he greets you. And yet. wherever they
are encountered they are found to be a
backbone of industry. ready to take the
hardest and most unpleasant jobs and
to work under taskmasters who are
sometimes not less harsh than the Simon
Legree of Uncle Toms Cabin"

the glass factory the unlettered laborer

Industrial expansion must be given He

awkwardness Of the ignorant laborer and
the ability OF the skilled workman.
The Immigration from eastern and south
ern Europe has adversely affected the
labor unions of the communities into
which they have gone. In the cotton
goods industry, for instance, IL is only
the fact that the new labor has been
controlled by the skilled employees. such
as the weavers and tenders of the slash
ers, that has saved the labor unions from
disruption. IL is only at Fall River
that the unions are strong enough to
3.tUO out or total OF 10000 employees
belong to the unions. The greatest dim
Guilty with which the labor leaders have
10 contend has been the low standard of
living among the workmen of the new
immigration. and their willingness TO ac-
cept work under conditions and at wages
entirely unsatisfactory to the older en-
ployes- They do not like to join the
unions. because Of the dues, and this
prevents the labor organizations from
accommodating the necessary resources for
conducting strikes.

Racial Monopoly in
Many Lines Apparent

Danes take to leather. furniture and coll

Americas era of greatest expansion has
been coincident with the rise of the
new" immigration. In the thirty years
since the new tide of humanity began
to set in In earnest. the capital of our
industries has increased some skiold and
the value OF their products about three
fold. There are those who regret that
Europe ever set in. One class says that
IL the new" immigrant had not come
wages would have continued upon such
high plane that the people of north
western Europe could not have turned
away from such an opportunity, and that
We would still be getting the bulk of our
immigration from there. Others declare
that the immigrant is largely responsible
for the expansion that took place. Ac-
cording TO this view he was attracted by
then existing opportunities, and his pres
ence in large numbers stimulated the
capitalist to devise new ways and means
of using him, the end of which stimu-
lation was our great industrial expansion
But, perhaps more to the point is the
story OF the inventions which have made
1t possible for the raw immigrant of the
present to do more than the skilled ma
tive Of the past.
