PROFIT FROM MUSKRAT FARM

II many OF the swamps and marsh
lands which are now occupied by musk
rats are reclaimed for agricultural pur-
poses IL may be necessary TO start

opinion of biologists of the United

and swamps that are, for the most
part, unprotected, millions OF skins be
ing taken each year. So long as the
natural breeding places remain undis-
turbed and reasonable closed seasons
are maintained, the biologist say, there
Is little likelihood OF the numbers or
the animals being depleted. This Is
because these animals multiply much
more rapidly than most other u
bearers. With adequate protection In
the breeding season and with the pres
ent habitat available, from ten to
twelve million pelts n be taken In
North America annually without deple-
ton of the supply.
The practicability of muskrat farm
ing already has been demonstrated.
The animals are easily kept, become
very tame, and breed well In narrow
quarters. Under present economic con
ditions, however; keeping muskrats on
preserves is more practicable than
keeping them In restricted quarters.
The former plan is in remunerative
operation in the Chesapeake Bay re-
gion. In Dorchester county, Md, marsh
land formerly considered almost use
less, and now used as muskrat pre-
serves, Is worth more, measured By
actual income, han cultivated lands
in the same vicinity. The owner OF
one ~1,300-acre tract of marsh, took in
two seasons-1909 and 19l0-more
than 10000 pelts which sold for more
than $4,000.

SALT CORN TO RETARD HEAT
Acts Not Only as Prese 'ative but Aids
in Drawing Out Water Which
Then Evaporates.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF ~Agriculture)
Owing TO the large amount OF soft
corr that was harvested last fall, spe-
cial care should be given to prevent
IL from heating in the crib. Corn that
has already been cribbed without sort
ing should be worked ter during
weather unfit for husking. This is es-
pecially true If stored in large cribs
without special ventilation. Corn in
large, broad cribs freezes during the
winter months and while frozen APP
pears TO be dry. Investigations, how
ever have shown that corn in such
cribs dries out little until the weather
begins TO warm up in the spring. With
the excessive moisture in the soft,
frosted, and immature corn 1t is prac-
tically certain that there will be fur
Their spoilage and heating of the soft
corn as the weather warns up.
The sailing of ear corn in cribs will
retard and in many cases prevent heat
ing. The salt acts not only as a pre-
sentative but aids in drawing the water
from the corn. which then ev%aporates
IL the corn is stored in w~ell-veniilated
cribs so that the air can circulate free
" through il. The United States has
carried on no special experiments with
| salted corn, but the quantity Of salt
recommended ranges from one TO two
barrels per 1000 bushels Of corn. This
condition. however. will not apply TO
shelled corn stored in elevator bins
where n free circulation of air through
the corr is impossible. Shelled corn
of high moisture content should be ar
tificially dried.

Bean anthracnose and blight are

This will eliminate most of the spot

A termination test OF the seed will in

weather conditions. The understood,
shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans

No chances should be taken with the
1918 crop. Only the very best seed
available should be used.
Test termination.
termination tests should be made to
determine what percentage of the seed

mination of corn. The seeds may be
laid between moist blotters or folds OF
cloth placed in q shallow dish, V

room or they may be planted in sand
or soil.
If the termination is poor, h fact
must be taken into account when de-
Gliding upon the rate of planting, N or

important that seed be tested this
