OLD ORCHARD, Me, October
IA broken eXlau ust valve, which,,
but for good fortune, might have
caused an explosion of the motor and
sent the plane, Dawn, into the sea,

plus a crystalization about the piston
of the No. . cylinder had broken off
the valve. The fact that the cylinder
is on top OF the engine caused the
valve to drop. The piston on the up
stroke jammed it back into place.
But for that. he said, the whole top

RAISING MUSKRATS
 CANADA PROVINCE
NEW BRUNSWICK RANCHES CON- STRUCTED TO PREVENT ES-
 CAPE OF CAPTiVES

FREDERICTON, New Brunswick, Feb. 26. (P)-Since muskrat has be- come the fashion for winter coats and wraps,the demand for muskrat skins is steadily increasing and to meet this demand muskrat ranches are being established in New Bruns- wick
 Several muskrat farms are now being successfully operated, but the undertaking is a hazardous one and to secure the farm so that the anil mals cannot escape requires much ingenuity.
 In order to properly secure musk rats in captivity, a pond of sufficient size must be secured and enclosed in such a manner as to prevent the escape of the animals confined there in, and the pond must be of such a nature that it will not freeze solid during the winter season. Arrange ments for proper feeding must be provided.
 At one farm, considerable progress had been made in breeding muskrats and initial results in filters of young had been most satisfactory, when the spring freshet flooded the pond and resulted in the escape of nearly all the muskrat in the inclosure.
 In spite of the difficulties, presist- ent efforts show that muskrat farms can be operated successfully and profitably, and there is an Opportun- ity for carrying on such an industry on large scale because the musk rat skin is not only used for natural muskrat coats, but when plucked and dyed is sold for Hudson Seal," one of the most fashionable furs on the market.
