SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILASDER JOHNSON.

No Bouquets.
The roses are glowing in delicate grace,
To greet all our wandering ways.
They offer their sweetness In every
place
Yet there's nobody throwing bouquets.
One losses brickbat. another rock,
As arguments rise which amaze.
And what seems a compliment covers
b knock
There is nobody throwing bouquets.
The blossoms so beautiful falter and
fade,
Like an impulse TO smile and to praise
Our tributes on tombs may be solemnly
laid:
But there's nobody throwing bouquets.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
The United States OF America has
proposed an International treaty to re-
nounce war
AS truly patriotic Englishman, es-
teeming the honor and honesty of my
country above all material gain, and also
recognizing the vital principles of pru-
dence and common sense, suggest that
the treaty to renounce war should be
accompanied by the free and voluntary
return. upon the part OF the British
Empire, Of the German colonies in
Africa TO the present German Reich
Such generous and friendly act would
immensely strengthen the humane
necessary and excellent treaty proposed
by America.

be introduced successfully into other
sections of the country. Indeed, to
make the most of the muskrat indus
try requires that the possibilities of
selective breeding be tested"
Muskrat Houses.
Muskrat houses are composed of
rushes, grasses, and roots and stems
of other aquatic plants. The struc-
ture rests on the bottom of a shallow
pond and is built mainly of the kind
of plants on which the animals feed.
These include cattails, bull rushes,
wild rice, wapato, etc. These are
heaped up without orderly arrange
ment, until the domelike top rises
two or three feet above the water.
The mud on the outside and in the
walls of muskrat houses seems to be
collected accidentally with the roots.
Within the part of the structure
above the water, chamber is exca-
waited, from which two or three pas
sages lead downward through the
mass into the water, reaching it at
points well below the frost line. If
the water is shallow, the animals ex-
cavate deeper channels leading from
the house to various parts of the pond.
When banks of streams or ponds are
high enough for the purpose, musk
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-08-23

rats burrow into them. Entrances to
the tunnels are almost always under
water, and the approach to them is
if possible, by channels of sufficient
depth to prevent ice from closing the
passage. The tunnels extend 10 to SO
feet into the bank and terminate in
roomy chamber.
Active In Fall.
AS cold weather approaches, the
animals become very active, adding to
their old winter HOUSES, building new
ones, and deepening channels that
lead to houses and burrows, so that
they may not become clogged by ice,
They do not hibernate, and, aside from
the vegetation of which their houses
are made, seem to make little pro-
vision for winter. However, some OF
the surplus food collected may be
found in their burrows at almost any
time.
1t sometimes becomes necessary, it
is said, to feed the muskrats in severe
weather.
In 1921, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
average price per animal was $1.35.
They have advanced every year since
then. The reason for the rise in

breeding habits. 1t is now well estab.
lished that the animals breed from
three to five times in year and that
the litters average from to young
The early spring litters usually are less
in number, and those of midsummer
are somewhat above the average
The following are actual records Sc
cured by the Biological survey: In
February, 3 embryos; March 6, large
embryos; April 10, small embryos;
June s, embryos; July IS, Is en-
bryos. 1t is probable that the young
of early spring litters breed in the
fall of the same year."
Continuing its prospectus of musk
rat raising, the government bulletin
points out that:
Require No Feeding.
"Muskrats require no feeding, since
the plant life of ponds and marshes
furnishes abundance of food. In
many states the areas adapted to the
muskrat are extensive, and doubtless
suitable areas could be found in Sec
tions from which muskrats are now
absent. AS trapping is done in win
ter, the business of muskrat farming
is especially adapted to farmers and
farmers boys.

pelage by selective breeding has
never been attempted. Probably the
black muskrat would be bred true to
color and greatly improved in the To-
calities it now inhabits, and could

hawks naturally alight on these poles

purpose, for they are a great aid in

Muskrat pelts are used for nearly
all kinds of garments, and several
