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 ani
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 j
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 wrill not freeze solid
during the winter season. Arrange- ■
ments for proper feeding must be i
provided.
At one farm, considerable progress i
had been made in breeding muskrats j
and initial results in litters of young j
had been most satisfactory, when the j
spring freshet flooded the pond and j
resulted in the escape of nearly all •
the muskrat in the inclosure. I
In spite of the difficulties, presist- -
ent efforts show that muskrat farms 1
can be op'erated -successfully and
profitably, and there is an opportun
ity for carrying on such an industry
on a large scale because the musk-1
rat skin is not only used for natural
I
muskrat coats, but when plucked and '
dyed is sold for “Hudson Seal,” one 1
of the most fashionable furs on the
market.
