has finally agreed . to ' •^lease the

which to 'prepare "hi: . orite gas-

cheap and will help to keep down
the .wartime meat ,bill. A carcass
sells. in Essex county for '20c" (you
can buy six of them in Bruce for
the same ,amount), and thei$'s about
one pound and, a half 'of all meat.
As for .,the ' recipe, . continues Mr.
Marsh, well, • here's the way Banana
Belt, housewives have been cooking.
the muskrats since the time when
Indians • used to make war whoopee
in these parts: `After trapping, skin-
ning your Muskrat andremoving.
