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. the musk, you cut , off . the hind quarters.
