Large areas of marsh lands in Ohio and Mery1and are mads to yield good returns through the production' of muek- rat fur. Indeed it has been stated by competent authorities. that many of.these marsh lands are worth more, measured by the actual income from them. than cultivated farms of like •acreage in the same vicinity. Owners of such marsh lands usually lease the trapping privilege, unitiog with the trappers t, prevent poaching. The rt terns from the sale of the rnuskrat fur are divided equally between the owuer and the trapped`, the latter securing whatever extra he can front the sale of the flash, Such an industry might well be developed in Canada. Tba coun- try possesses great areas of marsh land, at ptesent of little direct 'Value, which might le made to produce consi ler rile r even u e P Muskrat fur is steadily growing in • • favour. The agrr•eg de offering ole the London market in March, 1014, exclusive of the Audsnn'a Bay Oornpany'ei sales, weal 4 660.500 skins. While this figure probably shotes an accumulation from the previous year ,till the price q'i.nre.d for April wee! 50 cents a skin. The demand for nmek- rat meat would he confined almost soley to the Indotne unless it were found possible to utilize it as a flush diet for other fur -hearers that are being farmed. Such an undertaking should prove of special villas to the Indian and other trappers wha carry on their work in the neo.e remote portions of the country. At the earns time, many ares of march land iu the settled. sections evhieh new are of little or no use might eo,sfly be made to yield considerahlo tlurencrat returns. -A, D.

In entering upon the .campaign In which it is now engaged, the ,Depart. anent of Agriculture of the Dominion has entered upon a task that ehouid do untold good. If, is not that our farmers needed altogether to be prompted to benefit themselves, but that perhaps some of . them do not entirely recognize the seriousness of the present and the more than pro.. bable critical conditions of the future. If the war were to end tomorrow, there would still be need for every effort in productiveness, for many years must elapse before the devas• tation that bas been caused can be remedied or repaired. Unhappily, the probabilities are that the giant conflict will continue for many months yet, in which ease the mind of man cannot fathom or foresee the damage that will have been done to every form of industry. To agriculture in particular byy the waste of life, by ` the wrecking of property and by the spreading of desolation. It is in repairing the damage others cause, that the farmere are called upon to aid. It is their mother country that cries to them. The Agricultural Department is not alone holding conferences at many pointe in the country, but it is en- gaged, as will be seen by the an- 1 5louncement elsewhere, in distribu ting large quantities of literature telling how the farmer can best serve the Interests of the empire, display his grateful sense of patriotism and bring profit to himself. In brief and explicit language. that all who run may read and understand, is pointed out the needs of the situation and how those needs can be met. Above alt, the advice is given to .avoid waste. Everything can be utilized. Noticing need be thrown away as valueless. The economy of production is in saving.
