Modern fur drying house erected by the Mt. Forest Fur Farm on their Plaquemines 

 parish 'rat ranch. The transparent sides of the structure are of celloglass, a treated cloth 

 that admits light but keeps water out when it is raining, and when the atmosphere is dry 

 the racks are run out by aid of the overhead rails 



Shallow-draught speed boats made of metal and high-powered out board motors permit the 

 big 'rat ranchers to adequately guard their fur marshlands.
