If a muskrat farm is ideally located, properly 
fenced and well planted with natural foods, it is 
bound to be a money-maker. It is a never-failing 
cron, unaffected by hot, cold, wet or dry weather. 
Muskrats are hardy and immune from diseases. 
They multiply rapidly, being the most prolific of fur 
bearers. U. S. Government Bulletin 869 states that 
from actual observation one female produced thirty- 
three young in one breeding season. An interesting 
experiment has recently been concluded in Manitoba. 
A pair of muskrats were put into a pen and in nine 
months they and their progeny increased to the as¬ 
tounding total of 138. 
It has -conclusively been proved that the young 
female born in the Spring will produce the same 
Fall. We have had increases of a second litter in 
the Fall from a female born in the Spring; this, 
however, is unusual. The next Spring she has the 
average litter, which is eight or ten young.

Gentlemen: 
Enclosed please find my order for materials amounting to 
$50.00. I forgot to mention in my last letter, but would like 
to say now, that the seed which we got from you in the Fall 
of 1931 and planted on our Hog Island property did very well 
indeed. We had a small fresh water creek in which we planted 
the wild rice and we were both surprised and pleased at the 
remarkable results obtained. All the other seeds did excellently. 
Thanking you for past favors and trusting to receive copy 
of order with planting instructions, I am 
Sincerely yours, 
Signed: ROBERT McCOMBE.

Two years ago we bought some Wild Rice Seed from you for 
our lake. It grew fine and we had a very nice stand. How¬ 
ever, a few months later, a water spout broke our poorly con¬ 
structed dam and we lost it. We now have it in good shape 
for standing severe strain and have concluded to plant some 
more Rice. 
Kindly send me 25 pounds Wild Rice Seed for planting in 
our lake.
