FAVORITE MUSKRAT FOODS 
The Muskrat 
A valuable 
Furbearer 
The number of muskrats you 
can raise on your marsh or 
waters depends on the food 
supply. Muskrats will in¬ 
crease in numbers as far as 
the food supply permits, but 
no farther. Provide an abun¬ 
dance of muskrat pasturage 
and you may find fences, to retain them, unnec¬ 
essary — in fact, muskrats from other marshes 
will be attracted by the food on your marsh. 
The following plants are the mainstay of the 
muskrat's food supply the year around. They 
are easily grown. Plant feeding beds here 
and there. When once started they will reseed 
themselves and spread out. Foods listed in the 
order of importance.
