Nature  Notes 
Hints  on  Muskrat  Farming 
On  page  543  J.  E.  G.  asks  for  some 
information  in  regard  to  muskrats.  From 
boyhood  until  a  young  man  I  did  more 
or  less  trapping,  and  can  give  a  few 
hints  which  may  help  him.  I  sadly  re¬ 
gret  I  did  not  take  up  the  business  long 
before  the  best  marshes  were  drained  or. 
the  price  grew  until  only  those. who  do 
not  have  to  work  for  their  daily  bread 
can  afford  to  buy. 
It  would  be  foolish  to  undertake  this 
on  land  that  would  be  dry  at  any  season 
of  the  year.  The  water  should  be  at 
least  4  to  6  ft.  deep  in  the  body  of  the 
marsh,  which,  of  course,  has  been  planted 
to  wild  rice  and  other  water  plants.'  With 
such  a  place  no  fence  is  required,  but  if 
the  water  is  so  shallow  that  it  freezes 
to  the  bottom,  your  rats  will  leave  and 
hunt  for  food  and  water.  I  have  fre¬ 
quently  found  them  on  their  journey  from 
a  frozen  marsh  to  the  river  or  open 
water.  If  the  marshes  referred  to  are 
fed  by  springs,  and  by  opening  them  the 
flow  of  water  increased  to  cover  the  land 
with  5  or  6  ft.  after  dam  is  up,  he  would 
be  assured  of  an  abundance  of  water ; 
but  in  order  to  meet  this '  expense  he 
should  have  30  or  40  acres  under  water, 
but,  of  course,  this  would  vary  in  depth. 
Into  this  marsh  he  might  haul  some 
old  logs,  stumps,  and  tree  tops,  which 
would  give  a  “homey”  feeling  to  the  rats 
and  furnish  the  foundation  for  their 
homes.  Regardless  of  the  fact  that  the 
muskrat  is  very  generous  in  her  efforts 
to  replenish  the  marshes  with  her  own, 
one  must  use  a  little  judgment,  and  not 
trap  after  March  1.  Also  provide  a  gen¬ 
erous  supply  of  parsnips  for  food  in  early 
Spring,  when  natural  food  is  scarce. 
Experience  is,  after  all,  the  best 
teacher,  and  one  will  soon1  learn  what  is 
best  for  the  rats  and  follow  along  those 
lines,  for  he  will  look  to  them  for  the 
revenue  to  meet  his  expenses  and  furnish 
his  dividends.  W.  Ji.  AT.

Training  Cats  to  Hunt  Rats 
You  are  right  about  the  value  of  well- 
trained  dogs  and  cats,  but  how  to  train 
cats  is  a  puzzle  to  most  people  who  can 
manage  dogs.  Here  is  my  way,  which 
has  worked  with  several  cats :  I  begin 
with  a  cat  less  than  half  grown.  It  is 
kept  at  the  barn  and  given  some  milk 
direct  from  the  cows  at  milking  time. 
The  children  are  not  permitted  to  make 
a  house  pet  of  it.  A  pampered  pet  cat  is 
rarely  useful  as  a  rodent  hunter.  If  one 
succeeds  in  getting  the  cat  attached  to 
the  barn,  it  will  gradually  and  instinct¬ 
ively  acquire  the  habit  of  catching  mice 
and  small  rats,  and  later  the  biggest  rats. 
Never  put  a  cat  into  close  quarters  with 
a  big  rat,  for  you  are  likely  to  ruin  his 
morale.  Give  him  chances  to  tackle  rats 
in  wide  open  spaces.  Do  not  feed  until 
fat,  and  feed  only  where  you  want  him 
to  stay.  Treat  a  cat  as  above  and  the 
chances  are  that  seven  out  of  10  will 
prove  useful.  I  have  now  at  my  barn  a 
big  three-year-old  cat,  “Sir  Thomas,”  who 
has  lived  almost  entirely  on  milk,  plus  the 
meat  he  catches.  lie  slays  rats,  mice, 
rabbits  and  snakes,  but  never  a  bird,  and 
just-  as  a  terrier  does — for  the  fun  .  of 
killing.  He  is  never  absent  at  milking 
times,  morning  or  night,  and  usually 
makes  a  tour  of  feed  room  or  haymow  as 
soon  as  this  y>an  of  fresh  milk  is  finished 
The  biggest  rats  do  not  worry  him.  Like¬ 
wise  the  biggest  tom  cats  rarely  visit  the 
barn,  and  then  their  calls  are  about  40 
seconds  long. 
For  15  years  I  have  kept  one  cat  at  a 
time  and  treated  as  above.  It  will  in¬ 
terest  cat  haters  to  know  that  dozens  of 
species  of  birds  nest  nearby,  and  any 
Summer  day  one  could  find  more  than  50 
species  of  birds  within  500  ft.  of  my 
barns,  where  “Thomas”  is  monarch  of 
the  rodents.  N*  A-  B*

Bees  Fancy  Humans 
Seeing  the  account  on  page  050  about 
ugly  bees,  reminded  me  of  an  experience 
I  had  a  number  of  years  ago.  Myselt 
and  neighbors  always  keep  a  few  hives  ot 
bee«  I  never  used  a  veil  to  handle  a 
swarm.  One  day  Mrs.  L.,  my  neighbor, 
came  running  a  quarter  of  a  mile  to  in¬ 
form  me  that  a  swarm  of  bees  had  set¬ 
tled  on  her  little  boy  sifting  in  the  weeds 
near  a  stone  wall,  and  she  had  no  box  to 
hive  the  swarm.  After  securing  a  hive  I 
ran  to  rescue  the  child,  whom  I  found 
completely  covered,  face,  head  and  all, 
with  bees.  I  got  every  bee  in  the  box 
with  my  bare  hands,  and  neither  the  boy 
nor  me  received  a  sting.  I  would  like  to 
hear  of  a  boy  of  the  same  patient  endur¬ 
ance  to  allow  a  swarm  of  bees  over  him 
for  at  least  30  minutes.  He  is  alive  to 
verify  my  assertion,  and  remembers  it 
well.  Now  to  the  reason  of  my  letter: 
The  next  season  when  this  hive  swarmed, 
they  chased  me  into  the  woods,  and  I 
have  been  afraid  of  bees  ever  since.  I 
have  concluded  you  cannot  trust  them.

where  they'  live.  Make  an  opening  in 
one  side  for  them  to  come  out.  Take  a 
bottle  of  household  ammonia  and  pull  out 
the  cork,  'slip  a  long  stick  that  will  reach 
half  way  under  the  room  into  the  neck  of 
the  bottle.  Shove  this  back  under  the 
floor.  Now  smash  the  bottle  and  let  the 
fumes  spread.  I  will  guarantee  the 
skunks  will  all  march  out,  after  which 
time  seal  up  the  wall  tight.  I  do  not  be¬ 
lieve  you>  will  ever  be  bothered  again,  as 
we.  were  not.  You  can  use  the  smoke 
from  the  exhaust  pipe  of  a  motor  ear, 
and  they  will  usually  walk  but,  but  the 
ammonia  is  surer,  as  they  seek  fresh  air 
immediately.  A.  E.  king.

Depluming  Mite 
I  am  having  trouble  with  my  Barred 
Plymouth  Rock  hens  losing  feathers  on 
neck.  They  have  the  appearance  of  being 
worn  off.  Right  in  the  same  flock  I  have 
R.  I.  Reds  and  White  ^eghorng  that  are 
not  affected  in  the  least.  The  hens  are 
all  fed  the  same  and  look  good  otherwise. 
Could  you  give  me  a  remedy?  J.  B. 
Amenia,  N.  Y. 
The  depluming  mite  seems  partial  in 
your  flock ;  he  will  probably  attack  the 
others  in  time,  however.  You  may  get 
rid  of  him  by  greasing  the  skin  of  the 
bare  spots  well  with  some  simple  grease 
or  with  sulphur  ointment.  Or  you  may 
sop  it  well  with  a  solution  of  sodium 
fluoride,  one  ounce  to  the  gallon  of  water, 
or  one-fourth  ounce  to  the  quart.  This 
dip  is,  perhaps,  more  effectual  than  the 
greases,  but  it  is  not  always  easy  to  find 
sodium  fluoride  at  the  drug  stores.  The 
damage  to  the  flock  is  chiefly  to  its  ap¬ 
pearance.  sr.  b.  v. 
Damage  from  Cold  Wave 
A  severe  cold  wave  which  struck  the 
East  early  in  the  second  week  of  May 
seems  to  have  caused  more  fright  than 
harm.  In  many  cases  ice  formed  on  the 
ponds  and  tanks,  and  as  fruit  was  in 
full  bloom,  it  did  not  seem  possible  that 
the  crop  could  escape  damage.  Reports 
show,  however,  that  there  was  little,  if 
any,  loss  except  in  certain  exposed  locali¬ 
ties.  The  trees  were  mostly  in  good  con¬ 
dition  to  withstand  a  freeze,  and  while, 
of  course,  the  full  loss  cannot  be  known 
for  some  weeks,  our  reports  indicate  that 
the  cold  wave  will  have  little,  if  any, 
•‘fleet  upon  the  general  crop.  The  greatest 
loss  seems  to  have  been  felt  in  asparagus 
and  strawberries.  In  many  cases  the  as¬ 
paragus  was  killed  to  the  ground,  but  it 
will,  of  course,  grow  again.  Where  straw¬ 
berries  were  open  and  on  lower  ground 
they  were  generally  hurt  The  peaches 
seem  generally  to  have  escaped,  although 
there  are  some  reports  of  local  damage, 
and  that  is  also  true  of  early  apples.  Take 
it  as  a  whole,  however,  there  seems  to  be 
much  less  loss  than  was  anticipated.
