GOOD MUSKRAT FOODS 
The number of muskrats you 
can raise on your marsh o1 
waters depends on the food 
= . supply. Muskrats will increase 
The Muskrat in numbers as far as the food 
RoValuabie supply permits, but no farther. 
Provide an abundance of musk- 
rat pasturage and you may 
find fences, to retain them, unnecessary -- in fact, 
muskrats from other marshes will be attracted. 
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.
