Canada’s Black Musk-Rats.

Along some of the rivers In Eastern Ontario, says the Pilot Mound (Manitoba) Sentinel, there exists colonies of jet-black musk-rats. The fur is much more befiutlful and valuable than that of the ordinary brown musk-rat. It would be an interesting experience to Introduce a few of the little black animals Into the lakes and rivers of the northwest, where they would soon increase In numbers.
