Muskrats are of much economic value, and should be protected by proper laws. Legal enactments should forbid their destruction during reproducing season and whenever their furs are not prime. Spearing and shooting should be prohibited. Muskrat houses should be protected at all times. The trapping season should be nearly uniform for the different states. Protective laws should contain provisions allowing corporations and individuals whose property is being damaged by muskrats to destroy the animals in the closed season under th supervision of game wardens or other officers, but not for profit. If properly protected the muskrat will continue to inhabit our rivers and ponds for an indefinite period, and to furnish a stock of furs for our own future generations."--Page 37-38.

"It is apparent that the business of distilling alcohol is one which calls for a considerable investment and no small degree of technical skill. It can not be conducted advantageously, from a commercial point of view, in very small plants on account of the proportionately high cost of the plant and of the labor; and many of the so-called "wastes" which have been suggested as fermentable raw materials are so poor in fermentable substance or so expensive to handle that their availability is thereby impaired. It seem that the business, to be productive of satisfactory returns, must be conducted on a fairly large scale, and that the best success is likely to be attained with raw materials of the general types already in use, namely, maize, potatoes, and molasses. The industry is not suited to every locality, and it is most likely to be successful if carried on systematically on a very large farm, or if supported by the joint interests of a fairly large community. The alluring statements sometimes made regarding large financial returns to be obtained by making industrial alcohol with waste, raw material, unskilled labor, and a "cheap" distilling outfit are misleading and can only result in loss if followed."--Conclusion (p.32)
