TIMELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

Silver Fox Farming

__ ..

Over seventy farms were ro- - nted st the auction sale of

Fromm Bros, which is held at their headquarters, Wausau, Wis- cousin,

commencing llfonday, Fob- ruary 8th. Fifteeen thousand Fromm skins were offered and 24,- 000 Federal skins -—which are sil- Wl’ 10X wit-s owned by ranchers and consigned to momma for merchandising.

Skin section, fuii silver, 47 per cent sold, average $21.73. Skin section, threeauarter, 54 per cent sold, average $19.16,

The next, auction sale of silver foxes ln New York will take place on Monday. It has been scheduled to take place last Wednesday. We wonder who will handle the gavel now that the popular J. Gordon Noakes is no more.

E. E Johns‘ , near Fort Wil- liam, whose activities include a mink ranch with a 5,000 production, is importing blue foxes from likihonia. on the borders of Rus- . He plans to mate these up with silvers to develop a new fox, larger than the blue fox and very much on the type of the silver but with s. bluish iridescence. He has, or had, some success with the ven-ture.

Prom now on the breeders of phure bred silvers will have to keep

eir weather eye coon for kinds of which will be directed- purveyore of "freaks." They are more or less organizing all over America and even in Norway as- sociating together. If they can con- vince fox farmers that they have got something they will start a boom comparable to the silver fox boom following the Great War, when breeding stock was sold here, there and everywhere.

Cod liver oil has a tendency to cause t-he rations to be scorbutlc. which may lead to scurvy. In- fantile scurvy among new born pups is very comm r and tards

To counteract infantile scurvy in piips, which may lend ho fatal results, the rations should include food stuffs. in vitamin C, canned tomatoes, lemon Juice, fresh green vegetables. sprouted grain; 1-2 1 ounce of canned tomatoes, or he iuice of one lemon to 5 pregnant females should be fed daily. It is import. ant that these should be added to the rations no matter what is be. ing fed, but, it becomes imperative when cod liver oil is included in the rations.
