Bill Oolpitts of Calgary. brother of Red Oolpitts of Salisbury, N. B. isgoinstotransferhisliups from the ground to sheds am: in order to movlde sufficient accommodation has under construction three miles of sheds. They will be raised two feet off the ground and each com- partment will be four feet wide by eight feet, long with a seven foot. front wall and a five foot back wall. The floor and front will be of one and one-half inch fifteen gauge wire netting and the back and par- titons of wood. The roofs will be shingled.

The pups will be taken away from their mothers and placed in the sheds at about six weeks of age and left there until either mated up or pelted in the fall. The parent foxes will be turned out in larse runs leaving the breeding pens, dens, etc., unoccupied during the summer and arly fall months. The Colpitt’s Calgary ranch has some 1.600 pairs of breeding foxes and this year's production is over 6,000 pups.

Anent the above, our criticism would be that 4 x 8 with the main wall entirely of wire would leave the shed pretty well open to the ele- ments and allow, sun, rain and snow easy access to the fox. Then again one and one-half inch mesh yilre does not seem small enough for the very young pups. The Norwegians use one inch mesh for their floors and it certainly is much better.

Fred Colpitts is using a different method in his ranch. His sheds have wooden floors and shavings are used instead of straw to keep the foxes clean. He has several miles of sheds arlilciquite as large s farm as brother 3

The Manitoba Government, spur- red on by the Manitoba fur farm- ers. have just completed a. modern mperimental Farm, situated a few miles from the Winnipeg city limits, at the Manitoba University and Agricultural grounds. It will be in charge of our old friend Dr. J. A. Allen and is the second Experimen- tal Fur and Research Station estab- lished by him, the first being at Charlottetown, P. E. I. in 1918 and that is unique as being the world's first Experimental Fox Farm.

of course the principal building will be the Laboratory, which is equipped with the most modern de- vices and there are also modern feed ltchens, observation tower and

quarters for the help. The breed- ing pens are 28 feet long by 8 feet wide, with steel posts and heavy

. The rear fl foot section is roofed and boarded on three sides. The animal to be used in the ex- periments have been donated by fox ranchers in the vicinity of Winnipeg and are said to be excellent stock. so the Doctor will not have a handicap of starting out with a poor bunch.

Dr. Allen interviewed, said, “The principal object which we shall have in .view is to solve the common problems encountered in the breed- ing of fur bearing animals. My eon- frere and I will devote a lot of our time to the genetics of fur bearing animals so as to determine if poss- ible the factors involved in such problems as brown fur, smokey tips. poor density, white underful, etc. Our activities will not be confined solely to silver foxes and mink, but we will also investigate marten and fisher. If marten could be domes- ticated as are mink and foxes the annual fur production of Manitoba could be increased by $700,000.00

A few weeks ago Drs. G. Ennis Smith and John C. Jack of the Ex- perimental mix Farm at Summer- side, met the field men of the Can- adian Natlonal silver Ilbx Breeders Association and discussed with them the ya blems that the silver fox ranchers are called upon to contend with. Dr. Jack advised the pilling of ups fir seconds (round womis) at weeks old, and stated that unless a negative test was shown for worms every for should be pilled in the fall of the year.

In connection with the feeding of foxes Dr. Smith gave out as A gen- eral guide the proportion of meats (including fish) to cereals as one to one during summer two to one from September and three to one from November first. In addition they should be fed more roughage such as alfalfa meal and bran, also green vegetation including water- cress ond green vegetables —- not more than one-quarter ounce each meal. Milk is a well balanced food and some may be mixed in the la. tion—whole milk until the pups are three months. after that skim milk. Rice is a safe cereal it well cooked. safer than most cereals, but it needs one-half hours boiling.

Fish, he said. is good food if not too fat and can be fed with cereals just as meat, is fed. He thought that the heavy meat feeding of some years ago was the cause of produc- ing samsons, but not wholly so. Fresh dry brewers’ yeast, which can be obtained at a reasonable price is excellent when fed in the proper quantities.

The state Khme wardens at no- chester, Minna., have been reques- ted by citizens of the state to re- move a colony of beavers which have constructed a dam in Marion township near Rochester. This dam notwithstanding the efforts of the people living in the vicinity of Marion, has flooded one of the most travelled roads in that section, hence the kick.

J. W. Ritchie of Busby. Alberta, writing in the American Fur Breed- er, gives the results of seven years experimentation in the breeding of martens. His original pair of marten muted in July, 1930. He had no suc- cess in raising young, although the two pairs he started with mated, until 1934 when he raised one kit and in 1035 his second female pro- duced cwo female kits. These he expects to be ready to breed this July and he anticipates better suc- cess with their young and probably larger litters, because they are ranch bred, while the pairs he star- ted with were wild caught marten.

Re feed, he says they eat the same foods as mink and about the same quantity, Their health has been excellent. Mr, Ritchie predicts that eventually marten breeding will be the vogue and equally as popular and successful as silver fox or mink breeding.

Years ago muskrat. farming was started in Great. Britain and im- portations of animals made from Canada and the United states. These became a nuisance and four years ago a bill was introduced to control the keeping of these animals in Great Britain, and no one was allowed to keep muskrats except in proper wired in enclosures and they must have licenses.

Those which escaped bred and became a menace and were trapped by expert trappers appointed by the government. In one country three years ago 2,500 animals were caught in that way. Their spread has been kept down but the government in a. report says it is not yet possible to state with certainty that the musk- rat has been exterminated in Eng- land and Wales, since one or more stray specimens or even a breeding polr, may yet survive in some re- mote spot.

We thought raccoon farms were a thing of the past. but we note by an exchange J. W. Marlowe, Charles City, Iowa, will start a raccoon farm on a recently purchased property near Mitchell, Iowa. Raccoon pelts bring good money. but the trouble is that they eat so much their pro- duction is not a paying venture.

Wild raccoon are said to be fairly plentiful in the vicinity of East Point. and a farmer who is also famous as a trapper, gets from thirty to forty raccoon pelts every year. The same man has trapped a lot of silver black foxes, none of which bore tattoo marks in their BN8. one or two were excellent specimens and he has kept them for breeding purposes.

heartily welcomed by the pastor, Rev. John sterling, as well as the large congregation present. An ex- cellent sermon, nppropﬂaig to the occasion, was delivered from the words found in St. Luke 2: 49, “Wlst ye not that I must be about my Father's business." The Guides made a splendid contribution to the interesting and impressive service by rendering in concert their beautiful prayer, and also by Joining with the congregation in the hymns and . p0IlBlVu reading. The preacher emphasised the im- portance of comprehending in early youth the true meaning of life and exhorted the Guides to prepare i“emselves in mind, and spirit to assume their rightful re- sponsibility in the remaking of a world in which chaos and misery prevail as a result of human greed and seliishneu. He expressed the

hope that the training received by them as Guides would stimulate their seal for the eternal veiitier of life and enable them to realise the folly of pursuing the baneful and frivolous pleasures so rampant in the present age. Living_ thus. they would experience the joy and satisfaction of those who earnestly endeavour to follow the Great Guide.
