CONNECTED VII’!

The writer had an interesting conversation with a silver ion ‘or yesterday who told of his difficulties this spring. As the same houblu may be confronting other ranchers 1 am going to repeat the conversation in abbreviated form. "Late last fall." said my friend, "I placed forty pups in open perm that had been vacated by adult foxes which I pelted. This spring I had an excellent production from them but the litters were mostly late ones and when I looked at them at ten 5-933 liter birth they had the ap- pearance of being infested with worms. 1 dosed them and found that they were alive with them. some 0! the pups could not expel the worms and died. tho carcasses I iound the bowel plugged with masses of worms. I cannot un. derstand how this could come about as I am confident the parent ioxes were free from womis when placed in the pens last fall. They had been on board floors from the time- they were a iew weeks of age and had. been dosed two or three times."

My explanation to him was: Last fall was a mild and very damp one. Just the kind of conditions favor- able tor the development of para- sites. At no time did the tempera- ture go down to freezing and most oi the time it was well above fifty degrees. It is a fact that the iirst frost usually leaves hockworm and lungworm inert for the balance of the season.

Now the young foxes when placed in the adult for: pens were no doubt clear of parasites, but they were at once exposed to the most iavorable conditions ior their assimilation and development. Our iriend probably had no opportunity to iumiguu: or thoroughly disinfect his fox houses to kill off the worm eggs that were there and they hatched out in good style in the mild weather. The parent female foxes‘ teats became infested with these and the little ones suckling her got the full bon- eiit.

Vvhere this explanation does not suffice there is also the fact that snow was off the ground and frost out of it early in March this year. That meant a very favorable condi- tion for the development oi round worms and hockworms. so it is not to be wondered at that there are so many complaints this season oi dil- ficulties with worms where foxes have been kept on the ground in open pens.

The American Fur Breeder in an editorial says: “Mark these words. the time is coming when there will be a lively trade in silver fox and mink breeding stock. New men are coming into the ‘fur brccding in- dustry. Breeding stock will bring good prices. There will be in de- mund for wire netting and other ranch equipment.”

His remarks are of course meant for American breeders where the duty of tiny per cent has kept the price of pelts up to a higher level than we receive and made gsod proiiia for successful ranchers poss- ible.

David E. Gibbs, who is a success- ful iox rancher in Colorado, in an article which appears in May Amer- ican Fur Breeder, says: “I operate my ranch with pairs or foxes and my reason is that after trying poly- gamous mating I was unable to ob- tain as high a pup average per is- ‘male as when operating in pairs. I also find the male makes a good parent and the female seems more contented and safe with the male there.

I have been asked the question. why do you place your kennels on the outside of the pens? I use a double kennel and I can close the iorxes in one. open the other and clean it out. When it is cleaned out 1 put the foxes in the clean one and clean out -the other side and we have not been in the pen to track worm eggs or what-note into the next pen. The entire ranch is often cleaned without ever setting mat in a pen, the dirt put directly into the truck and hauled awlv. thin hand- ling it only once and not walking a step.

My feed usually consists of tripe, hearts and red meat, with cereals.

during the summer and early iau months, and get up as high as seventy-five per cent later on. I will not argue about food, but be- lieve if one is getting good results they should stay with it and not be changing from one thing to an- other. It probably takes more than one year to prove any feed, this to so many things that can or cannot enter into a ranch during the year. such as weather conditions. hand- lin , etc. I have changed my feed. bu little in the past seven years

and during that time the lowest pup average was 3.0 and the hlzhest was 4.4 for every vixen in the ram: ."

Acorn-ding in Frank Pingree, Pres- ident of the Canadian Eur Auction sales Company of Montreal. the quantity of raw furs to be - ‘ ‘ at auction sales in Canada and the United states during the remainder or this year will be small. There has been very little carried over and there are no large quantities of furs being held. Mr. Pingrce at- tributed the small catch of wild furs this year to severe weather condi- tions in Western Canaad and the United states

W. A. Ellison. Jr.. oi the Research Department, Atlantic Coast Fishers- ios Corporation, wrote an article for the Black llpx Magazine, which ex- tols the use or fish as a food, par- ticularly now that meat products are so high in price. These are a few extracts: "The fishing industry is experiencing one oi its greatest production years. This abundance oi iish enables the industry to keep down the prices of its product des- pite increased production costs. As a result the wise animal breeder. seeing an opportunity to reduce ex- penses, is turning to iish as an all year round source of meat , ‘ ' Fish also has been recognized as a wholesome and satisfactory food for ioxes and minks, but it has been customary for the fur farmer to look upon fish either as a seasonal food or as a supplement to other meat proteins.

The misconception that fish flesh is not as satisfactory a source of meat proteins as the flash 0! land animals has no basis in fact. It may have resulted from the unsat- isfactory results of feeding poorly prepared iish meals. A rancher should be careful in the use of des- sicated products and should know the condition of the fish from which they are made. on the other hand the conclusion that fish flesh is not entirely satisfactory is found- ed on many misconceptions. Be- cause fish flesh does not, exhibit the deep red color which is a character- istic of the flesh of land animals some believe that it cannot possibly supply the constituents to build red blooded tissue. The error in this manner of thinking is readily ap- parent when wc consider the dark meat of rcindcers, cattle and horses, whose entire dict consists of cereals and vegetables. The form and color of a food are no indications oi its value as a nutrient. These features are quickly distributed when the digestive juices of the animal have done their work.

These Juices reduce the food and the chemical contents which are the building material for the body. The amount of this building material supplied by the food determines its worth as a food and in the evalua- tion of any nutrient this value must be determined. Putting it another way, the CZ1l‘i)0-ll_\'(.ll‘£ltf‘, protein, fat, vitamin and !I\lll("!'fll values may be assayed, for from these substances the body is built. If they are pres- ent in ihe proper amounts and are available to the animal it does not matter whether they are plant or animal in origin.

Each of these groups serves a definite function in the animal body. The carbo-hydrates and iats supply most of the energy for body heat and activity. The fat aoluable vitamins such as A, D and G are introduced through the ‘food fats. Fat. in the body serves various pur- poses. For example some fat is ne- cesaary for the building of certain tissue. Certain organs like the kid- neys are packed in fat for protec- tion. Minerals are necessary for blood building, bone iormation, hair growth. control of the nervous and circulatory systems. The vitamins assist in the metabolism of the oth- er iood elements and keep the body generally in tone.

Since we are dealing with fish we may limit further discussion of the classes of food to proteins, fats, vit- amins and minerals, because iish like all other meats are deficient in carbo-hydrates. In respect to the other factors we will learn that iish is an entirely satisfactory source, in some instances being superior to meats.

Proteins may be compared to the materials from which a house is built. They are to the body of an animal what the brick, mortar and wood is to a house. Proteins supply the material from which the animal cells are built. They do not supply the fuel which supplies the energy. Fats and carbo-hydrates usually do this, but in times oi emergency when supplies of these are depleted. proteins are oxidised even for this purpose.

. one of its most conspicuous char- - acteristics. Unlike animals oi lam. a iish has no weight to support. 1. is buoyed up by the water. It has no work to do and consequently doe. not have occasion to develop tougl. tendons or heavy connective tissue Fish is easily digested because oi these physical features. it requires only a very short time for digestive juices to reduce fish to a. liquid con- dition so that the animal can ab- 50th the protein values."

Commenting on the above, i would say that the article is intro- duced in considerable detail because oi the tendency a. great many ranchers have now to make use oi fresh fish products. In our own ranch we are feeding it four times a week to the pups for morning feed, and so far they like it very well. Care will have to be taken of course, as the weather gets warmer, to see that the supply is taken care of properly, as nothing spoils quick- er, and tainted iish is one of the most dangerous foods.

Ralph McMillan oi Hunter River. has attained something of a record in his vicinity with 43 living pups from ten pairs oi foxes.‘ Fiity—si.x were actually counted, but eight 0! them passed out.

A silver fox with two heads and six legs was recently born on a fur farm in Vienna, and a female iox at Bunbury is said to have mothered W0 YOUHSI rats with a litter of fox pups. in Northern Mnnchuria there are snow white beavers possessing all the animal characteristics of the Canadian Beaver but of n downy whiteness. There is a ranch in Eng- land which contains a variety of fur ' bearing animals and the caretaker: who has a. facility for makingl friends with them astonishes visit- ors by exhibiting a raccoon to which i he passes a lighted pipe—-and the raccoon actually smokes it!

A Norwegian ship will arrive at Newfoundland May 25th to take on a cargo of whale meat for fox con- sumption in Norway.
