Lowell Hancock gave a fox talk

and showed pictures to a group of foxmen in Charlottetown recently. It was very interesting and his re- marks were followed very closely. some of the pictures were espec- ially good, particularly those relat- ing to the development of under- fur. Mr. Hancock is of the opin- ion that the fox pup crop of this province will be a lighter one than last season. due. he thought, in pert to heavy feeding during the mild weather which prevailed in January and February. Whatever is the cause there is no doubt, he said, that in many sections there is a lessened production.

A rancher that has been very

successful on a large scale in this province is responsible for the idea which _several others have follow- ed, of fastening the female in her kennel when she is having her lit- ter. the dog having been taken sway previously, and keeping her there for three weeks. By this method losses have been consider- ably minimized.

Raoul Reymond of swissvale Fox

Ranch, Southport, had counted 2,- 900 pups the other day when Isaw him, and expects his total will run io 2,700 when all females are look- ed at. If so it will be one of the largest crops he has ever had.

ledgfment but I think we are all under a debt of gratitude to hi for the ilne way he staged the radio program which was broad- cast all over the Dominion from his ranch a few months ago. I had a letter from a. friend in the West and he told me he got it very distinctly in Winnipeg and was all excited about hearlngfrom the old sod. Mr. Reymond's abil- ity to speak perfect French made it possible for listeners in Quebec to listen as well.

It is a rather belated acknow-

' ni

Colonel Ulrio Dawson, who is in

charge of the Charlottetown Fur Pool, is very busy getting ready to head the parade Coronation Day, but not to the neglect of his work. However, he takes a run out once in a while with a can of Fraser’s Fox and Dog Feed, packed by Fraser and Johnston, Murrayliar- bor, P. E. I. This is a bye-product which has passed government in- spection and is said to be an ex- cellent preparailon to mix with cereals, particularly for young fox pups, as it gives them considerable calcium which is necessary for the development of their bony struc- ture thereby prcvcntin-1 rickets or other malformation. I have a can in front of me now as I write this and intend to try it out in a few days.

By the way, we do not hear

ycry much of rickcts now, prob-

i»W0 01' three years our American ¥\€18hb0r has been called on to purchase four thousand millions or dollars worth from outside coun- tries, making his hoard - mos; of which has to be buried in the in- terior of the country for safety- now at a figure close to twelve bil- lions of dollars, which is about one-half the total possessed by all world countries.

Sammy is a bit disturbed by this.

because his population is only one- tenth of the world’s total and there is the disquleting suggestion thrown out by some pessimistic P€0Dle that perhaps the other nine tenths might change the standard to something' else.

Of course there is very little in

this reasoning. Gold has been the great medium of exchange from earliest antiquity and will no doubt remain so, but anything can be seized on nowadays to alami peo- ple, and panic once started isdif- ficult to control. The result of it all is that many who figured up their assets a few weeks ago with complacency, have had to revise the schedule very muchdownward.

There is nothing in the world that will put s. damper on the pur- chase of luxuries like a. bear stock market, or one where forced liq- uidation is in swing, hence the rabbits tail reference, becauseno doubt a great many would-be pur- chases oi’ silver fox neckpieoes and copes will be put off until finan- cial sides brighten again.

The regular meeting ofthe Char- lottetown Fox Club will be held in the Agricultural Hall next Thurs- day evening. Arthur Roper is Pre- sldent this year with Percy Bar- low again acting as Secretary. The last meeting was held on Thurs- day evening the 22nd, and I re- gret that I am not in possession of a report, but I understand it was one of the best of the season.

Ed Monkley, always a welcome

visitor, was in to see me yesterday afternoon,pushing the sale of Sun- Glo Products, and I may say that he had an almost irresistible line of argument for his widely used cereals. Ed is chock full of fox lore and information, and Ialways like to have a chance to probe his thoughts on matters connected with our silver fox friends.

Speaking about his visits to va-

rious ranches last year, Ed said he often saw litters with two or three real good pups and one mean look- ing pup. and he wondered why the owner did not remove the un- developed fellow and give him a chance with another of his size so he could get his full share of feed. “In almost every case". said Ed, "these little chaps are either suf- fering from worms, some form of malnutrition or insufficiency of feed due to their not having en- ou"h vitclitv and strfrclh to fight

very much below average. beca everywhere he hears re rts o

ranches. Some of these losses are no doubt due to too heavy a meat diet during the period of gesta- tion.

Ed thinks the practise of using

polygamous males may be the cause a lot of blanks in ranches where that system prevails, be- cause he said the polygamous male is often used before t.he female is exactly ready and then while there is a mating there will be no trul- tion of hopes.

on the dangers of using raw milk. Dr. E. Perry MoCu1lagh of Cleve- land, Ohio, declared that they had traced the cause of tissue-destroy- ing brain inflammation known as encephalitis to the bacteria "bruc- ella. abortus” which causes conta- gious abortion in cattle. This or- ganism is transmissible to human beings in milk and is known to cause undulant fever, a disease marked by varying levers, chills, headaches, and pains in the mus- cles and joints. Its apparent cf- feets in causing the more serious attacks on the brain had not been previously suspected, the Cleve- land physicians said.

Three women and a boy found

to have encephalitis were treated, they declared, and in each case the only cause which _could be found was undulant fever. Three additional cases with the same complications also have beenfound the Doct.or declared. In these cas- es, they added, the brain inflam- mation sometimes resulted in al- most total blindness and severe headaches, sometimes caused ex- treme exhaustion, double vision and staggering, and one woman suffer- ed permanent injury of the pitui- tary gland, the "master gland” of the body located at the base of the brain.

Treatment of the brain inflam-

mation is difficult, the physicians said, but its prevention is simple and effective. consisting merely of drinking only pasteurized milk,

The above should be read by

There is no doubt that contagious abortion is quite prevalent in this province and if mi‘\< or products from herds where it is active is fed to foxes. dire results will fol`ow. Not only that, but the feeding of carcasses of cattle that have been slaught- ered while germs of contagious ab- ortion are active in them is also very likely to introduce some trou- ble into a fox ranch.

Last year I gave ashort account

of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, that priceless document, or rather ser- ies oi documents. which is the material basis of all subsequent works treating of that period of our national history. For the per- iod lmmediately antecedent to the Anglo-Saxon invasion we must tum to the Historia Regum Brit- anniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth. a singular work. but more pol- ished and entertaining than the Celtic and other legends (shall I say fables?) from which it was drawn.

Cveodrey was a Welshman. but

of his life we have only the scant- iest infomation. The date of hzs birth is not known, but he was of an age which permitted him to sign as witness to the foundation charter of Osney Abbey in 1129. He adopted the title of "Monu- meetensis" either because he was a native of Monmouth, or because he had been educated in the Ben- edictine monastery there. He was appointed archdeacon of Llandaff. probably in 1140, and was conse- crated in 1152. as Bishop of st. Asaph, which see he had never visited at the time of his death three years later. This is Prim' cally all we know of Geoi’i'rey’s personal history.

We turn from the man to the

times in which he lived, and the picture becomes more vivid. Hall a century had passed since the Conquest; and the turmoil of it had largely subsided. The Normans had begun to take an interest in the past history of their new do- main, and King Henry I. a con- temporary of Geoffrey, influenced this trend by himself welcoming to his court the story-tellers and poets, the chroniciers and min- strels of England. But the Nor- man noble, sayest another writer, demanded something less mysteri- ous, less fantastic, and lem rom0i£ from his own world than Celtic

to this intellectual stimulus, _und catering to the taste of the time.

Abvut the year 1135. he put out a short Latin tract knovm as the Libellue Merlini or Little Book of Merlin. The hero of this little =*°\'Y il the youth Maximus on Welsh Myrrdhini the mysterious son of I. South Wales princess and her other-world lover. The pro- phecies of Merlin relating to the 5111011 WHS. and the story of the

supernatural boy Ambrosius from an earlier writer, Nennius. were incorporated into the “Libellus", which was dedicated to Alexander, 3151159 of Lincoln, by means of a highly eulogistic letter. In it the "Libellus" is stated to be trans- lewd “from the British tongue into Latin.

It is probable that at this time

(1189) Geoffrey had the Historia Begum in mind and only put out the Libellus as a “feeler" before completing the greater work. 1t- the Libellus-met with instant fav- or and its inclusion in the Historia -as Geoffrey foresaw, according to his biographer-only tended to increase the popularity of the latter.

` MUSICAL NOTES.

There are two instruments

which have come into vogue in the Old Country lately, and these are the piano-accordion and the har- monica or "mouth-organ". The former is said to have thousands of devotees, who lately held a fes- tival or competition in London. The instrument is of the accor- dion or melodeon type, but has black and white keys resembling those of a. piano, instead ol the usual small round keys. From its construction, it is an instrument much inferior to the English con- certina, but then. the latter requir- u almost a genius to elicit the glorious music it is capable of

producing.

The harmonica has had a. great-

er vogue~tha.n the accordion. and has even stirred its admirers to poetry: do you remember the “Ballads of a.’ Cheechako"? There you will find the song of the

mouth-orga.n:-

“I’m a homely little bit of tin

and bone;

1‘m beloved of the Legion ofthe

Lost:

I haven’t got a ‘vox humana'

tone,

And. a dime or two that will

satisfy my cost.

I don't attempt your high-fal-

utln‘ flights;

I un more or less uncertain on

the key;

But I tell you, boys, t.here’s lots

and lots of nights

When you‘ve taken mighty com-

fort out of mc.”

That was all right in the old

days but “the most popular move- ment of the present time is the Harmonica Song Band" says “Mu- sic in Schools", an English month- ly magazine. The band of six players uses the following:-four teremolo tuning harmonlcas, key G; one organ tuning harmonica. key G; one alto harmonica., key G; and six books containing lu- structions and songs. The total cost of the instruments and books is about $6; as the band develops s. vineta. accompanying harmonica may be added, but this costs $1.75

extra..

The hee/cl of the movement is

the “Director of Organization, Na- tional H. S. B. league, Sussex. House, 24, Store Street, London, W.C. 1, England". whose business is to help beginners form their bands. It might be worth while for our young musicians to get together and let us see what they

can do in this line. -

A writer in The Guardian lately

told us that hill-billy songs and Irish 'jigs are not music. That is a little too drastic: they are music. but of extremely primitive style. Some people are inordinately fond of them simply because they have not been trained to appreciate good music at the time when they are most receptive. that is, in their schooldays. One may make exception of 5, few pieces of old- time music such as the “Keel Row". the “Sailor's Hompipe". "Keep Out of the Drip" (other- wise known as "Where's Your Other Foot?"), which have good melody and rhythm; but the very most of it is truly second rate.

At one time I was inclined to

listen to “cowboy songs" as being representative of the old folk- songs; but on discovering that #hey are the modern creations of the synthetic cowboys of Tin-pan Al- ley, my complacency failed, and I listen no longerl

During the past winter. there

have been many juvenile singers on the air, and one heard some- thing like this:-“Whats 1101” name?" "Dolly Smith". "Where .do you live, Dolly?" “Such and such a. place". “How old are you?" "six". "What are you going to sing?" "When I Hold You in IDS Arms, '1‘here’s Only You and Mei” Poor Dolly! Why didn‘t her par- enm teach her something suitable to her tender years. 11180080 Of U10
