TIMELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

Silver Fox Farming '

The American National Fur Breeders’ Association sale of 20.- 200 silver fox a week ago by Lalnp- son.. ser 6s I-luth, New York. had a turnover of 85 per cent. All types showed price improvement

over the January sale ranging from an average of l0 r cent in the best qualities down a slight-

ly upward trend in average and lower grades. The top prices and percentage of sale for the vari- ous gradcs was:

Pulls, 12,404. top $112., as per cent sold; three-quarters, 4,482, to $58.. 82 per cent sold; halves. 2.87. top $35., 79 per cent sold: qulitairters, 594. top $25., 92 per cent so .

There was a collection oi 1135 new color phase silvers and prac- tically all sold, top price realized for platinum: $164, with $92 high for white-faces. Most of the goods were sold to manufacturers.

The fur- manufacturing inclus- tr has been established in Pale- st1lne. The proprietors are emi- rants from M19518. Germany, and gram. Cecelia-Slovakia. The first pr ucts of the firm were display- ed recently at a mow in Tel-A- Viv. the products being Palestine bred and the skins dyed and dress- ed and the styles designed in that

Senator Danaher, a Connecticut Republican, has stated in the Sen- ate at Washington that the time has arrived for the OPA to aban- don its attempts to fix prices of countless articles and tn con- centrate on only about 40 basic commodities bearing direct rela- tlonship to the cost of living. “Who cares what a movie star pays for a fur- coat?" asked the Senator. That does not affect the cost of living for the ordinary person. In- stead of this complicated system of trying to peg the price of ever- thing we ought to have sensibe control over basic things.

The Herbert A. Nleman sale of silver fox held by the New York

Auction Company last Friday. had '

a turnover- of 96 per cent. Prices showed a 5 to 7 1-2 per cent rise over the sale of Nieman silvers last November, and were firm as com- pared with current market levels for similar goods. The top price for ful1 silvers was $86.

The Winnipeg Soudack Fur Auc- tion Sales hel in Winnipeg end of last week were well attended and quite successful. The 000 silver fox offered was 65 per cent sold, with interest concentrated on the finer type pelts. Select

$64. with regular full silvers bring- ing $35 to $50, and medium quality $22 to $28. Inferior- grades average $12 to 1B, .

If you will sOIDGIIIDQI‘ it was an almost pure silver block fox pelt that Sir Charles Dalton received the sum of £530 stirling for at the March sale of C. M. Lamp-son 8r Company, London, in 1910. and it was for a pure black fox skin with just a few silver hairs on the rum that Thomas Mother- all, West ape, received the sum of $1,200 for in 1917.

Litters are arriving in many ranches and from now on every- one will be watching closely ‘.0 see how matings have turned out. It may not be amiss to bring to the attention of our rancher friends the fact that it is a season of‘ the year when a ful1 suppl of fresh water is necessary for {he female lfox. Many ranchers depend snow to alleviate the fox's thirst, but often it is contaminated with dirt and soot and is s. potent dis- ease carrying- source. will pay you and pay u well, to have pans placed for a your females, and 1n fact your males too, and see that the water is renewed at least ' every second day. It is a fact that the female fox becomes more or less fevered as whel irig time ap- proaches and nature y seeks wat- er to alleviate thirst and mitigate the feverish symptoms,

Another thing to be taken care of is constipation of females while carrying young or prior to giving birth. Many ranchers feed bones 01' 810111111 bones in addition to the regular cereal rations which contain a perceritag of ground limestone or ground bonemeal, This often results in foo large a quantity of lime bein furnished,

After all when you 11min it out, the quantity of lime that a fox needs would not be ordinarily more than one-eighth to one-tenth what a human needs, and we do not have to devour 5 to 10 per cent of the weight of our food intake as bone.

Constipation can be helped b the addition of more water or mil to the feed, by the addition of liver, if obtainable, or a small quantity

It. in not to starve the sheepnbe- after billing. If at- mont is given just prior to turn- ing the flock to summer pasture, the flock should be held for at least twenty-four hours to g-lva the drug a chance to act, after which there is no danger of contaminat- ing the pasture. In pilling, the sheep should be held between the legs of an a.seistant,,in such a way that the neck is between the knees. It is desirable that the hind quarters of the sheen be nlaced in a corner or against a.

wall.

1n the actual administering of the tablet it has been found dis- tinctly he pful to have some form of instrument for propelling the tablet back over the base of the tongue and into the throat. A
