comer: win: 3 Silver Fox and Mink Farming

Good news for mini: ranches is found in an article which appeared in Women's Wear Daily recently. written by Sam Gottesfeld. He estimates that at present between '10 and '15 per cent of the United states mutation crop and 60 to '10 per cent of the standard rlanch mink crop has been marketed. In that opinion he is backed up by offlcials'of the New York Auc- tion Co., Lampson. Fraser dt Ruth and other mink marketing experts. There will be no important mink offerings by these auction houses during March. The next sales are scheduled to be in April and in- dications are that there are still some top quality mutation mink remaining to be offered.

Thus far in the season the turn- over of mink pelts at auction has been outstandingly high and it is generally conceded that the quant- ities of mink offered have probably been marketed more quickly than evc before. The trade at large has demonstrated what to some is an amazing ability to absorb the pelts and levels have held firm or climbed to as much as 20 per cent on medduim bracket sapphires (Cer- uleansl. The early rapid market- ing of large quantities of mink was indicative. auction house sources said, of ranchers desire to unload quickly because they saw in the decline of other commodities the possibility of a similar decline in mink levels. with this unusually rapid marketing of the mink crop many of the dealers felt there would inevitably be a decline in price levels because they felt the trade

ENGLISH YORKSHIRE BDARS

The grandsire of these boars was the first English boar to qualify in Advanced Registry in Canada. Their dam is now on test. I

They have particularly good bone and feet and are of strictly bacon type. i

These are the type of boar that will sire pigs which will go to market on a hundred pounds or more LESS feed.

Our herd is completely disease free.

We had the champion bacon carcass hog at the Ottawa Exhibition and the top scoring bacon hog at the Ottawa Winter Fair in 1952, these boars are of the same breeding as were the champions.

was financially and physically un- able to absorb such great quant- ities in so short a period.

However, certain developments have contributed to the strength of the mink market. Established purchasers of mink have had to face the competition of foreign buying, and of the entry into the mink field of many dealers and makers- who have hitherto not handled the item, as well as of in- creasing nurrdoers of new firms. Europe, too, has all season been displaying a greater interest in mink. The Scandinavian crop is now said to be all but cleaned out and in the United States European buyers have increased their purchases at auction over previous years. In addition to standarc'- they have shown keener interest in mutations of all types includlngisapphires. One auction house source pointed out where some Americans have shown a bit of reluctance in purchasing smaller size pelts of finer texture. Euro- peans have stepped in and paid strong prices for the merchandise.

Another factor, of course, and one of equal, if not more. import- once than European participation. has been the increase in the num- ber of firms handling mink at the peltlng and manufacturing levels. Various other factors could be quoted to show why mink has been so strong this year and one of these is the report of the dressers. One dressing house spokesman esti- mated that the dressers as a group have added over 400 new customers. Statistics aside, the consensus is that the ranks of mink market sources has swelled substantially, and the outlook which at first ap- peared not so optimistic is clearly good.

At His Oslo. Norway, March 1st sale standard mink offerings of 11,229 first and second quality males were 99 per cent sold at an average price of 96 kroner (about 517). An offering of 14.123 silver foxes were only 41 per cent sold with a top of 170 kroneri (about 823.80). Blue foxes were mostly withdrawn. Plaoinume had a very limited demand witlf a top of 230 h-oner (about :38.)

The Manhattan branch of the I. J. Fox Co., shut down Saturday evening, February 28 with only the executives and a few members of the clerical staff on the Job Mon- day morning to put the finishing touches on the burial. However, the President, Howard Fox, an- nounced his intention of staying in the busine. The firm has had troubles with their help, who de- mand higher wages than they can afford to pay. I. J., the founder passed away a few years ago. He was a very remarkable man and bought the finest furs of every decription that were sold at auc- tion. It was he who paid 55,000 for a Norwegian platinum fox at the March auction of 1938 when they were first introduced into the Un- ited States, and he bought a lot of other skins at that same auc- tion for much smaller figures.

At the Danish Fur Sales held in Copenhagen March lst, a total of 26,000 standard mink males and 18,000 females were over 95 per cent sold. Prices were sughtly weaker than January levels. Of 2,000 mutations offered better qualities were said to have sold at current market prices. An of- fering of foxes and nutria was withdrawn.

A Japanese firm has obtained

government permission to import 30 mink for breeding purposes. Mink breeding had, been started before the war but never got very far. One breeder succeeded in keep- ing a few animals alive and now has 60. Six other breeders have made applications to import and at- tempts are being made to entice American firms to help finance the venture on a large scale. Our readers will remember in the years of long ago when Dr. Leo Frank sent a shipment of silver foxes to Japan. It must have been in the early 1920's and from that shipment quite an industry was developed which was wiped out during the war years. The official report put out by the Hudson's Bay Company. Mon- treal regnrding their recent sale is in brief ...W1ld mink, 83 per cent sold. unchanged; silverblu mink. 70 per cent sold. good de- mand at firm prices; pastel mink, good interest with 51 per cent sold, unchanged; miscellaneous mut- ations. 50 per cent sold at firm prices; tandard ranch mink, very good demand with 78 per cent sold at firm prices. All cornaparisons are with Janua.ry .'I'he company added - "Throughout the sales we have received very good support fro'- Europe, including Great. Brit- ain. France. Germany, Belgium and Italy."

Hong Kong, the British posses- sion on the tip of China, has a great luxury trade and the most popular riod for ":-play of furs is Febr , during a meet after the Chinese New Year holidays. or as they are officially designed; the Spring Festival. A wide range of newly designed fur coats, Jac- kets, oapes and stole: have ap- peared ln local stores this season. A great many of these furs are taken away by their owners who are either leaving the colony for colder climates or are transient passengers who find that because Hong Kong is a free post they are able to find better bargains than elsewhere on their travels.

Canada. and Russia supply the bulk of furs imported into Hong Kong. The top price for a Canad- ian '-vr onfered by Siberian. is a full i th coat of sllverblu mink which ells from 20.000 to 25,000 in Hong Kong dollars. or 3,350 to 4,200 in United States dollars.- Ganadfan standard ranch mink full length icoats are prices between 52,500 to 33,000, while Canadian muskl-at ' between 5375 and 8470. For a pension lamb full length coat the price range is from 3670 to

sponges ('Porl!en'l). these are a clan of animals with a type of structure that is simpler than that any other Metanoa or multicei- luar form. The body of a span! 58 not differentiated into organs and its tissues appear as if only in the maklngfrhey are almost all mar- ine and occur from shallow depth: near shore to great depths in the ocean. They multiply by cell divis- ion and also by sexual reproduc- tion. In the latter case the younz has a short free swimming period. when the cells have cilia and move away from the area of the mother sponge; to attach themselves to rocks, seaweed or other animals.

When the Ascetta, a v simple sponge, is examined a small vase- llke body can be seen. fixed at its base. but open at the apex. Micro- scoplcally examined a layer of cil- ia'ted cells are seen withn the vase and a. delicate external skin and between these a central stratum in which lie numerous needles of lime that form a. supporting skele'tor.. There are numerous fine canals through these walls and wa'ter flow- ing in through them early the micro-orginlsms and particles of organic debris that form its food. These are caught by the clliated cells: these like so many of the Monads, swallow their food first and digest it intercellularly a.fier- wards. The flowing water carries "the oxygen necessary for digestion and respiration: it washes the cells fnd passes out the exhalent aper- ures, of the vase.

t O O

Sponges have many other small animals associated with them. these play hide-and-seek among the sponges and use them partly for shelter and for catching their own food sucply. There are a number of the Eusoongia species that are of economic importance. The trade in sponges is largely from those that come from the Levant and is car- ried on by Greeks. Sicilians and Tunlsians and also from the West Indies and the coast of Florida by the sponge traders of the Bahama Islands. In 1010 the trade in sponges from Turkey and Greece amounted to about a half million dollars annually.

NOTES -

There bee grown up is recent years a very cornpetitive izmde by the development of the synthetic cellulose sponge. This versatile, dur- able and economical product has enabled housewives and dthers to find many new and helpful uses for sponges that were not thought of when only the natural sponges were available. These synthetic sponges can be bought in hard- ware, five and ten and drug stores and can be used in almost limitless ways, because they have almost the albsorbtion qualities and are not so cfragile as the natural sponges. They do not have any of the grit of the 113?-U"-1 ED011868. which if not prop- erly treated many have parts of the lime skeleton still within them.

Everyone is familiar with the lit- tle poole of soapy water that ac- cumulates ln the spaces for soap on wash basins. When soap is left ly- lng in this it forms jelly with hard- ened soap crusted edges, which waste the soap and leave a chore to be cleaned up. By taking a small piece of flat cellulose sponge. and cutting it large enough for the soap to rest on it, you can keep the soap dry and hard, as the sponge will absorb the water. and hold the -50313 ilrom slipping into the basin, or onto the floor when touched: and dry soap will be found in last much longer in the bathroom,

The family can also use cellulose sponge to wipe out the basin or the kitchen sink when they are through washing. so that there need no longer be a grease ring around the basin or the sink. Another sponge may be used to clean the bathtub. and by rubbing it little soap on it. the tub and fixtures may be made shining in a few moments; then Just rinse and squeeze the sponge and go over the while porcelain, removing all the smears and streaks that usually are left when a cloth is used. Some have found that for the family bath. a little soap rub- bed on-a sponge will quickly pro- duce a lather that delights the children, and will thoroughly cover them with suds. After the bath, the enamel wallboard can be quickly freed from all traces of soapy wall splashes and finger prints by rub- bing it over with a sponge; stub- born spots may need the use of some cleaning powder, these can be then rubbed dry with a rinsed sponge after squeezing the water from it.

of the many other uses in which I sponge may prove to be exceeding- ly efficient are: For cleaning mir- tors. dishes, pots and pans, and the everyday cleaning of woodwork. floors and windows. It can be used for -dampening clothes for ironing, and when used for dusting, it gath- ers up the dust instead of displac- ing it to settle somewhere else.
