'I'hey are having considerable ﬁlms: many sections of the ted tes in raising platinum pups and ranchers quite often iwtite their magazines asking for advice. The American NatlonaPs veterinary consultant believes that is a matter of feeding and says e rancher who is losing plat- hlsms. should carefully examine his ration and see that it is bal- llloed. He particularly advocates the addition of concentrated cod {liver oil, in Brewers yeast and 5% of vege bies.

Inning he states: "The vixen should be fed ad- te amount of feed to enable a ntlful mink supply. Nursing Vixens that do not supply suffici- ant milk are apt to be irritated theésups continually trying to gee. nusual disturbances about ranch may also cause vixen! beams irritable and during e qcitement they may destroy Ilofe atinum pups than they will ver pups although in some uses that may appear to be so. It may be well in such cases to con- aldsr culli individuals and stains that ave a tendency to destroy their young. It is known fact that certain do have that tendency.

The warning issued by the National Better Business Bureau is apparently caused by a large amount of chinchilla Pllbllﬂly which has found its way into thr magazine and press recently.

Frank G. Ashbrook. noted Unit-

ed States government is of the opinion that it will be quite a time before Norwegian fur farmers can produce large i ua.ntities of silver and platinum goxes. The Norwegian blue fox. however, has fared better during the German occupation. General- ly speaking it is superior to the others offered on European raw fur markets. Its distinctive grey blue color fine texture and luxur- ious cover ng of fur makes it a de- sirable commodity. This fox is the result of successful cross breeding where the undesirable character- istics have been eliminated and the desirable retained in the off- spring.

Mr. Ashhrook commenting on the number of live fox and mink show held last ear states: "Fur farmers in the uited States and Canada have lost no time in as- suming their pre-war pace in his phase of the business. The ne- sire to conduct live fox shows has greatlvy increased. Upward: of 3.- 000 animals were placed on show tables in the United States last Novem and December and probably 2,000 on show tables in anada. There are tremendous educational benefits to be derived from holding such shows.
