Anybody can try this pr0ce55 fci" himself for it is quite simple. whim l "hwlboy the writer tried it out with violets and lard! But. my experiment dld not get far, because our family were tam ubstaiiicrs and alcohol was not available!

However enfleuvage is not. much used now except for Jasmine and tuberose. These are peculiar flow- ers. for their essential oils are locked up in some sugar compound, and are not set free until the flow- ei"s fade and the compound decom- poses. Distillation. the modern method of recovering perfumes. is of no use in this case, so the old- fashioned "enfiueragc" ls retained. Another plant. the Sweet. Wood- ruff of Britain. shows the same peculiarity in its leaves: they have no scent, even when crushed, but. when faded and dried, they smell of "coumnrin," just. like Sweet Clover. My "Hooker: British Flora" in which n. leaf was pressed fifty years ago, still retains a faint. smell of Wooclruff. At one time this plant was much used for soenting linen. I have often tried to grow Wood- ruff here but without success.

Another way of extracting some

essential oils is by expression: that just. means squeezing. It is a good way too, for the oils do not suf~ for damage in the process; but it can miiy be used for the rliids of citrus fruits like lemons. oranges, and limes. The modern method of extracting perfumes from flowers is one you cannot well do yourselves; unlike the processes described above. The flowers are soaked in one of the stilt-able irolatile (and inflammable! solvents. such as highly refined petroleum ether, an elder brother of gasoline. After the perfume is extracted. the ether is driven off at. a low temperature. leaving behind iviiat is knoyvn as “floral concrete.’ a mixture of the natural perfume, coloring matter, and the plant wax- es.

ODDS AND ENDS

Rumanhri Earthquake Mr. Edgar C Thrupp, Vancouver quake-pre- dictor, can chalk up one mark a- gainst those who questioned his ability. Early in January he gave out: "Oct. 20th to Nov. 10—Second period of greatest earthquake risk. This will compare with the disasters in Chile, Nov. 25. i822, when 900 miles of the Chilean Coast were af- fected." Professional astronomers jibed Mr. Thrupp pretty freely tlirougli the press at. the time but he consoled himzclf with the though]. that "people laughed at Edison too.

However on November 10th - the last day of his period- Rumania and Bulflafll had

iiic greatest earthquake in their nis- tory with a death-toll estimated at between 1,000 and 2.000. and enorm- ous property damage. Providentially for the Briitsh the oil refineries were destroyed and the well-S Ht 0n fire. These countries had a quake on oat, 22nd, when some building fell but no deaths ivere reported. There seems to be (as I hBVB noted before in this column) a periodicity in quake: at times: per- haps connected with the orbital mo- tion of the moon. Fcr instance. on Sept. 27. there were earth tre- mors in Denmark: a month later. Oct. 27. tliere was an ezirthql-iflke in Costa Rica. A disputed text.

ment was 58,300 pelts oui of a toiai world quota allowed to enter the United States of 100.000. Excellent representations have been made by representatives of the silver fox in- ciursiry here to iliixvzi to have remedied some of the most serious grievances in connwziion with the quota, and these will be aired at a hearing ln Washington November 27th. It is possible, in fact probable, that. tile good co-operiiiion which exists between the Canadian and United States prompt the elimination of pieces. tail: and parts of foxes from the quota and that these will be allowed in under a. separate agreement. Un- der the existing agreement they count as a wlzole lox skin. An ef- fort is also being niiuie to ilave live foxes for bfBxWIillg lJUIpQSQS go in under a separate quota. B150 Y0K pelts madc up into scarfs, trimm- ings and capes. These. 10°. had been deducted from our quota in the past. If such an agreement is arrived at: —\vhich as we said be- fore we hopefully believe will come to pass ~—t.iien it is a pretty sure bet that the number of pelts which will grade according w new Can- adian regulations, satisfactory to the American market, will not ex- ceed our quota of 58.300,

grind the meat and bone together. It. is surprising to stick Ln a part. of the foreleg of a horse and watch the knives of the grinder convert It into pulp. They cost in the vicinity of $250. but an well worth the money. Most of the ranchers feed horse meat 1n large quantities for two reasonrfibecause it is cheap and because they believe it is an excellent fur producer. They use the intestines of the horse on the larg- er ranches when they have facili- ties for" killing.

"Feeling startcd about the first of November and will be completed in the home ranch about the first week ln December. The season is a. bit earlier in Michigan as there is very little rainy weather and the nights are quite cool. Most. of the ranches have had good increases, some. like Fromm Brothers, report ‘.200 per cent. There have been losses on several fur farms due to distemper."

Asked if they were interested tn the new types such as white faces, ring necizs, platinum: or near piniiiiunis he said yes, they were getting quite interested and he saw some of that type that came from- Beri Avery's ranch in Oalifomia. Avery secured his original near platinum or platinum stock from Colpitts in Salisbury, N. 8,, and is certainly breeding some fine ani- mals. Two of the male pups he saw from the Avery ranch were the largest he ever looked at and they were beautiful too, very pale silvery types and one of them had u. white face and ring neck. The other was ivhiie all over. They were very heavily" furred and had excellent brushes and tips. "As s matter of fact they seem to be ablo to grow very large foxes in California. and Utah. said Mr. Lilly. "I understand that they have no parasites and no fleas out. there. Some of the pelts I saw at. the American National Fur receiving station last fall that came from Utah were nearly u big a: wolf skins. 1 am lookln forward to the Provincial Fox ow next. week and will have a 300d oppor- tunity there of comparing impres- sions received during my visit to Michigan with what I see produced hem "

‘rho first Canadian platinum fox show on the continent of America was held Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and will conclude this affer- noon at Saskatoon, Sask.

Tho Provincial Flo: Bhow open: next Monday morning, Novcmboz" 18th, at nine o'clock with the ro- ceivlng and classifying of towel. The committee who will handle this very import-ant Job is Parvin Cass and John C. Jack. Summersldc, and Douglas Bell, Cape ‘Traverse. Tuesday morning at. nine o'clock everything will be ln readiness it ls. hoped for judge George A. Cali- beck to start his painstaking and difficult selection of winners. Ex- pectation are that. i '5 wlii keep hlm busy until Friday a ternoon. No one is quite sum how many foxes will be on exhibition but it i: likely that past records will b0 broken be- cause in addition to the registered foxes there will be non-registered silvers and new classes such as white faces, near platinum: and

‘platuiums.

It- will be a moot entertaining ivcck and sure to draw a large at- tcriciance as a great many people are interested not only in the regu- lar lines of foxes but want to have a peep at the newcomers. It ls like- ly that next week will be cold and clear as oold weather has been in evidence for some time In western Canada and should float down this way vcry shortly.

Tire American National Fur and afarket Journal for November has a photo of Well McNeili and Col- onel Dawson, each holding two white face pups in their hands. It is a particularly" cicar "snap" taken by Purina Mills photographer", If either Well or Ulric had posed Dc- fore a professional photographer we obtained.

Quite a number of new type foxes have been brought licre from New Brunswick. Quebec, ltfaiiitobz, Sasgkatciicivzm and Alberta, but the business ls not. all one sided. A western rancher of prominence came here two weeks ago and on his return took away thirty IOXJS. mostly silver females. It appears they are finding out that. the Wes‘..- ern white faces or near piatinllnis crossed with our good Island sit."- ers produce a better fox than the original.
