Three or four trimmings will put the fleece in nice shape. and if a blanket is put on for the last week. it will help greatly in bring- ing the natural your to the sur- face. The sheep should be inept out of the rain and strong sun after the first trimming, turning them out for exercise in the even- ing, and keeping them in a cool darirbamduringtheheat oithe day.

The lambs should be weaned about two weeks before the show starts. as this will give them time to get over fretting for their mo- thers, and if they are on good feed they will not get much of a setback.

A Susuestion was made that a

uniform type of peltlng board he used. but it was pointed out that while the boards used could be uniform in outline, yet uniformity of boards did not mean uniformity of pelts. There was no unlfomlty in foxes and it was necessary for the Delter to exercise good judge- ment in the selection 9: mg bond and the placing of the pelt on it. having regard to the individual characteristics or each particular fox. Thus a short, stubby fox would Nqulre a different type of board and a different bechnfc in stretch- ins. etc.. than a long thin-bodied fox. This is where the huh-class pehcr comes in. when he can earn

his fee many times over by exercis- ing his think-piece.

The annual fox show of the As- sociation will be held at Charlotte- town the week or November 23rd to 28th. This is a departure from the Drevious years when it was held the nrst week in November. It was believed by the majority of the members that it would be bene- ficial to the industry in that fox farmers would not be inclined to force their foxes along having in view an early show. on the other hand some members contended that it was not as fa/vol-able a time for making sales or for bringing out-of-province visitors. and that the weather would likely be cold and the roads not so good as at the earlier date. The argument of better fur prevailed.

I do not know whether the trouble is local or if it extends to other mile of Prince Edward Is- land. but during the past two weeks quite a number of fox ran- ches in the vicinity of Oharlottc- town have had some trouble with pups. Arppetites would become dull and eventually the fox would prac- tically go off its feed and some of them showed evidences of white diarrhoea. The usual treatment was to thoroughly clean out the pens, feed utensils. etc.. cut out the moming feed, give a very small feed in the evening with the ad- dition of charcoal biscuits or pure willow charcoal. After a. few days of this treatment the pups improv- ed and were soon back to former health.

In one case the trouble was thought to be caused by feeding too much fish. which was fed every day in quantities averaging about one ounce per pup. This may not have been the cause but anyhow it was cut out and the diet changed to about 75 per cent meat with cereals and some charcca‘, with excellent results. The same ranch has continued feeding fill. one and one-hall! ounces per day to the adults ground up with the other feed and has had no trouble.

I am indebted to the Manager of Dun 6: Bradstreet, Inc., for a copy or Fur Trade survey. dated June lat. prepared by their Re- search and Statistical Division. It is based upon direct investigations of their nation-wide organization supplemented by governmental and trade association reports. The fol- lowing are extracts from it.

“Extending the rapid gains dur- ing the last half of 1935 nearly all branches of the fur trade attained in the opening quarter of 1938 the best position that has been record- ed gince mm. The steady reduction of stocks of razw and dressed pelts as well as manufactured goods in the closing months cu.‘ last year had maintained Activity at a high rate as preparstions were to satisfy the expanding popularity of furs. cupping boldly out oi the luxury classification fur garments now have become an indispensable necessit, for modern atyie con- formity. Even though prices of pelts have advanced 20 to on per cent became of the reduced sup- ply, purchases manmaoturors and retailers for the first quarter of 1980 were larger by 59.2 per cent than in the comparative 1936 per- iod.

Time has been a stroll‘: sales uptrcnd. Helped by one of the octo- oat winters in years and the gen- eral economic improvement. retail- ers of fur garments closed 1935 withasalesvgaino 26to ioper cent over the 1934 volume. During the first quarter of 1038 the pre- vious years comparative showlnz wasbcttcredbyzotosoparoent and the April volume was close to that level, due to the heavy llhster sales of capes and necirpieces.

The writer's comment on the above is that while the information is compiled and comes from the United states and has I erencs particularly to that country. yet the fact that there is a big demand for furs with increasing prices in all lilies will mean that silver fox is bound to improve in price along with the others. It is the only long- haired fur and has uses that places it in a. category 0‘ its own. such a favorable report from the reliable firm of Dun do Bradstreet. m.c., is surley food for optimism for us all.

The June silver fox iiuotlons in London although disappointing in that they did not clean up any- thing like the number of skins ex- pected. due to the almost revolut- ionary situation which prevailed in France at the time, yet showed no tendency towards lowering of price averages as the following figures will prove.
