The silver fox breeder: of Prince | Edward Island have to thank the Government, and particularly the M.nister of Agriculture, Hon. W. H. Dennis, for appointing W. Fred Burke as Provincial Fox Fieldinan. This is a new departure as far as our Province is concerned. bait one that should meet with the approval of every silver fox farmer because of his qualifications. good common ense and knowledge of the fox farmers’ requirements.

Mr. Burke has had mnny ad- vantage; not possessed by others in that for years he was assistant to Dr. J. A. Allen when the Doctor carried out his investigations into; the ravages of hookworm and other ‘ parasites Fred handled the “.=cope" most of the time and became an i expert in recognizing the eggs of hookworm, lungworm, etc.

Later as a' Canadian National Fox Inspector he had an oppor- tunity o! viewing foxes of all grades and qualities in ranches, and came I in contact with hundreds of breed- ers and assimilated much valuable information. For the past several the fur marketing department of the Can- adian National Fox Breeders’ As-

The thWBht about earmites too wa: right in line at this season, because we found on our ran: quite a number of foxes that had been treated during the Spring were showing evidences of mites such a; shaking their heads and DflWmH at their ears with their feet. We treat these with carbon- tetrachlorldg one part, olive oil three parts; but where this remedy is not available there are axnum- ber of good preparations made by local drugzists and others for sale. Where you come across a bad can ol’ earmlte you should syringe out the ear with warm water to which has been added a little peroxide of hydrogen, then carefully dry out with a pit-cc of cotton wool “map- ped Oil a stick. taking care not to use it roughiy, tin-u ilpply (‘itl'lllll(‘ lotion.

Have you ever seen a bit of l)l‘0W1l scale which appears in the ear of a fox that has earmites placed tinder a microscope? If you have not you can form no sus- picion of the number of little creatures that even a small par- ticlc is made up of. In appear- ance they are like little crabs with a dozen Ieet sticking out, There seems to be wiggling continuously. Their effect on the fox must be terrible, particularly when they gain access to the inner ear. A bad case results in the destruction of the balancing nerves. then the fox goes around in circles These bal- ancing nerves which keep us in equiiibriuna-that is maintaining our direction-have been imitated with ships and aeroplanes a; mech- anical gyrocopes. The Great Creat- or when ho thought out our mechanism loft nothing to chance, and humans have to come back to His handiwork in order to perfect mechanical devices.

The Norwegian Silver Fox Breed- ers Asociation have sent their chief inspector, E. Rochmann, to Canada to study animal health conditions. He will also visit the United States an; Rosin after leaving Canada. For this purpose the sum of $1.250 has been pro- vidcd from the state vetinarian re- search fund.

The membership of the Nor- wegian Silver Fox Association stood at 6,147 on the first day of Jim- unry. i937. Last year 55 fox shows were hold and 10,224 silver foxes and 119 blue foxes were given awards. They have a curious cus- tom in Norway in that if there are eight foxes apparently alike that grade the bcst in a classification, all cight receive first prizes. The same, of course, would apply to seconds, thirds, etc, so you can now figure out how it is possible in award over ten thousand rib- bons at 55 fox shows.

Pelt rtntistics from Norway show that 200.000 silver fox pelts taken off in the fal‘ and winter of 1936 were sold then and this Spring and of these 64,438 were offered through Norwegian auction sale;, with 62.208 sold up to and in- cluding the May sale. These aver- aged 136.76 kroncr, equal to about $39. The highest priced pelt brought $160. The prices received for Nor- wegian pclts in London and other markets averaged about the same.
