Murs is a fur-bearing rodent. developed during the' past so years through a patient process of oral! breeding by Mr: Krings, as noted. r"The skins are not suit. able to be let-out and it is hard to tell what the finished product will be like." said Bernard Kirs- nhner of Rusoffs, who explained

with a vertical tuxedo front. 'l'he fur is dark brown with a gray overcast. It looks like mink but its texture is flat.

The underiur and guard hair is the same structure as mink and with further development in breed- ing, mink breeders can obtain good results. said Mr.,Kirschner. He added that he has had many in- quiries from mink ranchers. Wear- ing qualities are reported very good and deterioration reported at a minimum. The same process used for working ermine is being used by Rusoiis. The nationwide chain of schools. with an enrollment of 12,000 students composed of models, potential models and career girls. became interested in the Ger- man claims that a coat compar- able to an 28.000 mink could be made of Mura for only 3700. After sending their fashion authority, Miss Suzette Bauder, to Germany to consult with Mr. Krings. arrange- ments were made to license Rusoffs to raise and develop Mura in A- meriea.

The cape is expected to be com- pletod in about three weeks. af- ter which a team of two Pamela ltevens' models, one wearing the cape. will tour lobbies of leading hotekv determine public accep- tance..

He has pat- ented his animals, and is trying to lease them out on a royalty basis to other breedera There is always something turning up to take the icy out of the Fur Farmers life- we hope Mura is the "Joy killer" for Mink.

"Pearl" hss'repla. "Paradise" as the name of -the new mutation produced by Palomino and Sapphire. to an en- nouncement made by the group of breeders who raise the new type mink. The name of the live mink hgs.been changed to "Pearl". they explained. because the former name "Paradise" cs t be copy- righted. and it is felt at "Para- dise" would be unsuitable, as a secondary name since it may. be superior to any name which might be used to trademark the new col- or pelt obtained from these mink. Also, they said. "Pearl" is a good descriptive name for the new color phase, which was originated by Black Diamond Fur 'Paren, Two Harbors, Minn.

The ,10 ranchers ,who raise the Pearl minkand agreed to adopt the new name for the animals are Black'Dla.mond Fur Farm; Calne's Fur Farm. south Edmonton. Al- berta, Canada; Maclidlnkery. Two Harbors.

Walter G. Taylor has written a very splendid article on sanitation and fly control in a recent num- ber oi the Black Pox Magazine, N. Y. These are a few pointers... Drainage is important as one of the stops to keep the area where G; i accumulate and the dr t ves as dry as possible. Grading oi the yard should be such that water will drain away from the walking area as well as away from where drop- pings and excess feed may accum- ulate. space between rows oi pens and sheds to permit good air cir- culation as well as ready access for cleaning is advisable. For example. in our setup most of the mink are kept in sheds 12 feet wide. con- taining two rows of pens with a 12 foot space between sheds to permit cleenlnl with trucks. In is arrangement it is 24 feet be- ween the we kwsys in the center of the sheds nd these centers are graded approximately 2 feet high- er than the low point which is halfway between the sheds.

In any case whatever you build your ranch grading oi the land prior to building will pay for it- aelf many times over in labor say- ing and better sanitation. Keep- ing mink under sheds is recom- mended as a sanitation improve- ment and in this respect sheds holding only two rows oi pens is pre.i'erable.. The problem of odor. files and to a' lesser degree rats are all interrelated and any mea- sures that improve the sanitation have a beneficial effect on all three. As to odor the excretions from the mink is the paramont cause. and m accentuates the negative in this respect. If the droppings

driven by Harold. Caniin. - His second mile was in 2:06 1l5. Vic Song has won close to 840.000 during his racing career and seems to be a real good bargain for the owner who secured him last

A total of 50 King's Counsel's offspring have won or taken re- cords thisyeer and 57 oi them have been winners and two of them 2-year-olds that beat 2:10 in time periormances. From the above it looks as though King's Counsel will be one of the top sires when the season is ended. Algiers, that was practically a failure for his first years in the stud, is also showing up this sea- son and one of the foremost of his get, Wayahead, paced the last half of a winning mile at Vernon Downs in 1.01 US.

A party of 14 horsemen from New Zealsnd have been touring breeding farms and watching the racing at various tracks in the United States for the past month. They are interested in procuring some new breeding stock for that faraway country where harness racing is very popular. So far they have acquired Flying Song 1:59 by Volomite, dam. Even Song, and Garrison Hanover 4. 2:04 Us by Billy Direct. Both horses will be in the stud in New Zealand with- out being raced as present reg- ulations prohibit the importation of Irorses for racing. Judging by the performances of Australian and New Zealsnd pacera they could, if transported here and acclimatlzed probably compete on equal terms with the best.

Many will regret the fact that the 14-year-old trotting gelding Bud Kalmuck 2:12 had to be dea- troyed due to an accident at Syd- ney in which he sustained a bro- ken leg. He had been racing for some nine years and was a game. good trotter that won his share of the victories no matter where he was owned or what track he raced over. We remember his first bid to fame at Summeralde when he showed surprising speed In the last half of a mile there which stamped him as a trailer of class if he could be controlled. At that time he was owned by Johnny Ladner, proprietor of the Eldon Hotel. and in his subsequent car- eer he passed rthrough several

hands and on the night of the race was being driven by James Moffatt. Among the winners that night was the trotter Question V.. owned and driven by Alex Cam- eron of Sydney. that won the 2nd and 6th races with the best time 2:16 3X5. The trotter Cobblestone. owned by Archie Shore. won the 3rd race in 2:18 and the trotier Clean Up, owned by Don Rankin. was first in the 7th. Colonel Haritsford won the Free For All in 2:13 W5 and 2:14.

At Truro last Saturday night the 13-year-old Nell Kalmuck. own- ed by L. C. Dysart of Irishtown, N.B., and driven by Harley Harri- son,,was a double winner in races 5 and 1!. Her best mile was in 2:16 U5. Last year Nell was go- ing str-ong, setting up a track trot- ting" record at Saint John, N3. of 2:12 325 and the fastest mile in the Marltimes by a troiter at Fredericton-2:09 U5; also a track trotting record for the new oval at S" merslde of 2:12 315. Her total winnings at the end of the season was 810,034. Those who look back on the career of this rather remarkable mare will ,re- call that she has been before the public since she was a 3-year-old and has always given good per- formances. Her sire was Kalmuck 2:15; who,lived to the age of 32 snd,who retained his ability to sire speed until the last. He came from a long lived very hardy strain "and his get have the same quali- ties as witness the comeback of .lennie'Kalmuck at Charlottetown last Saturday night where she won her both dashes on the pro-

Roach MacGregor arrived back this week from Blue Bonnets Raceway, Montreal, bringing with him Senator Barbour-fa pacer My Darling 2:08 N5 and two that he took in trade for Joaedale Clip- per 2:08 112-sir Peter L. 2:(N by Dean Grettan, and the pacer Ton- amite by Wilmington. Roach had good success at Blue Bonnets con- sidering the opposition he was up against. '

The noted race mare Mary Mark t. 2:08 ZI5, p. 2:08 315. slipped the foal she was carrying by Dean Gallon 3, 2:11 last Monday. much to the disappointment of owner Earle Semple. She had won over the heavy track on Saturday night previous in 2:16 115-the fastest mile of the night. Her sire is Long Key 2200 and her dam Fay Worthy M. 2, 2:14 3M by Favonia 2:01 3l4. dam of 11 in the 2:10 list including the sensational Gray Mist 2, 2:03 3H. A standing offer of several thousand dollars has been made by a promhient. weat- ern breeding farm for Mary but owner Earle hates to part with her.

Dr. M. Swarzmsn, dental aur- geon of New York City. return- ed 'Monday after spending a few days in Charlottetown. While here he sold his interest In Dean Gallon 3, 2:11 to Earle Sample. and Earle is now the sole owner of this sensational trotter that had shown a half in 1:02 and a mile in 2:13. a couple of weeks ago over the Charlottetown track. Dr. Swarzmsn is a very keen follower of the races, knows all the lead- ing drivers and hardly ever misses a night's racing at Roosevelt and Yonkers. He is intimately ac- oualnterl with Earle Avery. Bob Ryan, Stanley Dancer. Joe O'Brien and other leading drivers that race at these tracks.

Sammy Kennedy is very pleas- ed with a new addition to his stable, s foal by Pepper, by Volo- mite 2:03 U2, dam, Lusticis 2:13 by Lusty Frisco 2:07 U2. The little chap is coming along nice- ly and with the breeding he pos- aesses he should be a good per- former in the future.

Last Monday for the first time in history the trotters and pacers moved into historic Woodbine Track, Toronto. This track has been exclusively for the runners but the management have taken a cue from Blue Bonnets. which was also for the runners. and realize that it costs too much to operate a track for one type of racing in these expensive days.

Katie Key by Long Key 2:00. set a new track trotting record at Laurel, Md. Raceway last week of 2:03 flat. to head the leading money winning trotter Pronto Don 1:59 (U5 and others in a 510,000 feature race. Her owner Pat Tuc- cio, is completing plans to fly her to Sweden early this fall. A guaranty of 315,000 a month plus expenses is the bait. offered by officials of the Swedish trotting tracks.

remembered us with the score card of the first night's racing at. Fredericton last Monday night. The fastest track in the Msritimea and one of the oldest had a good Ittendance and the management are well satisfied with the start the have made. Winners that nlg i were. 1st race, Sandy Man and Lou Merrill in a dead heat, time 2:2). 1n, the 5th race with the same field Doc Banks B. was the winner in 2:19 215. The troiter Tyndall Sample, owned by George Woodsl e and driven by him, won the lat and 6th races with the best time 2.15. The 3rd and 7th races were won by Dominlon's Pride, owned and driven by J.l-1 Dewitt of Woodstock, but time 2.10. The 4th race was won by Panama Chief. owned and driven by Al Langille in 2.11 U5-the fastest mile stepped in N. B. this season. and the nth race was won by Mighty Bold, owned by W. Stiles of Woodstock and driven by Frank McAlduff, time, 2.12.

At Charlottetown on Tuesday night the pacer sea Plant by Ab- ner T. Olegg, that started the season with a record of 2.11 W5. won the opening dash in 2.16. 1-19 is owned by Ray Stewart and was driven by Cyril Smith. In the 5th dash with the same field Belle Budlllnlu owned and driven by Rennie MacDonald, lowered her record from 2.10 (ill! to 2.15.

All Marltimers are glad that Brewer's, Gallon 2.00 H5, owned by the good sportsman B. C. Cruik- shank of Halifax, that campaigned so successfully in 'the United States with Joe O'Brien driving, is now winning consistently in Quebec with Mr. Crulkshank's son Bert doing the training and driv- ing. At Quebec City a week ago he landed the feature event, the Free For All with both miles in 2.00 (U5 and had won two previ- ous starts. one in 2.07 225 and the other in 2.08 215. He is staked in the 22,500 derby trot in July and a 85.000 trot in September and is also expected to race at Foxboro, Mesa, and other night racing plants where top trotters perform:

A number of Halifax harness horsemen together with Haber Sweeney. are endeavoring to bring back harness racing to popularity at Bridgewater. well known rac- ing center of years ago where the record for Maritime owned pacers was set up by Jollity, time, 2.05 U4. That it is a very fast. track now is shown by some recent per- formances. 1..uaty's Queen, a trot- ter that Horace Willis owned and raced here some years ago and has since been winning a number of races at Truro and Halifax, showed surprising -form by win- ning races 1 and 4 on Dominion Day, the former in 2.13 and the latter in 2.12 215. lowering her record. It was the fastest mile trotted in the Maritimu this sea- son. Hebe: Sweeney's recent im- port from Wisconsin, the 3-year- old pacer Avalon Gal won races 5 and 8 and lowered her record to 2.17 N5. Fergle Baxter, whose principal occupation is on the c. N.R. and who also owned a farm, at Pleasant Grove, PE.I.. in con- versation wlth us a few days ago said to keep our eye on Honors High Jinks. that started the sea- son with a record of 2.19 and at Bridgewater won in 2.14. Fergle tabs him as a 2.10 pacer. His breeding is tops. his sire being His Honor 1.59 IN.

We are sure Rhodes Warren will be pleased to note that his former pacer Lily Marlene, now owned by Mrs. 1:. Milton of Moncton and

would make good in Saint John was Peter Lee Brewer 2.10 225. that at a recent most won both dashes. best time 2.12 IN. only one and three-fifths from Hep Hanover's best mile at that track this season-2.12.
