TIMELY NOTES ON FUR FARMING
We have received from Dr. C. H. Gunn of the Experimental Fox Ranch. Summerside. a report on cooked ground wheat and fish. as substitutes for commercial cereals and horse meat in mink rations. The Doctor has gone to a great deal of trouble and gives the re aulta of his experiments in detail. A copy of this report can be ob- tained on application to him at the above address. Mink farming to- day is a proposition that calls for Itudy and experiment, and the man who wishes to be successful must use his thlnkpiece continu- ally and also use every bit of scientific knowledge and pxperi. mental research that he can get hold of
The Hudson's Bay Company Fur Sale, Inc., of New York reported last week that Argenta types and Blue Iris. Lutetia mink continued to move extremely well as alight- ly stronger levels. The official re- port states: A total of 7,763 Blue iris pelts in the Lutetia collection in as 97 percent sold: Top mnlt-5 brought 358. females, 330. 15.693 Argenia standards were 97 pp.-. cciit sold. Top males went for t32.50. and females for 817.50.
