The moat dangerous parasites are invisible with a microscope. They produce millions of eggs which are expelled from the body of a mink. sometimes through the nose and somctimca through the intestinal tract. These eggs immediately re- lnfcst the mink by enteringthe body again by means of feed that has been dropped on the eggs, or even by the water the mink may with some of the eggs.

He stated that there was danger of mink broederslnfccting a whole ranch by carelessness in cleaning methods or by. using the same catching box for several mink with- out disinfecting it after each mink has been released.

Dr. Russel of Kitchener, was an- other highly interesting speaker and his talk was on iox breeding prob- lems. He said that. a female fox must. be fed correctly from the time her pups are weaned until the following whelping time in or- der to obtain hlg hproductcn. He showed how the old practice of reducing the ration during the summer months is detrimental to the production of large- litters and explained many of the causes of failures in female foxes producing litters even though they had been successfully mated. A straight moat diet for female foxes is almost in- variably followed by a failure to produce strong pups.

Dr. Russel ended with a talk on polygamioils mating in which he expressed the opinion that most dog foxes are only in season and capable’ of mating a.‘ female for‘ about two weeks‘ after serving the first female. _

It‘ appears to the writer that the above meeting must have resulted in much good. The presence of such outstanding men as Drs. Lawe, Kingscote and ‘Russell is stimu- lating. The idea has been suggcstad of instituting a fox breeders‘ field day or picnic or whatever. you care to call. it, on Prince Edward Island. If ‘the promoters’ carry it through to a.conclusion we would respect- fully suggest that the gentlemen referred to-above be invited‘ here. They, together with some oi our own-experts, would make an after- noon's talk that would give, us a new impetus or inspiration to im-

,One of the most interesting articles that we have md- for months appeared. in The lioavcr. published by The Hudson's 3w Company, winnlllvs. entitled. "Sevq en Thousand Square Miles of Beaver Sanctuary." Here are some excerpts; ‘

' I ' (O0ntiliu¢d)_" " ‘ _ ~' _ ’ In feeding brood sows when dry, a mixture of ground ‘oats, fbarloy, shorts or middllngs, with skim milk, buttermilk or whey, makes a ' ration. A sow weighing 300 pounds should have about:

2 lbs ground pats

1 lb. mound barlpy _

l 1-2 lbs, middlings or shorts . 6 poimds skim milk or 12 lbs whey

6 lbs. roots, preferably mangels.

lf milk is not available, about 1-2 to 3-4 lbs tankage, or the same amount of oil cake, should be fed. In addition, shows should be fed ﬁrs. or redclover hay in afecd

It is a goodf ‘plain. to have a mineral mixture available to breed- ing sows at all times. While we have alway! Considered it necessary to "salt tho cattlcﬂfew farmers think of "suiting the hogsl except their carcasses to be cured for pork.

Salt is very necessary to pigs, however, though they do not ooh- sume it in very large quantiics. The Department of Animal Husbandry in the University of Alberta recom- mends the following mineral mix- ture for hogs:

'76 1-2 lbs. soft coal,

2 1-2 lbs. slaked lime.

2) lbs. salt,

l lb. sulphur.

Breeding sows should be on pas- ture, and where they have abun- dance of green feed to eat at will, very little grain need be fed when sows are dry. Two pounds per head per day, is quite sufficient.

Sows that are sucking young pigs must be well fed, and their ration should be prepared with a view to nou ing both tho mws and her you .

n a good supply of skim milk i: available there can be no better addition to a meal ration than this. Twenty to twenty-five pounds of milk might be added per day, and six to eight pounds of roots might he fed in addition. _

The meal ration would vary ac- cording to the size of the liticr. A fair ration would be:-

3 14 lbs. ground oats.-

3 i-tlbs. Imund barley,-

4 lbs. middlings.

1-2 to 841M. linseed meal

Vigor, thrifclness. and good health are in- dicated by a. well set curl in a pig's tail. ‘Phi: is a- very easily observol method of determining its good health, and the competent pig breeder likes to see his animals carrying their tails in that graceful swirl which is always the mark of ahealthy hog. fwhen a pig's tail dmoips, its flag is half mast.

ever, what damage or‘ dango can there‘ be to the fox if he really has; apart from lungworms, a few other worms? We have beonbeeping fox- es for the‘ pastten-‘years in the some". pens. ‘These ‘foxes, if itiis found‘ necessary,‘ ‘are plllod for worms once‘ or twice a year. Besides this they receive once in a while garlic. turnips ‘and onions, mixed into the food, and also on occl- sioru feathers are admixed. ‘

_ Since the beginning of this year. of about 00.1mm. 5 two ,0!

Dr. G. Eschonbach goes on fur- ther to stale that his experiments with small wooden floored pens were very unsatisfactory from a breeding standpoint; True.‘ he Ellis he may have made some errors in feeding, but for the greater part he places the blame on the small wooden flocmdpan.

The above comments by our German friend certainly make in- teresting‘ wading, but they dnrnot ‘quite fit in with our experiunoes in this province whom it least ‘l6 par cent of thofoxos are raised ‘on board floors. We think the Doctors feed syntorh‘ ‘must have ‘boon oon-

Not so the birds: the species that we would most gladly part with have been knowingly introduced by man. In the year i890, (or 189i) one hund- red starlings. were introduced into the city o!

In i005 two pairs of mus- quash‘ (to give them their more elegant name) were transported by an Austrian nobleman to his estate in Bohemia. They were turned loose. and as there was no check their numbers increased till they began to break down the banks of streams, and the dams of the fish- ponds. They fed on the crayflshes and , mussels-both valuable com- merclally-depopulatcd the trout ponds and streams and were said to raid fields, gardens, and poultry- yardsi Germany was invaded about 1914, and by 1928, the muskrat had become a serious pest. In that year from 80,000 in 80,000 muskrat skins were sold in Berlin alone. But the end, is not in sight. In 1932 there were fourteen licensed muskrat farms in Britain, and. they were supposed to keep the animals in close captivity. By dint of digging down many feet some individuals made their escape. The numbers of "free" muskrats are now computed to run info millions and they have become a plague in some parts of Scotland and in the Severn Valley.

Man's meddling with the "bal- ance of nature" is a costly affair.

NUPES ITWM MY GARDEN

A single plant of "Ragged Robin," otherwise Lychnls Flos-cucull. has made its appearance and is bloom- ing lnthe garden. It is two or three years. since tho seed was sown. and then it was in another place: and never a, sign of it till now! "Ragged Robin" is a. native of the British Isles and a favorite in folk-lore; poets have sung of its prgtﬂy ping jaggednﬂowerl. It ‘loves the moist lush meadows of the homeland, and perhaps the dryness o: our seasons has kept the seed dormant till now.

As I mite (July 2nd,) the last of my "Dutch bulbs" is_in flower. This is one of the onion family. and is’ handicapped with the name, Aliium ostrowskianum. It has no popularname.
