“Good Christian Men. Rejoice!”

In the Editorial Notes. a. short time ago, I read an account of a religious development in Britain that aroused a lively feeling of ut- isfaction. This was "the foﬂnﬂtlof- of a joint standing committee to link efforts of the Anglican. Free. and Roman Catholic Churches in social, economic and civic spheres." That is good news for all who lieve in the brotherhood of man, under God.

The lulhappy quarrels of those professing themselves Christians. were well illustrated in a cartoon a few years ago. The arena of ancient Rome was depicted, and the sled- iafcrs, slaying and being slain, wctc labelled with the names of Christ- ian "denominations." The 5P5"!!- m-s in me grandstands were the heathen nations, derislvely cheering the combatants. The heathen are not cheering now; they themselves have united to destroy Ell m?!" °1 Christianity. it is vital to Cslgrist lans to unite in defense; ll ‘"1 have been done long ago.

It grows in depths rangmg from the level of ordinary high tide nearly to that of mean low title, lu that a considerable glut of its not ht is submerged at gh tide.

It is of no known value as a wildlife food plant.

In the so-calied three-squares (Bcirpin amerfcanus and B. o , thout leafy stems, these tufts are laterul. and in the larger leafy-stemmed saltmarsh bulrush (S. robustus) (pl. 1, B) they are terminal. From tl-lcii fruiting heads can be ground nut in the palm large numbers of shiny brown seeds. The seeds, eaten freefy by waterfowl, are in sOme locall- ties an important food suppy fol them.

TIMELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

§i|ver Fox Farming '

r

The New York Auction Company has postponed its sale of approxi- mately 10,500 silver fcx and 300

platinum_ white-face, ring-ileck and various color phase foxes scheduled for this week until

Thursday and JPriduy, September 3rd and 4th. The lack of activity in the fur market at the present time was the cause of the post- ponement. lt is to hoped by sept/cmber that things vrlll have picked up and actlvieiy be again regained,

Herbert A. Nienlan 6.: Company of Thiensville, Wisconsin, report that 52 per cent of the 13,500 sil. ver fox pelts they offered for sale in New York July 10th and 11th were sold, The average price re- ported was $30.00, not counting skins of low qualities. On the Can- adian Fur Auction Sale of Julie l9th and 20th, 17,297 pelts were of- fered with 59 per ccrltsold at livery good average of $21.55. As George A. Callbeck has pointed out, how- ever, sales of the higher priced pelts were not proportionately as heavy as the lower grade and this accounted somewhat for the small average price.

Tile Canadian lnuskrat cutcli this season is estimated to be 5U per cent less due no doubt tc the fact that many trapper: are engaged in other occupations.

William H, Tictlcnor of the New York Auction Company, addressed a meeting of fur farmers recently and it was his opinion that the new regulations re furs were complicat. ed, but that action was already be- ing taken to clarify them and make them workable. He QXDFCR sci con- fidence in the desire and ability oi’ the Dominion Government agen- cies to unravel existing tangles.

The American National Fur Breeders Association with the ap- proval of the army and navy cfii- cials have designed and manufac- tured an aviators flying suit lined with muskrat skins. The suit coll- sists of five arts -a fur-lined parka with h . furulined trousers all over design and fur mittens and heavy rubber shoes which are worn over the lined Russian boots. The uniform it is claimed, is extremely warm, easily put 0n and taken off and cord is used around the waist and to tighten the parka hood around the face thus eliminating the need of zippers. The Associa- tion is working on other types of fur apparel suitable for the army forces.

The American National Fox Breeders Association have already spent $3,760.00 in their efforts to defeat the application of the Nor; wegian fox breeders for the free entry of their platinum pelts as a new coltcér phase fox into the Unit- ed Sta s. The contention of the American Association and others is that the platinum is just another color phase of silver fox. The case after being heard in New York and reheard in Milwaukee has been returned to New York and will come up before the October tcrnl of the court.

Here is sane good advice tend- ered to the American fox farmers at a. recent meeting. It is applic- nbie to us. We quote: “Every one of the problems we face is bigger than any of us. That is why we are tackling this thing in the tradition- ally American way ing to- gether co-ooeratively and fighting the thing through to a finish, Of course it is not easy and it is gain: be harder, but we have got to stick together. We know it is some- times difficult for human beings to forget and forego differences, but we were never sul-er of anything in life than we are that we either wtlrk together for the common good 0r we shall inevitably share tllc common evil of defeat."

The American Fur and Market Journal has a very good article en- titled, "Timely Hot Weather Tips.’ with particular reference lo the keeping of meat during the hot weather. ‘Ibis is an extract

Of importance during the hot months is the thawing and hand- ling of meat. Frozen blocks usu- ally are thawed out by placing them in the warm feed room for l2 to 24 hours or longer. Probably the most desirable practice is to place the blocks into large pans so that, as the meat thaws the Juices which

Y By. nnilviiirmr

seep from the cakes are preserved, Such meat juices contain valuable nutrients, and if thawing is carried out on a concrete floor, the Juices are likely to go into the drain and much valuable food material is lost. ‘Ihawing will take place quicker if the blocks are sawed into smaller ones. Bacterial action should not be allowed to occur during the thaw- ing process. and although the meat should be thawed, it should still be cold when ready for mixing with other parts of the ration. It is a1. ways best to feed both foxes and minks promptly after the feed is mixed. To permit feeds to stand for hours or hold it over till the next day pennlts bacterial growth and chemical action which may re- sult in severe digestive disturbances because of the toxic products, pro- duced by underslrable bacteria.

It is essential that all meat pro- ducts which are to be frozen are fresh and wholesome. Freezing will not in any way rectify bad meat conditions. Be sure that both your foxes and minks have plenty of ventilation in their kennels during the summer months. Also be sure that they have plenty of water at. nil tunes nnd check the watering pans two or three times a day. See that both your foxes and lninks have adequate shade to help them to combat the heat.

Water for the animals lsseldoma. serious or acute problem during ill€_ winter months. During the spring, the ordinary twice-u-day watering will take care of things. The approach of warm weather, however, requires a lot of vigil- rmce on the part of the fellow who is rcspoilsiblc for keeping water be- fore the animals, especially before the nlillks Minks have a. way of splashing water out of their pans. On a hot day a thirsty mink will dive into a pan and inside of 30 second slosh out every bit of wat~ or that is in the pan. If it is a hot day and no water is brought to Elect pen for the next eight or ten ours. serlOus consequences probably result.

If forces are being fed dry on compressed feed, the water is much mm? llllilbrtnnt than in the case of foxes that are fed on moist feed. Caretakers should be especialy careful to see that the water pans are filled before the foxes are fed, Foxes that have been without wat- er for hours and are then fed on compressed feed, rive been found dead. If the water pans are not filled until after feeding compress- ed feed, the animals engorge themselves and die of acute in- digestion."

The following article by Freder. rick Bell, taken from The Mane. tary 'I‘ilncs, will be of interest to fox ranchers, . . . ."Canadian furs are among the articles specified in Mr. llsiey's new budget as being liable to an increased tax imposi- llﬂll- This amounts to 25 per cent in comparison with the 01d tax of 12 pcr cent, an increase of 13 per NHL. The effect of this 0n the ulti- mate consumer will, say caundlan fllrrlqrs. be so slight that it should occasion little concern, Th1} pﬂlnt is one of considerable importance when it ls realized that at the present time, though the Dominion is experiencing a decided shortage 0f W001, there is on the other llllllll B iZ°0d SllDPly of available Canadian furs.
