The collection of 11.823 full silvers waa described as very ordinary and were boillht ll? unchanged price levels, mostly for lure trimming trade. The top price was $32; 36 per cent of the 240 three-quarter silvers were sold, the top price being $15. The white marked collection or 2,927 pelte we: 4e per cent sold with a top price of $33,

The Hudson's Bay Company nvill offer 30.000 :llver: ln London, September 22nd. Anning. Chad- wick at Kiever. Ltd. will offer be- tween 8.000 and 10,000 sliver foxes. These pelts are almost entirely of Norwegian origin.

The Canadian Fur Auction Bales Company of Montreal P.Q., will . hold their sale qt sliver foxes Wednesday, 'I‘loul'ldav and Friday. September 10th to 12th. 0n Wed- nesday the-re will be 2.500 platinum fox. 2.300 white marked fox and 5.300 silver fox. On Thursday 2.500 platinum fort, 2.300 white marked | fox and 5,300 sliver fox. On Friday ‘the same quantities of the above ‘ will be offered. The reception which 1 the above pelts get will he a pretty good indication or the popularity of silver fo-x and other types for fall. trade.

As we mentioned some time ago trading in furs is largely at the barter stage in Germany. In Ger-

lenan fur farming magazines ads

'1 |appear offering a nearly new bi-

cycle for a full silver fcx peit. An- other od wants silver fox pelts for some yards of Wool fabric. The owner or a truck and scene crea- sote advertises he wants platinum. silver and blue foxes. As a matter of fact fox farming or mink farm- ing for that matter, has slmcst gone under due to the difficulty of getting anything in the shape of protein to feed to the animals.

This kind of a diet when properly constituted as to the types of ma- terial added and as to their pro- per freshness and condition should

give rapid and rugged growth wlth- ,

out. a great deposition of fat which tends to slow down growth at less than the anticipated else. Proper

covers many things. First it means the constant almost continuous feeding of the kits for the first week after they are weaned; it means the grinding of such feed through a fine plate so that kits can handle it easily; it means the care that you take in keeping feeding utensils clean and the keep- ing of fresh water in front of them at frequent intervals.

A_conslderable scare was thrown into fox ranchers and mink ranch- er: by the announcement of the British Government that controls were being est up barring imports of furs into the Old Country- It struck us at the time as a very un- wise move because London has been

ccntage of Canadian and American furs to other countries and it did not seem possible that this profit- able" trade would be discontinued. Now we learn that as usual there is a way of getting around the order so that London can continue as a clearing house as shown bv the following ~

London. Sept. 1 — An industry proposal aimed broadly at insur-

a special fur trade committee to» day and is expected b0 b¢ Plflcei before the Board of Trade tomor- row. The trade has been cognizant that the government would reject any strggestioti that does not pro- vide for controls barring imports from entering the domestic ma.- ket, and although details of the proposal have been surrounded b)’ secrecy. it is believed the draft to be submitted to the Board ll Trade will recommend practical elimination of domestic traders from the market. One p055lbl1lLy is that the auction houses may act as virtual bonded warehouses for im- ported goods, pending reexport. Ev- ery effort is being made to assure a continuance of auctions.

H. W. Chadwick, of Anning, Chadwick d; Kiver_ Ltd. head of the committee drafting the indus- try proposal, said today "there is every hope auctions will continue as free as they are today."

The Board of Trade order which revoked open general licenses last week excluded goat, kid, call, sheep and lambskin: which were covered by individual licenses, but a subse- quent order also revoked licenses to

month old strike against the sil- ver fc/x breeders and manufactur- ers. The statement issued by the International Fur and Leather Workers Union savsrmlhe term- ‘lnatlon of thl: strike and _the re- sumption c-f normal relations be- tween the Union and Fromm Bros. will undoubtedly benefit the rntire industry end particularly the sil- ver fox branch cd the industry and l fur trirrunings. Mr. Fromm. we un- I

derstand, also intends to engage in extensive production of mink grunents as well as other fur garments. We believe that this will serve to increase employment and promote the welfare of our indus- try as s. whc-Ie.’

Concern is expressfd here that if domestic buyers are eliminated from auctions Americans may, through private agreements. gain control of prices.

The market continues upset. pending a definite government an- nouncement concerning the trades future. Little trading is reported but rumors have some merchants marking up stacks from 10 to S5 per cent, in anticipation of a large local demand for available stocks, should further buying of imports be banned.

It is believed here that the util- ity fur program will continue, but in some modified form, with apoc- sum and other "dollar furs" being eliminated.

There is a native nettle. Urtlca

Paper, or at any rate newsprint, must be getting scarce in England. A well-known newspaper has in- timated that its six pages will be reduced to five on alternate weeks until further notice. The scarcity of paper is reflected also in the cur- tailed production of new books. The fact ls that we all have been ex- tremely wasteful with this particu- ilar commodity.

On this Island we are wasteful of three materials: paper. glass, and

sheet iron in the farm of cans. In ‘

most homes the "daily papers" are

looked on as indispensable, and at-

ieast one farm magazine is aub- scribed for. In the course of the year this gives a lot of paper to be burnt! I recall the case of a farm- er who complained that he had an [incinerator to deal with circulars and papers received! All waste paper should be collected and re- pulped for processing into cartons, bro\vn wrapping-paper, and so on. lt is quite possible that a method of de-inking waste paper will be perfected by chemists. Collections of this waste material should take

land the grade is lower. 1n other areas yields are variable but ,slight better than anticipated, the grade, however. will be low. Harvest labor is in short sup- ply in Southern Manitoba. but in other areas the number of men seems to be sufficient to meet the ' demands. l The recent rains have improved the feed situation in the dry areas of Basketchetvan and Al- berta, according to the weekly crop report of the Department of Agriculture of the Canadian Na- tional Railways.

n» small du& gets its name from the "puffled" feathers on its cheeks. lt has many popular names. among them "Spirit Duck" from its sudden disappearance un- der water where it can stay long- I er than other ducks. In autumn ' the birds are so fat that they have acquired the name of “Butterball:." Like the Wood Duck. the Buffle-, heed nests in hollow tram. a habit i that necessarily keeps down their; numbers. for auitabla trees are few. l Howevc, they ‘have been known‘ to occupy holes made by flickertnl and this gives an idea of the size of the female duck.

My good friend, Mr. Colin Hig- gins of Oyeterbed Bridge, has lent | me a moat interesting book on the above subjects. It was written by Robert Bain, City Librerien,| Glasgow, Scotland, and published ' by Collins at Co., of the same place. l

A clan was a body of highlancl- l ers. descended from a common an- . cantor and united under a single chief: thus the ciansmen were all blood relations. Subordinate to‘ these were the septa of “hrokenl men"—groupa o1- individuals from other clans -who joined forces with the clan of their choice. Thus it came about that a clan might have septs of difforent surnames. For example the clan Graham gave protection tn the septa Allardice, I Macgrime, Mentelth_ Monteith. and ‘ Macrllvernack; and all these would "follow their chief to the field." l

The history of Scotland ia a long record of deadly feuds between the I clans. To prevent confusion be- tween the forces engaged. it be- came n cessary to have some mark of diet notion. Possibly the badge came first, the Grahams and their septa ware a sprig of laurel; the MecCallums wore a eprlg of Moun- tain Ash, and so on. On the clan:- man's target or ahleld he display- ed a picture called a crest. The Grahame‘ creat was an eagle with its wings spread, or elae praying on a stark. The Ross crest was "a hand holding a wreath of laurel, proper": that is. in their national color. Moat of the clana had their own Gaelic “war cry" and many of them had their own particular pipe-music, usually in the form of a march.

But the crowning glory of the Highlands was hla plaid and kill. of the clan tartan. Tartan may be defined as woollen cloth with var- lous colored checks, each scottieh clan having its awn distinctive pat- tern. Here is where Robert Bath's little book is most useful: it gives (on a rough calculation) 122 full- page illustrations ‘of tartan: in color, from "Armstrong" to "Wal- lace." A short history of the clan i: given on the page facing its tartan

leddoa all this, there ia a con- siderable vocabulary of Gaelic worda e: they apply to place- nemea. My conclusion la, that no "kindly loot" who retains any nntirnant for the lead of hi: fore- fathers. can afford to be without
