Two days afterwards he opened up the cover oi’ the don and iha kit- ten was nursing the fox foster moi/her as happy as could be.

Oneof the most succcssful fox breeders in the vicinity of, Char- lottetown. if not in the entire pm- Pvlncefithis 335w“. is Lt-Colonol F. I. Andrew. M. M, and he well de- serves that success. Colonel Fred enlisted as a private in the curly spring of 1915 at ihc ago of eigh- tmn. lit was not very long before he saw service on thc Western Front; and he continued right through until the end of the war.

s m the meantime he had been pro-

Inoted to commissioned rank and decorated with tho M.M.. for brav- cry. After ihc war he took up fox manning on his own account, and

notwithstanding a great many dif-

lficultigs has steadily forged ahead. Three years ago he assumed com- mend of the P. E. I. Light Home and was also made an Aide dc (him; to His Excellency the Gov-

ernor General

‘Now for his fox news. Fred has ‘IQ females in his ranch. Fifiy~twc litter: counted have 260 living pups.

' ‘Ilhero is om little of ten, one of

eight and fivc cf seven. Three sis- ters, pups of 1034, have 22 pups. The‘ litter of ten and the litter of eight

in 1904. They were out of a lit-

His feeding system is much the same as outlined by us some time ago except that he r1085 not use anymilk or milk powder in the feed given tn tbepreluont female. Females that have litters are fed milk in the mornings with cereals of course. and meat in the evenings.

Colonel Andrew reports a rather unusual occurrence this year. It was his first experience of the kind. A male that had been used Poly- gamcusly quite a lot, was left with the last female he mated. A couple or days after the pups were born he noticed him running out of the house with a pup in his mouth and on examination found other dead ones in the house. He had always previously taken away polygam- ous uncles. This may be useful in- formation to other ranchers who will probably find it the wise thing to keep polygamous males by them- selves.

Ernest Coffin. grocer of Ulnar- lottciown, is receiving the congrat- ulations of many friends on hav- ing the highest priced pelt or the entire london March seles-£33. It was sold through the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders Asso- ciation by Arming and Cobb.

Major Robertson who saw the pelt says that it was a beautiful clear pale silver, or good ewe won- derful texture and had a wealth of fur.

Stewart MacEachern of Mount Stewart, was in town Tuesday and Wednesday. He reports very good success this season so for and hopes to l-nwe the usual good turn- out. Yeara ago we made an annu- al pilgrimage to Stewart’; ranch and purchased breeding stock fom him. Stewart had the faculty of raising the lax-gut pups that we found in our travels. We remember particularly one pale silver male that we bought from him that ai-

terwards won first prize as en adult

at the Royal Winter Fair. To- ronto.

lnwellwflancock writes us that the sun filo‘llb"x"ldreederr‘fllub' meetings have been discontinued as the roads are not good and quite a. number of the members wen from outlying rural sections. They

will be resumed again when the

roads open. Members will be noti- fied through the press. '

Roy Hayes, Tyne Valley, is ca.l- ling on fox ranchers as rellrescnta- tive of Royal Fox Food and Cubes. His father, Clifford Hives. l5 Iii-id up from tho effects of an attack of flu which he contracted a few

AVCEKS ago. Roy is a popular young

man and we feel confident he will capabiy fill his Dad's shoes until the latter becomes well enough to take up his salesmanship duties.

Canadian Bllver Yiox Breeders‘ As- sociatlon, is strongly advising mem- bers m grow large foxes. To do so it will be necessary to feed well from thc word GO. It is our ex- perience with foxes that if they have not attllnedalzlfl .111 the first few months, they very seldom do so later on. We are therefore going to keep the feed box well filled up this season.

. .we had the pleasure 0f a. short

conversation over the phone yester- day morning with Mr. Brentonlfllark

vicinity of Summer-side. Mi‘. Clark has 39 litters with l9'7 pups, a. very wonderful production. Amcnq them are five litters of seven and seven litters ‘of‘sl‘x. As his stock is

Vlzigh-class he can confidently look

forward to a very successful year.

To Herbert Platte. Charlottetown. goes the honor, we think, of large production from a single female over q. number of years. In seven years this vixen has had fifty pups consisting of two litters of six, two litters o1 seven and three litters of eight. Can you trot our. a. record to that, boys?
