The writer had a short talk with T. Gordon Ives a couple of morn- ings ago and found that Gordon has added mink to his fur farm- ing activities. The opportunity of securing good stock came when Raoul Reymond decided to give up ranching. Gordon bought his breed- ers and since then has bought George Warren's, Howlan, stock These consisted of a number of different mutations selected with considerable care by Mr. Warren from good ranchers. Gordon, you will remember, has been making a success of breeding pearl platinum foxes and their mutation, glaciers He has practically disregarded oth- er types and this season is carry lug some 60 females. l-le has been fortunate in developing a line 0' good producers and while he did not say so we are of the opiriioi- that he will have a turnout of over three to the female. The first litter looked at was an eight and if there are half a dozen more of that type the figure three for an aver- age can be enlarged. At recent live and pelt shows the Ives Pearls have shown up remarkably well.

By the way, delving back Into mommy's recesses, our second ven- ture in live foxes was a partner ship ,ln the purchase of two pairs of pups from Gordon to be deliv_- cred in September, 1913. I think the figure was $8,000. a pair and we paid 10 per cent deposit. We later sold them to a company and took delivery the first of Septem- ber, paying the $16,000 for them, less the $1,600. deposit. 5o you see Gordon has been a long time in fur farming. Then in addition to fox farming he was engaged in business in Montague where ins activities included a store and connection with the race track. etc. Now his principal business is the Studebaker Agency and gai- age.

In the afternoon of the same day we met Gordon we had a chat with William E. Agnew who la Trade Commissioner tn New- foundland. Billy has a very keen recollection of the hectic days when sliver Fox was king. He remem- bers when Jim Tuplin took over his father's holdings at Black Banks and hundreds of incidents connect ed with the pioneers. One day Rob- er Ouiton. who was Charles Dal~ ton's partner. heard that Mr. Ag- new had successfully treated a number of fox pups for worms "Had I known that was the rea- son we were losing so many fox pups some years ago 1 could have bought out this town." said Mr. Oulton.

B. I. Rayner claims that he was the first man to dose foxes for worms and said the idea occurred to him when his wife was giving the children ivorm medicine. B. I gave the young fox pups some or it too and they passed worms. Af- ter that it became regular prac tlce with the ranchers to dose for worms and Dr. Ffrerich, who is now located in Vancouver, perfected a worm capsule that has been used ever since and is now ordered in immense quantities by Fromm Bros, end other large breeders and ia used, at course, by practic- ally all ranchers throughout Oa- nada.

Our first contact with Billy was at the Montreal fox show in 1920 when we purchased one of his prize winners of Oulton ancestry. It was certainly a magnificent for and we would like to have such a one today, for although it waa a dark sliver it had most valuable blood lines and as we mentioned in these notes some time a80- I001 dark necks are in big demand in Europe and even quarter slivers are having some vogue.

Mr. Agnewb occupation as Trade u- missioner has led him to en- deavor to secure whale meat from Newfoundland parties and some months ago he had a consignment of two tons brought here, which

A?!- other two tons is expected in a few days and that will carry the Doctor's experiments through un- til peltlng time. Only a portion of the foxes at the farm are belivg fed the whale meat. Billy haues to be able to land it here if a cold storage ahtp can be obtained. a: a price of around lour to five cents per pound, which will make it much cheaper than horse meat.

We had a postcard from Omar Brager-Larsen from Oslo, Norway, a few days sgo. A few weeks pre- viously we 'had one from ‘Peru. S. America. Mr. Larsen certainly docs get around. making contacts all the time favorable to Norwegian foxes. Recently shipments of Nor- wegian blues which they have been sending in quantities to New York have not been selling well.

Dr. C. K. Gunn, Superintendent Experimental Fox Ranch. Sum- merside, writes us as follows: "l am enclosing an article on the treatment of foxes for earmlte in- fcstation in the spring season. This ls"a very important time to inspect the vlxens and pups for carmiws. Treatment early in the season prc vents the vixens becoming heavily infested with earmites with the advent of warmer weather, and with the resulting bad effects that frequently follow as a consequence of heavy infestation with this fox parasite." Below is Dr. Gunirs ar- ticle . . .

EARMIITE DISEASE

Check vixens and pups for car- mltes at the first treament of the young fox pups for ascarld worms. Although earmite disease of t; self is rarely a fatal disease, i‘ plays an im-portant role in retard- lng the-growth of fox pups and causes a general unthrifty COHLE- tlon among adult animals, predis- posing thelr auditory passages to secondary infection, and generally lowering the resistance of foxes to more serious virus diseases.

Earmlte disease is caused by a mange mite Otodectes cyiionls, which closely resembles the true body mange mite in appearance. Its presence can be readily detect- ed by microscopic examination oi scrapings from the ears of infectcc foxes or by general inspection of the ear cavity when infestation with the mite is severe. Occasioii- ally when the infestation is heavy. damage may be done to the middle ear and such an animal may hold its head on one side and tum in rircles or shake its head and at- tempt to scratch its ears.

Regular inspection of all ranch foxes should be made twice an- nually, in June and Decembe , for earmites and fleas, arid more fre- quently in individual foxes where heavy infestation has been found.

The presence of mites in the ex- ternal ear cavity gives rise to aii irritation. This causes over-scare tlon of the ear wax which theii combines with the exuded scrum from the injured tissues to form thick crusts and scales. Just be- fore treatment the latter should be carefully removed by means of blunt forceps in order to allow ear- mitA lotion to get at the mites, which live under these scales. Some ranchers find softening the scales by previously washing them with csatile soap and peroxide to be helpful. The medicine should be gently but thoroughly rubbed ln.o all the tissues of the ear cavity with the fingers or by means o; s. cotton swab. This treatment should be repeated in ‘l days’ time to insure killing any young mites which have escaped the first ap- plication and before they have had time to reach the adult state and begin to lay eggs.

An earmlte lotion composed of a mixture of l part sublimed lo- dine, 1 part of Potassium Iodide, l part Water, mixed with 25 parts of glycerine, has been found quite effective in the control of earmltcs at the Dominion Experimental Fox Ranch.

If Glycerlne is unobtalnable. a lotion of 1 part carbon tetrachlor- ide and s parts cotton seed oll may also be used with good effect. Dr. C. K. Gunn,

"good-Wight." or (creature). An- other, but less-used name is the "Ring-tailed Marlin," a reference to the two colors 0i the bird's tail. The only mention of this bird is iii the i916 Teacherb Bulletin. wherein it was stated that a God- wit was taken at Alberton, but no date or particulars were given. Godivits nest in the region round Hudson Bay. and taking off from Labrador straight down the Atlan- tic flyway. make no stop till they reach South America. Stragglers from the edge of the flight. may land at intermediate points, due to weakness or other physical causes. and perhaps this was ‘lie case with the Alberton specimen.

THE WORLD TODAY (3) (Dean Inge's reminiscences con tinued). As to labor questions, claims are constantly advanced, arc enforced by blackmail, for higher wages and shorter hours. These de- nlands come at a time when the country cannot exist without for- eign trade, and while all comperi tors give better ‘value for their wages than our (British) Wago- carners. Another thing: an over populated country which cannot feed itself, can never be a working man's paradise!

Long ago a shrewd German ob- server, after a. visit to England, wrote: “Nobody can fall to be struck by the utter recklessness and shallowness of English society; an increasing objection to labor i: noticeable right through the Brit- ish nation." Things are woise now, says the Dean; "the business of life ls resented as drudgery." (To 1 lesser extent. perhaps, the Dean's conclusions apply to all manufac- turlng nations. Men who tend a machine, or wield a pick, all day, find little joy in the occupatioi and are scarce alive at the end of the day's toil. To their fatigue is added the knowledge that, away out of their reach, huge profits arc made by men who never soil their hands. I have heard these wllers declare that their children should never work as hard as they them- selves worked. Hearing this the children got the idea that manual work is drudgery, an idea that grew with the years. Most factory workers in Newcastle on Tyne edu- cated their children to be office workers, of which there was soou such a surplus that salaries fell to absurd figures.)

There seems, says Dean lnge. to be a campaign not only against the abuse of competition but a- gainst competition itself .On this subject, he recalls Tacltuss ac- count af a speech made by the Emperor ‘Tiberius: “Industry will languish, idleness will be encour- aged, if no one has anything ‘w hope or to fear from himself. Ev erybody will indolently expect help from others, useless to themselves and a burden to the State."

In almost all productive labor the strongest inducements to WOXK are hope and fear. If these are re- moved the work will not be done or it will be done badly. If hope is removed, if there are no rewards for skill, enterprise, industry and thrift, will- not fear. iii some shape, have to be reintroduced?

This prospect has alarmed many political thinkers. Tn the flourish ing day of Greece. Plato disliked democracy because he thought it paved the way for tyranny, i. e.. dictatorship. Von Sybel. a German publicist, predicted that universal suffrage would bring popular gov- ernment to an end. Herbert Spen- cer, ln an oft quoted sentence. said, “Socialism will mean slavery, and the slavery will not be a uiiid one." Hayelfs book. "The Road co Serfdom," has carried conviction w many readers. (Even in Canada, a comparatively young and vigorous country. there are political tenden- cies that cannot be viewed witn- out alarm.) However, Dean Inge remarks, we must not forget that many of the restrictions under which we (in Britain) now chafe are the direct consequences of the war. As an offset to the dire bre- dictions of Plato et al., the Dear: points out that there is a long tradition of liberty. and a strong resentment at governmental inter- erence, in all classes of our people. Democracy rests on unity of pub- llc spirit, upon a common convic- tlon of how life ought to be livea. butdt is almost hel less against a powerful anti-socl organiza- tion. "Such an organization exists in the trade unioria, which. have been virtually put above the law and allowed to hold the nation tn ransom." A Minister of the Crown has lately said that other sections of the community do not matter "a tlnker's cuss." We may remem- ber the laet words of Emperor Septlmus Severus to his son. he lay dying at York: "Satisfy tne soldiers: the rest‘ do not matter.’

inlon. he says is that England can- ‘not hope to recover her foreign trade for the reasons already stat- ed. She will perforce return to her prc-industrial state with a much smaller population living mainly on the land. This, he thinks. would make for happier times. Reduction of the population by birth-control would be a very slow process, so emigration must be encouraged; yet tlfere is this flaw -those who wish to emigrate may well be those we do not wish tn lose. Ho is convinced however. that it Will be impossible for Britain, in a time of contracting economy, to support her present-(largei popu- lation, which came into existence under conditions which have pass- ed avray. (Continued next week.)

Browsing in the Dictionary The local pronunciation of “su- prcmacy" appears ‘to be suc- PREElif-acy. Is that an American- ism or just a plain mistake? In a dictionary which professes to h the “King's English." the pronun- ciation is glveii as “sue-PRElli-acy." It. follows the rule of extreme and extremity (ex-TltEltl-ity.) Paronyms you will remember. are words of the same sound but ivill different spellings and mean- ings. All puns are therefore paro- nyms. Puns are said to be the low- est form of wit, but I think it was Thomas Hood (1799-1845) who proceeded to Instruct his country- men by a clever poem, full of bl- lingual paronyms. It began

"Never go to France

"Theycall their mother mares. And all their daughters fillies!"

Changing the subject, ea the dic- tionary often does, let us talk oi rhumbs. First note that the pro- nunciation is "rums," and then that the meaning is merely com pass-points, of which there are 32. The angular distance between any two rhumbs is therefore ll degrees 15 minutes. as you will find by dividing the 360 degrem of the complete circle by 32. Here is the list of rhumbs-
