O By milking quickly and thoroughly, a McCormick- Deering steps up milk pro- duction, giving you more milk to sell at today's prices. Stainless steel construction and easy-to- clean surfaces assure cleaner, better milk and a surprisingly low bacteria count. C But a McCormick-Deering goes still further by assur- ing proper treatment of the dairy herd at milking time. Its gentle, massag- ing action and correct, dc- ndable vacuum aid in guarding the health of the erd. The result is more productive cows. More mill: means more cream —— and “extra" dollars - if this cream is a sweet, clcan, high-grade product. Only a separator that skims close, cleans easily and 1a sturdily built can give you that kind of cream. A no! McCormick-Bearing Separator not only meets, but sur- passes, all requirements on these particulars. Whole milk touches only smooth stainless steel-mo rough surfaces to provide footholds for bacteria. The precision-perfect bowl remains in balance under constant use to “close-skirn" those extra ounces of butterfat. Como in and kt ue show how as McCormick-Bearing Cream Soponatorand Milkor con lp you get the nwslfmm your herd.

During her illness she was fre- quently visited by her parish priest Rev. Louis Callaghan.

She leaves to mourn three sons, and one daughter, Tyrell on the homestead, Owen on the adjoining farm, Mary” Mrs. Joseph Duffy, Fort Augustus. James in Roxbury, Mass, also nine grand children.

The funeral took place to St. Patrick's Church, Fort Augustus, May 19th and was largely attended. The Requiem High Mass was cele- brated hy her pastor, Rev. Louis P. Callaghan, D.D., who also per- formed ihe last rites at the grave.

Imports of raw and dressed furl into the United States have in- creased from O68 millions in 1086 to 81M millions in 1048. The lat‘!- est importation was in 1946 when almost $240 million was imported. The curious thing about thsselim- portations is that most of the furs come from countries like Russia and Chins. which are not helpful in any way to the well-being of the United States, while the im- portstlon of their furs is very det- rimental to the farm furs produc- ed and the wild furs taken by the trappers.

The use of poison, which kills many animals that are not found before the fur is-spolled; smoking animals out of their dens. which too often, suf- focates them instead of forcinll them out; destroying dens, which either leaves the animals without suitable places in which to rear their young or drives them out of the locality altogether; trapping too late in spring, which destroys pregnant females and young as well as taking pelts which have become unprime or scarred. These

are some of the more common un- desirable practices.

O O O

Too many improperly handled filrs are received in the raw fur markets. This results from the pelts being carelessly removed. either through lack of knowledge on how to skin the animals prop-

Frank G. Ashbrooke has written a very interesting article entitled "Fur —,.An Important Wildlife Crop." Ii appears in The American Fur and Market Journal for June, These are extracts . . . . “Fur i!‘ perhaps the oldest international

commodity produced by wild an-

imals. It is also an important part

of our agricultural development

and our natural wealth. For more

than 300 "ears the quest for furs

in North America has pushed for-

ward from one side o! the con-

tinent to the other. Untold wealth

has come to peoples and nations

from this great resource and since

the supply has always appeared

to beabundant, little thought has

been given to that day when no:-

ure would show signs of exhaus-

tion. Todsy the United States does

not produce enough furs lo meet

more than half of its own demand.

Twice as many foreign as domes-

tic furs are now consumed in this

country.

I O O

Although i-he stocks of wild fur‘ animals in the United States have

been greatly depicted, they are

still quite large. The more com-

mon fur animals are not in im-

mediate danger of extinction, but

the finer fur animals have been; reduced so low that commercial quantities are negligible and some species are in danger of extinction. Nevertheless. furs are taken in all the States and in the Territory of Alaska. Even in the outskirts of such cities ~ss New York. Chicago and 5t. Louis some fur is taken. The lively demand for all kinds of iur put into the pockets of the American trappers millions of dol-l lars s. year. Until trappim beginr these furs have not coat them a' single effort. Speaking generally.‘ fur animals transform uncultivated

and otherwise useless materials into valuable peltrles without ex- pense or attention on the part of the tenants or landowners. More-

over some of the furry tenants of

the land are useful in destroying farm pests.

O O

When the grain and hay have been harvested, farmers, their sons, and tenants take down their traps and set out to gather unearned in-

crements of fur. This annual raw

iur crop ln the United States is worth from $100,000,000 to 01$,- 000,000. About l6 percent of this amount. or approximately $18,760,- 000 goes to the fur farmers who produce silver foxes and minks in captivity and a part of it is also received by professional trappers. The greater portion 00 to ‘l0 per- cent goes id farmers and farm boys. During the past five or ten years the estimated annual catch of fur animals in the United States has been exceed! l, large. The muskrat take ranges from 16,000,- 000 to 20.000000 pelts; the opos- sum, 2,600.000 ,to 3900000; the skunk, 3,600,003; raccoon, l.0ll),000: mink 700,000 to 800,000, and so on. The data suggest that domestic y: tiuction of raw fur at the pres- ent time is at least 51110000 to 30,000,000 fur animal skins per year. After the domestic crop of raw furs and those imported for 10f! were processed. manufactured ino fur [arments and sold, the turnover was Qlﬁﬂlhdﬁ.

O O O

Ivoryone generally allies that the supply of wild fur has decreas- ed greatly since i010. The shrink- age is ‘imated at h to 60 per- cent durlng the past i0 or 16 years. A review of fur sales recently held in the United Otates shows that the pelts disposed of were brought from all parts of the world to sup- ply the American trade. uiao- tured furs costs much mor now than the same grade oi furs did 1o or l6 years age. All this indic- ateifihst the demand for fur is isr greater than ever before. Evid- ently the time is overdue when steps should be taken to increase and improve the fur luwly. ‘trap- perl. dealers. manufacturers. and

and fat. O O O

The factors thus far considered for increasing and improving the fur crop have all been along the line of conservation. These are sound constuctive measures by which a great and permanent im- provement in wild fur may be ac- wmplished. We know in what re- gion to find the best. foxes, the best muskrat. the best raccoons. and the best of every other species of fur animal. Nearly all of these species have been raised in capt- ivity, and although only two or three have actually been farmed commercially, there is every reason Y0 believe that under favorable conditions all can be produced on farms for distribution on State and Federal lands and on private lands set aside by ggrggmgm Wm, the owners, where the animals will be fully protected and mm which they will spread when the natural limit to their abundance has been reached. The fur farming oi bray-- er and muskrat has been carried Out with great success in waste- land areas of western Canada and there is no reason why these aer- ivlties cannot be extended tremen. dously."

O O O

Frank Ashbrooke is correct 1n what he slates as necessary for the. preservation and increased pro- duction of wild furs but there is no incentive to put capital to work to bring about the desired results. And the reason is that countries like Russia and China are as we have pointed out from time to “me- delusinz Canada and the United States with wild and 515° ranched furs. Our Governments ‘will have to wake up soon or it will be too late and the iur indus- try will be destroyed.
