TIMELY NOTES 0N TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

Silver Fox Fanning

fil

Mr. ‘Donald was greatly ix$~

ested in “Ollie! “white-rlnged" silver foxes. Asked if he thought they would-be very saleable he said that he believed so. and said 1°!‘ one thing they are extremely well furred. Perhaps you will have noticed that foxes with white hind legs or any considerable a- mount of white or even white feel. are usually well furred sil- vers and clear, good color. I have fllwoys remarked that and found it very diflicult indeed to pelt some of these animals when, mis- takenly I believe, the soiona n! the Canadian National Fox Breed- ers Association in their formative rules made these White character- istics a bar to eligibility for regis- tration.

The Provincial Fox Show which concluded yesterday morning was certainly favored by almost ideal weather. With the exception of a few hours rain on Wednesday morning the sky was usually bright and clear and two of the days could be properly classed as ideal for Judging. Of course it is easy t0 forget the past and get enthus- iastic over the present, but really and truly I believe the collection of silver foxes at this year's show was on the whole a. very out- standing one. They llad color, us- ually quite bright clear silver and were _well finished. The impres- siflfl made on visitors was particu- larly gratifying. as I have reason to . know through conversations with quite a. few of them.

A story told me by Mr. Donald brought in a reference to an Is- lander. so here it is. Touring along over a Western Canada road one afternoon last fall, Mr. Don- ald came to a prosperous looking farm, neat buildings and every- thing showing an appearance of good management. He had barely taken in these pleasing sights when he noticed what appeared to be a real good silver black fox running loose around the prem- ises. Stepping on the accelerator he rushed up to the driveway to the house and, almost out of breath. informed a genial looking gentleman who greeted him, that a silver fox was running loose near the entrance. “Oh, that's all right!" said Mr. Calibeck-for it proved to be W. E. Callbeck, for- merly of this Province and a. rel- ative of the Calibeck's of Sum- merside-and putting his fingers to his mouth he emitted a shrill whistle and the next thing they saw was the fox coming tearing up the driveway to greet his mas- teri The Callbeck ranch is io- cated near Calgary and is in an ‘excellent section for raising foxes because of low cost of feed and

As usual there was a tum of the tide in winnings and this year it was Stewart & Lewis, two popular young men from Bummerside, who swept the lion's share of the hon. ors. That their win is a deserving one no one questions, for they have given the breeding of sliver foxes their constant thought anri attention and have left nothing undone to make for success. The writer in common with many him. dreds of other friends and admir- crs, congratulated them on their richly deserved honors.

Hillard Muttart and sons had a magnificent collection on view, and until the latter Part of the judging they were well to the front and certainly have every reason to feel proud of themsel- ves. Other breeders such a5 WB. hifcarthur, J. R. Llockerby, Roy wvoodside, S. R. Johnstone, Ira Carr, Johnstone Bros. and Brent Howatt were big winners.

morning with s. very intelligent farmer, a. man who spent several years at other work in the United States. then came here and pur- chased a. farm and went back to his boyhood job. Something came up about the raising of poultry and he mentioned the way they do it in the United States. The hens are placed on wire bottomed pens twelve or fifteen to a pen 8x15. They have proper nest boxes and food hoppers so that no food is lost. Running diagonally from the right or left hand side of the pen to the bottom under the wire is a. floor which has doors which can be lifted llp at the back and closed. Some sawdust, shavings or chaff is thrown over the floor and that makes it very easy to clean out the floors from time to time. I told him about the wire bottom- ed fox sheds here and the way they were cleaned by raking un- derneath.

right away. Ks a. rule foxes kept in sheds do not develop uuderfur as quickly as those out in the open, and pups would be bettel left until the first of December or even a, little later if color seems to hold.

Now in regard to color, there l.“ no question that color can be kept, provided you do not feed foo heavy or too rich a diet and will ‘take the trouble to keep the pens clean, using plenty" of straw or shavings a5 bedding. It will mean

ure of money, but. it will be worth while and will repay great big div- idends. DO not forget also to see that. plenty of drinking water is available because that is necessary to keep the skin and kidneys functioning.

The October New York Trade Review Just received has this to say about silver fox in 1937: "when the pelting season lsenci- ed and the quantities become known and commence to pour into the worlds markets, no doubt there will be that same uneasy feeling as to whether or not the world demand will be capable of consuming the supply. Last year about 650,000 silver fox skins, it is estimated, were produced. This year the production will probably be somewhere around 750,000 skins. No one can say at present un _what basis silver fox prices will be established, but the usefulness. beauty and popularity of the ar- ticle is assured. It. will be skill- fully advertised and promoted. l’! will be fashionable. It will sell. justifying its description today as one of the most staple articles in the fur trade and rcxll bread and butter for the filnlcrs."

"Silver fox shade on skunk", is the way a New York firm of fur dyers describe their new shade of skunk. The dyeing and tipping gives the skunk fur a beautiful silver briiliancy, and a soft mouse- grey undertone that (luplicatesihr natural undertone fox fur.
