Ted Close has a feature article m the October Black Fox Mag- azine and Modern Mink Breeder entitled: How To Increase Mink Production. These are extracts from it . . . "The. feedings of pure Hlaflllfl B-12 and vitamin E in the form of wheat germ oil over a long period of time has proved beyond any doubt that these vita- mins are the means of increasing mink production. The over all results have been so outstanding that it will he more than econom- iral to use small amounts of the vitamins in the daily rations. The feeding of vitamin B-12 was started on February 1. 1954 on one of the largest ranches in the past. It has been conducted in- iclligcntly and with suitable con- trols so there is ample proof through a period of 21 months that vitamin B-12 in itself. with a good wholesome diet. will defin- itely lncrcase production.

"Not only were mink in- volved. but other fur bearing an- imnls as well. particularly Silver. Blue and White foxes. Since the feeding of vitamin B-12 was not started until February. 1954, . was felt that no concrete results would be proved -in the spring of 1954 as far as increased produc- tion might be concerned.

The vitamin B-12 seemed to be especially effective in group of foxes. All types pro. duced more than the average number of young and use Em; and White foxes averaged better than the Silvers.

There has certainly been no ill effects noted with this remain, She has again this year produced 11 Pulls and raised them all -with- out difficulty.

"The results in 1955 were far better than 1954 and the addition of vitamin E in the form of wheat germ oil beginning on October 10. 1954 could have been the means. in Part. of the marked increase In Production. However. it is strongly felt that the increase year can be traced directly to the daily feeding of vitamin B-12 because the wheat germ oil was not fed continuously. Until recently there has not been very much work done on the effective- ness of vitamin E in the ration. This vitamin is found in its nat- ural state in numerous foods. There has never been much con- cern about I deficiency in any ordinary diet of wholesome foods. However. in these days of highly refined foods. research and act- ual feeding of high levels of vita- min E have proved beyond any doubt that this particular vitamin plays a vital role in the health

and well being of humans and animals."

enizn FOXES

A great deal of interest was taken in the fox exhibits at the Amherst Winter Fair the past week. Some excellent types of silvers. white faces. platinum: and pearl piatinums wero shown by good breeders. George A. Callbeck and Ernest T. Mill were the major prize winners. George had the grand champion standard silver fox. the champion male and reserve champion female. S. U. Messinger of Brldgewater. N. 5. who was I large prize winner at Charlottetown last year, had the reserve grand and the reserve male champion. Tom Neilsen of Port Elgin. N. B. had the cham- pion ' '" '

In the standard platinums adult male class J. R. Jodrey of North-

obtained were so superior during the experimental feeding period of vitamin B-12 that it warranted the daily feeding to all the mink and other fur bearers. Enough was learned so there was nothing to lose and much might be goin- ed.

.''The feeding of vitamin E in the form of wheat germ oil play- ed no part in the experimental lccding tintil October 10, 1954. Beginning on this date it was fed to all mink daily. Even so, the roinparatlve over all results be- twccn 1954 and 1955 are nothing short of spcctncular. The average pcr female in the Sapphire group in 1954 was better than previous year's and this type of mink does not orrliii.'irily produce well even under the best of conditions.

The executive of the Students Union. incidentally, has voted un- animously to support the A.A.A. in their round-robin hockey series with an additional grant of 3500 to be taken from the reserve fund should the present budget of the A.A.A. prove to be inadequate in meeting the expenses involved in the series. This means that the Saints will definitely be on the ice against the other Maritime colleges this coming season. In an effort to help meet these expenses as well as the others that will be in- curred during the unfolding of the remainder of the athletic tabloid. the AAA. is sponsoring a dance this coming Tuesday, November 8. at the Rollaway Club.

Those intricate meshes that con- stitute the college grapevinc have finally been disentangled enough to ascertain that the Saints Rugby Squad will meet the engineers from Nova Scotia Tech today on their

own field: they did not tangle with them last Saturday as was pre- dicted, but ventured over to Wolf- vilie instead and handed the Axe- men their first defeat in four starts with a score of 5-4. The engineers will now have their op- portunity to avenge themselves of the defeat that was presented to them two weeks ago here on the campus field.
