,through some disease for which the owners or keepers aft unable to account. The cause may be im- proper feeding cr it may be lsck of proper sanitation, or other factors which are always creeping up uri- exectedly in the breeding and raisuig of fur bearing snimals.

I want to desi briefly this week

with one disease, which is undoubt- edly disirning large numbers of fox- es each season. I-t is s d'ead disease when once it has secured s foot- hold in a isncn. Fortunately it is not contagious, md government ex- perimental fox stations have devis- ed remedies for iw control. The diseased refer to il,

SCU RVY

It is fairly ssfs to say that hardly

anyone connected with the' breed- ing of foxes ever thought of con- necting scurvy with any desths that may have occured in his own or in neighboring ranches. But the e is now no doubt that scurvy has been making ravages for ii number of years, and is probably one of the most prominent coiiditionii that has been harassing the fox industry, being the csule of s large percen- tsge of loses.

CAUSE OF SCURVY IN

FOXES

xi may be uid at the outset that

scurvy in foxes is undoubtedly brought about entirely by improper feeding, although in such cases im- prpoer cure and management. al- ways aggravate such conditions and mobs them more intense. Further- more breeders who feed properly and keep their ranches in a sani- tary condition need have but little fear that scurvy will visit their snimsls. scurvy is not infectious. nor contagious, and if it is preval- ent on a ranch it can promptly be overcome by simple remedies.

The remedy for entirely counter-

aoting scurvy is very simple-just by feeding of fresh vegetabws, or- ange juice.`lemon _iuice and freshly killed meat, the most favorable re- lults being obtained with fresh vegetables end the orange juice; and in most eases it only takes it fvw dl!! $0 Rt back the n0.ms.l condition. It has been absolutely demon-

strlitd tlilt scurvy results from the absence fo Vitamn C, the sntisoor- butic element, in the daily rations, and therefore we find that scurvy appears to be a great scourge and a. ravage to the silver fox in captiv- ity. The symptoms cf scurvy in sil- ver foixu are first shown by a pe- ouliar psllor of the skin, which may VNKNBJ until the condition known as "white nose" will be observed. This is followed by a peculiar sw_el- ling of the extremities, more partl- cularly the tsil which becomes dry und scaly. The teeth become loose and s bluish hyperemis can read- ily be seen forming a bluish band along the gums. Genereiiy this is accompanied by chronic constipa- tion and by internal he-mcrrbages.

PUPS SUFFER. M081'

While scurvy ummm adult- foxes

leads to many fatalities, also to an impoverished oonditim with result- ing poor fur qualities, its ravages are probably not so greet ss oe- curs with infantile scurvy amongst fox pups.

not made e proper gain during the Pall and has been fed during the gestation period on scorbutic rations,

While some breeders maintain

that fox dens are so constructed that in many ways they an detri- mental to the normal development of the pups, yet it is a. recognised fact that pups born during the cold weather of March and APTU DN' gross more favorably than those born during the warmer months of May and June.

On one ranch where scurvy had

developed and where the rations were very similar to those fed on average ranches, it was noted that the females, more especially, be- gan to show signs of scurvy. The molar teeth became loose. the gums swollen and showing a bluish hyp- eremia.
