if we are to believe the weather prophets this is going to be an oarly winter. so foxes should be well- furred up as fur bearing animals are notoriously careful to provide hemsel co with good warm outer grunts when the season requires em.

We heard quite a discussion some years ago as to the influence of climate on fur. One man took tne stand that it was a question oi her- edity. “ii a pair of weli-furred foxes was transplanted from the coldest parts of the Yukon to a climate which vavcraged 20 degrees less frost or even 30 degrees less, given proper fcod they would still wear as good outer covering iur when priming time came the middle or latter part of December as i! they were in their Arctic haunts with the temperature registering 50 degrees below zero."

The writer's opinion is that the cold weather makes a greater differ- ence to the underfur than to the guard iur._ To the eye a fox run- ning around a pen with guard fur well developed, may look ready to pelt the latter part of September,- but ii the operation is carried out it will be found that the "eye was deceived and that the shaking m0- tion contributed by the fox's activ- ity gave the fur an illusionaiy ap- pearance or density which it did not ' . Also that even if the density and length of guard fur‘did not increase some two months later the underfur would have progressed

Cheese And . Butter Output

In every year since 1M5 the Can- adian iactory. cheese output has moved downward, losing ground in

favor o1 butter production. While

cheese production figures for the first six months of i935 are not complete, says the report of the

dairy ituatlon in Canada by the Agricultural Branch of the Domin-

ion Bureau 0f Statistics. some in- dication of what is taking pisee may be determined from the June production in Prince Edward Is- land. New Brunswick. h On- tario and British Columbia. The combined production of cheese in these five provinces amounted to 16,300,165 pounds. as compared with a creamery butter output of 25,- 123,161 pounds. In the_ province of Quebec there was a decline of 14.1 per cent in the i035 June produc- tion of cheese as compared with the same month in 1934, and a re- duction of 14.’! per cent for the first six months cf 1985. compared with the same period of 1934. In Ontario the diversion of milk from cheese factories to creameries still continues, suggesting that a fur- ther reduction in the cheese out- put may be expected in i935. In order to prevent the creation of surplus butter stocks. the Dominion Government has made available a fund of $1,000,000 to be need as a bonus payment to farmers deliver- ing their milk to ch92.) ides. Payment on the basis o! l i-l emts a pound is to be made in August, 1935. covering the July production. These payments will increase the revenue of cheese patrons and be an inducement to deliver milk to the cheese factories instead oi to creameries. It is expected that there will be s reduction in the quantity of creamery butter to be manufactured in the next five months. ‘
