In 1914 she had a. litter of twelve pups and raised them all, and in 1916 had a littcr of fourteen living and one’ dead pup and again she raised the fourteen living pups, making twen- ty-eix in two years." Ihlrlher on in the letter Mr. Moore says: “Good silver foxes are bringing good prices and pay well for raising. My grandson, lcith Moore, has Just received returns for two fox pup pelts sold through the Canadian National, one of which brought $07. and the other $77., s total of $174. for the pair. Those pups were raised in a shady grove on a clay floor part of the time. and. were fed once a day". Mr. Moore's explanation of the shady grove had considerable to do with the price which his grandson received for the two fox pelts. The more I observe the niore I am con- vinced that clear color cannot be obtained unless cover from the ele- ments and from the sun is pro- vided. Of course a good family strain is also necessary as some fox- es will go off color no matter how careful one is with respect to housing conditions.

Gay now- ever had discarded the Pastoral idea for Operatic form in ridicule 0f the Italian opera, which. by the way, it drove off the stage for n $11M; but he retained the vital Nerrwgate lelement. e Pvt (if the Opera can be said to have a plot") is of the film.

Coiley Cibber refused to stage i1, at Drury Lime. but John Rich. in a bolder spirit, accepted it for his little theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields. From the very flist night it was a success, and after 200 years it is still revived at intervals. The Illuztrated London News cf Nny, 25th. 1922. presented its readers with a double-page chromograph c; the heroine, Polly Peachum, above the following note: The revival of John Gay's famous DEW! "The 568love UPbra," at; the Lyric Theatre. I-ianimersmith, has had an extraordinary success, since its production on June 5, 1920, it has already celebrated two anni- versaries and, on Nov. 2 last, its thousandth performance. Its popu- larity shows no sign of decreasing and Mr. Nigel Playfair, the pro- ducer, expects to continue it until the end of next summer's season . . . he has also arranged to prc. ducc its sequel "Polly," nt the Kineswey Theatre on December a0. Gay himself never saw "Polly" staged, as it was forbidden, for political reasons. by the Lord Chamberlain . . . a note in Pope's "Dunclad" says: “The person who acted Polly, till then obscure, be- came all at once the favorite of the town." She was Mlm FJIIIUII who ran away with and afterwards married the Duke of Bolton." The reference t: politics intro- duces’ us to the satire of the Opera. The three principal male charact- ers arc Peachum, Lockit, and Mac- beath: the two former are partners in a receiving warehouse for s.oleii goods, and the latter is the captain of a gang of thieves, and a high- wayman to boot. Peachum keeps the register of the gang and lf a thief is an unprofitable servant or in any way rune counterfto his wishes. he is betrayed to the law, for which the registrar rercives a substantial reward (£40) while the thief is hanged. The public at once saw that Peachum and Lockit were intended to represent Lord Town:- hend and Sir Robert Walpole the Prime Minister. Perhaps "make- up" had something to do with this fwolllltlon. but there are In the play itself topical allusions which could not be msleiken. Walpole, it is raid. was not able to do anything better with the Beggar's Opera London. Huth has been among the biggest factors in the business since I922. Prior to 1920 they were bank- ers. but in the great fur panic of 1920 when the old firm of A. J. Ncsbit 8r Company of London, 1mg- land. cider even than Lampsons, got into financial difficulties, Fred- erick Huth 8s Company took over their assets. We have no particu- iars as to the reason for the change, but no doubt they will be forth- coming in the near future. A friend of mine who noticed the announcement in the Guardian which stated that, a telephone mes- sage had been received by the Prince Edward Island Fur Pool from Frederick I-Iuth 8s Company, London. giving the information of the change, wondered what such a conversation would cost. We ventur- ed the opinion that it would be at least $100. and probably were be- low the mark at that. Transatlan- tic tclephoning is comparatively new but through time will become as common as the cable and of course with more usage price will drop. Mr. Reagh Tinney of the Prince Edward Island Fur Pool. who very kindly gave the informa- tion to the Guardian, stated that the convertation came through as clear as a. bell. All this week the March silver fox auctions have been carrying 0n in London and from the information which has come through, our pop- ular product has stood t-he ordeal very well indeed. Some 80,000 skins are being cfjered and it is expected that about 50 per cent will be sold at prices nearly on a, par with the January sales. The clear full sil- vers are in excellent demand, but off-colored sfvers are not wanted and blacks and dark slivers are neglected. Last week we carried an item stating that full silvers would be popular as a trimming for the black costumes which will be in vogue from now until the King's Coron- ation, and the information was correct. In the U. S. A. also clear fu‘l silvers are beingisnappcd up quickly and prices for that partic- ular species of skin has risen con- siderably. From now on until the lather part of April. litters will be com- ing thick and fast in various ranches. The principal precaution to take is to see tact the females are supplied with enough laxative so that whelping will not be inter- fered with. The greatest 10sec; in pups is due to carelessness in re- Eard to feed. Watch that you are 11°15 Elvin! W0 much bone in your diet as it has a. tendency to cause constipation.

Forbes, writing in the Fur Market Review, iszued by the London Fur Sales, Limited, with reference to general furs auctioned in London during January andFeb- ruary, says: “As a whole the trade has been living from hand to mouth in the matter of fur purchases and stocks in the hands of merchants were unusually low. Consequently a keen demand for all descriptions of the finer furs resulted in advances being recorded all along the line. The one important artic‘e that registered a small decline in com- parlson with the previous season's value was silver fox. The reason Ior this was not far to seek, seeing that this season's offering excetci- ed last year's collection by about 5i per cent. The fact of this declir. is significant because it emphasiz es the importance of supply in 1':- lation to demand. when suppli: were heavy the market weakened and when supplies were short pricl: strengthened". E. E. LaBerce has a front pag: article in the last issue of the Fur Trade Journal of Canada, entitled. “Why Furring Sheds?" In it h’: pretty thoroughly condemns sheds as a means of improving color. Herc are romc extracts. “To-day's cram among fox bres ers is furl-lug sheds. Why? Because such addit- ions to the equipment of a fox farm jsalous women.

We shall not attempt l0 Wm‘ bat the belief that unadulterated sunglare will tinge some pelt-S. bill» we advance the belieI that in every such case a lasting improvement in pelt can be achieved only by selec- t-lve mating. The real remedy is improvement of the stock by selec- tive mating. Consistently followlhfl such a. course the breeder will eventually have pelts that will 110i need fur-ring sheds to produce pro- fit." _ Our suggestion is that instead oi‘ spending money on furring sheds the breeder use the same amount of cash In the purchase of breeding stock that has the coloration he wants. In this way he will D10- duce some real benefits and at no greater cost than his furrlng sheds would involve. The bcst way to introduce im- proved color in your herd is by selecting a pair of really good col- , cred foxes from one strain. It is possible that by buying only a eood male, failure may result duc to the fact that this male may fail to click with your stock By adding a. pair from a good strain the progeny of this pair can be bred into your own stock. results watched and the members that click with your stock can he ussd to gradually raisc the standard of your whole pack. ‘ In the meantime. while your growing vine with large leaves, needs no poles or strings, plenty of it, there is also free cir- cides with that of the foremost fox comes in cold early in the fall and quirernents of puppy foods.
