He plans to mate these up with silvers to develop a new fox, larger than the blue fox and very much on the type of the silver but with s. bluish iridescence. He has, or had, some success with the ven-ture. Prom now on the breeders of phure bred silvers will have to keep eir weather eye coon for kinds of which will be directed- purveyore of "freaks."

Cod liver oil has a tendency to cause t-he rations to be scorbutlc. which may lead to scurvy. In- fantile scurvy among new born pups is very comm r and tards to their development. in some cases leading to fatalities. To counteract infantile scurvy in piips, which may lend ho fatal results, the rations should include food stuffs. in vitamin C, canned tomatoes, lemon Juice, fresh green vegetables. sprouted grain; 1-2 1 ounce of canned tomatoes, or he iuice of one lemon to 5 pregnant females should be fed daily.
