We have received No. 1, Vol. l nf the Scandinavian Fur dated November, 1945. It is in English and is printed in Sweden. It. is be- ing sent to fur auction companies, furriors and others. interested in furs in Canada, tho Unitcd- States and Great "ilain. It gives a‘ lot of particulars regarding' production in the Scandinavian countrlcs nnil shows that they are very wide a- wake and taking a great interest in fur farming with the idea of developing it as extensively as they did in pre-wai- years. In a-rcrcntly puhtislicd annual Friwfi 051110 Swedish Flu" Farm- ers’ ASSOCIHUUII which appears in the above publication‘ the advis- ai-y_ veterinary surgeon states that 111F111]! the year the health amc-no, thc fox animal population has been comparatively good. , Thc heaviest direct losses have bcen mused by food poisoning in a number of_ mink farms. The question of the wide spread sgck. ness among platinum cubs ,:ind whltc foxes has been carefullv in- vcstigated but these serious prob- lems have not yet been satisfact- orily solved. There are still many cases of B-vltaminosis. Fur defects have been prevalent during the season and an unusual amount of fur biting has been reported a- mong the foxes. The result of the breeding season this year was somewhat below the average and the death rate of cubs was rather high. For the most part thecause of death among the cubs was anemia and amongst the adult foxes debiiity accompanied by ul- cerated paws. New fur farms established in Fliiland...Thcrc are many new farms especially mink farms at present springing up in Finland. h particular the fis ermen in the rostal districts in East Bathnia have started mink breeding on a very large scale. This year's crop amounts to about 25,000 pclts. Ti re is every indication that th autumn of 1046 Finish skin production will be as large as it was in the years before the war. It may he mentioned that in I939 tho production of farm skins was about 60.000. Several mink caiastrophics oc- curred in Scandinavia durint the lummei‘. one of the heaviest losses was suffered by a fill‘ farmer in the southwest or Sweden who lost almost. his cntirc mink stock-a- bout 1.300 animals. The vaiuc of thn animals lost i: estimated 1t 100,000 Swedish crowns. The catastrophies were mostly caused by food poisoning. A successful English experiment has been conducted with the ob- ject oi‘ causing thc growth of‘ hair after potting. It is a known fact that when death is entered into thc central organs of a human or an animal body the hair keeps on rowing until thc supply of nour- shment to the roots has ceased. At an English rescarph institute remarkable results havc been ‘a- chieved on the basis of these on- servatlons. A number of sheep were killed and stripped and out of the skins a ribbon several yards in length was sewn. At_iix- ed intervals this ribbon was 2W6" nourishment by bcingslowly and continually immersed in‘ a liquid. thc chemical composition of\vliich ll similar to tlic one deliverc-i _by flu-n blood of thc living organisim to promote the growth of the hair- Lalcr on these shecp skins turned out to be considerably l'lCl’iF‘l‘ than thosr- of thc living sheep.

Two days before Chr st- mas the nited _Mink Breeders" Association offering of mink was! sold by the New York, Auctionl Company of New York and prices‘ soared beyond expectationl, roach- ing an all time record of $58.00. for several lots of Yukon malesq This shattered a nine year record.‘ Morris Cantor, President of the auction company, said, however, that better breeding technique, had improved mink qualities con-- siderable. Of the approximatelyi 80, skins 96% wal sold. ‘ Following the excitment during the morning session a small, poor offering of approximately 1,000 silver fox including some mutat- ions were put on the block and were 80% sold. Buyers stated that price: were firm within guar- anteed levels and the company rc- ported a 25% advance over its September sale. Top price for platinums was $130.00 and top price for standards $8.00. Manu- facturers id most of the buying on both k and slivers. Note: Top price at the Montreal auction the week previously for platinums was $135.00. Top price for stand- ards was $70,000.

Inter- viewed recently he said it might not be more than a matter of weeks before the French fu‘: trade will be able to enter the internat- ional market. At present practic- ally the only fur being used is domestic rabbit plus domestic squirrels. stone marten and black fitch. Prices for these furs are still very high, he says, and he he- licves that before very long the - French will take on the Iona-hair- ed furs that are neglected in this country following Englands ex- ample. Note: That will be the best kind of news for us as silver fox is tops among the tom-haired furs. Short haired furs as repre- sented by mink have bad the limelight now for about tVx-c years. It is time they took a hack scat. Here's cheers to the French if they can bring this much-to-bc- desired happening about.

(in Llchens are so common and ap- parently so insignificant. that they are raielv given more than a passiii glance. Yet they have a "distln and important place in the economy of nature. I recall the immense heaps of scoria which disfigured the North ‘of England. in the vicinity of the iron furn- aces. For a couple of years or so, the heaps would lie stark. black, and ugly. The rain and the snow got in their work, wash- ing deleterious chemicals from the crude mass. till, at last, it was fitted foi- the suppoit of plant life. Now, unnoticed and almost unknown, the lichens began the good work, encrusting the slag with sombre tints of brown, grey, and’ sometimes yellow. Year after year they flourished, died, and de- camped, till at last they had form- cd a sparse sol) in which grasses and higher plants might get a foothold. This process goes on also in the Alps and in other high mountain ranges the world over. wherever the igneous rocks come to the surface. On P. E. Island one finds tracts of "barrens" cov- cred with the hardy “Reindeer Moss". a greyish green shrubby lichen which is building up tlic soil by nature's slow but inesist- ible method. The greatest explosion in mod- ern times took place in 188i, when a violent eruption of a volcano on thc island of Krakatoa, cover- ed the Whole island with ashes and pumice stone in a layer from 3 to 240 feet thick. All vegetation was scorched or buried, and. noth- ing llvlng survived. Three years later. Dr. Treub, Director of the Botanical Garden. Java, visited Krakatoa and found it covered with ve station right u to the top of he volcano. T e great majority of the plants consisted of ferns. but Dr. Treub noted that these were not; the first living things that grew on the ashes. There had been a thin layer of lichens that had softened the surface and made it capable of retaining water, thus preparing the way for the higher plants. We cannot encaipe the conclusion that the lichens are more inyportant than we supposed. The lichen mentioned by Mr. F. I-I. MacArthur as “Spanish Moss”. is known to science as Usnca trlchoidea. It clothes old trees and fence-rails with a shaggy, droop- ing mat of long “hair". greenish gray color. These long lax fibrils, circular in section, may be regarded as secondary branches. The apothecia tor sDOre-bearlng structures) are small pale flesh- colnred discs, bearing a few fibrils on their margin. Usnea barbata the Bearded Lichen, is very closely related to Canada according to the survty. Western ranchers have bought improvement stock freely during the past three or four years and the resuts of this are beginning to show."

Unlike silvcr fox thc mink farm- er has notbeén able to duplicate the quality of the wild mink. Alexander Wciiilg of New Ytork. who L; an authority states: ‘We can sell all the wild mink coats at present high levels, although buy- ers complain about the high uric‘ es. For that. reason we have hcen buying wild mink skins more neavllv than last year The fresh- ness and sheen of these wild mink coats makes them doubly attract- ive. Unless ranch mink produces a better value than at aresentthc article is bound to take a back seat in the family" A word 0f caution is being thrown out to buvers of mink skins iii the same article. 1t. is: "For old timers it is difficult to get. acclimated to pre- vailing mink prices Prices are double those of 1967 and it is not healthy." ‘An Italian fur association has been fomicd in Milan. Italy. to develop the foreign trade of furriei-s. 1t declares that Italy offers a vast market for United States and Canadian exporters of expensive high-class furs. a coni- modity which Italy lacks. The Association membership includes some of tlic most outstanding names in the fur business and ap- parently they have their hands on a large amount of funds available for the‘ industry.

This lichen grows on trees, living or dead. iOao may get a very 300d collection of lichens by scrutinizing the, logs brought in for fueli. The thallium is also fructlcose (or shrubby) in the so-called Reindeer Moss, a circumpolar plant folind in P. E. I. This plant, Cladonla ran lfern. grows in great abund- au iii Lapland and forms the sole winter food of the herds of reindeer without which the nat- ives of that barren clime could not exist. "Thus." said. Linnaeus. “things which are often deemed the most: insignificant and con- temptible by ignorant man, are by the good prov deuce of God. made the means of he greatest blessing to His creatures." This Cladonia, then, is shrubby. that is. branch- ed and re-branched; the branches are asliy-whlte to greenish-straw- color. hollow, cylindrical, and up to 1.5 mm. thick; and the whole plant may reach l0 cm high. The whole surface is fibrous and meaty. The apothecia are tiny brown Lnonzs on the tips of special ‘branclias. Iii the year 19X), at Mount Herbert, I noticed a peculiar growth where some turf-had been taken from the roadside. On the bare raw soil a multitude of bright salmon-colored “beads? about. 3 or 4 mm. in diameter, grew on short stalks, and I supposed them to be an unknown species of fun- gus. To make sure, I sent speci- mens to the Dominion Botaiillt. Ottawa, who informed me that. they were the lichen Baeomycesi roseus. I therefore revisited the spot where I found them, and made these notes: Baoomycu roams. Common. P. E. 1., 1920.

"The Fair Maid of Perth" car- ries one back to Scotland of the early fifteenth century, when the citizens of Perth held very near- ly the same relationship to the wild Highlanders, as Captain Miles Standish and his colonists did to the Indians, There was a certain amount of intercourse and trade. broken too often by assault and massacre. The folk in Perth were constrained under the cir- cumstances, to accept a feudal Lord as a leader. against their mountain foes, and against the powerful barons who kept Scot- land in an uproar by their dis- orderly acts.

The story oentms round the religious stru gles in Boot- land. and in part cular the Bat- tle of Bothwell Bridge in 1670. Though not so llghtsome (to use a dialect word) as the former story. "Old Mortality" has plenty of incident that well illustrates the peculiar type of piety native to Scotland in covenmtiiig times. Scott's reason for using "Old Mortality" as the title, is bold in the preface.
