Breeders are always faced with the problem of which animals to select and which to discard. For success in linebreeding, it is necessary that s. system of selection should be adopted-tire system not the in- dividual selects the, foxes. Here again it is not considered advisable to present the voluminous experimental data. involved in the building up of u system of selection, but one has been built up as the results of definite experimental work in which the different alternatives have been tried. For ccnvenience the extremes of the individual characters are presented It) that the inexperienced fox breeders can readily see the sltematlves in the individual characters. While it is more nmdamente] to adopt a system than to work without one, yet with the system the judgment of the breeder ls an important factor. A system of selection is herewith presented and preference should always be given to the strong characters in the upper groups; it is more than doubly import- snt to eliminate the week alternatives given in the upper grsups. The weak alternatives in the lower groups can be remedied more readily than the weak characters in the upper Swims.
