And what are some of these' _nl-aoua__i:_-____In many-stunt: ‘ perhaps ms y of cases losses can be attributed to P00r sanitation, carelessness ang l.a»;:kt_;>f proper feeding on the pa o e rancher. 0! course it would be un- yugongble to elcpeot to raise all pups to maturity, but certainly there are losses that could and should have been prevented. From early in Much and thence through the whole season every rancher should make it a rule to practice by every means under his control proper san- itation of his ranch. If legitimate success is to be achieved in-raising your pups to maturity, you cannot expect to do so if they are infest- ed with worms and parasites. Your; pups are much more liable t.o the several diseases met with on all ranches than are the adult ani- mals. The adult fox has more re-' sistance to these diseases than has the small pup, whose tender age naturally reacts against its ability to fight off worm infestation and other puppy troubles. It .should be the desire and the ambition of every fox farmer to raise e crop of healthy. lnolllic. well furred silver foxes. and there are several ways in which this can be dons. Approximately a fortnight before the female is due to whelp, care- fully inspect the kennel, and assure polnself that it is clean and in load sanitary condition to accom- odate the expected litt/er of pups. and thus eliminate as far as POSSibl¢ any undue losses from lack of care in this respect. Experience and‘ practioshas shown that up to this img it is advisable to feed the fe- male fox all the meat she can reasonably take care of in say ten Bihutm feeding time. Some foxes ' ve a habit of burying a portion ef their food, and this must be prevented. It is preferable to out down on each a.nimal's capacity to consume a stated quantity ol' food. Two weeks before the expected lit- ter is to arrive, gradually reduce her quantity of meat ration, and instead supply her with A dish of whole milk at the noon feeding hour. So as to avoid having to en- ter the pen, the dish should be placed just inside the pen door. Some foxes will pay no attention to this milk diet before whelping time. but the fact of your placing it there will acustom her to the opening and closing of the pen door. A ration of beef hearts or beef el.n.be given at the moming and night feeding time, but just as soon as it is noticed that the female. has taken to the. kennel, the ran- cher 'should remain away from her }\en, only approaching it at the eeding time. Be careful not to place too much food in the pen at this time, as the female fox will only eat very spar- ingly for several days after whelp- ing. Later the mothers f_eed may be gradually increased until she is getting a normal ration-and dcn't forget to always place the dish of fresh whole milk in the pen at noon. Up until the pups are at least three weeks old, avoid going near the' kennel and pups. After this period the rancher may satisfy his curiosity and give each pup a round worm pup capsule. When the pups sg; _meyjlie edt intosmali sect ons, one section for each pup ln- the litter.
