Every where could be seen field; of dais- ies that rivalled the winter snows in whiteness. Th farmers cut those fields for hay (though always too late) and consoled themselves with the thought that the “daisy” was “good feed". The habit of the plant made the crop a scanty one, an the late cutting allowed the seed to mature and re-seed the soil. One of the first projects started at the Experimental Station at Charlotefown, was the extlrpating of daisies and other weeds from a three-acre plot of badly infested mound. The experiment was begun in 1912, and a. three-year rotation was carried on till 1920. when it was discontinued as the land was wanted for other pin-poses Dr. J. A. dialrk reported that “ot me end ofthefirstthnee yearetherewas a marked decrease in the daisy. At six_ years only a. springlirlg oi bloom was to be seen over the field. and at nine years all the plants could be easily hand picked". The use of clover to smother the weeds and early cutting to prevent the daisy ripening its seeds, contribut- ed to the success oi the experi- ment. some years ago Professor Grch of Ottawa found another member cf the genus.

CONNECTED WITH A §ilver Fox Farming i NEWSY NATURE At this season o! the year most cf our anxleties are directed to- wards saving the litters which will arrive between now and the mid- dle of May. Most of us lose uite a. few oi them-in fact somet mes a large proportion-co anything that can help in preventing losses will surely be welcomed. Fbr that reason we are particularly pleased to be able to present the authori- tative article below. CAUSES OF DEATH AMONG YOUNG FOX PUPS Dr. C. K. Gunn, Dominion Experi- geutal Fox Ranch, Bummerside, P. Probably the greatest loss to fox ranchers throughout the year's op- erations is caused by the deaills which occur at whelping time and among new born fox pups. The mortality might be subdivid- ed under losses occurring as a result of abortions, deaths at whelping time and those taking place short- ly after birth.- Abortions in animals may occur as a result of a number oi factors, the chief among which are: mech- anical lnjutry to the vixen in (lie later stages of pregnancy; unbalan- ced deficlent diets. the ingestion of toxic substances oi chemical or bac- terial origin; genetlc lethal condi- tions which possibly occur in some new mutant types of foxes. and oc- casionally from tubal and infect- ious abortions. To avoid abortion in vixens the fox rancher should take special precautions to see that no spoiled or contaminated feeds are used dur- ing the gestation period. Chunk or freshly ground meats are preferable to those that have been thawed and frozen more than once in their preparation. The source of horse- meat should be carefully watched to avoid feeding meat that contains copper sulphate. arsenic or other poisonous stimulants which are sometimes used to condition old horses. often just shortly before 1116i’ die or are killed for fox feed. Mouldy cereal feed, which may re- sult from the feed being stored in a damp la , and biscuit manu- factured rom "ropy" flour or fun- gus infected meals, are other pos- slble sources oi danger at this sea- son. Many pup folces an killed or die at ille time of birth. Vixens which have been overfed during the breed- ing and gestation periods may get over fat and lazy as they become heavy during the terminal portion of the gestation period. ThLs leads to a vicious cycle in which they do not exercise and “ constipat- ed during late pregnancy and at whelping time. The lack of muscle tone and constipation tend to make birth of the pulls difficult so that the vixen often pulls upon lllem to $950 with a few light steers up to $10. Good butcher cows brought $7.25 to $7.75. One of the lightest runs in several months was had at MONTREAL and a couple of loads of good steers made the high for the Dominion at $10.60, while butcher cows ranged from $5.115 to $7.75 and an odd $8. There was no change in the MARITIME situation where there ls a ready market for good and medium grades of cattle. The best of the steers were quoted at $9.25 to $10. Western Cattle Markets Sharp price gains on all killing classes featured the trade at WIN- NTPEG. Most classes of cattle worked unevenly 50c to 75c higher. These sharp upturns, however, were considered artificai and some reac- tion is expected if deliveries become heavier. The bettr grades of steers went. to killers at $9.50 to $10. fleshy feeder material met compe- tition from killers and only a small number of light stockers were left for replacement purposes. with some fairly good stockers clearing at $7.50 to $7.75. CALGARY was active with most classes 25c to 50c up and the best of the steers at $9 to $9.50. with an odd $9.75 to $10. EDMONTON. likewise, had a lively trade and the bulk of the steers sold at $9 to $9.50 and $10. Other centres were strong on very short supplies due to bad weather conditions and MOOSE JAW recorded a top of $8.75 on steers, while the high at SASKA- TOON and VANCOUVER was $9 and REGINA $9.25. ‘Ilre Vancouver top was only for medium quality steers. United States Market Exports to the United States took a sharp drop and only one sale was reported at Buffalo of eleven steers at $10 per cwt. Recent quotations at St. Paul on good bulls were $10 to $10.25. Exporting of beef cattle has shown such a quick and sharp decline as to maloo export demand on Canadian stock yards almost negligible. However, out of the first quarterly quota of 51,720 head el- igible to enter the United States at the reduced rate cf duty there is still approximately 1.000 head left. shipments from January 1st February 19th, inclusive, included (with corresponding figures for 1941 in brackets) beef cattle 44.647 (16,712): dairy 2.262 (1,631); calves 8,942 (8.423). Exports during the past week were only 541 beef cattle, 823 dairy and 800 calves. Variable Calf Market The calf market east and west followed opposite trends. Toronto closed 50c lower win choice veals $14 to $14.50 and an occasional top oi $15. The highest price paid at Montreal was $14. Western mark- ets, however. were generally firm and Winnipeg paid a high of $13. Calgary and Edmonton s11, Saska- toon $12.75 and Regina $12. Boa Prices Ixhlblt Further Strength The price of hogs moved up a little further at nearly all market centres during the mist week. To- ronto closed 10c to 15c higher with lhe basic grade at $15.15 to 115.95 dressed, v.l"ile Montreal paid $15.25 at the close, aflm- an earlier range of $15.25 to $15.40. Winnipeg was also firmer at $14 to $14.35 find Calgary advanced 25c to finish at $14 to $14.10. Edmonton advanced v1.90 and closed at $14 to $14.40. Morse Jaw Halli 513.75.
