a vigorous fertile queen. It is not
necessary Co see the queen, for if
eggs and brood are present in a
eompoct nest. and the capped brood
is covered with flat cappings, it
may be taken for granted that she
is satisfactory. There should be at
least from fifteen to twenty pounds
of food present. Anything less than
this should be made up by giving
combs of honey or syrup made of
honey, or sugar and vi-liter. Never
fend the bees with honey from an

In my contact with large and

experiences has been thst it is tha

intelligently who achieves the grast-
est success in The work of breeding

livery year many valuable foxes
are lost-some of than before
reaching the adult age~a little
thoughifulness, self interest and
intelligence on the pert of those in

On every ranch foxes are lost
,through some disease for which the

account. The cause may be im-
proper feeding cr it may be lsck of
proper sanitation, or other factors
which are always creeping up uri-
exectedly in the breeding and
raisuig of fur bearing snimals.
I want to desi briefly this week
with one disease, which is undoubt-
edly disirning large numbers of fox-
es each season. I-t is s d'ead disease
when once it has secured s foot-
hold in a isncn. Fortunately it is
not contagious, md government ex-
perimental fox stations have devis-
ed remedies for iw control. The

SCU RVY
It is fairly ssfs to say that hardly
anyone connected with the' breed-
ing of foxes ever thought of con-
necting scurvy with any desths that
may have occured in his own or in
neighboring ranches. But the e is
now no doubt that scurvy has
been making ravages for ii number
of years, and is probably one of
the most prominent coiiditionii that
has been harassing the fox industry,
being the csule of s large percen-
tsge of loses.
CAUSE OF SCURVY IN
FOXES
i
xi may be uid at the outset that
scurvy in foxes is undoubtedly
brought about entirely by improper
feeding, although in such cases im-
prpoer cure and management. al-
ways aggravate such conditions and
mobs them more intense. Further-
more breeders who feed properly
and keep their ranches in a sani-
tary condition need have but little
fear that scurvy will visit their
snimsls. scurvy is not infectious.
nor contagious, and if it is preval-
ent on a ranch it can promptly be
overcome by simple remedies.
The remedy for entirely counter-
aoting scurvy is very simple-just
by feeding of fresh vegetabws, or-
ange juice.`lemon _iuice and freshly
killed meat, the most favorable re-
lults being obtained with fresh
vegetables end the orange juice;
and in most eases it only takes it
fvw dl!! $0 Rt back the n0.ms.l
condition.
It has been absolutely demon-
strlitd tlilt scurvy results from the
absence fo Vitamn C, the sntisoor-
butic element, in the daily rations,
and therefore we find that scurvy
appears to be a great scourge and
a. ravage to the silver fox in captiv-
ity. The symptoms cf scurvy in sil-
ver foixu are first shown by a pe-
ouliar psllor of the skin, which may
VNKNBJ until the condition known
as "white nose" will be observed.
This is followed by a peculiar sw_el-
ling of the extremities, more partl-
cularly the tsil which becomes dry
und scaly. The teeth become loose
and s bluish hyperemis can read-
ily be seen forming a bluish band
along the gums. Genereiiy this is
accompanied by chronic constipa-
tion and by internal he-mcrrbages.
PUPS SUFFER. M081'
While scurvy ummm adult- foxes
leads to many fatalities, also to an
impoverished oonditim with result-
ing poor fur qualities, its ravages
are probably not so greet ss oe-
curs with infantile scurvy amongst
fox pups.
in cases when the female has
not made e proper gain during the
Pall and has been fed during the
gestation period on scorbutic rations,
a g-rent percentage of the pugs do
not live more than forty-sig t to
seventy-two hours.
with the survivors. typiesl symp-
toms of infantile scurvy cannot be
observed very much after the pups
are five or six weds old. but are
mon pvnounoed during the first
two weeks of their growth. when it
will be noticed that then is a pe-

While some breeders maintain

of the pups, yet it is a. recognised
fact that pups born during the cold
weather of March and APTU DN'
gross more favorably than those
born during the warmer months of
May and June.
On one ranch where scurvy had
developed and where the rations
were very similar to those fed on
average ranches, it was noted that
the females, more especially, be-
gan to show signs of scurvy. The
molar teeth became loose. the gums
swollen and showing a bluish hyp-
eremia. Thee was s. marked DB1'

from these females, many of which

As the survivors grew they im-
medistely began to show signs of
scurvy. The hind legs became swol-
len, stiff and helpless, especially
the tip, showed numerous small
subcoutsneous hemorrhagic areas,
also became dry and sealy.
As soon as convinced that s se-
