Here is the Colonel's address: "The quantity and availability of the products of nature generally determine their cunmercial value.

"Due to lack of wrlrl markets brought on by dlitiiculties in ex- change of currency and the im- poverishment of many customers as a result of war, the value oi iurs, particularly black iox and its mutatloiris, has hit a new all-time low in dollar values.

I am neither a prophet nor the son oi a prophet. but I know that there are immutable laws which place 9. premium on quality products and which will yet cause a profitable market for top grade silver iox furs and mutations when their scarcity has started to inter- ,' est buyers because of the limited quantities available. In the mean- time. if you want to capitalize on the promises of the future be sure that you are breeding only anim- als oi the highut quality and most desirable characteristics.

NOTES - SPIDER! There is evidence in the ancient forests of New Brunswick. in this looks that miders have come down irom great sntiqulty. Geo- loglcally, their iosslls belong to the Carboniferous Period. spiders can be iou.nd everywhere. from Greenland in the polarrqrions to tine tropics. They are among the most numerous living things on the earth. Early entomologlsls listed spiders among insects. and in popular thought in many regions, they are still so ranked. Spiders, how- ever, belong to a low form of ani- mals, they belong to the order Araneidae, within a most extraor- dinarily diversified class, Anch- nida. which inciludu: Scorpions. crabs, spiders. ticks, mites and -harvestmen. - The most outstanding dii-isences between spiders and insects are as follows: Spiders have simple eyes, while those of insects are com- pound; they have eight legs, where- as insects have only six; their head is united to the thorax or body. wihile insects are not so united, but have at neck. The body of the spider is d-ivlded into two distinct parts which do not have segments; the fore part, bearing the six pairs of appendages, and a soft abdomen, with iorm two to tour pairs oi splnnerets at its end. On each at these spinnerets there are numerous spinning- apools. and from these there oozes I. viscid iluid that hardens into a silken thread. The bodies 01 in- sects. on the other hand, are divided into three parts: I-lead, thorax and abdomen, with many segments in both the thorax and abdomen. The popular prejudice against spiders is very hard to overcome. it is very widespread, and near- ly ,everyone wants to kill a. spl- der in sight. This idea. has arisen largely of the erroneous concept- ion tihat spiders are noxious and injurious to man; whereas, they are among mania greatest living benefactors. They destroy my- rlads oi flies, mosquitoes and other pests that torment both man and many of his domestic annuals. spiders injure no food plants, or any other product oi human in- dustry. They wage a. ceaselu wu- fare upon mania natural enemies All spiders are predaceous. and live largely on insects. With all man's ingenious de- vices and poisons, with which he has endeavoured to check the de- vastation of insects: including the spraying. by airplanes, oi millions of acres of forest in New Brun- swick, with poison (D.D.T.), to control the budworm; it is doubt- iul ii civilized man could over- come his natural enemies were it not let the ssaistance of spiders. Should our dlwplsed benefactors "bun... have received serious injury in the Prize List At P.E.I. Live Fox And Mink Show endeavour to kill the budworm, then only the future can tell the loss that may accrue from the dea- tructlon oi spiders. so iar as we can ieam, spiders seem to be re- sistant to D.D.'I'., but the des- truction oi their food supply in that area. may greatly lessen )heir number, and their beneficial con- trol oi insects. spiders are cannibalistic. and that is one reason why, so iar. it has been almost impossible to collect or manufacture spider silk, 1. most excellent fibre. It has -been round that spiders will not spin cobwebs when in ccnilned space, and when more than one is placed in. a. receptacle, they destroy one another: I 0 Spiders make many kinds oi silk. These are developed as fluids by internal glands in the abdo- men. and these fluids pass out through the spinning-spools. they harden into silk as they dry when coming in contact with the air. One type of silk is used as a rope which enables the spider to let itself down from any point, and by which it can climb back up to the same point. This is 9. dry non- elastic silk. that is also used for the framework ad the cobweb. They produce also a. sticky silk. which is used in forming cob- webs that trap insects, they also Champion Standard l'earl Platinum -Pup- 1. L. W. Hancock Reserve: L. W.

CHARLOTTETOWIV female lays her eggs. and which protects them until they ere listened. spiders are unique among the lower animals in that, to some mun, may resemble man, by using manuwctured implements. Webs. cages, and openings with trap doors to secure their food and livelihood. some 0! their snares are beautiful and very i.n- genious. They protect their eggs and themselves irom wet and cold with webs oi allk. There is 5 great variation in the number of eggs laid by diiierent species of spiders. some lay only half 9. dozen at a. time. and others lay many hundreds. Spiders also vary greatly in the kind of hair they have on their skins, some oi these hairs are specialized as very sensitive structures. They thus have a. very exquisite sense oi touch, which compensates Ior their ev- HLAD OIHLE: II. E. l-IABT, 58 Grafton St. v wrrv almost complete lack of sight or hearing. All spiders have poison migs There ore two laws nttsdied to the head that have hollow lungs that fold up in a. groove like a pocket knlie. They kill their prey with poison irom the ducts in these ia.ngs. which in all but two spec- ies, is poisonous to insects only. The male is much smaller than the iemale in practically all asecles. He usually has a much more brightly coloured coat. Males usually are much iewer in number, and this may be partly due to the fact that the female frequent- ly destroys a number of her male visitors, wrapping their skeletons in silk and hanging them on the edge of her snare, like the scalps hung from a. savages wigwam.
