The snow was packed so hard that it took gangs of men foul‘ days to dig the kennels out. During their entombment the foxes received no food or attention. All the animals were alive when UHCOVCN-‘d but some showed s'uggish condition.

Away from all social amenities these men rapidly deteriorated and in character became more savage than the natives themselves. Presently time-expired mission- aries from the Congo began to ur- rive in England, and ghastly were the tales they told. I can recall one of the worst. one of the Bel- gian administrators, who was ad- dicted to "squ8.refaoe” (traders gin. so called from the shape of

era for dinner. in a drunken con- dition. The table was not set to suit. him, so he called in his native servant and shot him. Then he bade the other servants decapitate thel body and boil the head. when this was done he forced them. at the point of his revolver, to drink the ‘‘broth.'' The .;torles caused such indignation throughout the count- ry, that the matter came before the House of Commons, which after full! investigation, sent a remonstmnce‘ to the Belgian government. As Del- 1 gium depended upon England as at protector (under the treaty oil 1839) she immediately withdrew,

Shredded Wheat Fox Food is an econ- o:l?.’cal food, 1 lb. of it will absorb fully 4“’S- 0f warm milk and be ready to feed within half _an hour. It is prepared from the highest quality wheat. The process of steam cooking, shred- ding and baking entirely changes the nature of the starch content of the wheat and Shredded Wheat contains no raw starch, thus Shredded Wheat is one of the most nourishing foods for foxes. The Shredded Wheat Fox Food is prepared specially for foxes and is ex- actly the same as the Shredded Wheat put 111) in packages for human consumption. Ranch- ers should beware of the Shredded Wheat Waste which is not fox food at all, and may easily be recognized by its very brown _col0ur. All -bags of Fox Feed are stamped in blue “SHREDDED WHEAT FOX FEED made by CANADIAN SHREDDED WHEAT CO» LTD'., Niagara Falls, Ont.”

In ll. l‘CC0llt-l5Lue oi‘ the Soviet magazine "Construction" which is devoted to the soviet fur breeding industry, is the following: It can be said with the utmost confidence that sabios will be bred in the near future with the slime SUCCESS 5-5 silver fox. :00 sablcs in the forest inhabit an enormous territory. but on the farm at Pushkino near Mos- cow as mgny are being raised on a plot of about 400 square yards» A new epoch in the life of the sable

has begun-

During the hundreds of years in which sablcs have been hunted. the simple fact that now forms the basis of their artificial breeding was never di covered. It had always been believed that like other fur bearing animals they mated during the winter, in February. Although they had even been caught and kept in cages every attempt at matinx them was unsuccessful It seemed as if they could not, or would not. mate under’ artificial conditions. The trappers. however, had been observing the animals in winter only. but when biologists began to study the problem scientifically they discovered thnt it was in the summer sabics mated. As soon as this characteristic, the summer mat- ing, had been verified, sables were bred in the Moscow zoological Gar- dens and then on fur farms and preserves. The magazine is adorn- ed with many figures of foxes, squir- rels, raccoon ‘and salbles.

The second half of the mag-nine is devoted to the hunting of the

liaps on account of the mild weath-

becouse it is impo siblc to ascer- tain the cos. of production in Rus- sia, and furthermore since the go.’- t‘l‘llil1e.'if; of that country owns, cvclylhliig it cannot subsidize it- self within the niearling of our unti- clumlllng laws. The Russians are lindcr—sell‘nlg in world markets and the tariff on furs will have to be tightened to meet this unfair com- petition." i

Distres lng losses have been re- ported in some ranches and no doubt they are occuring L‘ not on as large a scale, stll on a scale that is too great to make the in- dustry profitable to many. one ran- cher lost 104 pups before they were four days old. They were born and were apparently well developed. but lacked something wherewithal to battle successfully for life.
