Botanical Notes For December

(Emjperimental Farm Note)

“So hallowed and s0 gralclmis is ihc time" that the last. month of ilic year must. always be associat- cd with. the season of goodwill, and that precious thing called ihome; the ell-powerful loadewno which draws the wanderer! heart. from the farther end of the earth.

It: is the spirit of Christmas. ,Saint. Nicholas or Santa Claus [that fills the homes of all with {Good things, both spiritual and i material.

i Mr. Frank Church once exclaim- ed-“Not believe in Santa Clause! You might as well not believe in fairies. Nobody sees Santa Claus, but. that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that. neither children nor men can see. ‘No Santa Claus! ‘Thank God! he Illves end he fives for ever." i Children will certainly agree

.wfth Mr. Church when, at this

.most gracious season the spirit of iSalnt Nicolas (their patron) loads

ithem with gifts.

. Most Christmas presents owe

lliieli- existence to plants. Among

l these will be the indispensable box

jof candy composed mostly of

isrweets made with. sugar and

.f'lav0ured with materials of vege-

itable origin, such as chocolate.

y Sugar may be extracted from the‘ ‘sugar-cane. (one of the grasses)

from fruit, from the maple tree

. or from bcetroots.

i Chocolate is l preparation of

line seeds of the cown. tree which

-only grows in hot countries such

las tropical America. and the West

lIndles. It is interesting to know

‘that its first. botanical name

"I‘heobr0ma" means "Fbod for the

Gods."

Another vegetable flavouring for candy is the cocoa-nut, which grows on a great. palm tree. It is no relation to the chocolate-cocoa, but belongs to the same family as the date. which also finds a. place in the Christmas candy box.

The cocoa-nut palm i; one of the Tﬁmders of the world because every part. of it is said to be useful w man. either to clothe, feed or shelter him. The nut. furnishes milk, the young green leaves are eaten like cabbage. A wine is made from liquor produced by the flow- crs. The sap supplies sugar. Vessels and utensils are made out: of the nut-shells. The wood is used for making dwellings. The leaves dried and pialnted form the roof or they may be made into umbrellas. Cloth and mats are woven out of the fibres of the leaves, and the leaves sewn together make calls for ships. The fibre a‘so makes string and cordage. The oil expressed from the fresh kernel is vised ifoir the seasoning of food and illum- ination.

The date-palm which grows to a height of 80 fet and is eur- mounted by feathery foliage. is thc symbol of elegance end grace, hcnoe it became a. favourite He- broiv woman's name, “Tamar.” The (late is common in Palestine. As Bethlehem is only about five niilcs south of Jerusalem. it prob- ably flourished there on the first Clufs-lmas Day. Many pieces are named from its abundance 0.x. {Jericho “The City of the Palms," -' l-fazaznn-Eiunar. by the Dead Sea, | Baal-Tamar, near Gibeah etc.

Silver Fox Farming

¢i

Sydney H. Murley, General Man- ager of C. M. Lampson 8: Oom- pany, Lemon, England, is of the opinion that there can be no big development of fur ranching in the British Isles. He gives as the reasons high feed waste and all around greater expense in fur farming.

The classifiers. Art Doyle, Wes- ley Hayes and Al England — the first and third, former Prince Edward Islanders -— had u. dif- ficult tlme at the Royal Winter Fair carrying out their duties. be- cause of the swarm of children who over-ran the place. it. being children's day for the Fair.

In the December Canadian Sil- ver Fox and Fur is a chart show- ing the breeding of Carr 46R.

Champion Pup of flic Provincial Fox Show, Cliarlottetoivii, i037. The owner and breeder is Ira

Carr, Covehead. PEI.

Paris sales dates for silver fox are January 19th and 20th, Febru- ary 2am and 24th, March H, Hay 18th. London silver fox auctions start January 10th with Hudsoirs Bay Company leading off. It is expected that there will be quite large quantities of silver fox to dispose of. The Canadian fox auc- tions. Montreal. will be held Dcccni- ber 28th and following days.

A firm of London fur merchants sent one of their experts to Nor- way to make n. trip around among the ranchers and buy foxes alive for pelting purposes. The firm was of the opinion that the Nor- wegians peited their foxes too car- 1y, so all animals bought were requir- ed w bekerpt three weekslater than regular petting time. It is under- stood that over one thousand foxes were purchased.

The many friends of Cecil Jen- kins iind his father. J. D. Jenkins. will sympathize with them in the loss and great inconvenience suf- fered when fire destroyed the fox farm residence. Mount. Edward Road, last Saturday night. Hard- wood floors and new plumbing and heating had only recently been installed and Cecil and family were settled down for' a comfortable winter when this very regrettable event tcok place.

Burke examin- ling a‘fox. and the other showing interested spectators watching the performance. aDPOar together with a fine report of Fox Educational Demonstration Week at Bummer- side, in December Canadian Silver Fox and Fur.

Shippers to the Canadian Fur Auction and many acquaintances here will be deeply grieved to learn that. F. H. Piiigrce, Manager ‘of the Canadian Fur Auction Sales Com- pany, Montreal. who has been ill for some time, is still incapacitatcd and will not likely be able to al.- teml the fox auctions the latter part of this month. Mr. Piugrce is almost in a. clash by himself as manageryof a. fur auction, and the sale of December 8th was the first he had missed since the formation of the Company. Let us all hope that when the New Year comes around he will have been restor- ed to his former health and strength.

Statistics released by the Can- adian Fur Auction Sales Company regarding their December -sale abate that. wild caught mink which consisted of about 15 per cent. of their offering, declined 40 per cent. from last year with about. 50 per cent. selling. Ranch mink declined 40 per cent. with 60 per cent. sell- ing. The highest price for a mink pelt was $28.00. In the ranch mink there was a strong demand for the Yukon types which were all sold. The entire collection averaged $11.60 with the wild skins averag- ing $9.00 and the ranch skins $12.45 Low grades averaged $1.00.

The writer had fl. little chat with my great friend Raoul Raymond a few days ago. and casually asked him how many pelts he had takcn off. His answer pretty nearly flab- bergaaled me-—3.000i "Well." I said "you have certainly been hard at it." “Yes," said Mr. Raymond. “since the “TEL day of Dlcivembcr we have been steadily at it. Of course a great many of the pelts are not ready to be shipped yet. many of them have to be scrapped and finished.”

last summer when Mr. McLurc and I visited his ranch we notic- ed a shed with eighty adult foxes

running loose in il and another with forty adults. These were be- ing fed fox chow and copious amounts of water. We were both wondering how the experiment would turn out so I queried Mr. Raymond. "They turned out fine, he said. the fur was good. they were felear and really among the beat skins we‘ have.” His feed cost about two and a half cents per clay per animal and they drank about one pint of water a. day.

Taking it all around Mr. Rey- mond has had one of the best sea- sons for liis foxes since he start- ed. and his mink venture turned out wonderfully. These were choice mink from a high grade ranch in Quebec and they averaged four to the fcmale. Mr. Muyers of Lampson. Ruth and Company. New York. had a look over the ltdiliii» and kits a couple of weeks ago and was icry iuuch impressed with thcir color and size. Per- haps our readers are not aware that in addition to fox and mink ranching Mr. iteyuiond breeds quite a nunibcr 0i tliuioughbrcds and some harness horses. If you want! in sce rcai irolts developed as they arc in Kentucky as wean- ilngs and iruriings. you will find them at Mr. Rcyiiioiids. They are really lop notch.

J. C. Slciiarr, who is associat- ed with his brotlier-in-law George Dewar in fruit growing and fox fm-ming at Ncwlunds on the Mal- peque Road, has a splendid bunch of foxes this year, good color, good fur development. and good size. Jack deserves success because he was one of the very bcsl: gunners overseas, brave, faithful and never complaining. Al; the battle of Passcliendaele, October 26th. 1917.

holding the only fox pelt show in the Province. This year was a big improvement ovcr last in mun- bers and quality and many flatter- ing comments were heard regard- ing the exhibition. COIYQWTILKlilI- lions to all concerned!

Pcil. coinigiuncnt iionscs in the Province are doing a rushing busi- ness. The past week by rill ec- counts saw the greatest number of skins handled so far this season and some say almost. a record. This is accounted for by later pelting this year and by larger numbers being disposed of because many ranchers are cutting down their breediimg stock and eliminating the non-profitable.

The [inst fciv days of cold weath- er has had a material affect in stiffening the fur. Those who have pelted since the cold spell notice that fact. Noiv if we could only advance the cold weather so that it. would arrive about Novem- ber 1st. instead of the middle of December or later we would be all hunky-dory. To do this we might probably have toshift the course of the Gulf Stream or adopt some equally extraordinary plan.

By the way, have you treated your foxes that you are keeping for breeding piuposcs. for round worms and liookworms? If not the matter should be attended to right. away, that is if you decide it is necessary. 1t is not always advis- able to pill foxes in January. cer- tainly nol; after the 10th of Janu- ary. as thc disturbance created in the ranch may luiyc the effect. of upsetting the animals.

The sale of live ailver foxes held at the ranch of Lowell Hancock, Summerside, on Wednesday, wag a good success. Hugh Morrison act- ed as auctioneer and commenced business at, one o'clock. The ant- mals were exhibited in small pens 4 X 15- each P811 numbered and a catalogue was fumiﬂied to pros- pective buyers, giving the number. pailzree, and description of each animal. Eighteen annual; w"; sold with an average of about, $100.00. They were from the ranches of bowel! Hancock, H11- lard Mutter-t and B. Graham Rogers.

The success which has attended the two live fox sales. one at Charlottetown and the other at Siunmerside. means that they will be a. feature of future years and certainly one that deserve; much encouragement as it elves breeders an opportunity t0 secure good ani- mals at reasonable prion.

The death of W. A. Miller, Char- lottetown, on Wednesday, came as a shock to his many friends, who although they knew he we; 111 hoped for a. recovery. Mr. Miller made quite a name for himself as a. silver fox farmer. He start- ed in the industry about 1910 or II in partnership with tho late E. R. Brow.
