TIMELY NOTES ON TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

Silver Fox Farming

cl

Monday morning at nine o'clock the 12th Prince Edward Island Live Fox show will be ushered in at ihe Provincial Exhibition grounds. ALI morning and afternoon will be 0::- cupled with receiving and placing foxes and classifying them. The classifying committee is a good one but they will have iLeir hands full with silvers, registered and unreg- istered, marked silvers, standard platinum silvers, standard platin- ums and standard silver pearl blues. There are 60 sections. or in other words 80 classes of foxes and it would not be surprising if the all- time record of 710 is exceeded. All signs point to its being one of the greatest shows of all time in quan- tity, quality and variety of exhibits ‘Our advice is to see it if you possib- y can.

In the mall last evening we re- ceived from Robert G. I-Iodgson, proprietor of the Fur Trade Jour- nal of Canada, a copy o! Breeding and Reproduction in Fur Bearing Animal-s, by E. E. LaBereg, We have gone over it hurriedly but suffic- iently to pronounce it a really mar- velous book. one that every breed- er should have in his possession be- cause it gives in very clear and easily understood language what is more er less technical knowledge.

Chapter l0 --APPENDIX—contains the latest information on the use oi hormones which some of our fox breeders made a limited try-out with last season with considerable I success. More particulars regarding the book can be procured by writ- ing the Fur Trade Journal of Ca- nada. Box 31, Toronto 2. Canada.

Lack of fertility in animals has been generally ascribed to lack of , vitamin E and no doubt with con- . siderable truth, but recent experi- I ments by scientists in the Univer-

continue all winter in the propor- tion of about a quarter of an ounce of turnip per fox. It is a cheap vegetable and good.

Another reason for failure of mares to raise foals or even produce. has been found in the western Unit- ed States, particularly in Oregon, to be a lack of iodine. Small doses of iodine fed to the mother when carrying the foal have yielded re- markable results.

Our readers will remember that Dr. G. Ennis Smith was the first lo point out the need of iodine on our fox farms, and year after year stressed that necessity. Somehow or other we have forgotten about it, although most of us have fed some fonn of iodine either as kelp meal or perhaps in the cereal ration used. Maybe the tremendous losses of litters which occurs in some ranches is due to a lack of iodine. Anyhow it would be a good thing the coming breeding season if each rancher would fortify his diet with a small quantity of iodine. Potas- sium iodide can be obtained from your druggist and dissolved ip wat- er. Ii. should be fed ln the propor- tion of about one-twentieth of a grain daily for each fox during the rreeding season. It can be used kroughout the year without detri- ment and no doubt with very con- siderable benefit in many cases.

We are prone perhaps to scoff a little too much at the scientific side of things, salving our lack of know- ledge with the statement that, wdl. we have always had a very good wrcductioh. But there is no doubt that a good production can be made better and by study and careful ob- servation combined with that study better results can be obtained in any field of endeavor. Just take for instance the wonderful work that has been accomplished in Wiscon- sin in improvement of breeding herds. Scientists Jzcre have found a method whereby artifically pro- Cil"i.‘.'I semen from high-class bulls can be diluted with a mixture o; phosphates in salt solution and the semen kept potent for many weeks, ao that 25 cows can be inseminated. The past season some 25,00) calves of outstanding heredity have been produced in the state of Wisconsin by that method, and as a r:sult in a few years the milk production of Wisconsln—which is already ilie greatest in the world-will have been improved still further.

Artificial insemination of foxes has not arrived-that is it has not successfully arrived-but no doubt it is on the way and will be the

ty of Wisconsin have also found | that old bulls have been brought back to vigor with injections of as- corbutic acid or vitamin C. It ap- pears that in certain sections there la a deficiency of this vitamin in the grasses or feeds whlrn these animals are fed and the deficiency being made up they return again to vigor. The experiments have been so numerous and conducted with such excellent results that there cannot be any doubt as to the ef- ficacy of the treatment.

Lack of ascorbutlc acid or vitamin C should not be a prevalent factor for non-breeding success in this country, as the common variety of turnip is quite well fortified with vitamin 6.. and most of our fur bearing animals are fed turnips.

No doubt our male foxes if sex- ually inert would probably suffer from the same cause bv their lack of vitamin E or lack of vitamin C. In our own ranch we have been

means of great breed improvement. Of course such a system of produc- tlon is much more easily accom- plished with large tractable ani- mals than it is with highly sgnsitive small animals such as a fox. Our reason for acqualnting our readers w; Ii these latest doings by scien- tists is that they will be au falt with that which is new and inter- esting. It will be the purpose of this column from time to time to pub- lish the latest facts on breeding. nutrition and anything having a bearing on silver fox farming.

Canada's production of raw furs during the tvzelvc month period ending Jllfil‘, 1940. is officially valu- cd at $16,638,348, an increase over the preceding season of $2,381,411. It is estimated that approximately 30 per oent of this value may credited to farm pelts. silver fox led in point of view of value with a total of $4,385,977. follcv\\"'i by muskrat with $3,928,318. and mir at $3,100,502. Practlcalw llie entire production of silver fox pelts and nearly half the mink pelts are from the fur farms. Ontario was first a- mong the provinces in order oi vnille of fur production with a to- tal of $3,229,446, Alberta second av $2.514.877 and Quebec third at $2-333,392. The percentages of the total for the various provinces of Canada is as follows: Ontario 19.4 per cent. Alberta 15.1 per cent. Que- bec 14 per cent. Manitoba 11.3 p’ cent, Saskatchewan 9.5 per cent, British Columbia 7.4 per cent, North West.
