were won by two "oldsters," Tan- iier G answering to nineteen years, and Cecil Van. a sprightly pighteen-year-oid. Some horses maintain their speed until they attain a very respectable age, but they are mostly ones that did not start racing until they were well matured. An exception to that was Heatherbell, that started rac- ing and took a record as a two- year-old. In his 14th year he low- cred several track records and he continued racing until he was eighteen years old. A great deal oi his spirit was inherited from Robert McGregor, known as the “Monarch of the Home Stretch." Robert McGregorb blood flows in the pedigree of Mignonette, dam of Abner Britton and Babe Britten. 1t has a tendency to make its possessor: a bit "hot" but is considered quite valuable.

Lloyd O'Brien has left for lviaine where he expects to race through the fail months. He. took with him Buster C., Dudy Bud- ioiig and the recently acquired Dick Budiong, all owned by Dr. l. A. Donahue, Truro. We extend to Lloyd our best wishes for suc- ccss . . . It is rumoured that Wil- lard Kcily will race at Foxboro, Mass, track night racing meets in tho near future. If so his stable will consist of Vella La Velia, Noll Kalmuck and Lucky Num- hi-r. That trio should give a good account of themselves even in lhc fast company they will meet st l-‘oxboro.

Brewer's Gallon, winner at Charlottetown and a frequent win- ner throughout the season, cer- tainly one of the fastest four- year-old trotters ever campaigned in the Maritimes, is we understand to go into the stable of Joe 0'- Brien at Roosevelt Raceway. Pur- chased the fall of 1947 by B. C. Cruickshank, Halifax, for $3.500, mainly on account of his pedigree and the excellent recommendation given to him by his breeder. Brewer's Gallon turned out to be sli that was expected of him and if nothing goes wrong he should take s record over a mile track close to the two minute mark.

Northville Downs Track. 111., is noted for its close finishes. Sstl urday night two weeks ago it took the photo camera to decide six of the nine dashes. There was a serious accident there the week previous when a l-iorse threw its driver, bolted the fence in front sf the grand stand injuring ten persons as the sulky shafts struck them. Fortunately no one’ was seriously injured.

George Hooper has very kindly given us the score card of the Chatham Speedway races Septem- ber 5th, where he acted as start- er. The Free For All was won by A. G. Scott, owned and driven by C.

Peterson To Meei Murray

A six-round bout between Sid Murray. lightweight champion of Prince Edward Island and Big Boy Peterson, heavyweight champion of the Province, will be one of the feature attractions at the Cann- dlan Legion Carnival in Summer- side on Saturday night, Septem- ber 17th.

Jim Hogan who is promoting the fight says that both fighters are in top form andalthough Peter- son's title will not be at stake it will be a decision bout.

Boxing fans have been curious to know how Murray would stack up against Peterson in/a decision bout. Their last encounter was at the bouts staged in Sum- merside recently under the spon- sorship of the Physical Fitness movement.

At that time although meeting in only an exhibition encounter both boys showed up well and al- though outweighted considerably Murray demonstrated an ability to trade punches on an even basis with his heavier opponent.

Boxing fans are wondering in the western capital how Sid would pan out in a title bout With Th9 Big Boy and what the chances are for havlnK P9195011 P"! m! crown up for Saturday's bout- Final arrangements for the Sat- urday card have not been comlileli‘ ed but Jim Hogan stated last night that at least four other events would be staged-S.

A fox is no saint but he ia often blamed for depredatlona ho did not. commit. At this season of the year foxes consume largo numbers of mice and grasshopper-g and win often fill their Stomach; with bllllébefrlco. Foxes are more num. erous than ever and hunters with houndsare looking forward to gil m; sport they can absorb this coming fall any! winter. Fox trappers and snarers are the ones who" really cut down on the fox population, although the man with a nqund will take a fox that is too cute for eliher "no m- anure. and the wily 1°! may be expected so keep on increasing until such time an the price of his handsome pelt makes full time trapping a profitable business. Here's hoping that dame fashion decrees that the long- mired furs assume their rightful Diace in Miladys wardrobe.

This is the season oftho year when all the foxes in your ranch should be dosed with sixteen minim Nema. capsules. It may be that some of them do not; requii-g treatment for worms either hook- woirm or round worms. but it ie safest to do so. We have made it. a regular practice in our ranch for over twenty years and it has given good results. At the same time you are treating for worms treat for earmiteg and algo look for fleas. 1f you find any foxes with fleas get right after them and also the shed they are in. Take out all the loose refuse and burn it and spray thoroughly with good strong-smelling disinfectant. We have not had fleas for many years because we use copious quan- tities o-f cresol disinfectant spray- ed in the proportion of 1 in 80 parts of water and we keep refuse cleaned out frequently.

Fleas are one of the most lg- gravatlng propositions the ranch- er has to deal with. Once they got established they are very difficult to eradicate. In the old days ev- ery ranch had fleas because we didn't. have the facilities for tak- ing care of them that we have now. The usual practise was to mix up a. dip of crcsol or Izal 1 in 100, choose a, warm day and dip the fox and rub thoroughly with the liquid. Now Puivex powder is the standard preparation and it certainly does good work. There are a number of good earmite 1o- tiom on the marker - one being the formula of tho writer that can be obtained in practically all parts of the Province and is very effective and non-irritating. Ear- mltes can be easily recognized as a film of what appears to be clay- ish material inside the ear. If ta- ken out and placed under the microscope you will see hundreds of tiny little crablike creatures. If they are allowed to run their course they will destroy the bal- ancing nerves cf the ea-r and the fox will run around in circles.

The other diay we thought it would be a. good idea to find out how much it cost: to feed our pups for the month of August, also our adults. The pups, fed a mixture of home meat, tripe, liver, fish bloc, cereals and supplements cost an average of $1.50 for the month. Tho adults which are almost en- tirely on pellets averaged .93 cents. We presume that if the pups were also on pellets they would average at least $1.25. So far the pellet. experiment with the adults is proving good, practically all of them have cleaned off nice- ly and seem to be in condition to take on a. good coat. of clear fur.

~~Laist year we experimented with 33 foxes on pellets. later on when the weather got cold in Novem-

Mink Farming

.

Bowness advises putting up the shutters around the mink sheds after the- 16th of September, that. b? 1101113 so the fur is improved. We usually put up the shutters on the fox much around tho first of October as we find that the cold, drafty breezes blowing through make the foxes uncomfortable and retard development oi fur. We leave the shutters about one- q-uarter open and that gives plen- ty of vmtllatiore-arld admits plen- ty of ail‘.

While this particular year is not filled with sanguine expectations of high prices for fox pelts yet it up to every one of us to produce as 800d Delia so we possibly can. At present there is a surplus on the markets of the United States and Canada and this year's take- off may have to be held in cold storage for a couple of seasons or more. Iii they are prime and have been well cared for and have been taken off properly, they will not deteriorate very seriously in that‘ time in a good cold storage plant. We don't know whether the Gov- Pmmefll Dian will be in operation or not but we trust some wrt of plan will be available to fox farm- ers ao that a part of the industry at least can be held together. It would certainly be very disap- pointing to us all if we dropped out and found that a few years later the business was back with its old prestige and demand. One thing we can be sure of the Nor- wegians -- in fact all the Scand- inavian countries - will hold over a large nucleus of foxes expect- ing to cash in when the better day arrives. They have been en- abled iio more or less keep on an even keel by the barter system which we have explained in these columns frequently. It has back- fired s. bit in the past few months because Norway has been loaded up with perfumes and other mat- erials taken in barter that have to be sold at higher prices than they could be bought and sold in a. free market, so the prospects are that Norway, Sweden and Denmark will cut down very con- siderably in the population of fox breeders for 1950. We have spoken to several fox farmers here who have maintained their herds de- spite the difficulties. Some of them are cutting down to one-third of their present keep and only one party we have spoken to is going out. of business.
