The raising of wild animals for
their fur is a subject Of such gem
eral interest that the biological sur
vey of the department of agricul-
ture has been led to conduct expert
ments in the breeding Of mink at the
National Geological Park in Wash
ington. The survey wishes to as
certain whether rearing animals in
captivity can be made commercially
successful. The experiments seek TO
supply facts in regard to their hous-
ing, feeding, mating, and in general
to determine the best method of
caring for the animals. Preliminary
hints on mink farming can now be
obtained from the department of eg-
riculture at Washington, ID. G. The
experiments are said to be the first
of the kind ever undertaken by the
government.

later researches he finds that the
the fish goes into the red xessel and
waits until some crumbs are dropped
into it, which he then eats. A
more striking point is that at other
times the fish enters the baited red

does not eat at such times. The
factor of hunger was therefore
eliminated here and we have to do
