the present system of marketing, to
numerically skin the producers
through fluctuations in prices These
fluctuations in prices are a clear
demonstration of the power Of
money to Cypress.
This plan involves the national
governments constitutional and 1e-
gal powers to perform the follow
ing functions:
To purchase land;
To erect buildings:
To lease buildings;
TO employ agents;
To receive deposits;
TO loan money.
The national government has con-
tinually performed every one of
these Identical functions from the
date of it's establishment, and is
now continually performing them.
This fact is known to everybody,
and as its legal and constitutional
right to perform these functions is
disputed by none, the legality and
constitutiona1ity of the plan will not
be called in question by any intelli-
gent person. This plan, without any
alterations, can make long time
loans on farms occupied and Guilt
waited by the owners thereof, at an
equally low rate of interest under
proper regulations, but as I am now
discussing the marketing of staple,
non-perishable farm products l will
not at this time discuss the land
loan feature of the plan
The absolute necessity for putting
this plan into operation at the ear
lest possible date is clearly demon
strated by little investigation of
the present wasteful methods of
marketing these products. The
average fuctuation in the price of
cotton within one year from the
date it is placed upon the market is
pound; and this f1uctuation in prices
is about the same in all other stap-
pie, non-perishable far mproducts.
When the cotton crop amounts to
100000 bales, which doubtless
will be the minimum crop in this
country in future, the fuctuation in
price amounts to the enormous sum
of 1925, 100000, nearly all of which
is lost by the cotton producers and
absorbed by the cotton spectators
and by eXOrbitant interest charges.
It is realized at glance that no
productive industry can prosper un-
der such conditions, and it explains
why home owners are decreasing
and tenants are rapidly increasing.
It must be admitted that all pro-
ducts are in the same boat with the
cotton farmer and that they must
sink or swim together.
Since the cost of marketing a IS
100000 crop under this plan could
not be more than $37,000,000, It
is seen that it will save to the cot
ton producers alone $18S.0G0,0n0
in the marketing of each crop: and
it will save the producers of wheat,
corn, oats, rye. rice, wool and to-
bacco at least 1920. 100000 annu-
ally. This plan will save the Ameri-
can producers of staple, non-perisha-
BILE farm products over $400.000.000
on each crop. If the savings were
one-third of this amount, it demon
strates conclusively the absolute ne
cessity for the speedy adoption of
such plan.
AS to the workability of this plan
that is clearly proven by the fact
years every detail of this plan as to
handling these products in full oper-
alton but upon a radically wrong
basis. Every bale of cotton, sack
or bale of wool, and every pound of
tobacco placed upon the market is
stored in ware houses now. All the

How many times when the tempest hurried us oni has the memory of those sacred hours; the mothers words; her faith and prayers saved us from plunging in- to the deep abyss of sin.

Home

When the chill blasts of winter shriek across the frozen earth and the pitless snow hides from our sight the last vestage of what remains of summer, when the frozen streams and leafiess trees look barren and desolate, and even the beasts of the field cling closer to their protecting shelter, how dreadful is the thought that perhaps some poor homeless wanderer is out in the storm. It is then that we turn to our own fireside and smile at the dear faces of our loved ones. it is then that we fully appreci- ate that priceless gift that God has given us-home, where we can find rest and comfort unmo- tested; home, where we can breathe our sorrow to sympas thetic ears; home; where our joys are the happiness of others; home, where true hearts beat in unison with one another and happiness is found in its fullest meaning. So should we each strive in our own way to make our homelife better and brighter. 4 kindly word at parting, a pleasant smile in greeting, an ap- proving glance; an encouraging word, or a helping hand, each in h cir place, and we never know heir power for good. So let us; to whom God has given these blessings, make them what they should be. a paradise on earth; where weary hearts can find rest and peace after the toii of the day is over.

The Silver Fox
 Industry.

FIT. s. A., the largest House in the World, dealing exclusively in American Raw Furs, in a letter to the editor says in part as follows; More than one thousand five hundred silver black foxes are in captivity at the present time throughout United States and Canada. Thousands of dollars
 are expended annually in the scien-
 tific breeding of these valuable
 little animals, and the industry so
 far at least has proven a success.
 Few people realize, however, that
 far from being modern in its origin,
 the raising of animals for their fur is, in point of fact, centuries old.
 However, the art of breeding silver
 black foxes successfully is a pro- duct of the latter part of the nine teenth century, and even today the industry is still in the process of perfection.
 Canada is truthfully said to have the edge on this country when 1t comes to silver black fox raising. It was a Canadian, Charles Dalton 1, of Prince Edward Island, who first successfully bred these almost priceless foxes, and Canada is still far ahead of any other country in this unique enterprise. About twenty-five years ago, Dalton, who was farmer; happened by chance upon litter of black fox, and con- ceived the idea that with the enor- nous price these furs were bringing in European Markets, there ought 10 be fortune in 1t for the one who could raise them practically. For number of years he conducted a black fox ranch in secret. and the
 lninals were bred cnly for their
 UT, and since the choice Fine Dark
 'kins brought anr#hefe from five
 lurdted tt tHree thousand dollars
 ,piece; ae feslized Considerable on his undertaking, as he secured only the finest skins by careful feeding and watching, A few years ago, It occurred 10 Dalton that there was more money in raising these animals for sale as breeders, as others were beginning to try their hand in the business, and so for the last six years he has sold noth- ing but live black fuxes.
 The top notch price now on re- cord for pair of pure silver black foxes is $40. 900, and since the price of all othe. furs has increased many times their Value in the last few years, 1t is thought that In a short times their Value in the last few years, it is thought that in short time, silver black foxes will be worth their weight in gold. The little island where Dalton began his operations is now studded with black fox ranches, and while the land there is well adapted Tor fox l breeding, they can be raised in other districts as well. The United States Department of Agriculture has shown that almost all the

country IS SultaDle TOT FOX iarmlng.
 The gradual extermination of wild animals throughout the Con- tinent has brought on an alarming scarcity in raw furs within the last few years, and MT. A. B. Shubert of Chicago-President of A. B. Shubert, Inc, the largest house iu the world dealing exclusively In American Raw Furs, has shown
 that if attention is not given to the domestic culture of certain animals, the country will soon lose one of its greatest industries. Among other things he has encouraged and | fostered the silver fox farming and thousands of inquiries are being received from enthusiasts all over North America. Last year Shu- bert's collection of one hundred and twenty three black and silver Fox brought the big hest prices ever known in European Markets. The nobility of Europe vied with each other in bidding at the sales to ob- tain these beautiful furs.
 Although there are thousands of dollars in it for the successful rais- CT ot black and silver foxes, Very small number of those who attempt it succeed to a practical extent. The reason for this lies in the fact that whoever engages in Fox farm- ing must be fitted for the business with a very even temperament and an abundance of patierce. The habits of the animals must be studied carefully. They must be presented with an invironment as close to nature as possible, and they must be severely y alone at breeding time. They are usually ted twice a day, and receive a quarter of pound of meat each day, but wild food, such as pige- ons, chickens, mice and rabbits, is also fed to them to keep up their wild instincts, and make them feel more at home in their surroundings. They are kept ih wire netting inclosures and given plenty of opportunity to burrow, a concrete wall extending in the ground for some distance to pre- Vent their escape. If a mother Is disturbed in anyway at breeding time, she will oftentimes kill the entire litter of young ones, for fear Of their safety, and many times, the mere curosity to know how many young were in a new litter, has caused the mother to kill them all. She does this not for spite but for love of her babies. Black fox mate in February and March, and the filters come in April and May, or to be exact, flfty-four days later. Orerfeeding has also spelled defeat for many a fox-raiser, and 1t is even better to underfeed than to overfeed these animals. Overfeeding is dangerous as 1t causes intestinal trouble; and fat animals moreover, will not breed.
 Each year the supply of wild foxes becomes more scarce, while the ranch-bred fox is on the in crease. The Indians of Yukon Territory captured ffty-six live

much of a habit as anything else. and
