domestication OF fur bearers. The climate
OF the middle and southern states is not
we'll suited to this industry, as shown by
the medium or low prices commanded by
furs from these areas.
The ratio Of expense to income must be
considered with care. One cannot pay
the exorbitant prices animals for stock
ing purposes sometimes bring and expect
to raise fur at profit. Neither can one
expect to raise furs of fine quality from
inferior stock. But given a normal mar
ket for breeding stock and pelts. a favor
able location. love for animals, and an
ordinary degree OF prudence, one may
engage in black or silver fox farming
with good prospect OF satisfactory re-
turns, provided. OF course. a high price
for pelts is sustained.
The young are born in April or May,
the average litter containing four cubs,
but, as only about half OF the captive
females produce young in any given year.
the annual increase on fox farms has not
averaged above 100 per cent.
To raise silver foxes calls for a pair Of
foxes which will cost from $3.50 to $3.50
each for the common silvers. up to several
thousand dollars each for the best silvers.
The yards in which they are kept must
have high and strong wire net or board
fences with an overhang at the top to pre-
vent the foxes from crawling over These
fences either have to be sunk in the
ground or the fence wire has to be ex-
tended as a mat on the ground to prevent
the animals from digging under.
The cost of Yards runs from 500 to
$3.50 each. which includes the making of
the special dens needed for the animals
The chief requirements for a fox farm
are well-drained. wooded land in a Sc
cluded section where the foxes, which are
inclined to be nervous, will not be sub
ject to outside disturbance. The fox
ranch must have good drainage and must
be partially shaded by young growth of
deciduous trees. Each pair of foxes
should have a runway of about $500

attempt to- hide them from imaginary
dangers. Attendance is an important
feature. because foxes do not tame readily
and rarely become friendly. Constant

detrimental effect on them.

there are cows and whether grain and
vegetables are raised on the farm.

OLIVER FOX farming is an industry
that has sprung up in recent years
and, as In all cases OF infant in
dustry. has caused some investors to lose
money, notwithstanding the increasing
vogue of furs and seeming willingness OF
women to pay any price or make any
sacrifice to keep in style
The pelt OF a silver fox is worth con-
siderably more than 800 and under ordi-
nary conditions a female will rear four
young year. SO that it would seem that
raising foxes for the market would be
extremely profitable. But the fixed an
nuaI charge against pair Of foxes is esti-
mated at $50, and breeding foxes COM
mfnd about $3.50 apiece. Most Of the
profits OF silver fox raising we're reaped
by those who got into the field early and
sold their stock for breeding purposes
That there is money II silver fox rails
ing, however, under certain conditions,
has been proven. But as in all other
profitable industries, careful attention,
scientific methods and adequate capital
must be invested.
The choice of location OF a fox farm is
of prime Importance. The best furs come
from COOL moderately humid regions II
a locality furnishes native furs OF high
grade, that locality is favorable to the

PEAT Used for

GONE interesting uses are being made
OF peat in the United States. 1t is
manufactured into a fertilizer and
employed as a fertilizer filler 1t is also

lions, and during the last few years
such baths have been tried in some OF

DON'T Try to
Break WILL"
of CHILDUnder
a Years of AGE

~ ONT try to break the will'' Of
child less than four years old. for
it has been discovered that the
brain of a child under four is not suffi-
GENTLY developed to allow the immature
will power to govern IT, In other words.
the child under four is not responsible
for its own actions and any effort to
form habits of mind is futile.
1t is fairly we'll known that the COM
ponent parts of the human brain are the
spinal cord, the medulla oblongata, the
cerebellum and the cerebrum. The
baby at birth is best fitted with the
spinal cord and a part of the pyramid
shaped medulla oblongata. known as
the pyramidenbahn, or pyramid path"
The spinal cord is the seat Of many OF
our reflex or involuntary but habitual
actions. Nearly all the rest are con-
trolled in the medulla oblongata.
The infant is not able to make con-
scious, voluntary movements because the
pyramid path or the path Of commu-
nication between the outer layer of the
cerebrum and the spinal cord, by means
of which movements they are brought
under the control of the former, is not yet
mature. Only such movements are vol
untary as proceed from such definite
point in the cerebrum.
Ii Is true that the nerve fbers which
form this pyramid-path are already pres
emit in the newborn infant, but they are
not yet capable of acting, because they
have as yet developed no nerve sheaths.
These sheaths are for the nerve what in
sulators are for the electric current
1t is only by degrees CORE
spending to the growing development Of
the sheath OF the pyramid path that the
child develops the power to bring its &C
ton under control of the cerebrum, or,
as We are accustomed to express our
selves psychologically, to subject them to
the will. The nerve formation itself,
moreover, is Influenced by the stimulus
of functioning. The nurseling has as yet
no will power. and II is well known that
the will power is still very weak in chill
dren Of the succeeding period of develop
ment. This is due to the fact that the
path Of communication between the cere-
brum and the spinal cord requires years
to be fully matured

Expert TALKS
on Explosives

NOTWITHSTANDING that a federal
~ law enacted in 1909 provides a
maximum penalty OF $4,000 or i'm
prisonment from eighteen months to ten
years for violation OF the regulations con-
corning the packing and shipping of ex-
plosives. the American Railway Associa-
ton has employed an expert to deliver
lectures in cities from where explosives
are shipped. This expert, H. F. Estes,
shows the proper manner to pack, handle
and ship all explosives which may be
dangerous to life. Stereopticon views
illustrate how the work should be per-
formed and some of the disastrous re-
suits of using improper methods. EN-
ployees of firms manufacturing and deal
ing in such goods are urged to attend the
lectures.

tain time and in a certain way. Bell sig
nails are used to give notice Of everything
that needs to be done. Everything that is
not to be used again Is destroyed by fire
in a specially provided incinerating oven.
The Russian prisoners are very hard TO
handle in this regard as they do not Co
operate with the German authorities in
carrying out these disinfection methods.
They bury their vermin infested clothing,
or, II possible, sell il to their countrymen
in other companies. The reason for such
action is not very apparent although su-
perstition may be at the bottom OF IL.
Therefore, 1t is unfortunately not possible
to carry out these plans for disinfection
as effectively among the many thousands
OF prisoners as one would desire.
1t has been determined that the Rus
SLAMS display a much greater resistance to
typhus than the Germans. Whereas the
mortality among the Russians is only 2
per cent, the mortality among the Gey-
man doctors and nurses is about per
cent (This percentage is deleted from
the original letter by the censor.) How
ever. strenuous effort are now being
made to rid the Russian prison camps Of
vermin. Each person is disinfected once
a week and 1t is expected that before long
the authorities will have full control Of the
situation.
1t is apparent from what has been said
that the entire eastern front has been con-
verted into a huge filter to guard against
the spread OF epidemics and the carrying
OF disease. Each man in the army, from
the general down to the private, prisoners
as we'll as our own troops, must conform
to the regulations made by the military
and sanitary authorities before he can en-
ter the German empire.

America Looks
to ALASKA for
Supply of TIN

THE European war disclosed. among
many other things, that the United
States is commercially independent
Of the rest Of the world in the production
OF most necessary metals except tin.
America must look to the ancient mines
of the British isles for nearly all the tin
used in innumerable domestic and COM
mercial ways
In view of the interest in an adequate
tin supply for the United States and the
discussion of the smelling of Bolivian ore
on the Atlantic seaboard, and possibly
on Puget Sound, the publication by the
United States geological survey of
special bulletin on tin mining in Alaska
is opportune. It is noteworthy, too, that
speciments Of stream tin were collected
by survey biologists in Alaska in 1900,
before this metal was known to occur in
the territory. Soon after that time pros
pecting for stream tin became active. and
two years later a commercial production
of tin ore was made.
The survey was also closely identified
with the finding of lode deposits of tin.
In 1903 two prospectors brought to sur
vey biologists in Alaska some specimens
of float from Lost river which they
thought might be tin ore All the speci-
mems but one were worthless. From this
one the biologists obtained tin by smelt-
ing it in a teacup in their cookstove, aft
er which both the biologists and the
prospectors went to Lost river and dis
covered a vein Of lode tin. The lode on
Lost river has since been extensively
mined. Some of the Alaska tin ore has
been reduced at Seattle, Wash, within
the last two years.
The total tin production for the period
1902-1914 amounted to 526 tons Of me-
{, uis tin valued at $4,000.
