Refuses to Pay Fine.

Justice Garrett overruled the motion
Of Attorney Garrett. adjudged Admiral
Kane guilty and imposed a nne of IS
and costs. which amounted to a little
more than IS. Admiral Kane refused
to pay the fine and costs and Justice
Garrett prepared a commitment to jail
and placed it in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Bottlemay.
Admiral Kane and the others Of his
party, Attorney Garrett and Deputy
Bottlemay came to Rockville in the
admirafs machine. Upon reaching here
habeas corpus proceedings were i'm
mediately instituted by Attorney Gar
rett. and Admiral Kane was taken be-
fore Judge Edward c. Peter in the cir
cult court. Judge Peter set the case
for hearing at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning and released Admiral Kane
on his personal recognizance for his
appearance in court at that time.
AT the hearing Tuesday Judge Peter
will be asked to pass upon the question
as to the validity of the Gaithersburg
ordinance. Should he sustain the
validity of the ordinance, an appeal to
the circuit court from Justice CARROTS
decision finding Admiral Kane guilty
will be taken, in which event the case
will be tried on it's merits in the cir
cult court.

No other evidence was heard but

DOMESTICATINC
OF The MINK
Habits and Requirements of
This Valuable Fur Bearer
Successfully Reared in
Confinement.

One of the first American fur bear
ers to be tested as to its fitness for do
mestication was the mink, an animal
which has long been renowned for the
beauty and durability of it's fur. 1t
is found wild throughout Canada,
Alaska, and all but the arid south
western portion of the United States.
The ming has been bred in confine-
ment, sporadica1Iy, for upward of SO
years; but only recently, since it has
become quite scarce in the wild state
and the value of it's pelt correspond
ingly increased, has a general and sys-
tematic attempt been made to add it
to our stock of domestic animals
Varieties.
There are no less than 10 varieties
of minks in North America. besides
several others in Asia and Europe,
which differ from one another in size,
color, and softness of fur. BY this
it is evident that the mink is a p1as-
tie animal, capable of being nodded
into improved strains by selective
breeding, a very important quality for
animals that are to be dom esticated.
There is, indeed, every reason to be-
lieve that by beginning with the two
or three largest, darkest, and finest
furred kinds of wild mink, an animal
eventually can be produced much SUI
perior to any of those now existing.
Upon these premises the Biological
Survey and the Smithsonian Institu-
ton have been cooperating in expert
ments with Kninks at the National Zee
logical Park, Washington, d. c., for
the past three years. Considerable
information about the behavior, breed
ing habits, diseases, and natural re-
quirements of he animals has resulted
At first it was quite difficult to pro-
cure breeding stock. Wild minks
were scarce, and of the few that were
caught a large proportion soon died
from injuries or exposure. Lately,
however, it has been possible to buy
ranch-raised rninlxs, which are prefer
able to wild stock, being better con-
tented and less likely to be infested
with internal parasites.
Food and General Habits.
I Although habitua1Iy carnivorous
when wild, rninks quickly learn to eat
many things not on their regular bill

of fare. A litter of young ones ia
ken from their mother when weeks
old and raised with a kitten of the
same age developed rapidly on a cook
ed ration consisting of oatmeal, corn
meal, and rice, with a small proper
ton OF befe that had been boiled and
ground. AT first they Were fed ex-
clusively on milk, and this was used
to some extent throughout an expert
ment lasting year. While it is thus
evident that rninks can be fed on a
diet that consists largely of vegetable
matter, it has also been demonstrated
that hey can be kept eq ual1y well on
raw mea, or meat and fish. The
kind of food is of much less irnpor-
lance than it's condition. Meat that
has begun to decay that has been
derived from diseased animals should
not be used. Horse flesh, chicken
heads, or other inexpensive meat,
when obtainable, can be fed with less
labor than cereals. NIinks are fond
of sweet milk, and it may be fed
quite largely in connection with eth
err meat or cooked cereals.
Minks climb trees and other objects
having rough surfaces, though appa-
rently they are not quite at ease when
off the ground. They can spring up
ward to height Of nearly feet, and
they did in the earth with facility.
Unlike rodents, they can not gnaw fiat
surfaces, Yet when trying to escape
they make considerable headway in
cutting away exposed edges of soft
wood. They are very active when
hungry. On the other hand, when
hunger is satisfied they crawl into
their nests and sleep till their stom-
achs are again empty. So profound
ly do they sleep when gorged with
good that they may even be handled
without being Immediately awakened.
While young they like to play with
on another, but later in life they are
Quarrelsome, particularly at meal
times, and are best kept separated ex-
cept during the mating season.
Enclosures and Dens.
Enclosures for minks include run
ways, which need not exceed 16 or
20 square feet in area, and dens, which
afford sleeping quarters and shelter.
The runways are variously construct
ed, and may be of 1-inch mesh No.
J 4 wire, of galvanized poultry netting,
of galvanized sheet iron, or of smooth
boards set on end. When netting is
us ed, it covers top, bottom, and sides.
Board or sheet-iron walls extend 2
feet into the ground and turn inward
a foot at the bottom. Covered rum
ways need not be more than a foot
high. Those open at the top are built
