foxes is clipped off, and the ani- mals are then dipped in a solu- ton of creolin to rid them of fleas.
 Should the foxes show any tendencies. to be quarrelsome. their canine teeth are nipped off short, this being easily done by the aid of a pair of bone forceps. l cut the canine teeth of all the foxes under my care. 1t does not appear to have any harmful effect upon them, and will pre- vent the loss of some of them through fighting. After the first of January they should never be handled, and they must be kept as contented as possible until the breeding season is over. Also, it is of the utmost importance that strangers keep away from the vicinity of the fox ranch during the critical period.
 In fox raising it is necessary to keep records showing the results of breeding. The animals are registered with the Provincial Game Warden, each having a name and value placed beside it, and returns are sent in once a year stating results of breeding.
 The effects of different kinds of food on the fur is carefully noted, and a life history of each fox is recorded. A cost account ing sheet is kept, just like a fac tory, and everything in connee- tion with raising furs is shown.
 I hope this letter will be of in- terest to your readers. During my stay in Wrangell, 1 found it a pleasure to answer all of the very intelligent questions regarding the fox industry. While I do not claim to be an expert on foxes, have picked up a few pointers On the industry, as a result of my own experiments; and should any one contemplate taking up the raising business, l shall gladly endeavor to be of some help and give further particulars.
 Yours very truly,
 Frederic E. Blitz.

 sential that these dens be properly constructed, being built in such a manner as to exclude moisture, deaden sounds, and protect the delicate young foxes from the extremes of heat and cold. When the cubs are born. the vixen is unusually nervous and likes to hide her young, and should she be disturbed or excited in any manner, before the young are a month old she will be in such a state of apprehension for the safety of her little ones that often times she will carry them around the enclosure for hours at time, and will finally bury them. It is necessary not to touch the fox dens after the first of January until after the young foxes are a month old. The foxes begin to mate early in February, the young being born about the latter part of March. The young foxes when born, are covered with black, downy fur and the red, black, and cross cubs are all black until they are few days old, when the reds and crosses commence to change to a dark shade of brown. The young foxes are blind for about three weeks and are weak and helpless until they are a month old when they commence to appear outside of their den. It is great fun to watch the little foxes when they are just able to toddle around and it is a happy day for the parent foxes when the youngsters first venture out side the den. Not a movement escapes the attention of the watchful parents, ever on the alert for danger. A sharp bark from them and the playful cubs will scamper into their dens. re- maining there until the old foxes give a signal to them that it is safe to venture forth again.
 A pair of black foxes when mated will always produce black offspring; and a pair of red foxes will produce red cubs, with oc- casionally one or more of the litter black or cross specimens. With the cross foxes the results are uncertain and from year to year the filters will vary; the young may be all crosses, or there may be distinct individuals ofthe three color phases. Foxes breed only once a year, and the number of young in a litter will vary from one to twelve.
 The food for foxes includes a wide variety, the important point about feeding being to give them we'll balanced ration. In the summer l feed salmon, biscuits and milk, well-cooked porridge. grass, berries, carrots and tur- nips; occasionally small birds, squirrels, mice and rabbits. Some fox farmers believe in skinning the birds and rabbits; but ] find that it is accessory for the foxes to have certain portion of feathers and fur with their food. as it is essential for a bird to swallow grit. In the winter months the diet for the foxes is composed mainly of meat and dried fish. To supply the foxes with meat there is always a plentiful supply of horses, old Worn- out animals that will not be of further use as pack animals. I also supplement this diet of fish and meat with porridge and milk. The young foxes are fed a little ground bone with their food, and also some limewater is given with their milk. They are fed all they will eat; when they are older it is not well for their fur to make them too fat. The young foxes are weaned when they are about one month old as it is easier to

Candidates Here Last Week

Three candidates put in an ap-
pearance here last Friday and
spent most of the day mingling
with our citizens in search of
votes. They were:
Hon. j. HI. Lancaster of Bar
tow, candidate for state auditor
Hon. j. A. Timberlake of Area
dia, candidate for state attorney
for the tenth judicial district, and
Hon. s. w. Lawler, jr., of Fort
Myers, candidate for the same of
fee.
All three are very pleasant and
capable gentlemen and each, no
ioubt, will get many votes.
Col. Undertake has his an
nouncement in this paper, to
which public attention is invited.
He is DeSoto county's only candi-
date for states attorney, and nat
urally he expects an almost solid
vote in DeSoto. AS Polk has the
Judgeship, she ought to be willing
for DeSoto to have the state s at
torneyship.

Division Candidate Announced

Hon. Wilbur w. Hhitehurst OF
Wauchula, has definitely an
nounced his candidacy for the leg
islature and is now making a can
vass of the county. He is running
on county division platform, the
division proposed by him being
the same as that advocated by Col.
| G. G, Morgan of Fort Ogden, viz
Two counties in the east with cap
itals at Sebring and Moore Haven
respectively, and three counties in
the west with their capitals To-
Gated respectively at Wauchula,
Arcadia and Punta Gorda.
This division surely ought to
please all dissatisfied elements
and, if accomplished, it will result
in great good to the people of all
of the five counties,
Besides county division, Mr..
Whitehurst stands for several 9TH
er highly important measures
looking to the best interests of the
people. AS to these, he will speak
in detail during his campaign over
the county.
Mr.. Whitehurst is too well
known throughout the county to
need any introduction or recon-
mendation from The Herald. A
young and brilliant lawyer, bless
ed with laudable ambition to
render valuable service to the
state and county and having an
unblemished character, if elected
to the legislature, as he is almost
sure to be, he can be depended up
on to do all in his power to pro-
mote the moral and material inter-
ests not only of DeSoto county,
but of the whole state. And i'll
anything in this behalf can be ac-
complished, he has the ability and
determination to do it.
The Herald cordially favors his
candidacy and earnestly hopes
that he will be nominated and e.
lected.
His card appears in the proper
place IN the announcement col
umn of this paper. Every voter
should read it attentively.
