Care of Mother Foxes.

1t is only in the mating and pupping
season that the fox is kept in Sc
clusion and outsiders barred from the
ranches. DR.. E. A. Randall of Truro,
Nova Scotia, an old fox farmer, says:
"After foxes have mated and have
been separated the ranchman makes
daily visits to the female pen, opens
it every day and shuts her in the house
every night. She becomes accustomed
to these visits and shows very little
fear or nervousness. Pups are due in
81 or 50 days after mating. When the
pups have arrived the female is kept
confined in the breeding pen for three
days, at the end of which time she be-
comes attached to it and does not
want to carry her pups out.
IF for any reason the pups are not
thriving the female is examined and
if her milk has dried up, which some
times happens, the pups are taken
away and reared by cats, who do not
in the slightest object to such strange
little kittens At the end of the eighth
week the pups are taken from the
mother and placed IN the pen by them
selves, to be fed sparingly of food. but
when six months old they Will be tax
ing more food than the old foxes.
THE feeding of the foxes is a very
interesting and essential part of their
care. The fox does not rank high
in an epicurean sense. He is not at
all fastidious as to the quality of his
food but it is regarded as essential
to the health of. the little animals
that they, should have variety In
some cases horse meat is fed but beef
is preferred. The meat of rabbits is
regarded as delicacy and the ranch
ers buy up all that can be obtained"
The Colpitts ranch last winter paid
out more than $4,000 for rabbits shared
in this province. and also imported
several carloads from the West. a
part of the fox ration is coarse
bread made of cornmeal or flour and
bran. with a generous supply of fat.

of the aristocratic black and silver

G....-.dls having become an alluring
and lucrative industry in various parts
OF this country. 1t is very doubtful If
California had anything on fox ranch
ing when, in 40, the blast of her siren
call resounded from coast to coast,
and men became gold-mad in their
frenzy to get rich quick"
The province of New Brunswick
claims the honor of possessing the
largest fox ranch in the world. This
ranch is situated on the Little River,
15 miles from the city of MOnctOn. In
1913 the COIpitts brothers, who then
were farmers living III sparSely set
tied agricultural district, saw great
possibilities in fox ranches and used
to their advantage knowledge of the
habits of wild animals acquired in
hunting and trapping in earlier days.
Theirs was a modest venture of
single pair of foxes, while today they
are the proud pOssessors of more than
OIlc IlOuSClllO oPdA bAAS viz
ones numbering 600, thus placing this
ranch as the largest single ranch in
the world. 1t may be of interest to
follow the evolution and workings of
this ranch. Besides the main COlpitts
ranch, the Little River valley is dotted
with smaller ranches, in all Of which
they have an interest. The largest of
these smaller ranches is the Anglo
American, with about 300 foxes. All
the foxes in these ranches are of the
silver black strain and nearly all of
them from the original COlpittS pair.
Foxes breed but once year, reported
cases of more frequent breeding being
not well authenticated. LitterS of five,
six and even seven pups are not un-
common, although the usual number is
four and five.
Ranches IncIosed in Wire.
The modern fox ranch at a distance
resembles wartime ENHANCEMENT, be-
ing built entirely of heavy wire net
ting, seven or eight feet high, with
an Overhang to prevent the foxes from
making their escape into the open or
from getting from one to another. For
merly the ranches were inclOsed by
high board fence with wire inside to
prevent the foxes from burrOwing
holes and thus making their escape.
The idea was to keep the foxes from
view because Of their timid and sus-
piciOuS nature.
The best ranches, however, have dis
carded the high board fence and Wis
itUrs are allowed not only to see from
the outside but are taken through the
ranches and into the pens right among
the foxes. The COlpitts ranch covers
several acres the great inclosure be-
ing divided into hundreds of pens, each
provided with a wooden box for shell
ter and breeding pen. The fox likes
the open and plays and runs about,
climbing the wire netting and other
wise dispOrting himself, except in hot
or wet weather, when he seeks shell
ter. They do not mind the cold and
with the temperature below zero will
remain out in the open without the
slightest sign of discomfort. AS
matter of fact they appear TO enjoy
the extreme cold.

Business Disaster
Seen for Is Years
in Pending Tariff

Washington. May 12.-Prediction
that, if passed in its present form,
the administration tariff bill would
lead the business of the country into
a debacle from which it would require
a quarter Of a century to rescue it,
was made in the senate by Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina. leader in
the democratic fight against the bill.
Senator Simmons statement was
made at the conclusion of an attack
on the measure. in the course of which
he read additional editorials from re-
publican newspapers attacking them.
He declared that the measure was
drawn "in the interests of profiteers,
spectators and the rich and overlooks
the rights of the people,"
II am charged with filibustering,"
said Senator Simmons, because ! do
sit down here quietly and meekly
permit them (the republicans) to pass
these items one after another"
Denying that he was conducting a
fihbuster, Senator Simmons said he
was simply trying to let the people
know what was in the bill and added:
Il have advised senator's on this
side that we ought to make our posi-
ton clear to the country. and as soon
as we have done that. if these gentle
men persist, let them pass the bill
although we disapprove it. We will

The board announced that l. was

Touches on Wilma.

Genoa, May 12.-Great Britain has
proposed a truce in eastern Europe
on the basis of defacto frontiers, pend
ing the conclusions of inquiry to be
appointed, it is announced.
The Polish delegation declared that
if discussion of the Wilma and Galicia
questions were insisted upon the Pol
ish representatives would withdraw
from the conference.
Foreign Minister Bennes. of Czecho-
Slovakia, speaking in the name of the
little entente, expressed the opinion
that the conference must be adjourned
within a few days, or follow the French
proposal to appoint an international
committee Of finances on which Russia
would not be represented. to consider
financial problems. This must be done,
he said, in such a way as to avoid
complications in order not to embitter
the Russian situation.
The Genoa conference will support
the pope's claims regarding freedom
of worship and religious education in
Russia. Monsignor Pizzardo. deputy
secretary of state for the vatican, has
been assured by word for Rome. This
leaves aside the question of restitution
of church property. as any action on
this subject by the conference, it is
said. might be interpreted as interior
ing in Russia's internal affairs.
Pope Plus, it is said, probably will
appoint a special envoy TO Russia to
assist in settling all questions concern
ing Catholics.

Italy Wants to Be Sure
It's Interests Will Be

Genoa, May 12.-(By The Associated
ress.)-Consideration of a League of
Nations protectorate for Albania was
suddenly blocked at Friday morning.
public session of the council of the
league when Marquis Imperiali, of
Italy, informed the members, just be-
fore the opening, that Italy could not
consent to such drastic supervision of
the affairs of Albania by the league
without first being assured that Italy,
vital interests in that country would
be safeguarded. The members hur-
riedly conferred and decided to post
pone consideration of the subject a
few days in the hope of meeting the
Italian objection.
In pointing out the need of supervi-
sion of Albania by the league, the Earl
of Balfour said the leagues work there
already had pacified a corner of Eu-
rope which had been rapidly becoming
a scab and the potential source of an
other war. No other machinery could
have carried out this work, he declared.
and the league by its Intervention had
disposed of Il question which had been
agitating the world since 1913.
The League of Nations. added Lord
Balfour, had entirely cleared Albania
of Serbian troops and the ountr had
been placed in a position where, with
the aid of foreign capital, it could take
its place among the nations of the
earth.

PERIL
Of GERMANY IS
WORLD PECTER
Charge Lang Shows I'M
minence of Collapse
Under Preparations.

Philadelphia, May 12.-Impartial ex-
perts agree hat the only hope of eco
nomic construction for Germany lies
in a speedy and considerable reduc-
ton of the exaggerated reparations
payments, and the deferment Of all
such payments for "at least a number
of years." Karl Lang. German charge
d'affairs, declared in an address here
before the American academy of politi-
cal and social science.
In this first public utterance since
arriving in this country last fall as the
German diplomatic representative,
Charge Lang added that an equally
important essential to Germany's eco
nomic recovery was the negotiation of
an international loan. In this. he said,
Germany hoped the United States
would take part" for sit seems that
a collapse of Germany and, consequent
ly. of other European nations, is newt
able if the United States continues to
stand aside"
Prosperity All Absorbed
The real truth about the so much
talked of prosperity in Germany" Mr..
Lang said, is that it is to q very great
extent absorbed in a two-fold manner
n~on-existent before the war: First, by
reparation payments and, second, by
the Increased imports of foodstuffs,
owing to the decline of German agri-
culture" caused by the war. The labor
of millions of German men and women
must go to offset these conditions, the
speaker said, and thus yields no profit
to the nation.
Added to the economic crisis which
he said Germany faces, Mr.. Lang esti-
mated that since the signing of the
Versailles treaty, the wealth of the
German people had been cut down by
approximately 45 billion gold marks,
exclusive of the lost colonies and ceded
territory. More than II billions of this
amount, he said. was in German prop
erty appropriated abroad.
Higher Taxes Even Fall
Tax levies in Germany. the speaker
said, are higher than in any other
European country and it is likely that
higher rates would bring no greater
revenue, but result only in business de-
preston.
'The reparations budget" the speak
er concluded, cannot be balanced at
all under the present conditions.
