KEEP WATER VESSELS CLEAN
Coolers Should Be Of Such Material as
Porcelain or Enameled Ware
ScaId Often.

The greatest care is required to keep
household water vessels clean and In
good condition. Water coolers should
be of some material, such as porcelain
or enameled ware, which is easily kept
clean. They should be scalded at fire.
quent intervals. The ice, If 1t comes
in contact with the water, should be of
known quality. Doubtful ice should
be kept from contact with the water.
Many families cool drinking water by
putting it in the ice box in glass fruit
jars or bottles.
Where it Is believed or known that
the water supply is not pure, filter
should be used. If a filter Is used,
every precaution should be taken to
keep it clean and in good condition,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture specialists suggest. An earthen-
ware filter may be cleaned by thorough
scrubbing with brush. Then it should
be placed in pan or kettle of water
and boiled. A small piece of wood
should be placed under the jar to pre-
vent direct contact with the heated bot
tom Of pan.

1t is not economy to use poorly
made soap, which may contain free
grease or an excess of lye, or both.
This is sometimes the case with home
made soaps, but need not be SO if good
directions (for example, those that
come with the commercial lye in tin
cans) are carefully followed. Making
a soap at home may not be good econo-

the fat would otherwise be thrown

Dirt is removed more quickly and

colored and delicate fabrics If the soap
is well dissolved in the water, rather
than rubbed on Many housekeepers
use a solution or jelly made by heating
one pound of soap in five gallons OF

water to make suds. A more economi-

convenient for use in the boiler, the

some are retailed in small packages.
Cake soap can be rubbed into chips on

Dye soaps are supposed to clean and

ever, before using the dye soap, to
wash the garment clean with white soap
and water. The best results come from
dipping a garment in a generous guam
tity of water TO which the tint has been
added. The color is always fainter af-
ter drying than while the garment Is
wet. The tlnting is usually not perma-
snent and the process should be repeat

inal combine the business of
breeding grew steadily on Prince
Edward Island. At present there
are more than 300 ranches in the
province. Persons employed num-
bered about 5000. During 1921
pelts sold for the aggregate sum
of S1,240,000. This is in addition
to the value of the animals sold
for breeding stock for which the
figures are not available. The in

exists in nearly all the provinces
Of Canada, and in the United
States is found in practically every

her excitement and as quickly as
possible he gets a live chicken or
pigeon, Wrings it's neck and losses
1t to the vixen. The rending of
warm flesh affords an outlet for
the viXen's irritableness and
quiets the nervous condition, so
that she can give attention to the
puppies. In a few days the closed
runWays are opened and the fox
family circle restored. From then
on the fox and vixen find their
time fully and joyfully occupied.
After the birth of the litter, the
need for the third den becomes
apparent. AS soon as possible, the
caretaker lifts the top of the
large den to count the litter and
to put the den in a sanitary con-
dition. This act arouses the sus-
picion Of the vixen. She seems to
feel that the entire world has been
let IN on the secret of the loca-
ton Of her wonderful new family
and decides to hide them anew.
The third den offers a convenient
hiding place. Without it, the
vixen would undoubtedly attempt
to dig out a den for hiding her
puppies which might result in the
death Of some from exposure.
Foxes are fed chiefly with cere-
ais and milk, the old ones receiv-
ing meat twice daily. The meat,
chiefly beef, with occasional al
lowances Of poultry, is fed clean
and sweet though mostly a little
tough, and at no time are scraps
and remnants allowed to remain
about the pen. The eating and
drinking vessels for the foxes are
kept Immediately clean and every
precaution taken to keep the liv-
ing quarters sanitary. The silver
black will eat almost anything and
thrive under any conditions but

slsts of pure bred animals t axe

not realize the fact that by giving
the news to- the world they would
reap a much greater reward thru
the sale of the animals for breed
ing purposes.
The secret finally leaked out.
This one was disclosed by the
sudden abnormal prosperity of
the three friends. The drafts re-

which aroused a lively curiosity.

furs, and various willy stratagems
to defeat the curiosity and suspic-
ion of their native community.
Finally, the knowledge was shared
and three backwoodsmen became
milionaires, fathers Of a new in
dustry. The demand for foxes as
breeders became acute. Prices
went from $1,000 to as high as
$4,000 for one pair of breeding
animals.
These were boom days when
owners Of one pair of foxes
could form company, capitalize
ing the pair for 100000 or more
and have the stock oversubscribed
IN few hours. Many such COM
panies were launched, some sur
vived, but others smashed when
the prices suddenly declined.

$4,000 a pair.
The most significant angle Of
the story Of the rise Of fox farm
ing to the position of a profitable
industry of national scope is that
it heralds the return to this coun-
try Of one Of Americas chief
sources of wealth, furs. Furs were
wealth. Furs were money. Furs
were credit. Furs were commerce.
But ruthless exploitation combined
with the rapid settlement of the
country practically eliminated the
wild fur bearer, and now comes
a newer generation to foster and
restore another of Americas nat
ural resources.

registration. Instead of pelts tax
