MATING

fully as possible the nature of the uninks to be mated by watching their actions. Animals of approXi- lnately the same age should be paired Males should be placed near or next to the females with which they are to be mated, so that they can see each other through the wire and become acquainted When the mating season arrives and the pair is placed together, the animals should be observed to de- termine accurately and quickly whether they will live together peaceably. A decision one way or the other, in some instances, may be reached in a few hours, but it may take days or even a week in others. If minks are inclined to get along well together, the breeder may expect successful outcome. Failure to choose mates properly by careful selection and observation may result in the loss of a valuable breeding animal.
 The male mink can be turned through a chute into the females pen, or he can be caught in the nest box or in a special catching box and carried to her pen. A mat ing may take place in from 30 min utes to an hour. An aggressive male will pursue his mate and at tempt to serve her if she is in heat. He will generally make clucking noise and she will do likewise. Leave them together for a day or two if they live peaceably If the female is in heat, she will not strongly resist service; but if fight ensues, the pair should be separated and not placed together again for about five days
 FEEDING
 The food of minks in captivity consists chiefly of meat and fish, and these elements should form 60 10 70 per cent of the ration Beef, beef livers and hearts, horse meat, and pig livers and hearts are rel 1shed by minks, as also are fresh fish, such as perch, suckers, and minnoWs. Grinding the meat and fish will prevent the animals from carrying quantities of food to the nest box and contaminating it. The meat and fish can be mixed to- gether before feeding. For young nlinkS some cooked cereals mixed with milk make an excellent feed. Each animal will consume three to five ounces at one meal, depending upon it's appetite and condition. It IS best to feed little twice daily and at regular intervals. As a rule, young minks will consume more than old ones. Minks in captivity are very active and do not take on fat readily
 After the young are born the female should be given a liberal portion of we'll cooked oatmeal and gnilk for the morning feed and the meat ration in the evening. When Ghe young are about three weeks old they will eat what the mother takes to them in the nest When four weeks old they will begin to Seek food for themselves.
 Minks are usually Weaned when 10 weeks of age by removing the mother from their pen When there is a large litter, and some of the young have developed much faster than their mates, it is advisable to separate the larger animals when seven or eight weeks old. The young grow very fast, and as they consume food readily they must be fed lib- erally. The female generally eats very little day or two before and after the young are born. After she is separated from the young she should be given liberal rations So that she can rebuild to normal condition. Exceptionally thin fe-

assistance in some form. It is esti-
mated that 1855 families in the two

ton, Shepard said.
Facing increasing distress with the
approach of colder weather, both
states moved onward in their COM

BEAR SALES AWAIT
SENATE'S INQUIRY
Two Copper Bills Designed to
Regulate Short Operations
Are on File.

BY the Associated Press
Two Senate committees which have
before them measures for the regula-
tion OF short selling on exchanges will
have an opportunity this session to in
quire into bear operations,
Both proposals are sponsored by Sen
ator Capper Of Kansas, who seeks
through one to place short selling regu-
latiOnS under supervision of the Federal
Trade Commission, and through the
other would impose a special tax on all
short-sale profits.
The regulatory measure is in the
hands of the Banking and Currency
Committee, which is the one most in
terested in such practices. The tax
measure is to be passed on by the
Finance Committee. Capper views short
sales as constituting a burden and a
danger to banking and commerce as
well as public interest.
His principal proposal is to prohibit
short sales, subject to minor exceptions.
unless the seller or agent furnishes a
signed statement fully explaining the
transaction, which is to be posted and
published by the Stock Exchange Copv
of this record would be kept at least two
years for inspection by the Trade Com
mission.
Exchanges or members not complying
would be prohibited by law from OBJ
tanning bank loans and other enforcing
powers would be given the Trade Com
mission.
The Capper tax plan would impose a
25 per cent levy on all short-sale profits
beginning with this year. It would an
ply to profits on all classes Of securities
thus handled.
