BREEDING STOCK AND
 EQUIPMENT

The number of foxes to be pur- chased to stock an island depends very largely upon the financial ability of the person engaging in the industry and upon the size of the island. Some island ranches of 100 or more acres have been started with only one or two pairs of breeders; but this is impractical, for the reason that much time is involved in waiting for a sufficient increase to permit the taking of pelts or the selling of breeding stock. A 50 to 100 acre island may ordinarily be stocked with 10 to 20 pairs o1 foxes. Good breeding stock can usually be purchased for $500 to $400 a pair.
 A moderate-sized dwelling of logs or frame construction for the caretaker and his family can be
Seward daily gateway., 1931-11-27

built for $500 to $2,o0o, depending largely on the cost of labor. Large islands sometimes require more than one dwelling to provide proper distribution of caretakers. A com bined feed, storage, and cook house frame construction, will cost $500 to $500. SmokehouseS cost $500 to $7OO, depending upon the plan. Trap-feed houses, which should be erected at numerous points about the island, cost $15 to $25 each, de- pending upon the quality of lum- Der used and the labor. Feed cook CTS can be constructed or pur- chased at a cost of $15 to $50 De- tention pens are necessary to. con- fine foxes during short periods for various purposes, and can be built for $25 to $50.
 A good, substantial boat is need ed to procure fish for feed, to feed the foxes, and to transport SUD- plies to and from the mainland or other points. The location of the island, harbor facilities, and the quantity of supplies to be trans ported will help determine the kind of boat to be purchased. A motor boat used for short, light hauls can be purchased for $500 to $1,000. A boat used for travers- ing long distances will cost $2,0o0 to $4,OOO.
Seward daily gateway., 1931-11-27
RANCH ORGANIZATION

The ranch site having been chos- en, consideration should be given to the location of the dwelling house, feed-storage, cook house, smokehouse, and and any other structure. For convenience, the dwelling should be as near as pos SSlble to the harbor or landing place In order to look after the foxes properly on large islands it may be necessary to construct one or more additional dwellings or cabins.
 The feed-storage shed also should Toe built near the dock in order to make the haul from the boat as short as possible. This structure may be of roughly cut timbers, log cabin style. For cleanliness and sanitation dressed lumber should be used when practicable. It is not essential to construct vatS in which 10 brine-cure or salt-pack fish. Limited quantities of fish can be -salted in barrels or tierces. A cut ting table or chopping block is an aid when dressing the fish as we'll as when cutting them into suitable sizes to feed.
 Most ranchers cook cereal with the fish at certain seasons of the year, and for this purpose build a caldron or a specially designed steam cooker either in the feed house or just outside. The steam cooker, although somewhat slower than direct-fire caldron, cooks the food more thoroughly and without burning or scorching it. Steam-pressure cookers of various sizes on the market hasten cooking and simplify the process.
 A smokehouse for smoking fish or other feed for the foxes should be erected in the vicinity of the feed-storage house. As dressed fish must be carried or otherwise con- veyed to the Smokehouse, distance is an item to be considered. The

size of the house depends upon. the
 quantity of feed required
 Foxes should not be killed and
 pelted in the building where feed
 is stored or prepared; if necessary, a special shed should be built for the purpose. Such use of the feed house would not be sanitary and, in addition, it would favor the chances of transmission of disease.
 Structures for temporary occu- pancy, such as are required for in jured, sick or newly purchased fox
 es, may be comparatively small. The style and method of construc- tion will depend upon the location and lay of the land. A temporary pen used for the purpose may be 10 feet long, six feet wide, and six feet high. A frame of two by four material is entirely covered by No. 15-guage wire netting of one and a half inch mesh, with small door in the front. AS the pen rests directly on the ground, it is we'll to cover the floor wire with sand or fine gravel and earth. This ma terial should be removed frequently and clean dirt substituted to pre- vent contamination A small nest box should be placed inside the pen, or outside and connected with it by a chute.

WHEN WINTER COMES

IS YOUR house packed to the caves with tremend- ous stores of flour meat . 7. clothing and other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
 Not very likely!
 But if not, won't you-like the butterfly that played all summer without thought of the cold days to come-wont you be in danger of facing famine, months before spring comes around again?
 Certainly not!
 When wintry winds are blowing their coldest, and the storm is waling like forgotten banshees the roof top the chances you may be eating juicy strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies against the barrenness of winter has gone forever. It has passed when America ceased to be lot of scattered communities, and became nation united by swift line of transportation.
 As you read the advertisements telling you just what the stores contain for you fresh to your order remember that here are the inexhautible store rooms of today storerooms that have banished forever the anxieties that went with the snows of yesteryear

 OvERPRODUCTIO|v
STOCKS OF MANUFACTURED : GOODS AT END FISCAL
 YEAR AKIN TO 1928

WASHINGTON, ID O., Dec. 3. (H) H. President Hoover received the cheering word that Americas bulg- ing warehouses are being relieved of the gut of overproduction of manufactures.
 This was shown in Secretary La mont's annual report. Stocks of manufactured goods had dwindled so at the end of the fiscal year that the situation was akin to 1928, giv- ing reason to expect increased bus mess.
 AS to raw materials, however, the Secretary of Commerce was unable to say the same. Surpluses in gen. eral were undiminished.
 MT. Hoover heard again that his moratorium proposal of last June had salutary effect on business sentiment in this country and abroad which was promptly re- flected in an upturn in commodity and security values"
 To measure industrial activity in this country, the Comerce Depart ment chief selected the Federal Reserve Boards index of produc- tion. It averaged 20 per cent less last fiscal year than in the one be- fore, and 25 per cent below the unprecedented volume of 1928-29.
 But despite the abnormal busi- ness situation, Mir Lamont em- phasized, industrial production for the year ended June 30 was of greater volume than in 1920 and 1922, "and 31 per cent more than that of the same month of 1930
 During the past fiscal year the Department of Commerce index of domestic raw material stocks av- eraged "A per cent larger than in the preceding year, while the index for June 1881 was IT per cent above that Of the same month Of1930.
 "The situation with respect to stocks of manufactured goods is much more satisfactory" the re- port said. After rising above pre- depression levels during the fiscal year 192S-30 the index has since turned downward and at the end of the past fiscal year was about six per cent below the preceding year and at the same level as in June 1928"
 The Secretary found foreign trade not so bad as indicated by dollars and cents values. Exports were 34 per cent lower in dollar values and imports 37 per cent under the previous year on June 30, but studies of the Department showed that the actual volume of exports was down only 29 per cent. Despite the decreases, exports were two per cent above the 1922-26 Q vnroo oo

 QUESTION AT SESSION

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 3. (P) Confident that the Drys will still hold control of the Senate and the House, Congressional leaders agreed 10 the demands of the Vets for 9 vote on the prohibition question at this session.
 On the Senate side is Senator Watson of Indiana, Republican leader, and Senator William E. Bo- rah, of Idaho, prohibition stalwart, who expressed their willingness for an early showdown on the question:
 Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, prospective Democratic leader, and Bertrand Shell, speaker nominee of the Republicans, said that the new house will face the issue directly.
 Representative J. Charles Linthi- cum, Maryland Democrat, and a leader of the House Wet bloc, claims that there will be 150 votes calling for repeal in the House and that this is the largest number of votes calling for such action yet,
 It has not been decided as to what kind of a proposal the Vets will press Congress to vote upon
