HINTS ON THE CARE OF OFFERS

| perimentS in breeding, feeding, and handling otters in captivity, the problem of whether they can be raised on a commercial scale is still to be solved. A generation ago fur producers seemed optimistic on the future of otter ranching, though few of the animals that have been kept in confinement in geological parks for exhibition purposes have produced young. Under exhibition conditions, w h the disturbance caused by the presence of visitors, Iotters apparently do not have the ,seclusion they require for breeding. Tn the one or two instances that young were born they did not live to maturity Perhaps under favor able surroundings otters can be raised profitably, but prolonged ex- perimentS must be conducted before their production in captivity can be recommended definitely as 8 prom iSing industry
 TRAITS
 OtterS are playful, docile, and in- telligent. Many individuals held in confinement show attachment for their keepers and come when called. Water is necessary for their we'll being, as they are perfectly adapt ed for swimming, although they sometimes travel overland for con- siderable distances.
 FOOD
 Wild otters subsiSt mainly on fishes, frogs, crawiishes, and other aquatic creatures. When these fail they sometimes kill warm -blooded animals Young Otters have been raised in confinement on a diet of milk and cornmeal mush, supple mented by fish or meat as they mo tured A reliable source CT frc ll fish obtainable at slight cost i3 -- Sential to success in raising Ottera.
 BREEDING
 In the northern States otterS probably mate in February. The young are born about two months later and are mature when one year old. The number in a litter ranges from one to five
 ENCLOSURE
 The size of an otter yard should not be less than 12 by 20 feet. It should contain a pool Of clear wa ter two or three feet deep, fed from a constant source, and sufficient dry land for exercise for the anil mals and for placing the den.
 The fence may be built of upright | boards, galvanized sheet iron, or tWo-inch mesh, 14-guage wire net ting. It's height must be three and a half feet greater than the max imum depth of snow. An inward nOrlZOnCal OVernang or SneeC Iron one foot wide must be provided at the top of the fence, and the bot tom should extend into the ground one and half feet.
 The den, two feet wide, two feet high, and five or six feet long, l should be tightly built to exclude drafts. The entrance should be near the end of one of the sides It is important to construct dens so they may be opened from time to time for disinfection, and they should be wholly within the inclos- H--------------------- r
