serious at this time of year. When sorted out 
they bring from 30 to 40 per cent less than full 
sizes. Some shippers still follow the old plan 
of’ mixing them, hoping that the big ones will 
sell the little ones, but these are discounted 
fully as much, probably more in the majority of 
cases, because of the nuisance of having to sort 
them out. Hotel trade cannot use pullet eggs 
in table orders, except for omelets. On the 
whole producers will do better in both reputa¬ 
tion and returns by separating the small eggs 
and notifying the receiver where "

Barreled apples are in moderate supply and 
t.he better grades are held high. Receipts of 
boxed apples from the West are so large that 
Pr-ces are proportionately lower than for East¬ 
ern fruit. Last year speculators in Western 
apples lost heavily by holding too long 
figuring on unloading more rapidly.

Bears on Icebergs 
1 he New York Herald prints what it 
$ays is a true story which sounds like 
one of the old fairy tales. It seems that 
on a dark and foggy night a large 
steamer rammed into the side of an 
iceberg with such force that an over¬ 
hanging part of this icreberg broke 
oF and fell upon the ship. It smashed 
into the deck and slid off without inflict¬ 
ing a wound deep enough to sink the 
vessel. One of the sailors went forward 
to investigate and found a good-sized 
polar bear waiting for him. He turned 
and ran back for shelter, and the bear 
followed him for a short distance. Then 
it. stopped, looked about and investigated 
Apparently satisfied that he was in the 
wrong place, the bear jumped into the 
water and swam back into the iceberg. 
This hear had evidently been carried • 
away mi the iceberg when it broke away 
from its fastening in the North, and he 
had slowly drifted with it down to the 
ocean. He probably heard the noise made 
by the steamer, and had come to the edge 
of the iceherg to investigate. The chunk 
upon which he was standing fell upon 
the vessel, carrying the bear with it. It 
is not uncommon for seamen to report 
cases where they have observed these 
bears drifting down the coast on icebergs. 
What becomes of them when the ice 
finally melts is never known. Probably 
some of them are able to swim ashore'; 
others are no doubt drowned when the 
iceberg finally melts, but what a theme 
for a story this incident would give I 
Some author might let his imagination 
run riot and develop such a scene Most 
us who read it. would enjoy the thrill 
which it gave us. and then" say it could 
not be true. I 11 the present case, how- 
ever. the strange tale was a true incident 
which actually happened.

Notes on Fox Farming 
The following article was printed 
The Fur Trade Review: 
The .following very interesting letter 
Mr. S. Coll of Ridgetown, Ontario. ... 
regard to bis experience in raising litters 
of young foxes on cats was published 
recently in the Black Fox Magazine. lie 
says: “I have one cat that raised six 
fi>x pups this season, they being two lots 
of three each. Last season I tried rais¬ 
ing them in this way, but I lost the litte-. 
This year I had one litter of five, which 
the mother fox could not supply with 
enough milk, so I put three of the pups 
with a cat. and she brought them up suc¬ 
cessfully. When they were about 25 
days old I weaned them, and have another 
litter horn at this time. I put three 
more fox pups with this cat, and she 
raised them all. 
“There is an adjusting period for the 
pups, from the fox to the cat; as the 
pups cannot get the milk from the cat as 
fast as from the mother fox, they work- 
very hard, and use their feet a lot, and 
their toe nails are very sharp; therefore 
they make the cat’s breast very sore, at 
Past the first three did. I cut their nails 
off. and that made it better, and in a 
couple of days they were settled down 
and got along all right. 
“Some have claimed you would have to 
wean the pups when about three weeks 
old. as their teeth are long and sharp; 
but we have had them nurse until they 
were six weeks old. and did not seem to 
hurt the cat. 
“Regarding feeding in the mornings. I 
feed to those going to have young and 
those that have young, until they are 
grown up, a quantity of milk, with eggs 
beaten up. with stale white bread, when 
I can get it, or oatmeal porridge, or 
bread I make with a little cornmeal. oat¬ 
meal, bran and feed flour, with some 
shortening mixed with sour milk and 
soda. 
“In the evening I feed beef tripe about 
three times a week, beef two or three 
times a week, and oatmeal porridge with 
milk twice a week, and milk every eve¬ 
ning, alone with the meat. 
“I only feed once a day those that are 
not having young, the same as the others, 
only the evening meal and cut out the 
morning meal, and I think it safe to Pt 
them have about all thev will drink everv 
day.”
