} INDEPENDENCE
DAY
Tomorrow Seward will don her .best bib and tucker
and join in an appropriate celebration of Independence
Day. July 4 this year is the 153rd anniversary of the sign
ing of the Declaration of Independence, and the occasion
'calls for special memorial ceremonies which will impress
upon American youth the solemn and sublime importance
of act of their forefathers.
* The program arranged for Seward tomorrow is full
to overflowing, appropriate and impressive. Prizes for
almost everything has been arranged. It will fittingly ex
press the sentiments of the people of this district in hon
oring the natal day of the republic.
Every citizen of Seward should feel proud of the
splendid showing the city will make to the many visitors.
Without the hearty support and cooperation of the bus
iness people of the city, the Volunteer Fire Department,
and members of the Signal Corps, the celebration would
have fallen flat.
Possibly it would save time by having the relief ex
peditions go on ahead of the adventurers.

NOW IS THE TIME
PUPPYHOOD IS THE CRITICAL [
TIME IN FOXES LIFE STATES
DR. GRAVES
Dr. E. F. Graves, Territorial veteri-1
nary, lias arrived in Seward after I
spending several weeks in ^iie Kodi-!
ak, Kachemak Bay and lower Cook
Inlet Country where he has been in
vestigating conditions among the fox
farmers of that area.
Dr. Graves says, “I have seen some
very splendid foxes and several ex.
ceptionally fine litters of pups this
spring. I am convinced that Alaska
has a truly wonderful future as a
fur farming country, but just at pre
sent the industry is working under !
tremendeous handicap ” The wild life
is gradually becoming a thing of the
pas*- due to inroads by hunters and
‘rappers and fur farming is becom
ing more and more profitable When
properly conducted.
Correct fox farming means far
more than simply procuring a male
and female then liberating them on
an island and expectyig them to care
for themselves with the minimum of
attention. Also it is not correct fox
'aiming to simply place a pair of
i *
animals in a pen and feed them dai
ly. Correct fox and fur farming
means constant study and attention
rio the animals. Dr. Graves .has visit
ed a large number of fox farms anf i
found that where the proper methods
ai^ used the rancher is having little
or no trouble and if difficulty is en
countered it can and is readily trace.1,
and corrected. Fox farming is a hign- j
ly specialized business and calls for |
a type of percou suited to the indus
try. Not everyone has the patience,
understanding of animals and studi
ous trend that we find making up
the personnel of the more successful
I
fox ranchers.
Some necessary requisites of fox
farming are a knowledge of what
makes up a properly balanced'ration,
ability to make proper physical ex
aminations, a knowledge of animil
diseases and a knowledge xif book,
keeping and the better business

methods.
I
A fox farm cannot run without I
business methods anv more than a i
‘
store or a bank. Certain methods are |
as necessary in the raising of foxes
as are necessary in the proper con
ducting of any industry.
For example; If one had made a
practice of daily opening the kennels,
then at whelping time the same pi"*- ,
cedure could be used and many
nuppies saved that are at present be
ing lost. Dr. Graves has fisited places
where there was waiting with fated
breath the coming of the litters out
of the kennels of their own accord—
and when they came—what a disap
pointment, if there were any at all
to come, what would have been beau,
tiful animals—hopelessly deformed by
rochitis which could have been pre.
ruled byf proper care at the right time.
Fox puppies should be wormed .r
early as possible between three and
five weeks of age. A very large num
ber of puppies are lost because of
\ internal parasites of several kinds.
Most parasites are spread by means
of parasite eggs, larvae or cysts in
manure or intermediate *hosts—|his
