It was one of the happiest and most harmonious Assemblies on cord, and though the press made much capital out of the differences regarding the Board of Administration; yet at no time was tlhe house seriously divided.

RAT BREEDING INCREASING Demand for Fur Exceeds Supply 40% About seventy-five members of the Muskrat Breeders' Association of Canada attended the annual meeting at Gore's Landing last Friday afternoon, when a general discussion relating to the breeding of rats and an exchange of opinion on the difficulties with which breeders are faced was discus-Some of the most prominent breeders on the continent were pres-including R. B. Francis of Van er. B.C., and W. W. Stroyan of Quesnal. B.C., two of the largest farm-in the world, they having 11,000 s of marsh land with an annua: production of one hall million rats: McGuffey, secretary-treasurer ol Michigan Breeders' Association who has a farm of 210.000 acres in siana; G. G. Gooke of Columbus Ohio; Hon. W. D. Black of Toronto ho has a large ranch in Carleton Co. nd many other prominent breeders. The officers elected were as follows: President--Hon. W. D. Black, To-into. Secretary-Treasurer-- Lee Brown. Directors--Hon. W. D. Black, W. W. Stroyan, W. F. Garland, M.P., Messrs. Hastings and McKenzie. One of the difficulties that had been rercome was the fact that up to cently the government did not gr; >re than fifty acre leases of marsh id, but this has been changed and as large farms as wanted can be fenced. It was pointed out that a large acreage was needed for a successful rat farm, and this should tend to put the business on a better basis. Up i "" the larger leases were allowed the business was in a bad shape, ' not much chance of success.. Considerable discussion took place over the regulations under which breeders are compelled to labor, especially as to how the rats may be taken, some of the breeders being of the opinion that rats should be taken an}' place in their marsn instead of their not being allowed to trap close to a house or feeding grounnd. The matter will be brought up before the government with the object of having regulations changed.
