Lockhart now has his black fox ranch firmly established on the southern outskirts of the town, and the ranch just completed is quite spacious. He has spent consderable time fixing up his ne'w fox abode and it looks good. The Irish will say i'ts "rale" good when we add that he has named it "Killamey Fox Ranch." Good success has followed him in the fox raising game this season, six mothers giving birth to twenty-four fox pups. One mother raised six husky silver-tips. James Mitchell, Maple Hill Fox Ranch, Proton, has also had a splen- did year with his black foxes on his large ranch. Twelve mothers have fifty-one living puppies â€" an average of over four per litter â€" all doing well. These are excellent averages, and if the prices hold firm these men will be well repaid for their efforts, for the raising of foxes requires no little bit of attention. â€" Dundalk Herald. Hikers At Montreal In Five Days' Travel Word from the hikers, Wes. Arm- strong and Emerson Thompson, re- ceived on Monday, stated that they had arrived at Montreal on Friday last, just five days after leaving home. That is good fast walking I As a matter of fact they got motor lifts most of the way, and had not decided "where we will go from here." It might be New York and it might be up the St. Lawrence to Kingston in a river steamer. The young men are thoroughly enjoying themselves, and it seems an ideal way for youth to take a "hike."
