BEAR FARMING EXPOSED.

The dispatch yesterday from Minnesota giving
an account Of the final catastrophe at the Ker-
rick bear farm Is going to have a tendency to
discourage bear farming. OF course the trouble
was brought about by fire. which wDrld not
necessarily attend bear farm; but the fire only
served to bring out latent features OF the bust
ness which will not tend to popular,ze the In
dustry. We shall not expect to see the formation
OF the National Bear Growers League. or look
for the founding Of THE Weekly Bear: A Journal
for the Progressive Bear Farmer"
The Kerrick bear farm was started nome time
ago by n man named Allen. with money said to
have been furnished by Dr. Harrison. Of this

while In this state they would require only ioos-
ing and not board. Five acres OF lana were
bought and strong pens erected for the STOCK.
A log house was also built for Allen ana MS
assistant, and the bear farm was a reality.
Nine bears and a number Of deer had been
secured. and they were soon at home In their
new quarterg. They seemed to take rather kindly
to civilization. though the hired man, half-breed
Indian named Shanto. occasionally complained
that one old beer was fond OF taking stray p!ps
at him; and once a big deer, In an irresponsible
moment tossed Allen over the fence with MS
antIers But, taken altogether the affair started
out prosperously and the owner began to look
forward to the time when Kerr.ck Farm bear
steaks would be as well known as Canada NUT
ton, or Philadelphia poultry. or Long Island eggs
or Kalamazoo celery.

BILE, the only exit from the house led through the
bear pen. The proximity Of the fire greatly ex-
cited the bears, and when Allen attempted 10
escape from the burning building he was faiien

lance that the bear farm is a thing Of the past
and that for the present bear farming has re-
ceved its death blow. 1t has developed In pro-

Though the farm bear may not be so dangerous
