A Think Farm.

The Chicago Tribune tells of an in
teresting industry which has been
started at Lake Mills. It is a mink
farm and E. n. Harvey is the founder
of the novelty. His strange little
''farm," says The Tribune, has no
known counterpart Mink raising is
Mr.. Harvey's speciality, and he is the
first man to attempt to domesticate
the queer rodents, whose beautiful
furry coats make such an important
feature of the feminine toilet.
Mr.. Harvey has only been in the
mink business for a year, but has
found it.not only wonderfully engross-
ing but highly profitable. The an
lmals have lived and thrived in cap
tivity, his collection having been con-
stantly increased by the birth OF cubs
and the capture of large minks, and
dealers have gladly exchanged from
the precarious and unreliable supply
furnished by trappers to that of Mr..
Harvey whenever they required skins.
The ''m:nkery," as Mr.. Harvey
calls it, is thirty-four feet long and
twenty-five wide, the yard being
12x10, Surrounding the inclosure is
fence six feet high, and above the
yard are stretched planks to pre-
vent the minks from getting out.
1.-The greatest difficulty about oper-
ating mink farm is to keep the an
imals from escaping" says Mr. Har-
vey. Il do not know Of any animal
| whose care would necessitate the TAX
ing of greater precautions. This is be-
cause the mink is elm Der as we'll as
a digger; he can scale the highest
wall or dig through earth to any
depth. Besides, he has great faculty
for tlattening himself. An average
mink is about four inches thick, but
can squeeze through a horizontal
crack only an inch wide. Conse-
quently all the boards of the house
and fence have to be joined carefully. 2"
