through extensive advertising. and the

stimulated the necessary interest among
the young men of the country.

Raising Silver Foxes
Is a Paying Industry

r IAVE you ever thought of going into
n the business of raising foxes?
This isn't any nature taking tale.
but is a mild story based upon the fact
set forth by the Department of Agricul-
ture in a recent publication that there
are farmers and Woodsmen in this coun-
try who make silver fox raising profitable.
All sorts of foxes have in times past
been kept in confinement in ZOOS. circuses,
etc. But no one probably before the in
genious Yankee thought of raising foxes
as a business, and 1t was not until the
last fifteen years. the government sharps
say, that even the Yankee bethought OF
raising in his own back yard an animal
whose fur is worth great deal of money.
The Agricultural Department has found
at least twenty persons who are now en-
gagged in fox raising-this number being
divided not at all equally-betWeen Name,
Michigan, Alaska and the Canadian prov
inces OF New Brunswick, PrinceEdWard
Island Nova Scotia and Labrador.
OF the men who have persevered in this
queer business most have got their start
by abstracting few wild silver foxes
from den. With this start the business
soon grows into something worth while.
Wild foxes and. consequently, those In
captivity are best nourished upon mixed
diet, although in natural surroundings
the fox will live for many months upon
mice, grasshoppers, crickets, etc. When
the berries in the woods come into ripe
ness the fox forsakes his meat diet and
lives almost entirely upon the fruits.
According to the department experts the
expenses incident to fox farming are small
and the profits are consequently apt TO
be worth while. An ordinary fox pelt.
even those which are quite pale, will
bring, they say. at least 500. while pure
black pelt will insure the owner of a sum
anywhere between $500 and $1,000.
Selling the Animals.
In addition to the chance of profit from
the sale of pelts. the fox raiser may make
a good income by selling full-fiedged foxes.
good live specimens Of the silver species
bringing often as high as $500 per pair.
The experts show by figures that the
sale of silver fox skins in London during
the last three years has increased most
crease in supply there has been no falling
off in the price per skin, and that, on the
other hand, there has been an increase in
the prices paid Of about 10 per cent each
year. Most Of the silver fox skins of the
better color are sold in France and Russia,
but the demand in the United States is
growing.
The department, without wishing to
grow enthusiastic over the prospects. is
not unwilling to believe that there may
be a domestic breed of foxes in this coun-
try some day in spite of all the petty
troubles surrounding fox raising.
When that day comes 1t is possible. al
though the department Is not responsible
for the statement, that there will be fox
clubs galore and riding to the hounds will
be common sport like airship gliding is
now.

AssA1LED THE BRITISH PRINCE
Violent Demonstration by Mob of On
employed at Glasgow.


Glasgow, Sept. An anti-royalist
demonstration took place here Satur-
day that rivaled the days of the Paris
commune when 5000 socialists and I'M
employed tried to mob Prince Arthur
of Connaught. The prince came to re-
view the boys brigade and only the
fact that the police had been warned
of the attack prevented him from suf-
fering probable death at the hands OF
the Infatuated mob.
The hostile demonstration began the
moment the prince alighted from his
train. A special detail of several
hundred police threw themselves
around the prince and conducted him
to his carriage. The route to the city
hall, where the city corporation Of
ficials gave a luncheon in his honor,
was through hooting and jeering lines
of maddened people.
The most dramatic situation arose
when one of the bands in the prince 8
escort started the national anthem.
Instantly the mob broke into singing
the % Marseillaise' and hundreds of red
flags waved. For a time it seemed
that the royal party would be tram
pied down.
The prince retained his composure
as he proceeded to the station amid a
running fire of jeers and insults.
The trouble arose over the refusal
of the municipal council to listen to a
pela from the thousands of unemployed
at its session a few nights previous.
The situation is little improved. The
people are demanding that either the
municipality or the government do
something in their behalf.
