Consular Report Tells Of the
Benefits Agrieulturists
Obtain from Working To-
gether-Fewer Toll Gates
Are Desired.

At the seventy-fifth annual show OF the
Yorkshire Agricultural Society, held at
York, the Small Holdings Committee Of
the West Riding County Council held a
meeting of small holders in Yorkshire,
which was addressed by Mr.. R. A. Hed-
burgh, NJ. p, president of the Agricultural
Organization Society, on agricultural CO.
operation, says a consular report.
Explaining the objects of the society
he said that It was called into being to
preach the gospel OF cooperation. The
society was trying to bring the producer
nearer to the consumer, with as few
toll gates between them as possible. He
stated that the farmer wanted three
things today-to get all his requisites as
cheaply as possible TO produce from his
land as much as he could, and to get the
best price he could. There is no depart
ment of his business in which co-opera-
ton will not help the small holder. He
also spoke OF the Importance OF getting
credit on reasonable terms; side by side
with the cooperative society there could
be run a bank for advancing money to
members when necessary. and at cheap

4 MiniStry of sport,

The French Chamber having risen. like
our own House Of Commons, a French
paper fills the vacuum. which journalists
abhor even more utterly than nature.
by suggesting that France ought to have
a ministry Of sport In a country which
has minister Of labor and OF fine arts.
and which until the separation law had
a minister of public worship, a strong
plea might be put in, on the ground of
symmetry, for minister OF sport. Why
should not the government which Is so
concerned about the playwrights and the
plays OF France be equally concerned
about bruisers and the noble art of self
defense? We see only one way of evad-
ing that question-denying that sport Is
national activity with the French. Even
that denialsis becoming increasingly diff
cult to make Could il be even attempted
with regard to our own people? Every
Britisher either plays the game or
watches 1t or reads about it. Then why
not a British minister of sport? The
honor of collaborating with the Jockey
Club in the control OF swindling jockeys
and trainers is surely greater than that

that a few OF our richest women are
able TO boast the possession Of silver
fox furs. At the last horse show in New
York was seen one set of black fox,
consisting of only three skins, which is
known to have cost $4,000. Another lady,
on the same occasion, wore a coat of
Siberian marten commonly known as
Russian sable) which cost So, 900. But
the marten is a much smaller animal.
and the number of pelts that went to
make up the garment was considerably
greater.
One naturally asks, from what source
is the rare and precious silver fox fur
obtained? The. answer is that the bulk
Of the small market supply comes from
Prince Edward Island, off the Canad dian
coast. That is the only place In the
world where silver foxes are reared un-
der conditions Of partial domestica-
tion-the business being so profitable
that up to now its very existence has
been kept carefully secret by the few
persons engaged in it.
Animals Bring High Prices.
II the pelts are costly, the living ami
mails are much more so, being useful for
breeding purposes. Silver fox pups born
in 1872 have a value of 5000 TO A,O0
would be extremely difficult To kill one
for its fur would be like wringtng the
neck of the goose that laid the golden
eggs-save only where there are super
fuous males, which furnish the furs that
are sent to market
These skins, SO few and so costly, are
shipped to London, where they are dis
posed of at the great auctions of furs-
that city being, as every one knows, the
fur market Of the world. Thence they
find their way almost inevitably into the
hands Of royal families, which have
standing orders with agents to buy them
at almost any price whenever they are
offered. The Empress OF Russia has a,
magnificent set OF silver fox furs, whicu
is rlvaled perhaps only by another Sc;

which were sent to very distant points
in Canada
Mr.. Rayner Is authority for the state
ment that there are now eighty fox
ranches on Prince Edward Island, which
are stocked with 800 fine dark silver
foxes. 800 silver grays, and 400 very light
silvers and crosses. The total estimated
value Of their skins Gt they were all
killed tomorrow Is $4,000. AS breeding
stock, however, they are worth over

not more than IS. Once in a long while
a specimen Is black, and then II is called
a dark silver fox. II such a fox is

ordinary red foxes. all Of the offspring

been proved BY many experiments, and
thus II appears that a farmer of small
means, who could afford to buy only one
real silver fox, might, by the adoption
OF proper methods, acquire stock OF the
precious animals in the course OF few
years.
The government Bureau of Animal In
dustry believes that fox farming on such
plan might be made very successful in
Northern regions of the United States
for example, in Maine and North Da-
kota. The foxes need a cold climate to
produce satisfactory fur. 1t is at present
engaged in preliminary experiments with
this idea in view. There is no question
g the fact that the silver fox Is the most
valuable beast in the world today. and

posit the small savings effected in each

and 500 branches up and down the
country-one for Yorkshire. Durham, and
Northumberland, with offices at York. D..
Mr.. F. II. Fawkes. vice chairman OF
the Small Holdings Committee of the
West Riding County Council, said that
from his own practical experience he ad-
vised small holders to start with CO.

them to start of Immediately with CO.

would follow.
The council of the Yorkshire Agricul-
tural Society has accepted the invitation
extended by the Lord Mayor Of Brad
ford to hold the next annual show in
Bradford In July, 1914. The last time the
show was held in Bradford was in 1901.
Already preparations are being made In
Bradford for that event, and, among other
things. special pains will be taken to

Its Future in This Country

daughter OF the German Emperor, at

driven through the streets in her auto
mobile. Her whole body seemed literally

What is that our princess wears this
day." asked one citizen of another.
1T is some kind of celestial fabric,
surely" was the reply.
Yet the notion was a mistake. At all
events. what the Princess Victoria Lulse
had on was not a fabric at all, In the
ordinary sense of the word. 1t was a
coat Of silver fox fur tipped with gold
and she carried muff to match.
This is a new and quite remarkable
invention, one should eNplain-gold being
applied by an eleCtrolytic process to the
tips OF the long black hairs OF the fur.
Thus is produced the peculiar Skinner
ing effect described.
1t is a curious fact that, 70 far as
known. silver fox is the only kind Of fur
which can be treated in this way sue
cessfully. The hairs of no other fur will
hold the gold. Hence II appears that
this particular and latest touch in cos
tune is obtainable only by very wealthy
wOmen-silver fox being by far the most
costly of all furs.

As a matter of fact. however, the

paid annually in this country for furs of
all kinds. But II is very difficult TO OBJ

ease. Reckoning the skins as worth from
100 to 5000 apiece, 1t Is easy to see that
a pair Of the animals might be expected
under favorable circumstances TO yield an
annual income OF something like 5000.
This kind of farming, however, Is at
tended with a good many difficulties. chief
among which is the shyness OF the ami
mails. They have to be kept in pens far
away from any human habitation. pre-
ferably amid dense woods, and no man
other than their keeper can be permitted
to go near them. Even he, though he feeds
them daily. must take every precaution
TO avoid frightening them, and II is de-
sirRble that he shall not adopt any
change Of costume that would strike
them as novel and therefore alarming.

1t is because of their extreme shyness
that foxes are never known to produce
young in geological gardens The mother

tivity as are here described, will, II dis
turbed in any way, imperil the lives of
ner offspring by carrying them about in
her mouth-picking them up from one
place and putting them down in another

much handling. 1t will be understood,
then. why It Is necessary 10 seclude the
pens in unfreQuented woods, maintaining
continual watch TO prevent the ap-
proach of possible intruders man or wild

The kennels used for housing the
animals on Prince Edward Island are
little houses, big enough to accomodate
four pairs of the foxes in as many
separate compartments-each of the lat
ter consisting of two rooms. One of the
two rooms is for a nest, and is lined
with dry and perfectly clean seaweed.
Exit into the open air is obtained through
a sort of crooked spout Of wood, which

Almost the only man in the navy who
fully realized this was our naval attache

Wainwright was about the only other
