BREEDING SILVER FoXEs

Let all fond fathers and ndui- gent husbands take new courage Somebody may yet tame the sea ot- ter and the ermiue, the sable aud the seal. as some one has tanned thee other of that quintet of regal tur-bea-ers, the silver fox.
 They call him silver-rox, al- though he is jet black, barring 8 silver tip to his tail and few stl- yer threads in his magnificent coat Hes a dandy; but if you wish to meet a real black fox enthusiast III Introduce you to General H. s. Hlidekopsr, who has spent his sumner vacation on Prince EdwarL Island.
 On space not larger than Phlla- d,lplla 275 fox-breedi0g companies have about SIo,pOo,oo0 worth Of silver md black foxes. They grow them as a Bucks Counttan raises pigs; but instead of about $50 for a porker the assessed value of each silver tip is $4,9O0. The fox es in that small section of Canada are worth more than all the do- nestle animals on the island.
 The silver fox is an animal of romance A century Or more ago the Hudson Bay company would pay one of its hardy trappers $lOo0 for a single pelt. More than one such lone woodsman who had got the coveted skin met his death at the hands of another. who stole il from him.
 But about I5 years ago au iu- genius Canadian decided that it was time to admit science into part ngrship with the fox. so he bought a oair from a trapper and began to breed them in captivity.
 A mother fox holds to the Roose- velriau principle that race suicide should be discouraged, and in her dozen years of life she will rear an average of 45 baby foxes.
 A good black Iox, properly sil- ysrsd, will nov fetch sl5,0O0. On one compauy's farm an old ta5by cat became the foster mother of two orphan foxes worth $1O,0oo and reared them as credttably as the cid wolf suckled ROmulus and Remus, the founder of Rome.
 gather from what General Huidekoper tells me and from other sources that black fox farming is now very profitable. A couple of years ago ! wrote that prices for black fox skins had declined.
 Nearly 30 companies owning fox farms have paid all the way from 25 to 500 per cent dividends. Two women earned 900 per cent on their investment in a year by rais- ing foxes.
 The profits would indicate that the black fox fur market is still sky high; yet if this farming game goes on so successfully should think this Rlttenbouse square nec-. essity would have to drop n price very decidedly. And so with the other fashionable furs, barring Seal and otter Even fur Iayman can

London. - Italy, through her for
eiSn minister, Baron Sonnino. has an
nounced her adhesion TO the treaty
of London, whereby the allied powers
undertake not to conclude separate
peace, and at the same time has de-
clared her intention Of sending help
to the Serbian army in the Balkans.
This news, the most important for
several days, will go far to clear the
situation. especially in Greece. where
negotiations are still proceeding be-
tween King Constantine, his cabinet
and the ministers Of the quadruple
entente. These negotiations have
been protracted owing to Greece's un.
willingness to allow the allies free use
OF the railways and the right to police
Greex waters against submarines.
They are not yet completed, but latest
advices indicate that they are likely
to end in complete satisfaction to the
entente powers, the assurance that
Italy, as well as Great Britain, France
and Russia, is to give military support
to the Serbians. in their efforts to re-
gain their lost territory, making the
case for Greek assistance stronger.
