VALUABLE FOXES
ARE BEING SHOWN
Silver Cross Specimens
Detroit Are Worth about
$4,000 Each.

DETROIT. Sept. 2O.-Two silver
cross foxes. weighing about fifteen
pounds each and valued at $50, 900
each. have recently arrived in De-
troit. They are the property Of J..
r. Bigger. who has a fox ranch on
Prince Edward island.
The little animals. who couldn't
drag their own value IL 1t were in
gold, are on exhibition in the window
of a down town bird store.
II believe silver cross foxes can
be raised in Michigan" said Mr..
Bigger. The climate is suitable and
they are not at all hard to raise"
They are a little vicious some
times. One has to be careful In
handling them; always hold them
with their heads down and grasp the
hind legs firmly. Keep away from
their heads. because they will snap
you. Otherwise they are as easy to
raise as any kind Of stock. They
will live on fish and meat and that
sort Of thing. and good pair Of
breeders will present their owner
with 1--WE pups each year.
AT any rate, you can see. there
Is good money. In raising them. Out
Of the 155 men who have ranches on
Prince Edward island. fifty-fve are
millionaires and others are doing
nicely
The foxes that Mr.. Bigger brought
to Detroit are ranch raised and are
two and q half years old. At pres
ent their fur is shaggy and ragged
for they are shedding and the new
coat that they will wear next winter
is coming in. In short time. Mr..
Bigger says. their fur viii regain its
glossy smoothness.
Their littie- coal black eyes snap
and sparkle as they look at you. as
they crouch in the shadows at tha
corners OF their cage their eyes hash

that makes the spectators glad the

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
EGGPLANT and
TOMATO
Texan Believes Consumers Will
Give This New Vegetable
Warm Welcome.

LA MARQuE, Tex, Sept. Cop.
Dan George, a truck farmer of this
place. has succeeded in producing a
new variety Of vegetable by grating
the tomato plant upon the egg plant.
The product of this blending Of plant
types Is vegetable that in some re-
spects resembles the egg plant and in
other ways is typical Of the tomato.
Mr.. George has one-half acre de-
voted to egg plant-tomatoes, as he
calls the new garden product. The
yield is enormous. The fruit Of the
crossed plant is Of deep purple color
on the outside, closely resembling the
eggplant product in that respect, but
the meat on the inside is red.
The fruit is almost entirely free
ofgseed, In size the new product Is
much larger than any Of the differ
ent varieties Of the commercial toma-
to. Each plant grows to height of
: fivesto seven feet and puts on an enor-
nous crop OF fruit.
Mr.. George claims that the me-.
vegetable will receive warm welcome
from the consumers of the country.
twas quite by accident that he made
the discovery that the two plants
could be crossed. He was growing
the young plants in beds early this
spring, and one day. for want OF
some thing to do. he grated tomato
plant upon an egg plant. never think
Ing for moment that the merged
plant would grow. Greatly to his
surprise he saw that the grating
was great success. He Immediately
grated enough plants to set half
acre in them.
