Domestication Of the fox was first
| achieved in 1894 by Robert T. Oulton
and Charles Dalton on Prince Edward
island, a Canadian province in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence. Silver fox pelts
have continuously commanded high
! prices, and hunters have been Corre-
spondingly keen to secure them. 1t is
not strange, therefore, that the first
successful breeders of this rare animal
were men who had pursued it in the
| chase. The two mentioned had hunted
foxes together, and had frequently
| bought and sold fox pelts of their
neighbors. Oulton was once lucky
| enough to shoot a silver fox the skin
Of which netted S13S. Becoming i'm
pressed with the possibility of domesti-
eating such valuable fur bearers,
Oulton and Dalton separately expert
mented in building fox-proof fences
and in feeding and breeding the ami
mails. After several years work on
these problems they formed a partner
ship in 1894, built a ranch and stocked
it with two pairs OF silver foxes. This
became the first profitable fox ranch,
for that region, a revolutionary in
dustry.
At that time black pelts brought
much higher prices than silver pelts.
This prompted Oulton & Dalton to re-
tain their darker animals and dispose
of the lighter ones, and as a result
each successive lot of pelts from their
yards was darker than those of pre-
vious years. Finally in 1910, they
were able to send to the London sales
the finest collection of silver fox pelts
that had ever appeared there.
Disclosure of the results Of the 1910
sales was the climax Of the first stage
in the development of fox farming
People who formerly had known some
thing of the business were now eager
to engage in it. Those having money
invested in foxes. Others mortgaged
their farms for the purpose Of fitting
up ranching facilities and boarded
foxes for share of the progeny. How
rapidly prices for breeding stock ad-
vanced is well illustrated by the expe-
rience of one ranchman who sold his
first pair of cubs for $3.50, and other
pairs successfully for $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000 and $4,000. In the fall of
1913 good ranch-bred cubs six months
old sold for from $1,000 to SIS, 900
pair Pairs that had had large litters
we're valued at about twice as much
as siX-months-old cubs.
In the pioneer days, when proper
methods for handling foxes were Un-
known, many failures resulted from
ignorance and Carelessness. The eX
citement following the fur sales of
1910 hastened the improvement of
methods of feeding, handling, and
breeding. 1t also broke the mOnop- |
oily, and caused a rapid distribution Of |
foxes and of information concerning |
them. Now, with a comparatively |
large number Of silver foxes in do
mesticatiOn, with a clearer under |
of their successful manage
ment, and with a return of moderate |
prices for breeders, steady, healthy, |
and general development Of silver fox
farming may be expected. Fox ranches
are established in most Of the Cana
dian provinces and in Maine, New |
Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan. Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon,
Washington and Alaska.
