u. S. Dept. Bulletin

Bulletin No. 30l of the United States
Department Of Agriculture has lust
appeared and is the most important
Official verdict yet given on the silver
black fox industry. The official rec
ognition is the more striking that it
has come as the result of an investiga-
ton carried on by Mr.. Ned Dearborn,
the trained expert of the Department
OF Agriculture, who has personally in
Vestigated and written the Bulletin,
and gives it standing which will be
unquestioned by any one. Here are
some of his statements. viz: 1.-THE
natural production Of first class furs
seems to be approaching a sure end
and the growing and world wide de-
mand for them requires that the pres
ent supply be supplemented with stock
obtained through domestication."

A modern, up-to-date Fox Ranch,

pairs of the highest grade registered
Silver Black Foxes.

The property consists Of about 6
acres, all enclosed with # fence,
and will comprise SO pens each so

land. Off to the left but a giants
throw are Monks Hill and Allen HILL
the former the scene of many a good

Kennebec chain--a sweep of country

fur farming may become very
profitable. In 1910 pelts from
ranch breo foxes brought higher
prices than those from wild
foxes, the average value being
over $1,000 each.
There will never come a time
when an extra fine silver fox pelt
will not command a good price,
or when the breed producing
such pelts will not be in de-
mand."
Disclosures 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 1t. Those having money
invested it in foxes. Others mort
gagged their farms for the purpose or
fitted up ranching facilities and board
ed foxes for a share of the progeny
How rapidly prices for breeding stock
advanced is we'll illustrated by the ex-
perience 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
1918 good ranch-bred cubs months
old sold for from $1,000 to $4,000 a
pair. Pairs that had had large filters
were valued at about twice as much
as 6-months- old cubs"
