Facts About Fox
Farming
By GARRETT p. sERvIss.

To the majority OF readers fox
farming must seem a very singular
business. 1t is a complete turning of
the tables upon the most cunning of
all the four-fOOted tribes to make
the sly and solitude-lovins fox dwell
upon ranches, behind wire fences.
and spend his life perfecting beauti-
tul furs for the use and comfort Of
somebody else.
From the days of Aesop the fox
has been the typical hero of fable.
looked Up TO by all quadrupeds as
the intellectual wonder of their kind.
placed by his keen brain on a ped
estal higher even than the lions
throne but now how fallen! once
the hero of a great epic, translated
into many languages OF man; now
sold in the market place with geese
and lambs, whose stupidity was wont
to arouse his sarcasm.
1t seems TO me that if 1 were 60
ins into the business of animal
breeding 1 should choose fox-ranch-
ing just for the sake of the advan-
tages ii must afford for studying the
character Of that sagacious creature.
There are strange depths in his soul
that one would like TO penetrate.
Why, for instance does the fox (and
there IS high authority for the
statement), absolutely refuse, under
any circumstances, to eat any kind
of bird of prey.

He climbs up the back of the
rocky ridge outside the little valley,
and enters the observatory from be-
hind. and so catches a view of the
unsuspecting foxes, jumping, run
ming and chasing one another among
the trees and over the messy ROCKS,
and sometimes invites a company of
visitors TO see the novel spectacle.
The wild fox" says the owner
Of this ranch, will often choose
vantage point on the side of slop-
ing hill from which he Will watch
for danger. That this instinct has
not been bred out is evident in my
foxes. which choose the high, expos
ed lodges when they wish to watch
or 10 sleep. In fact, they prefer these
vantage points at all times. Here,
crouched on a ledge or perched on
a boulder they watch the life of the
whole valley and the activities of
their neighbOrs."
The fox farmer can afford to feed
his stock well, giving it food quite
as good as his own, such as fresh
meat, eggs, milk, boiled vegetables,
with frequent changes of diet. In
fact. If he wishes to produce the
soft, rich, brilliant pelts that bring
a thousand dollars each. ne must
set a bountiful table for his unwill-
in guests. He must also keep
well-supplied apothecary shop, for
the list of fox ills and of remedies
for them is very long and astonish-
ingly like that of an infrmary for
infants. What, for instance, do you
think Of ricketts, as a malady of
foxes?

out on level ground, with poor
