ture and trade supporting a large
population can be continued.
All domestic animals originally
came under the control of man by
appropriation from the wild state in
time of need. AS cattle, horses, sheep
and poultry have been domesticated,
distributed to the ends of the earth.
and differentiated by careful breed
ing for specific purposes, so too will
1t be with our wild and valuable fur
animals. The great problem now
confronting the fur industry is how
to obtain from a waning source the
necessary stock for its permanent de-
velopment. To this there is but one
solution: domesticate the fur bear
ers and farm them, as has been done
over and over with other animals.
The killing pressure on those re-
naming in the wild state will then
be reduced, the fur trade supported,
and . new farm product developed.
The demand for fur has existed
since primitive man first sought
skins to shield his naked body from
the cold. The demand Is fundamen-
tai and will endure while man in

ago. He had long dealt in wild furs
and by degrees started raising some
of the finer specimens of the black
fox in captivity. About rs years ago
he began to make fox farming q
business.
The industry grew to such proper
lions on this little island-2O miles
wide and 100 miles long-that when
the war broke out in 1914 there were
$11,000,000 invested there in the
fox business. The war taxes then
became 80 enormous that they ate up
far more than the foxes, and what
was worse, the only two fur markets
in the world, London and Leipsic,
had no time to think Of furs-there
was no place at all to sell them, un-
til the United States grasped the op-
portuntty. st. Louis and New York
now are the great fur markets of the
world and do an immense fur bust
ness. holding great fur sales four
times year. Some idea of the mag
niture of the business done at these
sales may be gathered from the fact
that at one sale. last winter, the sales
amounted to $1,05O,000.
Furs are staple commodity, and
their production is bound to become
big business. There is no doubt that
the fox ranch will be relied upon to
produce the bulk of the enormous
supply needed to meet the demand.
Owing to the suitability of our Mon
tana climate and other important
factors, there is no doubt but that
the rearing of the silver black fox in
captivity will become one of the per-
manent and profitable industries of
Montana. The industry has already
passed the experimental stage, and
for some time to come foxes, espe-
cially those that can be relied upon

proportion. The cross or patch pelts,
that Is, the black fox crosses with the
red fox, bring from $35 to $40 each,
and the red is the cheapest of all,
SIS being the highest price that a red
fox will bring. OF these prices, by
far the highest Is given to the ranch
bred fox. Owing to its care, feeding
and breeding the fur is very much
finer. The above prices are whole
sale prices of single skins, and show
how costly garment would be made
of the highest grade of the genuine
ranch bred silver black fox.
The ultimate value of the fox is,
OF course. its pelt. but in the present
state OF the industry, now that fox
farming has become live business,
great attention Is being paid to the
matching Of pairs and breeding fine
stock. so much SO, that the pure bred
animals bring very high prices. ANY,
one who understands breeding knows
that unless a black fox is of pure
strain 1t cannot be depended upon to
produce pure black. For this reason,
breeders of pure bred foxes hate to
kill their foxes for the pelts. They
much, prefer to keep them for breed
ing purposes. It is exactly as it is
with fine Holstein cattle, breeders
do not kill them, even though the
price OF beef is high.
VIII these prices continue? It
certainly looks that way. The world
uses $150.O0O,00O worth of raw furs
each year. Wild furs are getting
scarcer. in fact, fine furs are becom-
ing as rare as diamonds, so much so
that the price of furs has risen 800
per cent during the past 20 years and
the supply has fallen off so per cent
during the same period of time; but
people are growing richer and they
must have furs. It is necessary now
for woman of fashion to have furs
for every occasion-often she needs
three or four sets in order properly
to meet her social engagements-and
as long a. women are women, a fact
that neither suffrage nor higher edu-
cation can alter. they are bound to
desire and require pretty things.

Island saw all these conditions years

ually to wear the fur. Fox men say
"There is nothing too good for my
foxes"
People who know realize some
thing of the enormous value of the
fox. Their present value on the mar
ket ranges about as follows:
Pure black pelts are the most valu-
able. prices ranging from $500 to
$4,000 each, according to their quail
tty. These pure blacks" always have
q few silver hairs on the launches
and about the face. These silver
hairs do not enhance the beauty of
the fur. but they make it impossible
to initiate. Too many silver hairs,
however, detract from the beauty,
therefore, the pelts grade down,

had. lts strength can be judged by
the volume Of trade It supports. In
1913 the dressed and manufactured
furs imported into the United States
were valued at more than SIS,
900. North American furs annually
marketed in the United States and
England have an approximate value
Of $S0.000,000. These figures show
the commercial importance Of fur,
and in addition to this the fur trade
furnishes livelihood for many thou
sands OF workers in the factories and
stores Of the country.
In the history of the fur trade,
two facts are prominent: a. The
finer and more durable kinds of furs.
such as silver black fox, beaver, Of
ter, mink and marten, have become
so scarce as to be largely replaced
by the coarser and thinner grades
which formerly were regarded as of
little or no value: (2) the choicest
furs are now bringing fabulous
prices. Although the whims Of IA
shion influence prices Of furs, the
fluctuations thus produced are COM
pensatory. When one kind is cheap
because fashion temporarily neglects
it, another is dear because of her
temporary favor. The dark, thick,
soft and glossy furs, however, like
rare jewels, are scarcely affected by
passing styles.
The demand for fine furs and their
scarcity have made possible the in
PRODUCTION of fur farming, either as
a special business or as side line.
Several species have been tested in
captivity. and when rightly managed
have yielded satisfactory returns.
Several other species may do equally

Of superior strains is always possible
by selective breeding. The food re-
Qutred Is mainly the same as that fed
to dogs and cats and may include
table refuse, milk, butchers waste,
and horse meat.
The labor of attending the animals
Is light. Professional men and wo-
men, as we'll as the mistress of the
farmers household, may take Just
pride in wearing furs of their own
raising.
Among the score or more of differ
emit kinds Of fur-bearing animals ma
tive to North America about q dozen
seem to be suitable for domestica-
ton. OF these, the skunk, the mink,
and the silver fox have been bred

successfully in captivity in widely
scattered localities. The silver black
fox IL the most valuable fur bearing
animal in the world today.
A prime silver fox skin is a rare
and beautiful object, and, as such,
commands high price. Breeding Of
silver foxes was first undertaken up-
ward Of 20 years ago on Prince Ed
ward Island. Canada. There are
now many successful fox farms in
Canada and q considerable number
In several Of the more northern
states. Foxes are naturally timid,
but. II taken in hand when quite
young can be made very tame, al
though tameness does not seem to be
an essential to success in breeding
them. Fox fur is soft and rather
long. Its beauty is entirely in the
long guard hairs which overlie the
under fur.
Silver black foxes have the regular

Foxes are mated in pairs and for

fox has an enclosure of 25x5O feet
all its own. that of the male and the
female being side by side and inter-
communicating. The Lewiston is

SILVER BLACK FOX RAISING IN lSS0ULA HAS been PROVED
SUCCESSFUL MONTANA FURS ALWAYS TOP WORLDS MARKETS

Cufs are the most useful and valu-
able Of the several products derived
from Wild animals. Indispensable to
primitive man, they are scarcely Less
important to the civilized, for in
warmth. beauty, and durability NO
manufactured fabrics equal them. AS
the result Of increase OF population
and OF encroachment upon the breed
ing grounds of the fur bearers the
supply of furs has steadily diminish
ed and prices have correspondingly
advanced. Trappers have been slim
ulated to penetrate farther and far
Their into the unimhabited regions Of
the north and to redouble their eff
forts to increase their catch nearer
home. Many of the more valuable
animals are now so scarce that the
demand for their pelts Is met by the
substitution Of inferior products.
The natural production Of first
class furs seems to be approaching q
sure end. and the growing and world
wide demand for them requires that
the present supply be supplemented
with stock obtained through domes-
tication. Experience has demon
strated that some Of the fur bearers
may be raised without much diff
Guilty.
This will lead to the establishment
of fur farming on small scale a.

come very profitable. It will nay
