FUR FARMS
BY DR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright. 1921. by Frank Crane)

According to recent article by Dr. E. H. Chap man of Ottawa the business of raising fur-bearlng animals is of considerable importance in Canada there being 400 farms in the Dominion wholly chiefly devoted to that industry.
 Of his interesting statistics the following items will be of interest to our readers
 Wild animals have been raised for the sake of their belts far back 1880 in Prince Edward Island but the industry did not make much progress until the Canadian government in 1914 published the results of official inquiry into the possibilities fur farming
 This publication attracted so many to fur farming that it has become an important Dominion in- dustry.
 The value of the land and buildings of fur farms in Canada IS put at about $720,000 and the animals themselves estimated worth some $2, ,560 900.
 Once the investment paid enormously sometimes 1000 per cent. While there such profits now, good, steady business is being done.
 The following details as to fox of interest:
 The fox has proved the most suitable of fur-bear- ing animals for breeding in captivity. This is we'll shown by the fact that out of 43O fur farms fewer than 423 were fox farms The remaining five made up of three mink farms in Nova Scotia and two farms in Quebec The skunk and the Karacule sheep have been tried without success.
 The last available figures show that of the 5000 fur bearing animals kept in captivity the fur farms of Canada 1000 were silver black foxes, $50 were patch foXes and nearly 300 red foxes There also blue fox, gray fox nearly 100 mink, and ten
 In one year there are something like 5000 silver black foxes 800 patch foxes and 200 red foxes born on the fur farms while the number of animals killed amounts roughly to 2O00 silver black foXeS 300 patch foxes, and 100 red foxes
 The average value of a live silver black fox Canadian fur farm varies from province to province, as does also the value of the pet For the Dominion the average value of the live animal is 1885, and the average value of its pet is f50
 The highest values, both for the live silver black fox and for its pel obtained in Quebec where well over e100 has been paid for single animal and where the average price obtained for silver black fox pelt is e70.
 In Prince Edward Island where three-quarters of all the captive silver black foxes in the Dominion be found the average value of the live animal e7O It's pelt is worth on the average about e45
 The success in raising the silver black fox in cap tivy must have proved bad for the oldtime trapper who could always count on G200 for a silver black fox pelt
 The fur farmer has improved the fur of his do- mesticated fox so considerably that the trapper hardly compete with him.
