FOX PUPS REARED BY
MAINE RANCHER'S CAT
Youngsters Show No Fear of
Owner or viSitcrs and Are
Very Playful.

Fox pups have been reared by
mother dogs, it is said, but it has re-
manned for Maine silver fox ranch
man, Frank A. Harvey, to bring up a
litter Of fox pups with q cat foster
mother.
Pussy still wanders interestedIy
about the big fox pens where her last
seasons pups have grown to her own
size, and would still fondle them If
she could. But Mr.. Harvey believes
that they would make mead of her
today if they could reach her.
II wanted to see how far l could go
in semi-domesticating these foxes" he
said. EVERY one knows how wary
the fox is. Frightened by dogs, or
guns, or strangers, and unable to bury
or hide the newly born pups, the
mother may kill them by just carry
ing them around in her fear. SO
have been trying to overcome the
fox's fear of men and animals
81 felt that if l could raise a litter
of the fox pups on a mother cat they
would become accustomed to our han
ding them, fonding them, talking to
them, accustomed to strangers and the
barking of dogs, and learn their pro-
lection from all harm while in our
care.
1--WE had our difficulties. We had
to give over the whole lower floor of
our home to the experiment, but it
was worth while for once, although l
am afraid the trouble would deter us
again.
1.-The pups responded to the treat
ment and show confidence and play
fuIness with me and no fear of Wis
itors, passing dogs or the occasional
hunter and his gun in the woods
near by"
