beginners of today have government

experienced and successful ranches to
draw from. 1t is a business espe-
cially adapted to women as shown in
the case of Mrs. Eva Gordon, who
started in 1915 with four pairs of sill
yer foxes and who has sold up to 1920
over $3.50, 000.0 90 worth of foxes and
pelts. The work being light, the gov
eminent is including it as one of their
vocational subjects for the crippled
soldiers. The writer personally has
been giving instruction to one.
Fox pens or yards are so x 25 #. x

the ground about three feet to keep
them from digging out; also extend
ing inward at the top about Is inches
to keep them from climbing over. A
wooden kennel 2 x 2 x 4 with a wood
en- chute s x 10 inches and 6 feet long
leads out from each. Foxes are fed
very cheaply. They will eat anything
a dog or cat eats, such as horse meat,
beef, dog biscuit, bread, milk, fish and
scraps.
The mating season is in February
and puppying season in April, with
n litter a year. Each litter has
fom two to eight, with an average of
four or five. The pelt prices have a
wide range, according to the quality
of the individual skin, ranging from
$3.50 to $1,000 each, and a few even
higher. Foxes breed when a year old
and continue about ten years.
The first successful fox ranch in the

BY William .. Rambo.

Until within very recent years the
silver fox was classed as a caprice OF
nature and was, withal, an extremely
elusive animal, appearing only occa
sionally among its wild red brothers,
as a black sheep. Sometimes one
would appear mysteriously in a flock
Of white ones.
From time immemorial 1t has been
the trapper's fondest dream to get a
Niger Reynard," knowing that its
pelt, il taken in its prime condition,
would bring him more money than all
the rest of his catch put together. Few
people in the cities had ever known
that such an animal existed; fewer
still had lei the matchless fur of the
silver fox. Its fur, owing to its great
beauty and extreme scarcity, for gen.
eratiOns went almost exclusively to
the grand courts of nobility, to mingle
on a par with the rarest gems and
finest products of the weavers' art.
But. through all those years a ge, m
OF a new industry was lurking I'M
seen and unknown in the fur of this
beautiful animal, waiting for men of
courage to venture in a novel enter
prise that has saved the world the
remnant of this precious furred little
nomad, and through forced evolution
been raised from a freak that it
was to a distinct and perfect species.
1t was given to a few Canadian
farmers of Prince Edward Island IN
begin the process of evolution which
makes this bastard type Of fox into a
.'ull-fedged member of animal society.
Long years of experiment were spent
the great objective was real
zed. Then came marvellous and swift
in a new industry, that
las paid a thousand fold for the early
appointments.

they are reasonable enough to enable
an individual to engage in fox ranch

a year he can liquidate his investment
by the sale of pelts and live foxes and
still have a growing business.
The experimental stage of the in
