In the slightest object to such strange
little Kittens 1T the end of the
eighth week the pups are taken from
the mother and placed in the pen by
themselves, to be fed sparingly of food,
but when six months old they will be
taking more food than the old foxes.
"The feeding of foxes is a very in
teresting and very essential part of
their care. The fox does not rank high
in m enicureal sense. He is not at all
fastidioGs as to the quality of his food,
but it is regarded as essential TO the
health of the little animals that they
should have variety. In some cases
horse meat is fed, but beef is pre-
ferred. The meat of rabbits is regard
ed as a delicacy and the ranchers buy
up all that can be obtained"
The Colpitts ranch last winter paid
u more than $4,000 for rabbits
shared in this province. and also i'm
ported several carloads from the West.
A part of the fox ration is q parse
bread made of cornmeal or flour and
bran, and a generous supply of fat.
The refuse scraps from the biscuit fac
milk Is given In generous quantities.
The big Colpitts ranch takes the milk
of 40 cows, morning and night.
All the foxes from the best ranches
are registered with the department at
Ottawa. OF course registration is no
certain guaranty of value, but no ami
mai can obtain advanced registration
unless 1t comes up to a certain stand
ard, which includes pedigree. forma-
ton, and everything else that goes for
breeding and excellence. Not all who
go into the fox ranching business are
successful. The fox is subject to many
diseases, and once these get a foothold
1t is difficult to eradicate them.
Worms are one of the principal causes
of mortality, and the loss of ten per
cent of the pups is considered a fair
average. Instances are known of
ranches being entirely wiped out by
disease. AS a precautionary measure
some of the most successful ranches
dip their foxes twice a year into a
creolin mixture.
The origin of the silver black fox is
somewhat obscure. A Mr.. Oulton, pio-
nee in fur farming In New Bruins
wick, says the original black foxes
came from Newfoundland, but the sill
yer strain has been a development in
breeding. The native fox of New
Brunswick is red. and the fur is of
little value.
