lame attendance or sent. Here are extracts .from it;

of their huge fdrtunes.

All the other provinces had their romsncas of wealth and industry- but we the people of Prince Edward Island, who remained here, aaw,of- tcn unviously, it must he admitted. of the wealth of which we had no part. All the money in Prince Ed- ward Island was made by hard till. perseverance and a thrift whic.h de- mod to a large extent the finer things of life. We hsd no huge for- est: nor water powers, no mines of coal, silver, or gold. and the ac-

‘cumulation of money was a slow

. process of adding one dollar on top l of mother. In the language of the Est:-set, the Islanders in a. hundred

i years of toll “never had 9. break." iBl.l't 1010 and 1911 saw the begin-

} ning of the romance of big business

i in our province which reads like a

‘fairy-tale>—e romance equalled by

.no other place in the world.

Sir Charles Dalton with others had visions of wealth if he could domesticste and fix the type of sil- ver fox. occasionally caught in the wilcls—working patiently and over- coming dimculties that would daunt weaker rnen—they laid the founda- tion of the Dalton production of foxe.s—s.nd steadily rising prices in 1911 and 1912, from $3,000 to $4,000. $5,000 to $6,000. $7.000, $8.000 and $il.tl00 to 82.030 a pair proved con- clusively that while the gambling spirit lay dormant in the province it was fttr from being dead. and the success of Dalton and others was perhaps in that. amassing wealth they interfered with no one's op- portunit.ies——but enlarged them all —-his was not the riches that comes by coralling wealth of natural re- s~urce.a of coal. gold or lumber-—but the success which comes from de- velopment of an entirely’ ’\ew type of resource by the domestication of fur bearing animals."

Mr. Harding goes on to give some details of feeding. etc.. as follows:

"Meat feeding. cereal feeding. Cereal food gives a pelt greatly in- lei-i:r to the meat fed pelt. early icxmen fed almost wholly on meat. Excessive feeding of wrestle gives a lighter pelt. lighter in weight and lacking 3. density of far. The type of pelt. developed in the early days was largely due to the heavy meat. ration then used, and the light weight pelt with the lack of density of the fur with its lighter leather is largely caused by excess feeding of cereals. .

In the early days the Dalton type of fox had a ﬁneness of texture, ll cleamess of oilor, a. densaness of cost and a wealth of run. not seen today. and has never been surpass- ed. The thin. short legs and crouching appearance are remind- crg to all who had the privilege of owning them. and the development of this type of fox places Dalton forever among the artists of the live stock world.

It seems that in other classes of the live stock world. DIOENBBS is the watchword. The Holstein cow gives more and more milk than her an- cestor, while the Siiorthorn cow furnishes ch:icer and luicier steak than her parents, the thoroughbred trotter is hanging up a new record every day, yet the record of Dalton in pelt. production constitutes an all time high."

lowell Hancock has just returned from holding a series of lox breed- ers meetings at various points in the Maritimes and I am ftriunate in receiving from him a shcrt ac- count of his tour. which I am sure will be read with interest by our for ranchers.

tions in regard to breeding stock or high quality for purchase this fall. Evidence is there will he A greater

than for several years. Particularly is this true since many sections vis- ited are me:-stills around 425 to $30 for their pelts, and they have come to the realization they must either elm up or get, better breed- ing stock with which to continue profitably.

As far as feeding goes, good unit had results were seen on all differ- on type of feeds adn feeding. sec- tions where rabbits or ﬁsh or both were used in large quantities dur- ing most of the year. seem to have much better production on the run- clies. Digby County for in:tance,in Nova Scotia. uses large quantities of fresh fish to growing pups and breeding foxes. ground in with cer- calls and meats. In Salisbury dist- rict. large quantities of rabbits are used most of the year together with cereals and some mmts, but very little fish. These two sections seem to have the best production records this past season. I ieelparticular- ly is this 50. because in grinding in the whole rabbit or fish. with only the paunch removed. or entrails and punch in the rabbits the fox is getting the glandular materials in natural form. which are benefic- ial to production.

Everywhere fox ranching was found on the increase. Many new ranches starting the past year and larger ranches increasing. Tcomuch emphasis is laid by 90 percent of the ranchers on feeding and not enough on breeding for improve- ment. Record keeping for breed- ing work seems to have passed out entirely in many sections. Here pu- tlcularly the ranchers are up against :1 stone wall. as indicated by their pelt returns."

silver fox scsrfs and capes are a favorite part of the apparel _of many !a.shi:nable women who tra- vel on the big liners between the United States and Europe. The scarfs are worn with deck promen- ade costumes and the capes are in demand for wear with evening gowns.

Arnold Licbc-s of San Francisco. whom we mentioned in this column prevloilsly as having imported a large number of choice Norwegian

silver for skins, reports to the fur

trade that his customers show an

excellent interest in the pelts. The

furs were offered in two-skin sctirfs

made up and retailing for from W15

to $650 per pair.

Marshall Fox Farm at Marshall. Minnesota. have 3. production of '15 fox pups from 14 females, three oi the litters having seven lox pups ciich. Last March this ranch was buried in a snow drift ten feet high and it to*k six men four days to dig the kennels out. during which time the foxes received no attention or food whatever.
