Mink Farming

f; ~~ wwestevw

Reports we have heard from lox farms are to the effect phat production 1s smaller than last year. The reason given l; that uwtlngs were much later and quite a number report female: unmated. There has not been u ntany losses among pups born ss fa: as we can ascertain, that may be due to the fact that there was not so much severe cold thls season as is txsuully the case. In the Vlmy Ranch our mat- ings were on the average much later than usual and there an still quite a number of litters to arrive, some even as late as the middle of. May. '

The fox situation in Canada is unchanged since the sale Ln Mon- treal a few weeks ago. There has been some demand for small lots but no great nrumber of skins has been disposed of. There has been no sign of price improvement in the United States either. and very few skins are firming insh- woy to the public auctions. Just what quantities are held ln rc- serve by big prfldincers like Frcmm’s and Nlemanls one can- rct tell, but n0 doubt there is a large number. In Canada the sit- uation in that respect is not near- ly so bad and if we could get two or three good auction sales 1t \vould clear up most of the pelts in storage. summing it all up it looks like another hard year for the fox rancher and not too bright prospects for the mink rancher. but one thing they have in their favor is that pelts arc selling freely.

last‘ week our story of the Be- cord Books of the sliver Black Fox Breeders’ Association of Prince Edward Island ended with a brief reference to the Henry Lewis ranch at Aiberton, P. E. I. This week the first ranch we mention ts the Riverside silver Black Fox Company, Summerslde, P. E. I. This company was well managed and possessed a very famous line of foxes bred by Simmons dz Lec- ky. Summer-side, Magic Sliver Black Fox Company — the off- spring of Magic Jacob 2nd and Magic Beatrice _- foxes of Jim Rayner breeding. A. E. Forrsythe of Albertcn, C. B. Morris of Sum- merslde, R. T. Oulton, Little Shcmcgue, N. B. and Frank F. Tuplln. Messrs. Simmons dz Decky appear next with foxes of River- side and Magic breeding and other strains. They were among the best breeders of their era and their ranches fumlshed breeding stock that was valued highly. The Lecky name was continued by Mr. I.eclry's sons andioday the largest sliver fox rslch in the llferltlme Provinces ls operated by J. Wilfred Leaky, Summerslde, P. E‘. 1'.

Next appears the Provincial S11- vcr Black Fox Company with foxes purchased from John Ag- new, Alberton. and B. I. Rayner, Klldare, followed ‘by the A. E. McLean, Co, Ltd, with foxes purchased from F. F. Iuplln in 1011, Capt. John Champion in 151-2, l-lony Hunter and Gevrte W. Robinson. Sumnterside, John

Agnew, Albert/on, Willow Hill Co. Sun-tmcrside and others bred by the company. Mr. McLean will be remembered as a representative of Prince County in the Dominion parliament. for a great many years. He was so popular that his majorities were enormous. The A. E. McLean Company conducted breeding operations on quite large scale, their-registered foxes occupying five pages of the Herd Book. Mr. McLean continued his interest ln the industry up to his death although be had ceased being a breeder quite a number of years before his demise.

The famous Sliver Fox Ranch- ing Compay of Alberton, P. E. 1.. which we referred to before, oc- cupies almost two pages of regis- trations in addition to those pro- vlousiy mentioned. These were foxes whelped in 1914 and 1915. the offspring of their inundation stock previously registered. The operations of the conrpmy were under the immediate supervision cf F. L Rogers. Alberton and thelrmame was well known to breeders not only in the sMarl- times but also in the United States where quite s number of thelr foxes were sent. as founda- tion stock. Even today old-time

black foxcs for Russian stem. 1t v91‘? nearly carried titrough but some hitch occurred and the vsi- uabie animals did not get hora. Had they done so an industry equal to fox ranching might have r ‘ ’ as Russian ssbles us to- day uhe most expensive fur ex- tant. a single pelt seliin! for ss mttoh as $600. Rosebsnk Fur Farms occupies six pages of Vol. 1 and later on there are many registrations of offspring in Vcl. 2. It was Dr. Prank who made the first shipment -of foxes to ‘Japan. establishing the industry are.

The Imperial Silver Black Fox Com , Montague, P. 1!). I. was sno ranch that made s great contribution to the industry. It was under tho management of R. W. Stewart. Their fourtdstlun stock was obtained from F. F. ‘Poplin and J. C. Tuplln in i911. also from SilsLRayner and Hon. Charles lxlton in 1912. that. figure prominently in pedi- grees of greet foxes are Imperial Silas and Imperial Helen, both bought from Silas Rayner, and Imperial Jessie and Imperial Jack bought from F. F‘. Tuplin. When buying pelts in the 1920's we re- member. seeing some beautiful blue black specimens and on ask- lng Mr. Btewart their pedigree he would trace them back to th~se famous foxes. The Imperial Coin- puny continued into the 1920's and then when the depression came on it, like many others. passed out of the picture.

The next registration we lake up is the Bunbury Black Fox

Company, which was rencbed on the premises of Franklyn Bovyer. Bunions-y. P. l; I.‘ He was one of the principal shareholders. The original pairs owned by the Com- pany were Fanny and Jack Ray- ner, bred by B. I» and sllas Ray- ner. Fwd, also bred by them and slred by Magic Jacob and Magic Bess, also Kitty B. and Stewart- hred by B. I. and Silas Rayner.

It was the writer's privilege to become well acquainted with the late Mr. Bovyer and to have the pleasure of listening to him tell the story of his early breeding operations and of the 800d 10355 supplied him by Silas Rayner. Mr. Bower was a man that was suc- cessful in everything he under- took. as a horse breeder. a cattle breeder he was one of the best and his judgment in selecting breeding stock was unexcelled. For a considerable time he car- ried on the cultivation of straw- berries and of course Bovyer strawberries were the finest obtainable. but. I believe the fox industry was nearest to his heart of rnythlng he touched and it was my privilege to visit his ran-ch after I returned from over- seas and watch hint handlm! “me tidbits through the wire to his fa- vctlrltes.

The ranch was nicely situated in a spruce grove with plenty I’? shade that protected the D8115 i“ the fall from the rays of the sun. 1 had been around quite s bit {coking at. foxes before I went i0 ‘My, gov-yer’; the fall of 1919. but I will never 10KB?‘ i!" lmnrf" gign the ranch and foxes mode cn me that October afternoon.
