t.lll'.'~'. as it has bccn a rather iai- , l orablc Spring for foxes.

Some time ago the Charlotte- town Pox Club was invitcsi to visit . the Snmmerside Club and discus lV-INVS and means whcrcby the fo.\ 3 industry could be improved. The following is a paper read by D Stiriing McLean at the above meeting. It has caused considei- 3 able discussion, as many of the ideas are quite revolutionary, but may be none the less beneficial.

Demonstration Ranches y "The establishing of Dcnionstra- i tlon Ranches at all fox centro- lttliiii be the quickest and best any to improve the quality of our ..ll\'f‘l‘ foxes. ‘

"Not only would we ﬁnd out liow l to feed our foxes the cheapest way , to get the desired results but what t is far more important the toxrun-

or more breeders or ranchers yvill- ing t0 supply twenty or more fe- males should form a fox club and ask their local government to es- tablish a ranch. Thcsc nccd not cost. a great; dcal: twenty dollars. per pen would suffice providingthe ranchers would supply the labor free. The rent for a suitable site would without doubt be gladly giv- en free.

"To join a club, each member! would have to supply one or morn l female foxes and be responsible for a suitable mating. as well as pay the actual cost of the feed for his fox and hcr pups. The orig- inal foxes and the increase would always remain the property of the owner. so the only extra cost of producing pups would be a. charge per pen each month sufficient to pay for a caretaker. This "should not run over $2.00 each. If only a small number in the ranch some. reliable rancher could handle the work along with his own if located nearby. A cost of $3.00 per month would only cqual the value. of an ordinary pelt.‘

“Two or more ranchers could club together and purchase an outstanding male fox for their own use. These animals. or matings from them. could be exchanged from time to time for others equal- ly as good in the same or other clubs. Most of the tops each ycnr would by this arrangement not only be more liable to stay in tho Province but would’ naturally get more cud lr-ibi l\\ -t

“Nothing but the higher grades‘ of animals riiqulrl be allowed ini these ranches. Pnriics interested in improving this great and prof- itable industry. but not owning foxes at present. could be persuad- ed to join. Otlicr ranchers not having foxes good enough would be helped in picking good individ- uals from outstnndio: herds.

men who gct so interested in tht diffcrcnt hockty tcams clc. would get behind some of these clubs they would find hobby and gel lust as much kick out of the com— petition.

"Visitors and buyers to the Pro- vince wuold be invited to call and inspect thcsc ranches and mucl-

l advertising would be given the in- i dustry at practically no extra cost Strains or families of foxes pro-i

duced in these ranches would soon

lget a reputation which would be i ;vcry proﬁtable to the oymer, and

buyers of this stock would be tak- ing very little risk when payms high prices for some." '

In a letter to lthe writer Mr. Afr-Lean says:—"Whcthci' you are aware of it or not, your column in the Saturday Guardian is closeli and widely" read and lnﬂuencc: many more foxmen than perhapr you are aware of. If I may maki suggestion, it is that you open a section of this column under the heading, ‘Suggestions to Improve Our Foxes‘. I B-m quilt?

The suggestion of Mr. McLean that fox ranchers write to this column is a mighty good one. Such suggestions coming from various parts of the province would have the effect of creating more inter- est in the industry and bring out new points of view, in fact fresh- en up our outlook very materially. The writer will be only too happy

to hear from any silver fox ran- l

chcr on this tliiijftt.

Frank F‘. Tnplin of‘ Cloverdale. 13.0.. has the leading article in the April issue of the Canadian Fox and Fur, entitled "Raising Good Silver Foxes". Mr. Tuplin was one of the early pioneers of fox ran- ching here, being located at New Annan, where he made a great success of. and a lot of money out of, llvc fox sales, ﬁnally selling out his herd to the Tuplln Fox Corporation.

The writer remembers visiting him on the 31st of August. 1913. with a certified check for-.$96,000 for which he ivas to deliver six pairs of silver black fox pups to Col. E. F‘. Emory of NewportJ/er- mont. Prank was evidently not as far along in knowledge of nutrit- ion at that time as he is now, be- cause there secmcd to be a. lack oi Vitamin D used. However, he was very fair about the matter and succccdrti in snttsfyiing the Col- Tho next. problem was to secure boxes to transport them in. as in those (lays when foxes werr at their pcak prices. lit was un- thnught of to have specially made fox crates.

After considerable cffnrt and the use of a hatchet, some soap and biscuit boxes were made ready but it was (lurk when we loaded thcm on the cypress wagon and thcn we set out to return to Ken- sington. It was pitch dark before WC arrived there and cvcry fcw minutes I would lnol: around and

"We have zd. present in the Ev- pr-rnnriitiil Stations men dolor: neccrrnry scientific work. We should not ask these men to waste their time doing simple or- dinary" work which we can do just as well ourselves. Both kinds of ranches are necessary and can be run to their mutual advantage. No doubt one of these men could be made avafable to check up and help the ﬁeld men tn the] work done in the new ranches. Often their ﬁndings would have a better effect if demonstrated with better animals.

"Demonstrations could ho held regularly showing the best and Draper ways of handling all the many activities connected with the raising of foxes. In the fall. local live and ne shows should be ii "r? ~ _... : _-; ._ -

Iliihlichts of Mr. Tnplinls ar- ticle arc: "Silver fox shows can be made very beneficial and they can also be made detrimental TA"- my way of thinking. They are beneﬁcial in so far as at fox shows where animals are impartially Judged. brceders who attend such shows may have a chalice to be- remr- Wlllvntcd as to the values oi ihe diffcricnt animals shown. How- cvcr, many foxcs that are judged as prize winners may vary much when dressed out as pelts. It. is hard to Judge the value of n. pelt on a llvc fox. Prize winners are usually good individuals. but I have seen many prize winners fall to produce good pups...

"My pens are 6 x 24. roofed over. with an electric light in each. The kennels arc inside the pen at the back end and away from the feeding doors. They arc the same old shed-roofed kennels that I or- iginally made when I ﬁrst began 3'7 years ago. They are the eas- iest of access, the best to work WW1 and Rive the best scrvlcc.
