Silver Fox and Mink Farming

‘ll-IE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

CONNECTED WITH

We had the pleasure o1 e. visit from Samuel Cannon of Miscouche who has been connected with fox "farming for 45 years, and friends. that takes one back to 1900 when the fathers of the industry, Dal- ton, Oulton, the Rpyners. the Tup- lins and others were just getting nicely started. A very retentive memory enables him to draw from it stories of those wonderful days that are indeed interesting. l-le is related to many of the actors in the great (ox drama days and one of the pioneers he most admired was 51in: Rayner.

We have heard a lot about Mr. Rayner and the descriptions al- ways fit our mental impression of the patriarchs of old. As a young man he went into the forest prim- eval at Kildare and built a home. cleared the land and brought up a large family, ,Neighbors Dalton and Oulton in their breeding ex- periments with foxes could not keep the news altogether secret and then too. Silas Rayner was a hunter like they were and their mutual attachment to this sport meant many afternoons - gunning in the woods. This it!!! to confid- ences and so Silas Rayner set out to secure some kind of foxes to experiment with. In his case it was reds and patches and from these he raised e very beautiful silver and secured from friend Dalton a male to mate with it. He raised some pups from these and later got one of Mr. Dalton’: best females and she produced six splendid pups. That moans a for- tune ln those days, but nothing got out about it. the news tvas kept in the family circle or imparted to intimates Dalton and Oulton. In a few years the Silus Rayner foxes were among the best, they being principally distinguished for size, conformation. lnrgc brushes and big white tips.

more silvery type, and Jim. who was a particular pal of Charles Dalton's, bred some qt the most beautiful dark silvers. Ail the Ray- ners made money very quickly and the, patriarch saw to it that his family and friends received a good share of the new wealth. They were brainy men, gifted speakers. and possessed of far more than the average ability and magnetism.

But let us continue with the father, Silas. It was from him’ that Franklyn Bovyer got his best pair of foxes and it wnsalways fascin- ating to the writer to hear Mr Bovyer talk about that pilrcliasc and to tell how plcnscri alftl hcov lucky he was. When I saw the de- scendents in 1919 I agreed with him. It was an unforgettable sight. that early afternoon in Oct- ober. The Bovycr ranch was urll wooded and just a glirrnmcr of lhc setting sun could bc seen through the dense sprucc. There {risking around were some of the most beautiful silvers I have ever laid eyes upon. A particular fcnturc that. impressed mc was the big brushes nnd largo whitt- tips they carried and these wcrc inherited from the original Silas R. a mule fox bought from Mr, Rayner at Kildare.

Mr. Bovyer (‘Vcnttlillly sold me the Bunbury Giant, that. was rcg- lstcred under lhc name of Niac- Kinnon 59. No other fox in my memory or that of those who saw him ever gave such an impression of majesty and beauty. When we went to the International Fox Show et Mechanics Hall. Boston.

ROBERT MUTCH V Mount Herbert

in 1W3. we were among the last to be looked over by the examining veterinary, It was late afternoon so he proposed that we would leave it until eight o'clock in the evening and we were happy to agree. That evening the greats of the eastern American fox world were present when we brought out our different show foxes. Finally when we got to the last box I said to my friend Arthur Roper. who accompanied me, “Perhaps we had better leave this little fox in here for the night, he might be a bit nervous it we tool: him out." but finally we decided that we might be unwise and anyhow he had to be looked over by the veterinary. Imagine the surpr 1e of the on- lookers when the Bunbury Giant was brought out for inspection. He was a fox! He was terrific and he won the International dark silver championship by a rndlc.

WQII, that is get-ting away fffln the story of the Rayners but it is just another evidence of the law of heredity and a reflection of the breeding skill and acumen of pa- triarch Rayner and that of Frank- lyn Bovycr, who no matter what he engaged in whether it was the growing of strawberries, the breed- ing of Clydesdale: or cattle. or the breeding of foxes, s" his standard high and reached it. We have the promise of another visit from Mr- Cannon in the not too distant fut- ure and if we can get a few hours of his time we will certainly have a wealth of stories of incidents of (the past to relate.

The many friends of James Tuplin of Black Banks will regret to learn that he is not in good health and was recently a patient in the Prince Edvmrd Island Hos- pltal. Mr. Tuplin was one of the pioneers ln silver fox farming and his ranch at Black Banks was the mecca- fnr hundreds seeking the very bcst in silvers. In the days o1 high priced pelts M. Tuplln received over $2000.00 f r s. well silvereil specimen and frequently over 51.00000 “East 490" which a section of his ranch was named. meant that a skin from there had fetched £490 at CM. Lempscn 6a Cols sale. London. It was there that the “three-logged Oulton" fe- male was domiciled and her pro- geny sold to various ranchers led the london cities for "”l'"ral sszt-

sons. The late GeOrge Tweedy would certainly go into ectasies in describing her and it was a daugh-

chascd from Robert Oulion that made n small f0rtunc for him and put, him in the fox hail of fame. Mr. Tupiin had a peculiar knack with foxes. that is to say he see-m- ed tq understand their moods and lrnow how to gain their confid- ence.

One of the greatest fox pictures that I can recall is when I visited his ranch in the lntc fall of i913 and saw the breeding stock that he was rctwlnink. Never before had I seen such silvcrs or such large foxes in numbcrs. It ‘was the Jim Tuplin strain that was the found- ation of the Carruthers and Lantz ranch and I believe it, was from that ranch that George E. Brown got the foundation stock which produced thc illmOllS Bonnie View 42B. e trust Mr. Tupiin will soon be in his usual good health again.

so fur no silver fox sale of i947 has been auctioned either in the United States or Canada that we ltave noticed, but ranch mink which mature earlier than fox are going on the markets in great quantities. At Seattle. Washington. Novem- ber 30th., ranch mink and musk- rat advanced 10% and marten 7% from the previous sale. Fine fe- males brought $16 lo I18. males $24. to $28.. ordinary females 81B. to $15., males $20. to $23. Muskrat selected lots brought $2.40 to $2.56. average collections $2.20 to $2.35.

The New York Auction Comp- any will offer 5.000 pastel type mink at a mutation mink sale De- cember 22nd, according to the president. who claims the collection is the finest ever offered in quan- tity and it is the first time that this type of mutation mink will be offered at the start of the At the same sale 30.000 silver-bin mink and 2.000 white mink will be auctioned.
