Orem sol at North River in qua! was taken on the question of build ing a new steel ferryboat in bllll-1 gow to cost sixty thousand dollars. 'rim vote stood 149 to 72 against yi " I I -4 PRINCE comparatively new and also prosper- ous. We refer to the black fox indus- try. It was some ilfteen or twen-ty years ago that the work began in a small way by the discovery ofa lit- ter of young foxes, some of them nearly black, in the western part of the Island. Even then it was known that a genuine black fox, of good size`a_nd with lustrous fur is the most valuable fur-bearing animal in the world. ' The notion of keeping these young foxes alive, _multiplying and imprcii- ing the stock, took shape and after patient trial has proved not only there uere many losses from escapes and from improper feeding, Nothing short of a closely mashed wire fence, 'Ililrh enough to prevent reynard from jumping over it from the top of a snow drift, and buried deep enough in the ground to keep him from hur- rowing under it, would enable the fox farmer to retain his precious lirc stock in keeping. But these and other difficulties have been already surinountcd. Prince Edward Island has few new|course the blackest of the tribe and industries but it has one that is ‘steadily eliminating all the lower grades. In a litter of five to eight which the female fox brings forth once a year may be found perhaps one or two which when grown will be of great value, while others of the same brood may be comPl1l`Btl"'°\Y worthless. But careful mating has now, as we, are informed, established a reliable strain that has command- ed attention in the great fur market of Lohdon in which some of our Is- land fox breeders are able to com- manditop prices. : - Already in more than one instance, it is said, the sale of a black fox~ skin of greater or less value has paid profitable but lucrative. But at first 0f’I’a farm mortgage, or built a new farni house, or paid a boy's way through college, bought the daughter a piano, or provided her with a dow- ry at marriage. And the business is expanding and is capable of further indefinite expansion. Think of the possibilities from such an industry. The demand is far in excess of the supply, especially for thebest skins, and it is quite within the bounds ol probability that black foxes of su- preme value can he bred as true to " I __ And there are foxes and foxes, the the laws of heredity as can Ayrshire I Thermometers If`.\'cr_\'onc should huvc fi, good ihcriuouicter in the home, you will find it very liandy, it will help you keep the house at fi right ieinpcrziiiirt-_ ' Prices from i5c up.

Taylor common red fox whose pelt‘is worth but a fcw dollars, the silver grey of much greater consequence, worth some hundreds, and the so-called black fox whose top value may reach $2,500 to $3,000 for a single skin. The Guardian is informed that the largest figure here named has al- ready bcen realised for one single skin. And so it has come about that notwithstanding the very consider- able H€ffl`€CY and reserve that has been maintained by the breeders, me industry has .broadened out until now there are not fewer than twenty and some reports say as many as forty firms or individuals now en- gaged in fox farming. The 0b.I@Ct of the breeders is to per- fect the stock as far as possible by breeding only the best, which are, of ‘cattle, or any pure breed of horses. sheep or swine. When the breeders have all attain- ed the skill and stock that some have already gained, the industry promises to become of large import- ance. A kennel of good black foxes is now worth many times all the live stock on a good farm, and un- der skilled care and attention will multiply rapidly. Of course, the in- dustry is yet in its pioneer stage, but when it is expanded and perfect- ed, may we not expect that hundreds of black foxes each worth the price of a farm will be produced yearly in this Province. And only 3,334 black foxes at $3,000 apiece would pay thc price of a ten million Tunnel to the mainland!
