More than 700 foxes of purest strains came before the judges at the Prince Edward Exhibition recently in what is des- cribed as the greatest fox show in the history of the industry. Prince Edwrad Island is the cradle of fox farming, but the industry hes-now spread to all the other provinces of the Dominion. The earliest record of the raising of foxes in captivity comes from Tignlsh in the northern part of the Island, where about the year 1878 a number of foxes were raised on a farm. The growth of the industry was slow until it was stimul- lated by the period of rlslng fur prices in the 90's. In 1913 there were 2'17 fox farms in Prince Edward Island with a total of 3,130 foxes. In the meantime, other provinces had entered thc industry, foxes being successfully bred In Quebec in I898, in Ontario in 1905 and in Nova Scotia in 1906. According to the latest records Quebec now leads all the provinces in the number of its fox farms.
