FOX FAKMIMS I'llOFlTAOLE
-IK VOU KNOW HOW
The gradual extermination of wild
animals throughout the continent
has brought ou an alarming scarci
ty in raw furs within the last few
years, aud Mr. A. D. Shubert of
Chicago, president of A. B. Shu
bcrt, Inc., the largest hpuse iu the
world dulling exclusively in Amer
ican raw. I'urj, has shown that if
attention is not given to the domes
tic culture of certain animals, tho
country will soon lose one of its
greatest industries. Among other
things he has encouraged and fos
tered tiiev<silv» r fox farming and
thousands of inquiries are being
received from enthusiasts all over
North America. Last year Sau
tter t's collection, o' one hundred and
twenty three black and silver fox
brought the highest prices ever
known in European markets. Tho
nobility of Europe vied with each
other iu bidding at the sales to ob
taiu these beautiful furs.
Although there are thousands of
dollars in >t for the successful
raiser of black and silver foxes, n
very small number of those who at
tempt it succeed to a practical ex
tent. The reason for this lies in
the fact that whoever engages in
fox farming inast be fitted for the
business with a very even tempera
ment snd an abundance of patience.
The habits o° the animals must be
studied carefully. They must be pre
sented with an environment as
close to natiiie as possible. They
are usually fe.l twice a day, and re
ceive a quart*..* of a pound of meat
each day, but wild game, such as
pigeons, chick-v.s, mice and rabbits,
is also fed to them to keep up
their wild instincts, and make them
feel moro at hom© In their sur
roundings. Tfycy are kept in wire
netting inclosures and given plenty
o' opportunity to burrow, a con
crete wall extending into the ground
lor some distance to prevent their
escape. If the mother is disturbed
in any way a;, breeding time, she
will oftentimes kill the entire litter
of young onerf, for fear of their
safety, and 'many times the mere
curiosity to know how many young
were in a new litter, has caused the
mother to kill them all. She docs
this not for spite but for the loye
of her babies. Black fox mate in
February and March, and the litters
come In April and May, or to be
exact, fifty-four days later. Over
feeding has also spelled defeat for
many a fos-raiser, and it is even
better to underfeed than to over
feed these animals. Overfeeding
is dangerous as it causes intestinal
trouble, and fat animals moreover,
will not breed.
Each year the supply of wild fox
es becomes more scarce, while the
ranch bred fox is on the increase.
The Indians of Yukon Territory cap
tured fifty-six iive foxes last yeatV
only two of which were black. How
ever, the pelts of the ranchbred fox
are in many ways superior to .the
wild skius, ns the animal can bo
tlosoly watched, and scientifically
fed. At the same time, the domes
tic culture of black and silver foxes
is a tedious undertaking, and while
the successful fox raiser is hand
somely rewarded, many have cast
their lot, but few-have had tho
skill aud patience .to succeed.

mony gratefully given by a resident
of this locality:
H. J. Durfee, Box 349, Lynden,
Wash., says: "I was troubled by
my kidneys off and on for years. If
I caught a slight cold, it always
settled in the kidneys. My b»ick,
too, became very lame, weak and
painful. Finally, on a friend's ad
vice, I- began using Doan's Kidney
Pills and.in a few days the trouble
left. I know many i persons who
have been benefited by Doau's Kid
