RAISING MINK AND MARTEN
ON CHICKALOON FUR FARM
Dick Campbell, Chickaloon fur
farmt r, who vi ited Anchorage re
cently, told an Anchorage Times man
that on his ranch lie is raising mink
and marten, and says it is an ex
ploded idea that marten are hard to.,
raise. All that is necessary for the
successful raising of marten is i
proper attention and the right kind1
of food, and they are not big eaters, j
requiring less than mink. Mr. Camp
bell has live marten on his ranch at
the present time, and says they are
as playful as kittens.
There are ten mink on the Camp-1
bell fur farm, three bucks and seven
females, and they are all getting
along nicely. Two of the mother mink
have six pups each.
DON’T STOP MY PAPER.
Don’t stop my paper, Printer,
Don’t strike my name off yet,
You knoow the cash comes slow,
And dollars hard to get;
But tug a little harder—
Is what I mean t o do,
And s craape the dimes together—
Enough for m e and yoou.
I can’t afford to stoop it,
Annd I find it doesn’t pay
To do without your paper,
However others may;
t hate to ask my neighbors
To give me theirs to loan;
They don’t just say, hut mean it—
Why doon’t you get yoour own ? !
