BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, FOX BREEDERS, \'yoming, Oni., Is Home of Canada's Second Oldest) Farm. Widespread interest /has been taken in the black-fox farming industry of Prince Edward Island and as a result that interesting venture has come to bs identified almost solely with the island province. It is forgotten thas Ontario possesses what is with one ex- ception the oldest farm of the sort in America, and has for some years been an active centre of the business. Of these the most extensive is that alone. He does not raise the ordin- ary red fox, whose fur is as yet in | this part of the world comparatively Only the "silver grays," whose fur is so expensive that only the very wealthy can afford it, are to be found on this Wyoming farm. The story of his success is best told by | Mr. Bowerman himself, and contains, in general, the experiences of the oth- er pioneers in this new enterprise. "Twelve years ago," he states, "while in business as a fur dealer, I saw the possibilities of profit in rais- ing fur-bearing animals, At great ex- pense I secured a pair of silver gray foxes which had been dug out cf their den when only puppies. spent thousands of dollars before I achieved { results and in these years I had to withstand the jeers of my farm neigh. bors who regarded the scheme as no- thing less than made. For I must confess that at that time the enter. prise did look a failure. Bat I found that my trouble had been in putting too many foxes together. I used to put two pairs in the same pen, until f discovered that the females are | very jealous of each other and if destroy their | For, in order to conceal the | placed together will yrung, puppies, the mother fox will bury them in the ground. This, of course, is done with the best of intentions, but always results in suffocation. The change in method ®rought re- sults remarkably soon. During the first year I tried putting each pair by themselves. I secured nine puppies, and since then I have found little difficulty but much experience in raising them. I keep the foxes in pens about 60 feet long and 20 feet wide, which are fenced off with poultry net ting and this extends four feet under ground to prevent them escaping by | burrowing. The "houses" are built of concrete and designed to resemble as much as possible the natural burrows. In the fall the foxes mate and in 52 days each female will give birth to from four to nine puppies about as large as kittens. And an import ant factor from a commercial point of view is that in one year these pup- | pies are mature. At the beginning of the winter I buy an old horse, the flesh of which furnishes food for the stock through the whole winter. I have increased the size of my pens from half an acre to five acres." The pelts are marketed in London, Eng. For a single fox Mr. Bowerman sometimes secures as much as $2,000 and for a pair to be used for breeding purposes he is paid from $4,000 to $5,000. For the past few years most of the foxes of the farm have not been killed for their fur, for, now that the business has been proven a suc- cass, many others are anxious fo start farms and he finds a ready mar- ket for breeding pairs. The animals are killed by chloroform in order that the skins may not be injured. The remarkable value of a silver fox fur lies in the fact that it cannot be imitated. The color is black, save at the tip of the tail, while around the | hips is found thé silver-gray band whieh gives the fur its value. At the root and tip the hairs are black but gray through the middle. Thus is produced a beautiful sheen which even experts are unable to imitate. The half dozen or so other fox farms in Canada are conducted practically on the same principles as that of Mr. Bowerman. Having for the most part, however, been started later than the Wyoming establishment, they have not as yet had time to achieve such results or become as well known. 'An exception, however, is the farm con- ducted by Michael Dalton on Prince Edward Island. This was started | about twenty years ago and is now proving an unqualified success. In 1910 he made $42,000 from his fur harvest. As in the case of Mr. Bower. man, many of Mr. Dalton's neighbors have entered the business. Another farm of note is that of Samuel Lucas, also situated at Wyoming. In addi- tion, a number of farmers in the Can- adian west are experimenting and as other fur-bearing animals may bs raised on the same farm as foxes the comparatively new enterprise looks to have a future of great promise. The depletion of the wild fur supply may yet prove a boon to maay. ------ To Fight White Plague.

E. Mer | cier of Levis. On page 272 of this | book the following is to be found: "The English sessions in North i | _ | America, are called New Britain, and | are divided into Labrador, Nova Sco- tia, New Brunswick on the northeast, | Canada in the centre, New Wales to | the west of Hudson Bay, New Cale-! donia to the. west of the great lakes, | while the shores of New Caledonia are called New Cornwall or New Han- | over, "Labrador is very cold, inhabited by Esquimsux; Nova Scotia is almost an island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, its capital being Halifax, doing a | large trade in furs.

Le Pays calls upon the superinten- dent of education to explain why such stupid errors are allowed. His Excessive Modesty. The story goes that one of the first cases accepted by Mahlon K. Cowan, the well-known Ontario counsel, when he started his career as a young law- yer in Windsor was a breach of pro- | mise case in which a fair daughter of | Essex County claimed the moderate | sum of $2,000 as balm for her wound- | ed affections. So ably did Mr. Cowan present her woes that the sympathetic jurymen awarded the plaintiff not only the full amount of damages | asked, but $500 more, This of course | | gave the defendant a valid reason for | appeal. The case was brought to | Osgoode Hall, Mr. Cowan ap- peated to argue his client's side of | the action. After counsel for both | parties had been heard, the senior | judge, knowing that it was Mr. Co- | | } ahd wan's first appearance before the aug- | ust tribunal of appeal, took occasion to compliment the young lawyer on | his able effort, and then hali-jokingly | asked: "How do you account, Mr. Cowan, | for the jury's generosity in awarding your client more than thé damages you claimed?' "Your lordship," answered Mr. Cowan, "that is easily answered. I am an Essex boy, born and raised on the farm. The jurymen were nearly | all farmers who have known me from my youth upward, and they were all aware that my chief failing was an excessive modesty which alone pre- vented me from asking all that I was entitled to." Water Color Bills. A ten-dollar counterfeit Bank of | Toronto note, which experts say must have taken a month to make, reached the headquarters of that concern re- cently. It is by a new process. Water. colors and brush and pen were used in its production, according to the bank's experts, who say its discrepan- cies only showed up to any extent under a magnifying glass. The note is a brand new one. A banker, who described the work of the counterfeiter as "remarkable," said four other banks besides the Bank of Toronto had their issues of five and tens imitated only recently. Because watercolors were used in each instance, the bankers are oon. vinced that a clever gang of counter- feiters are at work somewhere not far from Toronto. The man who does this work must be an expert in watercolors and drawing, said an expert speaking of the samples of his worl turned out in the form of counterfeit bank notes. Origin of "Fire Water." When the Hudson Bay Trading Co. began its trading among tli Indians it was found that by selling the Io- dians liquor they could more easily be induced to trade their peltries. The first whisky or intoxicant of inferior quality was distilled in Eng- land and brought to Canada in large barrels, but in transporting it over- lanl it was found more convenient to divide it into small kegs. The traders soon became aware of 1.e fact that by diluting the whisky with water more furs could be ob- tained. This was practiced for some time, but the Indians learned that good whisky poured on a fire would cause it to flame up, whereas had the whisky been diluted the fire would be quenched. It was by this simple e3- riment that the term "fire water" ame a common word among In- dians, f Good News For St. John.

Everything Has Favored Its Growth on the Seaboar" The story of the rise and Cavelop- ment of the art of music in Nova Sco.- tia would take us back to the earliest settlement of the province. The Acs- dians were a music-loving people; the first English settlers were a cul- tured race; the German element was richly endowed; there was music in their spirit and in their blood; the Loyalists were the cream of the Am- erican colonies, possessing in many cases more than ordinary refinement; while the Scottish and Irish settlers brought with them that Celtic char- acteristic, the love of the lyric muse. Halifax was the first English musi. | cal centre of British America. When | Cornwallis founded the tcwn in 1749, | there eats with him & brillians young | Trish officer of dragoons, Rich Bulkeley, as his side-de-camp, a geo- tleman of culture and refinement, and one who as King's Messenger had a | large and varied experience. Bulke- { ley was the first choir leader and | organist of St. Paul's Church. Rich- | ard Bulkeley may well be called the There father of music in Nova Beotia. was an organ in St. Paul's as early as | 1763, which gave place later to a fine | instrument, built in Spain for a South t Amercian convent, and brought Halifax as a priz: of war. This organ | is still in the province, at North Syd. ney, and is in constant use. he influence of the church in the promotion of i culture 'is not always given a true place. There is | nothing invidious in the statement, | that St. Paul's Church, Halifax, has | ocoupied a pre-eminent place in pro- | moting the study of good music. As early as 1769, an Oratorio was per- formed in St. Paul's Church, to the great delight of the music-lovers of | the day. The Philharmonic Society | was composed of the leading citizens, | sugmented by officers of the army and navy. The society had the ex: clusive privilege of parish records. In 1770 the clerk' was censured by the vestry, for leaving | his place in the three-decker pulpit, | and going to the gallery to sing an- them. The organist was also blamed, the quaint, minute runs he "discover- ed a light mind in the tunes played called voluntaries, and he was order | ed to play solemn tunes as voluntar. | | jes, and Psalm tunes in a familiar manner without unnecessary graces." | This was evidently a live subject for | a long time, for in 1799 it was resolv- ed: "That the anthems as now per | formed during divine service are per- | fectly consistent with the true spirit of devotion, and that the same be continued with the approbation of | the commanding officer." There is still preserved as a treas- | ured heirloom of Bt. Matthew's Church, the famous "Church Fiddle," | which was used in the eighteenth century to lead the singing in the | home of the Presbyterians and Con- gregationalists long known as St. Ma. ther's Church.--Canadian Courier. Solving the Fuel Problem.

They may not worry when a jump in the price of precious stones is annou . some hard thinking when the dealers in black diamonds announce another | ! increase in price. i Dr. E. Williams, chairman of the Board of Health, of London, Ont,, has been thinking about poor people's fuel lem, and has evolved a scheme to lp them. giving them to the poor. "London has twice too many trees," said Dr. Williams, in discussing his | proposition. "We could easily dis- pense with half of them. In my opin. ion, light and air are much to be preferred to the shade. Walk down any of the streets, and you will see that we have too many trees.
