One of those | Pricey Little Mink | Has Many New Roles | By FRANK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer CH A R LOTTETOWN (CP)-- When a woman looks at a live mink, chances are she has a vision of an expensive fur coat or stole. It used to be the same with the mink rancher but the pic- ture has changed. Nowadays he's likely to see a mink-trimmed sweater or hat, fur tie and garters or even a mink backscratcher. Ranchers say the days are gone when pelts were destined solely for such costly items as the $15,000 coat recently pre- sented to the Queen. "The mink business today is not the coat business,' says George MacNeill, who earlier this year bucked the trend in Prince Edward Island by es- tablishing a mink farm at a time when many others were closing shop. "We are dependent on the middle - class trade in small pieces such as stoles, capes, jackets, hats and accessories." Last year some 1,500,000 skins were used for trimming sweat. ers. GRANT FROM PROVINCE Mr. MacNeill started the first mink ranch in Newfoundland ini 1955 when he had 1400 mink flown from Saskatchewan. He founded the MacNeill Fur Farm Company at Whitbourne, Nfld. Now, backed with a provin- cial grant of $25,000, he has; started another ranch at Mor-| ell, P.EL, about 25 miles from| Charlottetown, with 1,000 ani- Starting with about 800 breeder females expected to producy 3,000 young this spring, he hopes to build at Morell a ranch that will produce 10,000 mink in about three years When Mr. MacNeill moved from Saskatchewan he used an aircraft to transport live mink for the first time. Not one of the nervous little animals was lost in the journey. The airlift from Newfound- land earlier this year was pre- carious because the animals left in 35-degree temperature and arrived at Charlottetown in 10-below weather. But Mari- time Central Airways managed it without loss of a single mink. SUITED FOR MINK Asked why he made the move, he said: "Prince Edward Island has the greatest poten- tial for producing high-quality mink of any part of North America." The climate and availability of fresh fish from plants at Souris, about 27 miles from Mo- rell, were other factors. He says fish is the mink's nat- ural food. In answer to a ques- tion whether horse meat isn't the normal diet for the animals, he replied: "Did anyone ever see a mink go out and kill a horse? . . . Well they do wade out in streams and catch small fish." And because breeders are of-| ten faced with enormous trans- portation costs, he added: "In stead of taking the fish to the mink, we believe in taking the mink to the fish." a violin made in 1721.

He says it's 'bad management" when a rancher is forced to quit. He emphasized that the mink farmer must be constantly searching for ways to improve quality. Mink is the world's leading fashion fur because "there are 12 natural ranch - raised colors, from snow white to pale beige, blues, browns, greys and nat- ural dark."
