Chinchilla Rabbits in Much Demand in the Fur Markets Beauflfl‘lfifimals Displayed at Recent Porcupine Poultry and Pet Stock Association Show at Timmins Are Very Popular in Many Fur Garments. _ Mr. Trollope, of Schumacher Has Nice Array of the Chinchillas. The Chinchilla rabbits shown at the recent Poreupine Poultry and Pet Stock show by Mr. Trollope, of Schuâ€" macher, roused a great deal of interâ€" est locally. Some time ago The Adâ€" vance made references to this type of rabbit as particularly adapted to this North Land and also very profitable. The Chinehilla rabbit is a little fuzâ€" zy rabbit with a soft gray coat and long ears, and is a great favourite with women when buying furs, beâ€" cause of its warm, silky fur. In the fur trade it travels under a great many names. _A recent book on ‘*The Fur Trade of Canada,‘‘ written by Mr. H. A. Innes, under a list of misâ€" named furs used by the fur trade, points out that rabbit is disguised and sold under the following names: Seal, (rabbit plucked and dyed), American, Arctic, Baltic, Northern, New, Polar, Semeuse Two L, Clipped, (Geller and Le Meuse. Cape Seal, Muskrat and Seal Musâ€" quash (sheared and dyed). Sable and French Sable (dyed). Ermine (weasel) (white rabbit). Coney. The Canadian Small Breed‘s Yearâ€" Book also includes Electric Seal, Hudâ€" son Bay and Redâ€" RKiver ‘Seal, fox, leopard and lynx, not mentioned by Mr. Innes. In thisâ€" connection, however, laws have been enacted reâ€" cently allowing the use only of certain trade names for different kinds of furs. _ *‘*‘One may readily appreciate the necessity for this,""‘ says the reâ€" port of the C‘ana(lmn Small Breeds‘ Association, ‘‘when two rabbits rearâ€" ed by the same mother may be seen on the same counter as *‘ white fox"‘ and ‘‘black lynx‘‘ respectively.‘"‘ THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The same report is responsible for the statement that more than half of the furs worn toâ€"day are made from rabbit skins. Some authorities place at 85 per cent. As far back as 1923 there were ten establishments in Canâ€" ada, one writer says, that were devotâ€" ed to the dyeing and dressing of furs. Of the two and a half million pelts treated by these establishments, rabâ€" bits comprised over one million. "Fur rabbits,"‘‘ says the ‘Northern Fur Trade Journal,‘ ‘‘are gradually but surely getting better known to the fur trade, the pelts selling at the recent Winnipeg fur sales at prices ranging from 60¢ to $1.75.‘‘ English furriers, it is reported, are offering 50e for each baby Chinchilla rabbit pelt. L4 s x P 7 At the Canadian National Exhibiâ€" tion at Toronto, in the first week in September, what is said to be one of the largest and most succeessful rabbit exhibits in the history of the greatest annual fair in the world, was staged. Entries comprised 800 rabbits and ‘250 entries of cavies. ‘*Considering,‘"‘ says the ‘Fur Trade Journal,‘ ‘"‘that at that time of the year adult rabbits are not at their best, the showing was very good and a marked improvement in the quality of specimens w as noted especially in the Chinchilla classes. An Englishman from Yorkshire, George Jennings, of Fort Qu‘Appelle, Saskatchewan, is stated to be the first to farm the Chinchilla rabbit in Canâ€" ada, and has done so successfully (says Norval Randolph in a recent article), When he brought these rabâ€" bits from England to Canada, there was doubt as to how they would thrive in the Western climate, but this doubt was swept away in his succeess. They withstood the severest winter. cold whilst running at liberty, requiring only a little hay or green sheaves as feed. In the year 1923 only one Chinchilla Rabbit farm was recorded in Canada. According to the last available reâ€" port issued by the Government, there were in 1924 but three Chinchilla rabbit farms in Canada, one being in Ontario and two in British Columbia, on which were 351 animals valued at $3,705; in 1925, these had increased to 15 farms, 6 located in British Colâ€" umbia, 4 in Ontario, 3 in Saskatcheâ€" wan and 2 in Manitoba with total animals on them numbering 1,215 valued at nearly $13,000. . Latest, unâ€" official, information is that there are now 25 Chinchilla rabbit farms in the Dominion, 7 being in Ontario, 7 in the Prairie Provinces, 6 in British Colâ€" umbia, 2 in Quebec, 2 in Prince Edâ€" ward Island and 1 in New Brunswick. The real Chinchilla, a small animal, about the size of the squirrel, regardâ€" ed by naturalists as a link between the rat, the hare and the squirrel, native to the mountains of Peru and Bolivia, which roams at an altitude of approximately 15,000 feet above sea level, is now very rare, having a live value of approximately $600 per pair with a single pelt value of $75. A better idea of the rareness and value of the genuine Chinchilla is in the fact that when prices were at peak W. D. Cuthbertson, L.A.

The mayor said he would give the matter his consideraâ€" tion and would take it up with his colleagues at the next meeting of the town oouncxl to be held on Nov. 30th. It was urcred upon the mayor that many Cobaltm«, working elsewhere do not come into town e\copt on Saturâ€" day after the liquor store has closed for the day, the hour being one 0°â€" clock on that day only. Consequently they are unable to satisfy their thirst in the manner prescribed by law. _ It was suggested that the staff at the store might be given â€" Wednesday afternoon off and work until six 0‘â€" clock on Saturday. The mayor deâ€" clared he was satisfied that, with the opening of the liquor store, a strong blow had ibeen delivered at the trade in illicit liquors. _ He thought that fewer blind pigs were operating in Cobalt, he told his fellowâ€"citizen, after the latter had urged that the bootlegger would be still furthex cramped if the Saturday opening were observed. level in 1920, a wrap composed of these skins sold for $55,000. Robert Hodgson, whose books on trapping and hunting and the domesâ€" tic raising of Canadian ‘furâ€"bearers, are well known and widely read, reâ€" fers to a further species or subâ€"speâ€" cies known as the Chilean Chinchilla. somewhat simifar, though smaller than its Peruvian brother. It has a finer skin and is smokyâ€"gray in colour with black markings, with the underparts of a dead gray with yellowish tinge. Chinchillas are being successfuly bred domestically in California. To replace the reat Chinchilla, French breeders produced what is known as the Chinchilla rabbit, the industry spreading from France to treat Britain and from the British Isles to this country. The fullâ€"grown Chinchilla rabbit has an apprommate weight of 6 lbs. with a uniform gray colourâ€"an exâ€" cellent imitation of the genuine Chinâ€" chilla. Its under fur is slate blue, each hair being banded with pearl grey and white with a needle point of black. The pure bred has a pearl white stomach, eyes of reddish brown and bluish ears. They require less attention, experts state, than almost any other valuable furâ€"bearer and are raised as is an ordinary rabbit.

The interest in the breeding of Chinchilla rabbits, in many parts of Canada, would augur that the indusâ€" try is here to stay and should increase rapidly in the coming years. If the fur in ladies‘ garments, under differâ€" ent trade names, is acceptable to the feminine public, what matter whether the garment be of rabbit or genuine seal or ermine or sable, if it be warm and stylish, for so long as it is of good colour and sylish and within the purse of the majority, it will find a market.
