Silver fox farming In several states,
among them Oregon, In the oplnon
o Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture, is one of the
coming Industry of the country, and
In a bulletin Just issued by his de
partment he strongly recommends
that the subject be given close atten
tion. "As civilization encroaches upon the
breeding grounds of wild animals the
mpply of fur steadily diminishes and
the price accordingly increases," this
bulletin says. "If furs as articles of
tue and adornment ore not soon to
disappear from general use methods
must be devised for raising fur-bearing
animals In confinement. This
subject is being Investigated by the
biological survey."
"The silver black fox la one of the
highest priced of fur-bearers, and
hence offers a tempting field for ex
periment. The business of raising
this animal is believed to promise fair
if not large returns for skill, experi
ence and the investment of moderate
capital."
The name "silver fox " as com
moly used by furriers, includes the
dirk phases of the ordinary re d fox.
variously called silver, silver gray or
black. This animal is the common
fox (vulpes fulvus) of northern North
American, the crafty Reynard of tho
books, closely allied to the European
fcx. It should not be confused with
the gray fox of the southern part of
the United States, a very different
animal, the fur of which has com
paratively little value.
Thus far the breeding of silver
foxes has been carried on chiefly in
Maine and In the Canadian maritime
provinces. The natural habitat of the
red, cross and silver foxes includes
the greater part of northern North
America, from the central United
States northward to and Including the
border of the treeless tundra.
The records show that the best lo
calities for raising with profit the
gray fox exist north of the southern
boundary of the Canadian zone. This
boundary crosses the states of Maine,
w Hampshire, Vermont Michigan.
Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Da
kota, anj extends southward along
the mountains of New York. Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and in all of
the states of the Rocky mountains
and westward. South of this line, in
the transition zone, foxes having a
fair quality of fur may be raised, but
the best are obtained only in the
Canadian and more northern zones.

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the paias and
aches which daily make life a burden.
It is to these faithful women that

comes as a loon and a blessing,
as it did to Mrs. V. Ellsworth, of
Mayville, N. Y., and to Jirs. W. P.
Boyd, of Ik-aver Falls, Pa., who say:
"I was not able to do my own work,
owing to the female trouble from which
I suffered. Lydia E. i'inkhnm's Vei?e

For thirty years Lydia V.. Pink

standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousandsof
women who have lx-en troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera

periodic pains, backache, that bea-Ing-down
feeling, flatulency, indite

siring to experiment In fox raising
should secure from two to five acres
of ground and Inclose It In ordinary
wire fencing. Ordinary barrels makd
excellent breeding places. Wild foxes
cat a great variety of food, includ
ing mice, rabbits, birds and Insects,
such as grasshoppers, crickets and
beetles, and for this reason are to a
large extent Inexpensive. They breed
only once a year, and the mating or
rutting seiison Includes the months of
February and March. The young
are born generally In April and May,
and the average In a litter may be
said to be five.
Tho expense of raising foxes Is
comparatively small. After building
yards and securing stock, running ex
penses are light. Without making ex
tensive estimates of the profits of a
well-established fox farm, it may be
said that every silver fox raised Is
likely to raise a pelt having a mar
ket value of over 1100.

THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE
IS NEXT BIG ATTRACTION
How like the strains of an old fa
miliar song, or the voice of an old
friend from far away come to us the
lines of that old nursery rhyme:
"Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the
fiddle!
The cow Jumped over tho moon. 1
The little dog laughed to see the fun,
And the dish ran away with the
spoon!"
Ye, whose weary, way-bruised feet
have trodden the gray old road ot
daily life, beaten down and trampled
by a myriad of hurrying people, at the
magic sound of that old lullaby are
wooed by its spell to the fair land of
childhood. Again our childish ears
listen to the voices in the woodland,
and our eyes catch, the flashing
glimpses of the tiny fleeting forms.
Wait and you shall see them. You
shall go back to the far off land with
all Its glamor and magic; a fairy land
more vivid and beautiful than the
Imagination of childhood ever pictur
ed will be shown. It is coming to
you. The old wonder story of long
ago, "The Cat and the Fiddle." Sweet
music will enhance the beauties of
the scenes and beautiful maidens In
dazzling costumes will flit through the
magic glades.
A company of over B0 people, se-'
lected with the care and skill of long
experience, will be seen In tho musi
cal extravaganza. j
The principals are all well known
as popular favorites, and the perform- j
ance promises one of the rarest musi
cal treats offered this season.. I
