Fur Animals Are Profit Bringers
Washington D C Jan 9 Acc ording to the annual report of the biological survey recently submitted to Secretary Wilson the rearing of fur bearing animals in the United States for their pelts continues to be a subject of much interest. Skunks, musk rats, mink and foxes are reared in captivity or on preserves under control of breeders. The large prices asked for mature black foxes for breeding purposes has resulted in confining the industry in the hands of a few. Com paratively few attempts have been made to raise mink in the United States but experiments are being conducted in cooperation with the national zoological park with a view to determining the most successful methods of reiring these animals. Muskrat farming has probably reached its highest point of development on the eastern shore of Maryland. Muskrat marshes are forth more measured by their actual income than cultivated farm of like acreage in the same vicinity. Only one other animal in the world the European rabbit exceeds the muskrat in the number of ?aking marketed.
