Fox farming in Maine yields riches on Norton hillside
Elijah Norton of Bangor turns to foxes as profit engine on his Piscataqua hillside farm. He built a 16 foot high wired enclosure across 1½ acres, created den-like kennels, and reared red blue silver gray and black breeds. Norton claims inbreeding can yield true blacks and silver grays. last year sold a pair of black foxes for 500 dollars, with a valued quartet at 1000 dollars. The animals are cared for on scraps, water in summer, snow in winter, and show fox-like loyalty to their keeper.
