But the fox docs not monopolize the fur farmers' efforts. -There are in Canada ranches for the propaga tion of muskrats, beaver, mink, raccoon, martirw fisher and skunks. If they are provided with sufficient land on which they can live as in their wild state, and are supplied with food when the weather or un usual conditions demand it, they will thrive and multiply and yielJ the farmer rich returns. Each jKt sees more and more Canadian farmers settine apart a section of their holdings for th raising of fur-bearing animals. Where wild animals are caught and used for foundation stock, the cost of starting a fur ranch is very small. 'Raccoon ranches do very well on the outskirts of towns in which crnrbaire can be collected for their feeding. The present popu- larity of raccoon fur makes the "coon ranch" a paying proposition.
