PECULIAR LIVE STOCK FARM Canadian Ha Pleasant Poeelbllitie in His Proposed Raising of Black Foxes". Probably few, If any, men In thla province have started a black fox farm at les cost than Kobert How ley, proprietor pro-prietor of the Laurentlde preserve at Lake Edward, says a Quebec correspondent corre-spondent of the Montreal Gazette. While up at Koberval Mr. itowley heard that a man there hud four young pups, part red and part black. It la said that nobody wanted to buy tbe animals, though the price was about $10 or so a head. Mr. Itowley gave tbe man bis price. The next morning Mr. Frldman, manager of tbe black fox ranch of Lieutenant Governor Wood of New Iirunswlck, who bad been scouring the country for young stock, saw the foxea and immediately went Into the hotel and in front of every one present offered Mr. Rowley several sev-eral thousand dollars, but waa refused. When the villager realized the offer some of them almost collapsed on the spot and the place ha been fox crazy ever since. Mr. Rowley is also purchasing a pure black dog fox at a very small sum and will cross It with the IKter which he got so cheaply. He expects to bav a litter of pure black foxes next Vi-spring.
