From this we can see that the Fox breeding does not differ 

 essentially from the breeding of any other high-class stock. 

 Judgment, economy, cleanliness, and thrift will make it a suc- 

 cess. I am satisfied that any man who has made a success of 

 hens can make a success of Foxes, with this advantage for the 

 latter — a Fox requires no more space or care than a hen, but is 

 worth twenty times as much, so gives a chance for returns 

 twenty times as large.
