BLACK LONG FUR 



The fur of this variety closely resembles that of the silver fox and is 

 perhaps the most elegant of all. The fur is a silver gray next the skin, 

 shading into solid black, the whole ticked with silver hairs. These make 

 the finest furs, muffs and garments for ladies. Mature weight about 



nine pounds. 



Fur Bearing Rabbits 



The field for Fur Bearing Rabbits seems unlimited. The strange 

 and beautiful creations in furs by proper selection is an absorbing 

 game, and one that will pay well when the industry is more developed. 

 There is only one handicap in breeding rabbits for furs, and that is to 

 get enough of them produced so that a tannery can be established for 

 curing the furs, and a tailor shop for making beautiful garments, 

 muffs, etc. If we could have an assured supply so that this unique 

 industry could be established, it would add another co-operative 

 industry to the community that would give both profit and employ- 

 ment. 



The scarcity of fur bearing animals in the world today has stimu- 

 lated breeders to produce fur bearing animals to take the place of the 

 wild ones. Fur farms have been established for rearing foxr>, skunks,
