Excerpt from Fur-Farming in CanadaRapid progress has marked the fur-farming industry since the publi cation Of the Commission's first report on the subject a year ago. From all parts Of Canada requests have been received for information and for copies of the report. TO meet this demand it was deemed advisable to issue a revised and enlarged edition, SO as to make the report as up to-date as possible.Assistance in the preparation Of the original report, as well as the revision, has been received from various sources, many of Which it is impossible to acknowledge here. It seems fitting, however, that special mention should be made Of the courtesy and assistance rendered by Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton for helpful suggestions, as well as for permission to reproduce from his Life Histories of Northern Animals, the maps showing the ranges in Canada Of the Red Fox, Raccoon, Mink, American Marten, Skunk, Muskrat, and Beaver. Valuable statistics of fur production and sales were furnished by the Hudson's Bay Co., through the Office of the Canadian High Commissioner, by Messrs. C. M. Lampson co., Messrs. A. And W. Nesbitt, Mr. Emil Brass, Mr. J. D. Whelpley and others. Messrs. Henry and Ernest Poland, of P. R. Poland Sons, London, England, courteously revised a number of tables of statistics, in addition to providing considerable new material. Mr. R. H. Campbell supplied a short article on the Reindeer, Mr. Johann Beetz on the conservation Of game in Quebec, and reports of the Ameri can Breeders' Association, and the Fur News Magazine have been freely quoted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
