The first sale of pelts began about thirty years ago and \hey brought $2,000.00 each on the London market. At that time the breeding of black foxes was mon less of a secret-business, but along about 1909 it came into the open market and has steadily grown ever since. With the increase in fox farming, the output of pelts grew and prices came down until to-day the average price paid for a good pelt around $40.00. At that, however, is a good paying business. From Prince Edward Island fur farming has (spread throughout the world, states the Industrial Department of the Canadian Nat'or.al Railways. Rev. J. Cookery Demonstrator Suggests Fish Dish Everything has its good points and this dish is full of them. Easy preparation, quick cooking, the combination of two vegetables cooked at the same time and in the same dish with any variety of delicious Canadian fish you choose, few dishes to wash, and, in result, a tastily tempting main dish for dinner or lunch. What more could any cook ask! By the way. the dish serves six people and is recommended by Miss Hazel J. Freeman, one of the fish cookery demonstrators on the staff of the Dominion Department of Fisheries. Slice two medium-sized onions into a baking dish or oven casserole, add _ a few tablespoons of water and par- minister tially cook. While these are cooking, take two pounds of slices or fillets of fish--any kind of fish d vipe with a cold damp cloth, dust lightly with salt, and cut in sections for serving, first removing any skin that may be present. Place the fish the onions in the covered baking dish, pour a can of tomato soup over it, and bake in a hot oven--450 F. from 15 to 20 minutes, according to e thickness of the fish. A good tomato sauce may be made and used in place of the soup. " ished. To make this sauce melt i tablespoons of buter, blend with this tablespoons of flour and cook water with one and one-half cups of tomatoes. The tomatoes' juice may trained first, or not, as desired. Cook until thick and add one teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper, before pouring over the fish.
