Poor Man's Philosopher On How
Wives Can Raise Own Fur Coats
By HAL BOYLE
§T. PAUL Minn.—(AP)—Does
vour wife want a new fur coat?
" “well tell her to grow her own.
All it takes is a couple of Chin
chillas and a little time—say five |
to ten years. Then she shouldl
have enough Chinchillas to make
herself a fur coat that sold for |
$30,000 a general ago.
Raising Chinchillas today is one‘
of America’s fastest growing live
<tock industries.
Some 5000 people in the United
Giates and Canada now are breed
ing the furry little herds for fun
or profit. All you need to start
«ith is a pair of Chinchillas in
love and they sell anywhere from‘
SSOO to $1650 a pair.
Typical Rancher {
Dale Mathews, 23, an Army vet- |
cran who was graduated this year
from the University of Minnesota,
is a typical Chinchilla rancher. |
“When I got out of the army in
1947 I had saved.up some money,"”
he said. “It was a question with
me of investing it or spending it
on clothes and a new car. In May
of 1948 T bought a pair of Chin
chillas for $1,400.”
Dale now has a herd of 12 of
the valuable pearl gray little ani
mals, and recently sold a pair that
got him back his original invest
ment.
“In ten years I should have a
ctock herd of 200 or 300, not count
ing others I expect to sell,” he
caid. “I intend to raise them as a
sideline only, but they can be
made into a real business. There

are people now making $15,000 to
$20,000 a year from them.”
Chinchillas, natives of the Andes
mountains, were hunted almost to
extinction by 1919, when their
{ pelts rose to $lB5. In 1923 M. F.
’ Chapman, a mining man, succeed
i ed in bring 11 to this country. Most
| of the 50,000 to 60,000 Chinchillas
now in this country stem from his
,small herd.
7 Years More
“It will take another seven years
before the Chinchilla fur market
develops,” Mathews said. “The in
dustry needs 500,000 to 1,000,000
pelts a year before it can really
get going.”
But raising the hardy little ani
mals—they orly weigh about a
pound—is no trouble, :
“It costs only about $3 a year to
‘feed one,” he said. “And a man
can easily take care of 100 pairs
l'and still carry on a full time job.”
| What makes chinchilla fur
prized is its fabulously soft tex
ture. Only one hair grows in a
| human follicle; 60 to 70 sprout
from a chinchilla foilicle.
The pearl gray rodents look like
a cross between a small rabbit
and a white mouse. They eat
grain pellets and vegetables, are
| nocturnal, friendly and monogam
ous. Mama bosses the family.
No Rivals Allowed
“If you put another female in
with a mated pair,” said Mathews,
- “the wife immediately starts a
| fight with her. She doesn't want
‘lher in the same pen.”
| The Chinchillas mate — usually
for life—at six months, Rave one
to three litters a year, and live to
be ten to twelve, :
“They are vermin-free and
odorless, and about the only di
sease they ever get is constipa
tion,” said Mathews. “Usually you
can cure it with one raisin.”
He expects pelts to average SIOO
or more, but says even if they drop
to $25 he can still make money
from them. As a fully grown
Chinchilla weighs only about a
pound, it takes 150 skins to make
a fur coat.
So if your wife wants to raise
her own Chinchilla cloak by 1960,
she’d better start now. One thing
about Chinchillas—you can’t hur
ry them, ‘

LEGAL SAFECRACKER SOLVES
EIGHT-YEAR DILEMMA
MURPHYSBORO, Ill.— (AP) —
A safe expert opened a Masonic
safe which members had been un
able to open since their late sec
retary died in 1943 with the mem
orized combination.
Lodge members had-been all but
readyto break into the safe to see
their records.
But the job was done in 10 min
utes by Tobe Monday who only
twisted the dial and listened to the
safe’s inner workings, He did the
trick in front of awed Masons who
had requested the traveling safe
expert to have a look at their safe.
NEW ARCHEOLOGICAL
DISCOVERIES
CAIRO —(AP)— Wendell Phil
lips, American archeologist of
Concord, Calif., told reporters here
he would soon open a display at
the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh,
of objects found in the ancient city
of Timnah buried under Arabian
sands.
One will be a gold necklace dat
ing back more than 2,300 years. A
number of bronze and alabaster
statues will also be shown. An
expedition led by Phillips found
the buried city in 1949.
Two new hybrid corns have
been added to the Georgia list of
certified seed crops. These are
Georgia 103 and Georgia 281.
The phrase “according to
Hoyle,” refers to Edmond Hoyle,
17th Century authority on card
games.
South Carolina was the first of
the 11 southern states which se
ceded from the Union in the Civil
War.
Commander of the British forces
at Saratoga in the Revolutionary
War was Gen. John Burgoyne.
