Originally published in 1880, this classic manual on ferrets and ferreting contains a great deal of advice and information still of much practical use to today's ferreters. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing the most important of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include: The Ferret and its Congeners; Ferret Keeping; Ferret Hutches; Ferret Courts; Feeding and General Management; Breeding Ferrets; Crossing Training and Working Ferrets to Rabbits and Rats; Working Ferrets for Shooting; Hints on Shooting For Ferrets; Diseases of Ferrets
