Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fur Facts The question is often asked is trapping cruel, and the answer from anyone who knows wildlife is unhesitatingly it is not. Agnes Laut, who is probably one of the best informed women on wild animal life in the country, has pointed out that there is less cruelty in trap ping than there is in the slaughter house. Anyone need only go into the wilds to at once realize that natural wild life is more cruel by far than the most careless and thoughtless hunter. To begin with there is hardly such a thing as natural death in the wilds. The weak fall victims to the strong. The weasel hunts the rabbit and kills indiscriminately; the fox hunts the weasel and so on through the en tire list; and if fur bearing animals did not multiply with such ter rific rapidity they would soon exterminate one another. To give an idea of the rapidity with which wild animals multiply, a number of years ago a settler in Australia, whose home had been in England, decided to have a pair of rabbits sent over to Australia as pets for his children. Previous to this time there were no rabbits in Australia and the rabbit was not a native of the soil. The pair of rabbits which this English immigrant had sent over from the old country was the beginning of the Australian Rabbit. In due time the rabbits had a litter of young. Some of the young were given to neighbor as pets for their children. Finally some of them left the barn yard and took up their home in the wilds. This was the beginning of the wild rabbit in Australia. There was no other wild life to destroy them with the result that they multiplied so rapidly that in a compara tively short number of years they overran the country. It became necessary for the Australian Government to build hundreds of miles of rabbit-proof fences to protect farms and ranches from their de predations. Their number ran into the millions and no headway seemed to be made against them. The pest, however, turned out to be a profit for the reason that their fur is valuable, the hair being used in the making of felt, most of our felt hats being made from Australian rabbit skins. The finer grades of skins are used for furriers' purposes for making low-priced furs. And are known in the trade as dyed coney.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ferret Facts and Fancies: A Book of Practical Instructions on Breeding, Raising, Handling and Selling; Also Their Uses, and Fur Value At the present time ferrets are mostly used to exterminate rats and for rabbit hunting. For rats they are much usedin barns, gran'aries, grain elevators, mills, stores, levees, walls, ships or any place where rats are. If rightly used and handled there is no better or quicker way to rid a place of the pests. Where rabbits are doing an injury to fruit trees, etc., ferrets can be used to advantage. Ferrets are also used to some ex tent on the large Western ground squirrels, gophers and prairie dogs. Some success has also been had in using on mink, skunk, coon and other fur-bearing animals.

This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Seattle Times selection for one of Best Non-Fiction Books of 2010 Winner of the New England Historial Association's 2010 James P. Hanlan Award Winner of the Outdoor Writers Association of America 2011 Excellence in Craft Award, Book Division, First Place "A compelling and well-annotated tale of greed, slaughter and geopolitics." —Los Angeles Times As Henry Hudson sailed up the broad river that would one day bear his name, he grew concerned that his Dutch patrons would be disappointed in his failure to find the fabled route to the Orient. What became immediately apparent, however, from the Indians clad in deer skins and "good furs" was that Hudson had discovered something just as tantalizing. The news of Hudson's 1609 voyage to America ignited a fierce competition to lay claim to this uncharted continent, teeming with untapped natural resources. The result was the creation of an American fur trade, which fostered economic rivalries and fueled wars among the European powers, and later between the United States and Great Britain, as North America became a battleground for colonization and imperial aspirations. In Fur, Fortune, and Empire, best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin chronicles the rise and fall of the fur trade of old, when the rallying cry was "get the furs while they last." Beavers, sea otters, and buffalos were slaughtered, used for their precious pelts that were tailored into extravagant hats, coats, and sleigh blankets. To read Fur, Fortune, and Empire then is to understand how North America was explored, exploited, and settled, while its native Indians were alternately enriched and exploited by the trade. As Dolin demonstrates, fur, both an economic elixir and an agent of destruction, became inextricably linked to many key events in American history, including the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812, as well as to the relentless pull of Manifest Destiny and the opening of the West. This work provides an international cast beyond the scope of any Hollywood epic, including Thomas Morton, the rabble-rouser who infuriated the Pilgrims by trading guns with the Indians; British explorer Captain James Cook, whose discovery in the Pacific Northwest helped launch America's China trade; Thomas Jefferson who dreamed of expanding the fur trade beyond the Mississippi; America's first multimillionaire John Jacob Astor, who built a fortune on a foundation of fur; and intrepid mountain men such as Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith, who sliced their way through an awe inspiring and unforgiving landscape, leaving behind a mythic legacy still resonates today. Concluding with the virtual extinction of the buffalo in the late 1800s, Fur, Fortune, and Empire is an epic history that brings to vivid life three hundred years of the American experience, conclusively demonstrating that the fur trade played a seminal role in creating the nation we are today.

TO say that the game has becua wonderful source Of pleasure to me might lead the reader to think that the greatest pleasure Of\ all has been derived from winning tournaments and prizes. I can truthfully say that nothing is further from the fact.

It is the game itself that I love. Of all the games that I have played and like to see played, including baseball, football, hockey, and tennis, no other, to my mind, has quite so many charms as golf - a clean and wholesome pastime, requiring the highest Order of skill to be played successfully, and a game suitable alike for the young, the middle-aged, and the 01d.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Knowledge: Psychic Facts So many of my dear friends and beloved patients have asked me why I did not write a book of my life, giving to the public, in that way, the many peculiar tests both in healing and messages which have been given to me for others, through the divine power which has controlled me for the last twenty-one years; and so to-night, the'14th of May, 1902, I seat myself at my desk for that purpose, hoping that my experiences may prove a help to many dear ones, and that they, too, may have the power to unlock the door between the mortal and the immortal and let their beloved ones enter their homes. The secret of the spiritual life is being whispered to-day. To-morrow the voices will be clearer. By and by it will be heard all around the world. And so, dear reader, I only hope that you too shall bear the voices of your loved ones, and that they may prove a blessing to you, as they have been to me; and to the beloved readers who know me, I want you all to know this, on earth or in heaven, I am, and always will be, a friend and a woman of the people.
