Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fur Farming: A Book of Information About Fur Bearing Animals, Enclosures, Habits, Care, Etc Some animals, it is true, do well in fairly thickly-settled sections. Among animals of this kind are red fox, skunk, mink and muskrat. Yet no furbearer can hold its numbers against the ever-increasing number of trappers and the persistency with which they now seek the fur producers. North America furnishes a large per cent. Of the furs of the world - foxes, mink, otter, beaver, skunk, marten, lynx, coon, opossum, muskrat, wolves, etc. Considerable quantities of fine furs are still secured in parts of Russia, in Europe and Siberia in Asia; Australia furnishes great quantities of opossum, while from parts of South America, the trade in chinchilla is large. Yet North America has been for centuries, the great fur-producing continent and now that trapping is being pressed harder than ever and the natural haunts of the animals are becoming less each year, the question is, where will the future sup ply come from?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fur-Farming in Canada Rapid 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fur Trade of America For the past few years, there has been a campaign waged in the United States, which almost charges any one wearing a piece of fur with murder. When that question is asked me, I feel like answering by asking another set of questions Is child birth cruel? Is any type of birth for animals or humans painless Should we abolish all birth and strive for the Nirvana of Nothingness because all birth is at tended with even greater pain than death? Should we cease to fight for right and award honor to the heroes of war, because the triumph of right must necessarily entail death to those who fight for wrong?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maintenance of the Fur Supply Directly or indirectly, fur contributes to the support or comfort of a large proportion of our population. We import as much fur as we produce. In other words, we could sell at home twice as much fur as we are now producing - not to speak of the foreign demand. The greater part of the fur grown in the United States comes from privately owned land. Landowners can increase and improve the fur taken on their property and make of it a regular source of income. A few species of fur-bearing animals have been domesticated, but with the single exception of the silver fox, none are being farmed extensively enough to influence the fur market. Laws protecting fur bearers are helpful; at present, however, they are not preventing the animals from decreasing in number. There would be better fur and, in the long run, more of it if the open season were not more than two months long.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fur Farming in the Province of Quebec: Describing the Most Approved Methods of Propagating Foxes and Other Fur-Bearing Animals in Captivity In selecting the location of a farm or ranch for fox farming, it is desirable to avoid limited quarters in or near a city or town, or even in a. Small village where foxes might be disturbed by visitors, for in such cases they become restless and suspicious and do not breed well. Foxes require very little space and sometimes thrive in enclosures pet more than forty feet square. Some have been successfully raised in stables or other small buildings, but the fur only attains its richest, thickest and most valu able qualities when the animal is kept out-of-doo-rs, and when kind nature furnishes the necessary de gree of warmth in the superior quality of the fur. The enclosures may be but a few yards from a farm-house, or even if visitors are excluded, in a quiet place on the outskirts of a village. A total space of 5 acres is ample for extensiveoperations, and it is not likely that more than 2 acres will be needed for any except a large and long established business. A half acre will accommo date about 6 pairs of foxes, which is quite as many as. A beginner should attempt to handle. The selec tion of ground may depend upon circumstances, but effort should be made to include a few trees or small shrubs. These afford shade and a feeling of seclusion and security to the animals, but should not be high enough or near enough to the fence to enable the foxes to jump from them out of the en closure. Perfectly open ground 'has been used with fair success, and in other cases yards have been situated in thick woods. Neither extreme is to be desired, but many trees are better than none at all. Forthe sake of cleanliness, sandy sod should be selected wherever possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sheep Farming in North America Classic Reprint written by John Alexander Craig and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheep-Farming in North America N o branch of animal husbandry has passed through so many serious changes in the last century as has the sheep-raising industry. Established, and for many years continued, with wool as the main oh ject, the successive changes have seemed to make the mutton side of sheep-raising more and more important. The more comprehensive books upon sheep em phasized wool-production and were largely devoted to diseases. The present volume considers the sheep as having an important place or part in intensive stock-farming. American farmers, as a rule, are not prepared to give sheep the attention they will repay, or that is necessary if the possibilities of employing them in the utilization of high-priced lands are to be realized. The range areas devoted to sheep are diminishing, and, as the industry comes to have a more stable position on general farms, the supplies and market prices may be expected to be more uniform than in the past.

Download or read book The Selection of Land for General Farming in the Gulf Coast Region East of the Mississippi River Classic Reprint written by W. E. Tharp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Selection of Land for General, Farming in the Gulf Coast Region, East of the Mississippi River The agricultural Opportunities in this section of the South are attracting many people from other localities, chiefly from the North ern States. In the last few years there has been marked activity on the part of real-estate and colonization companies, as well as of rail ways and some industrial organizations, in advertising the resources of this region and particularly in promoting the sale of the cut-over pine lands. The majority of the immigrants who purchase land for general farming have had little or no experience with such soils as commonly occur in this part of the Gulf Coast country. In too many instances the choice of location is largely determined by considerations other than the character of the soil or its adaptability to the kind of farm ing to be pursued. While accessibility to markets, the local facilities for transportation, and communication, as well as the general social conditions of a locality should be given due consideration, the soil itself is of first importance in the selection of land for a farm home. This paper discusses only the general soil characteristics, and but little more than mentions the chief problems in southern agriculture. It gives briefly such information as should be at the command of any one contemplating the purchase of farm land.

Download or read book Productive Feeding of Farm Animals Classic Reprint written by F. W. Woll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Productive Feeding of Farm Animals The general interest in matters pertaining to the farm and farm life that has been evidenced in recent years is one of the wholesome signs of the times. Farm animals have shared in this increasing interest, and the love of fine stock, as well as the desire to surround the animals with conditions that will secure the best results for the care and labor bestowed upon them, has been a potent factor in the development of animal industry in this country during the last generation. For permanent and fruitful advance in agricultural matters, it is agreed that the boy must be interested; must learn about the realities and problems of farm life; must be taught how to meet these and how to adjust himself to changes in new conditions of farming that may arise. Hence we find that courses in agriculture are being introduced into more and more schools; the agricultural college no longer has a monopoly of teaching animal husbandry, field crops, horticulture, etc. County agricultural schools and agricultural high schools, as well as graded schools in a number of States, are giving their pupils an opportunity to study the underlying principles of farm operations. Until recently there were no text-books that met the needs of these different classes of students. This want is now, however, gradually being filled, and in some cases there is already a choice of carefully-prepared books, well adapted for the purpose intended. This volume has been prepared with a view to furnishing students in agricultural schools and colleges, as well as practical farmers, with a concise discussion of the main principles relating to the feeding of farm animals and of the various feeding stuffs available to our stockmen. So far as possible, different feeding practices for the various classes of farm animals have also been given and discussed, pointing the way to profitable methods of stock feeding under the variety of conditions existing on American farms. The treatment of this subject in text-book form presents peculiar difficulties. In view of the immense amount of research work that has accumulated and is being conducted and published every year, at public expense and otherwise, it would be easy to present a bewildering mass of detailed experimental evidence as to the merits of different feeds and methods of feeding. This would not, however, serve the purpose of either teacher or student. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Modern Farm Hen Classic Reprint written by Chesla C. Sherlock and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Farm Hen A few farmers have recognized the fine profit to be made from the production of high-class market eggs and the sale of hatching eggs and baby chicks in the breeding season. They have laid out the farm poultry work so that it can be efficiently handled in connection with general farming. And they are making good money. The thought has been with the author for some years that the methods used by these progressive men and women, if placed in a form accessible to other farmers, should do much towards elevating the general standard of the farm hen and would make farm poultry generally more profitable. The result has been the bringing together of this book which is written entirely for farmers and is based upon the experience and the methods of actual farmers. It deals only from the practical standpoint, keeping ever in mind the units and the conditions best adapted for average farm conditions. It attempts to reduce into a formula, as much as possible, every step along the road to poultry success. It should answer many of the questions which people are constantly raising as to the possibilities in poultry for the farmer. It will answer questions of methods, procedure and means. It exists for no other purpose. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Dante M. Pierce, who has made this work possible.
