The FERRET.-The Ferret is native of
Africa whence it was imported into Spain
for the purpose of destroying the rabbit,
with which at one period that country was
injuriously overrun. From Spain it has
spread over the rest of Europe as domes-
ticated animal. From the earliest time it
was used in the capture of rabbits by being
turned, muzzled, into their burrows It is
now used, not only by the warrener, but
also extensively by the rat-catchers.
Some ten years since there was living
near Huron, Ohio, a protested rat-catcher,
an Englishman, who, with a cage of ten or
fifteen ferrets, and accompanied by several
Scotch terriers, visited the farms and villa
ges, through Huron county, ready, for a
fee of five dollars, to carry death and dis
may into the colony of rats and mice inhabi-
ting the premises. I was witness to one of
these professional operations The terriers,
keen for the sport, were posted about the
buildings then the ferrets, lean, lank, and
hungry, were let slip into the holes and
runaways Of the rats.
= !. Now commenced such scampering, squeak
ing, racing, hustle and confusion, as was
truly exciting. If the rats remained in
their holes, death was certain, for the fer
rets could with ease follow through any
opening rat could pass; and if they at.
tempted to escape by fight their fate was
equally sure, for the little active dogs, will
ing allies of the ferrets, were ready to seize
them the moment they made their appear
ance. Thus a war of determination was
carried forward with bloody success.
Ferrets are very sensitive of cold, and
require to be kept snug and warm, especial
ly during winter, as they perish if exposed
to the severity Of the season. -Pauirie Far
