344 Practical Game Preserving. 



Bearing in mind what we have written on the habits of 

 the badger, there is, to our thinking, no need for its whole- 

 sale destruction. If, by its frequent occurrence, it become 

 a nuisance to the game preserver, it can be easily captured 

 alive and transferred to " fresh fields and pastures new/' 

 where it can pursue the somewhat even tenor of its way 

 without detriment to the interests of game preserving. We 

 possess a considerable liking for the stinking brock, and 

 would much regret that anything we have written should 

 tend to the wholesale killing of this interesting animal.
