S. B. W.j Augusta, Oa. — Please give me information on 

 training ferrets, or the address of some one who has had some 

 experience in then' use. Would pay most any price for a ferret 

 nucule that can be worked successfully. The latest, I bolieve, is a 

 Bharp-poinled all-in-front part of the muzzle. Ans. All the 

 training ferrets require is a breaking to be handled without their 

 biting. This is done when young by using buckskin gloves. 

 They only bite through fear as kittens who have never been han- 

 dled' do. The ferret has nut intelligence enough to bo trained. 

 They have no affection for their master and, while they will allow 

 him to pick them up, they wdl make no effort to find him; heuee 

 they are often lost. They are hard to muzzle because the neck is 



as large as the head. MuzzleB are sold in England at one nbil- 

 each, but we do not remember to have Been them in America, 

 o they often use a wax-end, made into a loop to go over the 

 :, with tho knot under tho chin. Another knot is then made a 

 half-inch from the lirst and the ends brought around the neck and 

 knotted on top, after which they aro brought down the nose aud 

 fastened to the first loop. Wo have used ferrets, but found muz- 

 zles unsatisfactory. Write to Burr Hollis, Homeilsvillo, N. Y.
