Vet if yon couhl pay a visit to the
house where they are living yon would
refuse to believe that there is a child
in the neighlnirheod, says the Ladies'
Home Companion. All is perfectly
quiet, and you never hear a sound to
tell you that there are any fun-loving
boys and jrirlsiu this little Turkey-in-Ameriea.
Now this is not because
Tnrki-h children are stupid or do not
know how to enjoy themselves. It is
simply because their way of having a
gd time is different from ours, as
well as tbeir ways of playing. W hen
the little Turks play they ul b;t jni,

like the Indian frame of "hunt the

the rabbit and by the aid of the ferret
drive him forth to get a good running
shot without all the tiresome tramp
ing (along the scent of a rabbit in
search of food), often to get no nearer
the quarry than several hundred yards.
Truly the ferreter has the best of it
when he knows his business and has a
good ferret that knows his equally
well. The great trouble is that so few
of our ferrets do know their business,
or, to use a common phrase, "on end
of it." The fanlt of this lies in the
owner of the ferret, and is easily
remedied, for there is no animal more
easily trained, or more useful when
trained, than the well-bred ferret. I
was talking to a man the other day
who breeds ferrets, and makes quite a
business of it, keeping them on a
farm, and having them divided off in
yards and hutches just 03 if
they v.'ero prize rabbits. I wanted
to "buy a couple of your.jj buck
ferrets" for the coming season,
and a-.ked him if he had any bred from
parents that had been properly trained?
He replied: "When I first commenced
tills business, I had ferrets on hand
that were ti-ained like bird dogs, and
of course I valued them accordingly.
Do you think there was any demand
for'them? Well there was not, and
when I asked fifteen or twenty dollars
for a perfectly-trained ferret, people
thought I w as crazy. So I gave it up
and now have neither trained ferrets,
nor ferrets reared and bred from
trained sbrck. It d.es not pay.
I was surprised at this, and picked
out a pair to do my own trainiug, ready
for the first tracking snow. As from
this it would appear that a great many
people who use these animals do not
understand the advantage to be gained
from a trained one. I may as well make:
it r.lain befora I go any further. I
f think all will allow that there are few
things mora annoying to the hunter
than to l.ave the ferret 'Tie up" when
put into a hole, resulting in the loss of
sport while yon wait his pleasure about
coining out, or if ha is left the los of
the ferret, value, say ten dollars. That
is only the Crst evil, the others aro
ivii.n ho will not work at all, refit ing
persistently to go into an earth, or
when he caters and limU a rabbit ho
will kill and eat it, instead of dragging
it out, and has ro idea of answering
the voi..e or call of his master. In
(lertiiar.y, France and England the fer
ret is taught all this, aud there is,
with fi w exceptions, u t bother ai 1 no
delay to fport-
O'oiain a young animal, and sea that
he is healthy, has clean feet, with no
s.-abs on th .m. or any signs of thor.i
having l-een any. for this is a sign of
hutch rot" and will make the little
fellow sent-itive t hard w.-atlur. and
apt to thirk. Take him ho:ni. and
have for hi . home a moderately w;rm.
dry. clean huteh. an I n.ind that it is
kept so. This i:. the most important
Item of them all. Then commence the
training process, which Is done through
r 1 .'
ISUSTIXO THE 11 ARC
the medium of food. When yon go to
feed him, make a curious squeaking
sound like a rat squealing, produced
by pressing the. tongue againat the
side of the teeth and strongly sticking
the air through the iritr-isitices. Any
boy will give you a lesson! Do this
whenever he is fed so as to impress
upon the mind that the sound is con
nected with food, and half the train
ing Is done. Then begin to handle
him. Make np your mind to the fact
that when you put your hand down he
will think it is something to cat, and
will raise up to "nose" it, end that if
you draw the hand away in a sudden
manner he will be quicker than yon,
and will seize it. giving you a pretty
bad bite; but that if you keep the hand
moving steadily and fairly quickly
ilown. in a fearless manner, the ferret
will find out his mistake and will not
bite.
Having progressed so far, take the
ferret out in the open, and take hha
hungry, so that when you make the
call he will be keen to come to you,
when he must lie rewarded with a
piece cf meat or liver, but not enough
to feed him, just a tiny piece. If he
does this well, advance him to the
hedgerow or brush, and pet him so
that he will come to you whenever you
make the calk Then he is ready for
action. The whole course of tuition
may le covered in two weeks at a
pinch, but the longer the better, and I
am sure that anyone who has ever
tried it will never regret the trouble.
When the hunting commences, be
careful and have the ferrets well fed
the night previous but not the morn
ing yon go ont, unless it is very cold,
when a very little miik may bo given.
This will iusnre better work. Arriv
ing at the earth, cither located liefore
hand, or by the honnd dog, take the
ferret and place him in the enlran.a'";
if it be tenanted he will immediately
go down, if not he will go in a little
way and cme out. Then piak him np
and try elsewhere. If he stays in. an
ear placed to the ground will locate
any disturbance, and tell you if the
rabbit is pinned. If there is
no sound for a reasonable time
aud tha ferret remains in the earth,
stoop down and make the feed-call,
and if properly trained the ferret will
come ti you, and his jaws will Udl vou
if lie has found and killed a rabbit by
the bUxsJ on them. Always reward
him with meat or liver until he is an
old hand at the business. You will
then have a ferret that will be the
envy of the neighborhood. Sometimes
the best animals will take a fit and
'lay np," that is to say they will re
fuse to come out, and Sn such a ease the
best way is to make a nest of grass or
leaves at one end, and bank both ends
np with a Siv! of grass. The next morn
ing, or possibly as yon return, the fer
ret will lie found curled np on the bed
waiting for his master. .
I have had a good deal of experience
in rabbiting, one way or another, and
roy advice to the young sportsman m ho
can afford it is cot to waste time hunt
ing uncertain places for the '"bnunie,"
but to find out where they are before
starling, either by advertisement in
the sporting papers, or by the expe
rience of friends. There is nothing
more disheartening than a fruitless
tramp, and many a good sportsman

W
In embryo baa thus been spoiled.
Last vrar one advertisement se
cured we ten replies, and 1 had good
sport at each of the three I selected.
The Wginninsy of tvtober is a pood
time to advertise. Get yonr replies
and make your dates as eai iy as you
un, and you will not regret it. If
thera are plenty of rabbits, end the
country is not tio thick in brush, you
may have ,txkI fun at any time from
now on, but you mast have a good
hound dog: one with a good msc. that
is obedient, and keen to hunt and lind
the game, but which will give tongue
insfea 1 of running it and track the
r ibbit to iu earth, where the ferret
can br? called on to do his tine work,
tin! give yo't a good running shot.
The question of icur'-zling a ferret is
tlways a lively matter for argument
t:aong rabbit hunters, but if the ani
ria! is well trained on the lines laid
down cbove, there will be little need
for it except at odd times for ther.
r.ever wa-s a ferret born yet that did
not at soma time or other develop more
or less enssedness for a day or two at a
time. These CU generally occ-ir while
the weather is hot, or at the mating
period when the ferret family,
and not hunting, should ahsorb
the hunter's mind. Most of the
muzzles used arc totally udIU for
use, and one might as reasonably
expect a race horse to ran with a plow
ing collar around his neck as to expect
a ferret to do good work, with one of
the made-to-sc-11 monstrosities on his
nose. A muzzle should consist of live
light, soft leather straps, which are nut
together so that one forms the ring for
the snout, the others lying one along
the nose, one under the chin, one
around the nose near the eyes and the
last encircling tho neck close behind
the ears. If yon cannot make one
yourself, take the little fellow to a har
ness maker, and get him interested in
the matter, and he will turn out a muz
sde that will fit like a lady's glove, and
the ferret will work comfortably and
well, lie member always that the ani
mal isoleying a natural instinct when
he hunts and that yonr aim is to as
sist him as much as you can.
- As to working them with bells: If
the grass or undergrowth is thick one
must either have bells or very great
watchfulness, as it ruins a ferret to let
him run around loose, even if only for
a few minutes and that is what he
will do, if he getsout of an earth with
out being seen. The objection to bells
is that the sonnd travels a long way
through the ground, and if there are
any other passnres v.-ith rabbits in
them they will 1: , " it "up and git
while the hunter is occupied with one.
If they are used, they should be of the
tiniest model of sleighbcll procurable,
and should le slung onto a very light
strap, care being taken in putting the
collar on that the bells are so ar
ranged that the buckle comes under
the chin and the bells one each side
and one in the middle of the back of
the ueek. If the bells hang under the
chin they are in the way and half the
time they cannot sound, while, if prop
erly disposed on the collar, the weight
of the buckle will keep them on the
back of the neck, where they will do
most good.
If yon have the lurk to strike a good
rabbit ground, and there are plenty,
never, under any circumstances lie
persuaded to use any of the so-called
'sport producers" for bolting the game.
These are generally cartridges to burn,
and so smoke tha rabbit out, and
wherever used they drive the game
away, never to return. As most rab
bits bolted from earths era shot with
in a twenty yard range, the gun must
cither ba c cylinder bore or mast be so
loaded as to produce what is called
'si-alter" bhooting. and, what is more,
it must be a hard hitting gun, for the
furry fellows take a. lot of killing, and
frequently get away with quit r ?td
of shot on board. The orthodox load
is one ounce and a quarter of No. 6
shot, niid three drams and a half of
powder, using thick wads over the
powder; bnt many good men prefer
o. 4 shot, and unhesitatingly use
wood or smokelcra powder in the
second barrel, if not in both.

the first of the kind painted in Amer

Gen. .Logan's rally at Atlanta, Ga.
The tapestry Is seventy-four inches
wide aud uinety-two inches long. The
horde is composed of the badges of
honor conferred npon Gen. Logan, and
the corps flags of the Army of the
Tennessee. Soon after Miss Jane
Stevens, of Washington, IX C, began
to paint this tapestry she broke her
right arm; but with undaunted cour

her left hand.
