FERRETS.
Did you ever see a ferret ? No ¡
Perhapti few readers kcow what a
ferret is.. A chort tipie since we
saw a crowd about a neighbor's "barn,
in Flalns tonwsbip, and going to see
what was on foot found a young Eng-
lish lad with two ferrets hunting
rats. The apimals bear some resera-
blace tQlhe weasel, but were heavier
bodied. They were placed at a rat
holejn the boards or iftow, and in
they went. In a few miuutes the
squealing of rats was hoard, and out
the venuin ran in hot haste to escape.
The ferrets did n^t kill the rats, but
a little terrier dog watched (or them.
It was rare sport.
Wo had never soon a ferret before,
but it is said the Messrs. Hillard
have or bad a pair in their mill.
Picking up the American Agricul.
tur is! on roturning homo from tho rat
hunt, we chanced on the following,
which had increased interest vat the
time, and may be useful to our readers
—Record of the Timet. <
"Rats are a great nuisance. My
pigpens and, buildings are overrun
with them. I ofteu witsh for a pair or
two of ferrels, and a couple of good
terrier dogs. We could have pme
glorious sport. When I waa a bay,
in England, I used to keep ferrety,
and can well remember inany days
when I was'too sick to goto school;
but cannot Recall a day when I was
not well enongh to go -'a ferreting!
We used to stack nearly all our grain,
aud as it waa never threshed until
the winter, aud frequently not before
the next summer, the stacks that were
on the ground were a favorite haunt
for rats. I have seen old stacks that
were completely riddled with rat
holes—bide.-:, top and bottom. Si^jli
a stack afforded real sport f r us
youngsters. Armed with a good stick,
we stood one on each sido of fhe
(.tack. The ferrets, having been
tasted over night, were turned iuto
the holes. They wmtld creep along
there slowly at first, but as soon as
a rat was scented they were more
active, and when the gams was
fairly started Master Ifrft, or Madam,
must make good pace to save tlrtiir
skin. With a rush he leaps from
the stack, whetia terrier hiakca short
work of him. When the sport íh
lively, half a dozen or more are on
the ground at once, and] dogs and
boys have nil they cat do to attend to
them. We did not rauazfo the fer-
rets when hunting tats—only when
hunting rabbits. It is seldom that
an old rat Allows himself to bo caucht.
Sometimes the ferrets catch a young
one and may lie in the stack. Hut
rate are not n favorito food for ferrets.
Tltey seldom eat anything except the
blood and the head and neck, and
there is little risk of losing a ferret
when hunting rats.
The smaller the ferret the better,
a.j they oaoJfollowtheVatB more easily
and rapidly through the holes. The
largo male ferrets are seldom ns good
lat catchers—or more propcly, rat
frighteners—as the small female foi-
ret. We used to buy them for about
a dollar a piece, sometimes for half a
dollar. If kept perfectly clean and
in a warm bnt well ventilated pen or
hoi, and fed Tegukarly with a little
new milk and scraps of fresh meat
hirds. haada of chickens, blood, etc.;
there ia no difficulty in raising them.
The eriy diaeaae that troubled them
fcotjpot, front neglect to kei p
their pern alean and diy.
tttmot we keep fareta" in
thi* country 1 The only difficulty I
can thiuk oí is our severe winters.—
But it would seem that this could be
overcome by keeping them in a tarn
cellar and furnishing them with plen-
ty of dry bedding, in which they can
burrow and form a nest.
Perhaps, as the Agriculturist sug-
gested a month or so ago, there are
'American varieties of the ferret that
could be domesticated, aud which
would stand our climate better than
the imported ferrets. The subject is
worthy of attention. Rats aro get-
ting to be such a nuisance that some-
thing muse be done to destroy them.
I see ferrets are advertised in the
Agriculturist lasl month at $20 a
pair. When I was a boy I frequent-
ly raised seven, and in one case nine
at a litter, and used to feel rich when
I conld sell for $1,50 per pair. They
breed twice a year ; aud some of our
farmers' young sons, especially|in the
milder sections, would find a pleas-
ure and a profit in keeping them.
ünow Storm in Illinois.—The
Springfield Journal, of the 21st,
suys:
The heaviest snow storm which has
•visited Central Illinois "for more than
twelve years, commenced falling on
Saturday evening continuing all that
night and all day yesterday, without
the least cessation, and at a late hour
last night it was still snowing furious-
ly. On a level, the depth of snow
last evening was from six to eight
inches, though, owing to tho wind,
the drifts in many places wore two
and three fpet deep.
We have not heard particularly of
the condition of the railroads, but
understand that the cuts on the
Chicago and Alton, and on the Great
Western roads, are even full; and
hence we shall uot bo surprised if tho
trains, not only on those road , but on
all others in tho West, aro temporari-
ly prevented from making their
trips.
Dan Rico remitted, in settlement
of an account to, a newspaper out
West, a three dollar bill, wliich was
returned endorsed, "fJ$ris note is
counterfeit; please Bend another."
It wáB two months before Dan re-
ilied, when he apologized for the de-
ay, saying that he had been unable
"until now to get nn&ther counterfeit-
three dollar bill," but ho hoped the
one be now enclosed would suit, pro-
fessing, at the samo time, liia inabili-
ty to discover what tho objection was
to the other, which ho thought as good
a counterfeit as he ever Baw.

Advertising.—A story related of a
mírchant^ho mado tho .choice of a
husband Wr his daughter depend on
which of her two suitors should write
tho best advertisement, serves to
illustrate tho importance which is at-
tached by business men to judicious
advertising. In what "judicious"
advertising exactly consists is not,
however, so generally settled. Some
think it is in arresting the people's at-
tention and forcing them to read the
adverlit enietit nolens volcns. Others
aim^to keep certain articles constantly
before the public. Steady, uniform
nnd persistent advertising unques-
tionably benefits every man in busi-
ness. * * * One idea in relation
to ndveitising originated with the
French—the philosophy of which
does not seem fora long lime to have
been comprehended by either the
IGnglish or tho Americans. Tho Eng-
lish, always slow in adopting new
notions, are at last beginning to "ap-
preciate it;" but the Americans car-
ry it to as great nil extent as the
Parisians. The motto in Paris is,
"repeat," "repeat," until, by constant
repetition, the public are thoroughly
familiar with the article. Itacinoss
iu advertising is good, but repetition
is better.—N. Y. Journal of Com-
mcrcc. i

Its columns will bo filled with the
choicest literature—original and se-
lected—and no effort will be spared
to render it a welcome visitor in
every family, and a periodical worthy
of public patronage generally.
An ample corps of writers oí high
literary talent will contribute to its
columns, and tho people, especially of
Texas, will eves find in it a true

The great want of such a publica-
tion in tho South, particularly in
Texas, has been long and deeply felt

of Texas will certainly not fall to
patronize their own magazine, nnd
thereby make a literature of tlicir
own.
The Texas Magazine will be
published, according to engagements
already made, in the City of Hous-
ton ; which, for publication and mail
facilities is unsurpassed by any point
in the State. The publication wil/
