http://www.pgdp.net.  a"Fur Farming" by A. R. Harding is an informational guide about raising fur-bearing animals, written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the habits, care, and enclosure requirements for various species, addressing the ongoing demand for fur and the sustainability of fur farming practices.   The opening of the book outlines the important historical context of the fur trade, emphasizing concerns regarding the diminishing supply of wild fur-bearing animals due to over-trapping and habitat loss. It highlights the necessity for fur farmers to adopt responsible practices to ensure a stable supply of fur, addressing market trends and species that can be raised, such as foxes and skunks. Harding shares insights from successful fur farmers and trapper experiences, encouraging readers to approach fur farming with knowledge and care for the animals to thrive in captivity.
