Book cover

Arthur R. Harding's book on fur farming is an extensive and informative guide that delves into the various aspects of fur bearing animals, their enclosures, habits, and the care required in fur farming.

The author's approach is incredibly detailed, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the subject matter. Harding's expertise is evident as he presents a wealth of information, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in fur farming or animal husbandry in general.

One of the book's strengths lies in the author's meticulous descriptions of fur bearing animals. Harding not only introduces us to a wide range of species, but he also provides fascinating insights into their natural habitats, behaviors, and physical characteristics. By doing so, he affords readers a deep understanding of these animals and lays the foundation for effective fur farming practices.

Furthermore, the sections on enclosures and care are incredibly enlightening. Harding offers practical advice on constructing proper enclosures that prioritize the comfort and well-being of fur bearing animals. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of providing suitable nutrition, highlighting various dietary requirements and offering guidance on balanced feeding patterns. The author's emphasis on the ethical and responsible treatment of animals in fur farming is commendable.

Whether discussing breeding techniques, disease prevention, or the humane handling of animals, the author consistently presents information in a clear, concise manner. This allows both newcomers and experienced fur farmers to grasp important concepts and implement them effectively.

One potential drawback of the book is its dated nature. Originally published in the early twentieth century, some aspects may not align with modern practices and regulations. However, the core principles and understanding provided by Harding are still relevant today, making this book a valuable starting point for further research.

In conclusion, Arthur R. Harding's "Fur Farming: A book of Information about Fur Bearing Animals, Enclosures, Habits, Care, etc." is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in fur farming.
