Show How to Kill Kngllah Badgers. Practically, it is said, tho only way to kill the English badgers is to stop their "earths" in the covers along the hillside while they aro out on their midnight foraging expeditions, and then hunt them away with the honnds; for the badger is one of tho craftiest of animals, and often outwits tho dogs. He will not touch a poisoned bait, and an old badger, it is Raid, will "throw" a hundred traps with impunity. To dislodge tho animals from their retreats, if they once gain the earth, is next to an impossibility. They are most expert and rapid burrowers. Youth's Companion. |
