American mink have beautiful, thick, glossy fur. At one time, many were exported to other countries where farmers raised them for their fur. Find out what happened to native species when fur went out of fashion and many minks were released into the wild.
This Web site is an electronic version of the book Nutrient requirements of mink and foxes, revised by the Board on Agriculture in 1982. Visitors can get information on these fur-bearing species and discover why foxes were raised commercially earlier than mink and what nutritional requirements are needed for commercial coat value. Much of the information that is available relates to the growth period for young and pelted mink.
General circulation models state that the central United States (and other mid-latitude continental regions) will become warmer and drier as the result of greenhouse warming. On this premise the dustbowl period of the 1930s was selected as an analogue of climate change and its weather records imposed on the Missouri--Iowa--Kansas region to assess how current agriculture, forestry, water resources and energy and the entire regional economy would be affected. The same climate was also imposed on a MINK region forty years into the future, by which time climate change may actually be felt, to assess whether technological and societal change would alter the region's vulnerability to climate change. Another premise of the study was that people would not suffer the impacts of climate change passively, but would use availabe tools to ease the stress. The rising atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, expected to be the major cause of greenhouse warming, also works to improve plant growth and reduce plant water use. So the effects of this `Co2 fertilization' were also considered in the analysis. The results, some of them surprising, of this first, fully-integrated analysis of climate...
A. R. Harding's 'Mink Trapping: A Book of Instruction Giving Many Methods of Trapping' offers a comprehensive guide on various successful mink trapping techniques suitable for a multitude of geographic locations across America. With content sourced from seasoned trappers, presented through an aggregation of articles primarily featured in the Hunter-Trader-Trapper (H-T-T), Harding provides a pragmatic approach, encompassing a wealth of knowledge, minor editorial refinements, and the promise of regional relevance. The book employs a direct, didactic prose, cataloguing each method with precision, and situates itself firmly within the utilitarian literary category, particularly serving those with an interest in rural and wilderness survival skills. A. R. Harding was a prolific figure in the trapping and outdoor survival literature of the early 20th century, with his publications stemming from a deep personal and professional investment in trapping and game conservation. The origins of 'Mink Trapping' are entrenched in Harding's desire to disseminate hard-won knowledge from an array of expert trappers to a wider audience. This impetus is born out of Harding's recognition of both the...
