New Book On The Art Of Poaching
LONDON, Aug. 3.—Poaching in England is apparently still as .muth of a pastime and a business as it was in days gone by. At any rate, it may
be given a fillip shortly, for a book raided "The Poacher's Handbook," is to be published next month.
It is written by a reputable writer with the pen-name of lan Niall, and it will describe every illegitimate method of taking game that has yet
been devised. It will tell how to catch hares, use a ferret, attract partridges, and tickle trout. Many ways of avoiding gamekeepers are discussed.
Tricks of the trade such as the long r.et, the snare, the purse net, the sawn-off shotgun, and other lethal weapons are mentioned. Farmers are not expected to be impressed by such initiative on the part of the publishers!
