| Summary | "Breeding Minks in Louisiana for their Fur: A Profitable Industry" by William André Elfer is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the practicalities and prospects of breeding minks in Louisiana as a lucrative business, highlighting the increasing demand for fur and the diminishing availability of wild fur-bearing animals. In this volume, Elfer provides insights based on his personal experiments and observations related to mink farming. He discusses the optimal conditions for running a mink farm, including ideal locations, feeding practices, and breeding habits. The book emphasizes the potential profitability of this venture, suggesting that with proper management, a mink farm can generate significant income. With minks capable of producing multiple litters each year and the fur market showing promising upward trends, Elfer argues that establishing mink farms presents a viable alternative as wild populations dwindle due to over-trapping and shifting environmental conditions.
