- In some parts of the country people keep ferrits. They are very useful animals for they would go into a burrow and kill all the rabbits they would come up to. A wild one is very wicked and it would kill a great deal of hens and ducks.
There are very few wild ones to be seen.
Some of the old people in Caherlistrane say that there is a cure in the food it leaves after it for the whooping cough.- Collector
