I think this should be :"#{field}" or I must define ferret_feilds = {
:ferret_field1 } in OtherClass instead.

It seems that define_method doesn't work at all. I got many errors
saying that there is no method defined for things like ferret_field1. I
even tried to define a simple method dynamically with the following
code at the class level of my model class.
define_method :say_hello { puts 'hello' }
But unexpectedly, method_missing is called, so it means that
define_method doesn't work. Is there anything wrong about my using with
define_method?
