The Dangers of Rabbit Invasion.

OF all animals the timid rabbit would
seem to be the last that would ever
wage q war of determination against
man; and yet that is precisely what it
is doing in Australia. One colony has
already lost two millions OF sheep by
them; the plague is spreading north
ward at the rate of 100 miles or more
year; and the Federal australian saws
t'.;t the rabbit invasion threatens the
treat industry of the colony with ruin.
"-ae impoSsibility OF feeding large
i:uclls Of sheep and innumerable rabbits
81 The same time on the same breadth
of pasturage. Is just as great as would
he that OF growing wheat and hay on
ti,r same soil. There is only one alter
native IN this case: Either the flock
owners must expel the rabbits, or the
rabbits viii eXpel the flock owners. :"
Iic conviction Is that the evil has at
LINED magnitude which puts it be-
yoiid the hope of control by local eff
iorts, or even by any one colony The
movement for the extirmination of the
rabbits must be simultaneous and uni
versal TO be of any avail.
"The flock owners over the entire area
OF the continent, says the australian,
"lnust make common cause in the en-
deavor to eXterLinate the plague, and
to that end must id their respective
governments by every means in their
power. War to the knife must be de-
ciared by every individual interested in
station property in Australia against
t1estilenc which positively threatens
nothing IS than the gradual destruc-
Jiol : tn4 wealthiest interest that has
yet @-own into afourishing existence in
this part of the world"
Having declared general war upon
the rabbits, the great question would
appear to be the devising modes of at
tack that will be at once efficient and
economical. One flock owner is men
toned as having trapped 5000 of the
little pests in a space of four months;
others have tried general poisoning, and
yet no perceptible check has been put
upon the rapid multiplication of the
prolific and all-devouring vermin.
Shooting the rabbits is out of the ques-
ton, there are so many of them, their
wariness and burrowing habits adding
to the hopelessness of meeting the ihFa-
sion by individual destruction. They
must be killed by the million, and at
cost that will not exceed the value of
the land reclaimed from their ravages.
