The Scientific ImericdH last week
published an illustration of the i'm
mense rabbit hunt which took place
Mt Wildflower, Fresno county, Cali
fornia, on March last. In relation
to the hunt it says The mound of
slain mt the end of the drive was five
feet deep, twenty feet wide, and
forty feet long, and contained twelve
thousand dead rabbits, the largest
and most successful drive ever made
in California. These vermin have
become so numerous and destruc-
tive to the farmers, that the whole
sale determination of them is impera-
tive. It is estimated that five rab-
bits consume rs much as one sheep.
They are particularly fond of young
grape vines, fruit trees, corn and
other grain. This drive was made
by stretching fine wire netting about
three feet high and seven miles in
length, V shaped, terminating at the
smaller end in n circular corral into
which the animals were driven and
readily killed with stout sticks.
