The Rabbit Plague in Australasia

\ recent report by the Unitel States
consul at Sydney, n. S. W., gives vivid
idea of the extent of the rabbit pest in
Australia. The extraordinary fecundity
of the animals under the climatic condi-
tions there prevailing have caused the
country to be completely Overrun with
them. Vast regions are devastated, and
the grass and other herbage is devoured.
The government has spent immense sums
to destroy and repress them. New South
Wales has spent nearly s4,OOO,OOO.
Several thousand miles of wire fencing has
been erected, and large amounts in bOun-
ties for sealps have been paid. The
bounty has varied from two cents scalp
to twenty-four cents, according to the
number of rabbits in the district The
rabbit hunters have earned from $50 up
to $50 week. The natural consequence
has been that the determination of rabbits
has been the last thing desired by some
of these rabbit hunters, and the bounty
began to take the form of practical sub
sidy or protection for the very animals it
was desired to destroy. The employment
of the rabbit hunters was made compulsory
OH the owners of land. The determination
has at last been reached to discontinue the
payment of such bounties.
Wire fencing has been found of use. A
height of 3 feet, with mesh and No. II
wire, has been found effective in excluding
them. A wooden picket fence is also
noted as giving good results.
The figure of five millions is given as
the possible increase of two pairs of
rabbits in three years. Yet even this
is low estimate of the possibilities of
reproduction of rabbits. The average life
of a rabbit is put at about nine years.
The doe may have yonng eight times in a
year, averaging eight each time. The first
litter Is produced when but four months old.
The progressions based on these figures
lead to astonishing results For three years
the possible progeny of two rabbits has been
calculated as over thirteen millions, and for
seven years as fifteen hundred millions.
OF course these estimates may exceed re-
ality but they indicate the impossibility of
killing off the foreign invader. Fifteen
million skins have been exported from New
South Wales in one year, yet the rabbits
are not diminished The climate of Aus
tralia seems to be such that no extraneous
limit is placed to their propagation. In
other lands they do not increase to any
extent, and in settled places often become
extinct. Instances of their destructive
power are only too frequent in the antip-
odes. At a place called Terganynia, in
1889, 10000 acres of grass were destroyed
by them, although million were killed on
this identical tract.
At present the southwestern part of the
continent is most afflicted Curionsly
enough, tame rabbits will not spread. In

THE LESSONS OF THE BROOK.
Written for the Democratic Advocate.
BY C. T. WRIGHT

wander on the grassy bank
And watch the water flow;
Above me is the arching sky,
Its image far below,
Between the two with wonder fixed,
l stand and study we'll,
The lessons of the Infinite
These boundleSs concaves tell.
Within the iathOmless abyss,
This boundless depth of blue
see beauty that is false,
An image of the true.
The lesson to my mind is plain;
Here in this brook find
A fancy filling heart and eye,
The real LEFT behind.
The sunlight falling on the stream,
Lights up its placid face,
And gives glow of warmth and joy.
A touch ofsweetest grace;
But as / gaze shadow comes,
The sunshine swiftly hees,
And flashing up the father bank
Is lost among the trees.
Another truth quickly learn
Here in the light and shade;
The hope that brightly CLEANS at noon
When evening comes win fade;
And like the brooks inconstant face
Life's tickle fortunes go
Today in gorgeous splendor robed
Tomorrow, dark with woe.
A gentle eddy at my feet
Finds refuge near the shore,
While down the middle of the stream
With angry rush and roar.
The water struggles as il goes
To seek its ocean home
Its ripples changed to dashing spray,
Or madly whirled in foam.
Tis thus that they VINO in life's stream
Are storm and passion tossed,
Go down the currents rushing course
And in its depth are lost;
While they who shun the surging crowd
And seek life's ciimer joy,
Feel not the rude unfeeling shocks
That shatter and destroy.
our lives with all their lights and shade
Are like the brooks that flow,
And fed by streams of good or i'll
They widen as they go,
Until with all their gathered wealth
Or waste of ruin wide,
They move with a resistless sweep
To swell the eternal tide.

Gently transferred to English investors

of which had been united under one
management before the sale was made.
The prospectus issued in London shows
what were the inducements by which
investors were led to buy the shares of
the new company organized by the pro-
moters. The share capital consists of
$4,000, 900 in preferred stock at per
cent. and S4,h00,000 in common stock,
and the new company carries also debt
of IS ,0SS, 900 in the form of 6 per cent.
bonds that were issued by the breweries
while they were owned in st. Louis.
The earnings for the last three years are
shown in the prospectus, and the inves-
tor is assured that the new company can
pay in the first year 6 per cent. on the
bonds, Sper cent on the preferred stock,
and Is per cent. on the common stock.
