That Ii the Reason Why Australia II so

The fecundity of the rabbit is amaz-
ing, and his invasion of remote districts
swift and mysterious. Careful esti.
mates show that, under favorable con-
ditions, pair of Australian rabbits
will produce six filters a year, aver
aging five individuals each As the off.
spring themselves begin breeding at the
age of six months, it is shown that, at
this rate, the original pair might be
responsible in five years for a progeny
of over twenty millionl That the
original score which were brought to
the country have propagated after
some such ratio, no one can doubt who
has seen the enormous hordes that now
devastate the land in certain districts
In all but the remoter sections, how
ever, the rabbits are now fairly under
control; one rabbiter with a pack of
dogs supervises stations where one
hundred were employed ten years ago,
and with ordinary vigilance the squat
tiers have little to fear Millions of the
animals have been killed by fencing in
the water-holes and dams during dry
season, whereby they died of thirst,
and lay in enormous piles against the
distractions they have frantically and
vainly striyen to climb, and poisoned
grain and fruit have killed myriaas
more. A fortune of e25, 600, offered by

THE FARMERS SIDE,
Where we are, how we got here,
and the Way out"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
Us. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
Price, SI.oO.

There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the influ-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMEn's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts OF the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures. banking.
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers,
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest aud mortgages, railroads, the sale of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize It's value. 1t is a compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand
The FARNra's SIDE has just been issued,
and make a handsome and substantial book
OF $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
i!shers for its sale to readers at the pub
our Office. or We VIII forward copies TO any
address, postpaid, on receipt of $1.e0 per copy.

HOW oulTMAN GOT HIS NAME.

years ago, in a sparsely settled portion
OF the state of Georgia, there was lit

bright spring afternoon, near the edge
of the primeval forest hard by, upon an
immense pine log, was seated buxom
country lassie with rosy cheeks and
sparkling eyes. She was busily en-
gagged arranging a bouquet of wild
flowers.
Now, 1t SO happened that young
artist from Boston was down in the
neck of the woods making sketches.
When he saw the pretty country maid
en- seated upon the log he felt that if

by side on the log. Soon his arm stole
around her waist. Quit mani she said,
but as she did not draw away he
pressed her closer to his manly bosom
and began showering kisses upon her
ruby lips, she meanwhile repeating the
cry: Quit mani between the smacks.
One of the boys from the settlement
journeyed that way on his return from
hunting and saw and heard He quiet

Next day at Sunday-school the boy told
