Trying to Save the Ant Bear.
New York Evening Post.


An effort is TO be made in Cape Colony to
prevent the threatened extermi1atiou of
that curious but useful quadruped, the
aardvark. or ant bear, which is one of the
very best friends of the white eolonists. al
though they have only lately been induced to
believe it, lis food Is the white ant, which
does enormous mischief to the crops.
Against these pests the bear wages ceaseless
warfare. digging out their nests and de.
stroying them in countless numbers I'm
fortunately the natives are especially fond
of ant bear meat, which resembles a very
good quality Of pork, and also hunt it for iis
hide, which is worth about 81 in the market.
Not only this, but the white colOnists have
chosen to classify the hunting of the un-
happy beast under the head of sport"
which consists in drowning him out OF the
hole aud then killing him with dogs. or
drowning him In 1t and then ignominiously
digging out his carcass. The White ant is
increasing with ominous rapidly, and the
farmers associations are in state of con-
siderable alarm.
