The rabbit pest of Australia has become
subject of national concern, and it is only
thirty years since the first rabbits, five or
six pairs. were brought there by an Eng
lish resilient of Victoria. SO destructive
to rastursge and vegetation generally had
they become in isso, and so universal was
the complaint against them that the Aus
trslian government, passed an act to
provide for the suppression of rabbits, -
appointing bailifs whose duty it was
TO destroy them on crown lands. AMI
To see tina, all walls, brush piles AMI what
ever of like nature nigh. afford them har-
borage were removed. They were also EN-
powered to 10 likewise with all other lands
1T the cost of the occupants. provided the
occupants failed to do SO. The killing of
certain carnivorous wild animals. hitherto
considered An anauestioned evil. was like
wise made illegal on the ground that they
assisted in the ex,crmination of the pest
But the measures. proved utterly
futile. A large unoecupied tract
Of country, supposed to be their
main breeding ground was fenced of
in ISss by woven wire fence 3 l-2 feet
high. The bottom of this fence was buried
to depth Of SIX inches 50 as to prevent
barrow ing under it. 10 stop jumping out
a harbsi wire was stretched six inches
above the top of the fence. 1t required 1871
miles of this fencing, and two years later ii
was extended l5e miles further to cut OF
ingrcss from another direction.
That this expediens brought little relief
appears in the fact that in 1857 the govern
mens of Ne~ South Wales offered reward
of fs5 900 to any person who would devise
or suggest > method or expedient for i'd
ding the country Of rabbits. A commission

n disposition to be persuaded by his it,
genious wooer, and that ut is inconceiyable
that he would submit to make the manufac-
turer u present of free wool without any
corresponding advantage to himself This
statement, from an unguestioned free trade
source, is directly in line with the POSITION
Of the Press and of every sincere Amer
lean protectionist. 1t applies with equal
force to iron, coal and every kind of raw
material which the United States is capable
of producing in quantities sufficient for its
own use.
Protection is not mere makeshift. IL
is not measure of expediency, devised to
enable manufacturers to make money at the
expense of other classes of the community
1t is broad and fundamental principal
that applies to the wool grower as well as
to the wooden manufacturer, 10 the man
who mines the iron as well as TO the man
who makes it into finished implements and
machines, to the product that goes into the
mill as well as to the product that comes
out of it. The Press has repeatedly
pointed ont that no product of human labor
can justly be considered as 'raw material
The wool of the farmer and the ore of the
miner are the finished products of the men
whose industry brings them to the condition
where they are fit for use in mill and facto-
ry. The man with twenty sheep is entitled
to protection as much as the manufacturer
who employs a thousand operatives. The
rugged miner, whose wages mean bread and
comfort to wife and little ones has the same
ght to demand protection for his product
rs the proprietor Of the great mills that are
capable of turning out steel armor plates
that weigh score of tons.
1t is the glory of the protective system
that it is comprehensive and impartial. Its
purpose is to benefit not an individual but
nation; not class but the whole people.
Admit so called raw materials free OF duty
and the primary principle of protection is
destroyed. 1t becomes under such circum-
stances an instrument for perpetusting
odious class distinctions, repugn,ut alike to
the interests and traditions of the Republic.
The American people will never consent to
legislation that will protect the capitalist
and leave the farmer AMI the wage Garner
Mt the mercy of unrestricted foreign com
petition. The men who call themselves
proteetionists and demand the abolition of
duties on the products of every class but
their own are disloyal to the cause of pro-
lection and the interests of the nation.

Winter Care Of Sheep.

You ask for a statement of my experience,
in the winter feeding of sheep, especial,
how many sheep winter upon ton Of
hay. and whether feed any grain. and il
so. how much.
/ have never wintered sheep upon hay
alone and cannot answer that portion OF
your inquiry from my own experience
NY practice is to feed as great variety al
foods as possible, as sheep are part cularly
benefited by such treatment. Ny sheep,
from fall to spring, have daily ration OF
hay Glover when have i'll roots and
wheat bran, with oat straw to nibble at
The ration is made up of two pounds oil
hay, eight or ten pounds of yellow Aber-
deem turnips, or five or six of ruta-bagas.
and one pound of wheat bran. OF the GA,
straw they will average about one pound.
When Sc have an abundance of the straw

This feeding is for, store sheep and ewes
with lamb For fattening sheep, and for
ewes after Landing. add one pound Of
corn. When. for any purpose. desire Il
give an extra heavy ration. add half a
pound of coarsely ground OF! cake.
In my Judgment it is very poor policy to
feed sheep upon hay alone. Where there
are no roots, wheat bran should alxavs be
used with The hsy. The cest of feeding
