Laet. Rabbit Hunt in Colora 10.

When the special train bringing the
visiting hunters reached Lamar there
was brass band at tt-s station, and
the brass baud was there when they
left. The merchants closed their
stores and the people threw open their
houses for the entertainment of their
guests. After the hunt began, the ir-
regular discharge Of the rifles in the
sand hills around Lamar reminded one
of picket firing. When n rye party
OF gunners found a stretch of prairie
where the rabbits were thick, the re.
port OF the guns sounded like gen
eral engagement. Though the rabbit
hunt Is fixed annual event in Lamar,
and rabbits ara killed by thousands,
there seems 10 be no decrease in the
number. They multiply SO rapidly
during the summer months that it
becomes necessary 10 make some sucn
organized attack OF them, for they
are becoming as great nuisance as
they are IN Australia. The rabbits
breed on the grassy plains above the
canals, where they stay until their
forage fails them. They then gather
in the alfalfa fields, which accounts
for their being so numerous at this
season OF the year.
At the beginning of the hunt the
wagons began coming in at 4 o'clock,
and continued until 9 at night, with
heaping loads of the slain furry enc.
mics of the farmer. The cleaners be-
gan their wor with the first wagon
load, and WORKED brlvelv, but the odds
were againft them, aud they were soon
half buried in the mass of rabbits
awaiting preparation for shipment, At
the first days hunt fully 1000 -ere
killed. No wagon brought IL fewer
than 100 rabbits, and one went rs high
rs 40, about 5000 pounds. A great
number OF rabbits were slain which
were not brought IL. All records
were broken at this hunt, aud not a
single accident occurred to mar the
pleasure OF the participants.
When spring comes, All the fresh
green grass comes mp, the iackribbits
appear in large number, AMI begin
to nibble on the bark of the young
fruit trees AMI the vines Whole or
chards are destroyed by them If
YOU were to walk through a large
vineyard you might not see one rnb.
bit, although hundreds might be
around you. They secrete themselves
very cleverIy in the grass, aud being
so nearly the color of the ground are
hard to detect. They lie close. with
their large ears hlt upon their backs,
until disturbed, and one can almost
walk over them before they will move.
