A Rabbit Plague in the West.

Jack rabbits have become @ plague
in the West. The cultivation of wide
areas of land has favored their increase
by furnishing unlimited food. Their
depredations in California, Colorado.
Idaho and Utah have grown SO serious
that the problem of Keeping them IN
check is regarded with anxiety.
These rabbits are largely used for
food and for sport in the West. In
fair race they can outstrip all but the
hounds, and can keep abreast Of arall-
way train running at a moderate speed
for some distance. Large quantities
of the animals are shipped to market
every year as game.
In California the most effective
method OF determination thus far tried
is tho "drive," An enclosure, open
at one end, is made of wire netting,
and from the opening OF this pen di-
verging wings of wire nets are carried
out in the form of .wide-mothed V,
sometimes for distance of two or
three miles.
A rabbit drive in Cali 'ornia is al
WAYS q gala day. Excursionists are
attracted in large numbers by special
rates offered by the railways. The
people turn out with sticks and clubs,
and, scattering over great extent OF
country, start the rabbits and drive
them toward the mouth of the corral.
Every available vehicle is pressed into
service, but The larger part OF the
throng is usually on foot. The lines
gradually close in, and the frightened
bunnies, urged on by blows and
shouts, rush blindly into the opening
between the wings and are gradually
crowded toward the narrow end OF the
pen. where they are soon despatched
with clubs. The number of rabbits
killed varies from few hundred up
to 10, 900, or even 10000 in q single
day.
The climax of the drive is painful
scene. Hundreds OF men and boys
rush into the pen; the screeching OF
the rabbits can he heard above every
thing, and the ground is covered with
dead bunnies by the hundred. At the
entrance of the corral the scene IS in
describably pitiful. TO beat the poor
screaming animals to death is short
work, but everybody is glad when it y
over.
In 155 drives in California, from
1875 to 1895, 100000 rabbits weri
killed. Similar hunts frequently take
place in Colorado, and the dead rab
bits are distributed among the poor @
Denver and Pueblo. They are trans
ported free of charge by the railways
This charitable work was begun abou
four years ago. Last season 45O'
rabbits were distributed in Uenyel
alone.

Printing Ink.

Printing ink manufacturing is a
trade in which New York has long en-
loved deserved supremacy. 1t is also
one the statistics Of which ore diff cult
to get at automatically. The fact may
be accepted thatth making OF printers
ink in New York has kept pace with
the necessities Of the printers. As the
art preservative has developed on tno
artistic side and the question OF an ink
suited to the printing OF illustrations
became acute the manufacturers have
met the need. Inks Of tho manufac.
tnrers here are sold in all great inland
cities where the local manufacturers
have failed to meet the demand. Fif'
teen firms are engaged in the trade
here. and their estimated aggregate
capital Is about S., 900, 0CN, In view
Of this the estimate of n we'll known
manufacturer that IS, 900, 900 OF fprint-

Growing and deepening as new hopes In
