The people of the short grass country
will be interested in the following from
K. B. Kncer, a college professor at Atch-
ison. Are you fond of rabbit pie9 If
so, be sure the rodent is thoroughly
cooked before you eat him. Every four
rabbits out CT five are afflicted with par
asite fiatsworms, or larval tape worms.
These worms pass their larval stage en-
cysted in little g%rapehke tumors in The
leg muscles of the animals, These worms
taken into the intcstines of dogs and
wolves which Prey upoc the rabbits de-
velop iuto tie adult form. which is capa,
BILE of producing millions of eggs. The
eggs, passing out with the excrement,
into the stomach and intestines of the
rabbits eg lin. Here they hatch. and the
larval worms bnrrow through the intes-
final walls into the muscles of the ami
Sometimes the worms %puncture the walls
of a VOLTS intestines and migrate into
the body tissues of hat animal, where
they may become encysted against nerve
plexuses, and cause partial paralysis of
the limbs. Pet coyotes fed upon rabbits
loon lose control of their hind legs. and
go about dragging their headquarters on
the ground. There is a possibility tina.
this particular species of the tape werm
will not develop in the human stomach.
but it is well to be on your guard and
have your stew well done, for yon may
be more of q rabbit than you think"

Imprisonment, lynching, desolate homes,
shame, humiliation and misery. The
