Hunting lack R3bjts.

A correspondent oft he st. Louis
GloJc- Democrat, writing from Chinook,
Mont, tells the following story i'll re-
gard to jack RABBIT drives in his sec
ton of the country:
Il have been somewhat amused
reading some OF the Missouri snake
stories, but am not impressed with
them. They remind one Of having
snakes i'll ones boots, ~ the old story
goes.
"Not long since | noticed a letter
from correspondent, | think, from
Ohio, who was about to start a rabbit
ranch, and think | can put him on
4 better and more profitable scheme
to get a carload, more or less, of these
animals. Montana is State full OF
Jack rabbits, and in the fall and win
ter is q good time to catch them. The
cowbows often have great sport, after
the cattle are gathered and shipped,
with the aid OF the ranchers, in driv-
ing jack rabbits. They will get a rope
about one mile long and then form
into a company like soldiers, each
with lively broncho, and get in line
about ten rods apart, each taking hold
of the rope, so they can swing it, as if
they were swinging it for some fine
lass to jump rope; and as it comes to
the ground quite hard, hitting the
sage brush, it will scare the rabbits out
of their hiding places. The cowboys
keep this up for five or ten miles,
straight ahead, directing them to-
ward some good cattle corral. Then
the parties at the ends of the rope start
out at double quick to approach each
other, to guide the rabbits to the
corral, all the time keeping up tre-
mendous yell to scare the rabbits into
the trap. In this way there are often
many thousands OF rabbits caught at
one drive.
"For this Ohio party it would be a
pleasant pleasure trip for him to take
q trip to Montana and take rabbit
drive, would be much cheaper to get
the animals than to bother raising
them. Here, in the famous Garden of
Eden, the great Milk River valley, the
rabbits are plentiful, ard nuisance
to the farmer, who would be glad to
participate in the sport; while later
in the wiuter there are larger game,
as antelope, plentiful, and many other
wild game for sportsmen."

Preventing Flies.

One of the greatest nuisances about
a farm is the pest of flies in the sum-
mer and fall, says the Farm and Or
chard. 1t would be hard to estimate
the loss occasioned by them every
year about the barns, dairy and feed
lots. No COW can do herself justice
where she is forced to keep up con-
tinued battle with q swarm of flies
from daylight to dark. Worrying at
the flies is more wearing on a team
than hard labor. The cause of pas
tured and fattening stock losing flesh
in the summer is the flies. As with
most evils, the best cure is prevention.
To prevent the pest one must remove
their breeding-ground, which is the
filth and trash about the premises.
1t is the case on most farms that the
manure-heaps are allowed to accumu-
late during the summer and the yards
to 60 uncleaned. These furnish the
best of breeding-places for the flies.
Swill barrels and buckets, too, are
never washed out, but are allowed to
sour and become incrusted with dirt,
another source of flies. In feeding
hogs and calves milk and slop are
spilled about the troughs and barrels
day after day. The ground thus treat
ed soon becomes hotbed for the eggs,
which will hatch and feed there.
Open closets and uncovered drains are
another source, as in any place where
there is decayed matter or filth for the
maggots to thrive upon after hatch
ing. Flies are far more of a local
pest than most people imagine. A
farm house whose grounds are kept
clean and whose back yard is free
from refuse, slops, ETC., will be little
troubled with flies. Stock kept in a
clean stable or lot will be less troubled
than the animals of the untidy, shift
less farmer. Cleanliness and flies do
not thrive together.
