Minnesota farmers and others who
nave thought OF investing In Belgian
mares would do well to read the follow
ing from the San Diego (caL) Sun Of
Sept 4:
Belgian hares, their haunts and
habits. was the chief subject OF discus
sion before the board OF supervisors
this morning, and some startling stor-
les were told concerning the marvellous
fecundity OF tho rabbits and their de-
structive qualities where gardens ana
orchards are concerned. The Belgian
hare fad struck Southern California
about O year ago. Los Angeles. an
usual. being the chief storm center.
Six months ago the furore was at its
height, fancy imported hares being
bought and sold in Los Angeles and
Pasadena for as high as s.. 500 each.
Soon whole avenues were lined with
signs announcing Belgian hares for sale
at prices from $40 up. Then 1t dawned
on the rabbit fanciers that Belgian
hares were great multipliers and that
the market for rabbit meat was not
unlimited. Then came the crash OF q
bursted boom, and the whole hare busi-
ness fell TO the ground with a dull,
sickening thud. Now you can buy Bel
gian hares in Los Angeles for any old
price, and II you don't want to pay
anything you can have the hares for
nothing. II is the same here in San
Diego. Already many breeders are pre-
pairing to turn their rabbits loose on
the country, as they cannot sell them
at any price, and the fear has become
general that II this is done the coun-
try will be literally overrun within
f1ve years. Supervisor Griffin reported
that one woman near Encinitas has
three hundred which she intends to
liberate. and several other examples
were given. 1t appears that the favor
ite food OF the Belgian hare is the
tender bark OF young fruit trees. and
II the hares are not eNterminated the
fruit trees will be. The supervisors
therefore passed an ordinance compeIl-
ing all owners of Belgian hares to keep
The animals strictly confined. fixing the
penalty for turning them loose at not
less than $50 nor more than 800"
A writer in Farm and Fireside adds:
"And that's where the Belgian hare
fad has got TO in California, and that
is where It will soon get to all over the
country. except, probably. in the ex-
treme North. ] have opposed this fad
all along because I consider the Belgian
hare the equal in fecundity Of the Eng
lish sparrow. and likely to become q
thousand times more destructive to
fruit. vegetables and grain II turned
loose on the country. as IT is certain
to be when the fad expires. In the
southern part of Illinois / have seen
large orchards of apple trees stripped
OF bark to a height of two feet by our
common rabbit. And the damage was
all done in two nights. Wherever the
common rabbit abounds every orchard
ist fs obliged TO provide protection OF
some sort for his trees"

WATCHING AND WAITING.

Among the guests at the Raleigh q
few days ago was a well educated and
pleasant-mannered son OF India. He
had been at the hotel several times be-
fore. always ordered the best. and
paid his bills without complaint. On
this occasion he paid for his room in
advance and seemed to have plenty
Of money. When he was ready to de-
part, however, he confided to Clerk B.
A. Smith that he had lost his pocket
book and was without a cant. He did
not ask to borrow money, but when he
mentioned that he had friends in Bal
timore who would help him, Mr..
Smith offered to lend him a couple of
dollars. The Hindoo was profuse In
his thanks, and promised to return the
money as soon as he reached the Ma
ryland city. Yesterday Mr.. Smith re-
ceived a postal card from the man In
India, upon which was written:
IT herewith send you 81. Thanks.
very much. I appreciate your most
noble kindness"
Mr.. Smith looked first on one side
and then on the other OF the card, and
finally split II in two. but could find
no trace Of the 50. He Is now wonder
ing II the Hindoo Is possessed Of q
normally developed bump Of humor, OF
whether one Of those wonderful Indi-
an tricks Of magic is being performed.
The latter theory Is the more invit-
ing. ana he has placed the card In q

THE AFRICAN WAR.

The news from South Africa. barring
some unconfrmed rumors, have been
rather scanty the last few DAYS, but
that does not mean that both sides are
not actively preparing for the stroke
that is TO decide finally the contest be-
tween the two races.
Lord Roberts is now master over a
greater part Of the Free State Republic,
but his objective point Is the capital OF
the Transyaal, and there can be no
doubt that he Is preparing for an ad-
vance, perhaps along a route least ex-
pected by the enemy. The British
general Is known not to take any steps
without thorough preparations. and Il
may be expected that when he moves
north he win be able to hold every inch
Of ground over which he may spread his
vast army.
The indications at present are that
the Tsahsvaal Beers are determined TO
continue their resistance. But the
question Is whether they would not. ar
ter serious reverse. follow the exam
rle OF the Free staters. They are not
a warlIke people. They are farmers,
handy With a gun, but they are not,
strictly speaking, soldiers Their tastes
are not in a military direction, but
rather the opposite In a moment OF
enthusiasm Inspired by the oratory Of
their leaders, they would naturally rise,
seize their guns and meet an invading
army, They would remain In the field
