/. Jack Rabbits in Nebraska.

Experts connected with the entomo-
logical department of the Nebraska uni
versity are giving much thought to the
discovery of means of discriminating the
jack rabbit, which has become an intol-
cradle nuisance. He is an interesting
specimen of the useless among animals,
and can be explained only on the ground
advanced by the German father in reply
to the inquiry of his son as to what the
kangaroo was good for: "Well, my boy,
the Australians must have something to
laugh at" Nebraska has two varieties,
the black tail and the silver TAIL but
while distinct varieties there is no appre-
cable difference in their size, habits or
food preferences The females of the
species are surprisingly prolific. Nature
doubtless had some use for jack rabbits.

the coyote, who kept them within
bounds. But the coyote is a disagreeable
neighbor, and the Nebraska authorities
offered a bounty for coyote scalps which
resulted in their practical determination.
This was the jack rabbits opportun-
ity. He put his house in order and pro-
ceeded to devote his best energies to the
raising of children, in which he has been
remarkably successful. But the Me-
braska farmers are not much better sat-
isfied with them than with the coyotes.
They argue that while farming may be a
healthful and agreeable occupation, it Is
not wholly satisfactory from the eco
nomic point Of view il the farmers prin-
cipal business in life Is to raise food for
the jack rabbits who appropriate it
without compensation. The result of his
dissatisfaction will undoubtedly be that
the jack rabbit will sooner or later be
decimated, and perhaps exterminated.
