Eabbit.Ridden California.

IT is reported that the importation
OF Belgian hares in such vast numbers
threatens California with the same
danger which menaced Australia. They
are over-running tie whole country
10 such an alarming extent that u
bounty has been offered in some coun
lies for their skins.
This Is due partly TO over-importation
and partly TO their great fecundlty--
which, by the way, reminds one of the
small boy. who. frownlng over his
school task. wished he was a Belgian
hare, cause he'd heard they multiplied
rapidly"
At any rate. they have multiplied toe
rapidly for the peace of mind Of the
California rancher whose crops suffer
from the constant depredations of the
mlschevous animals.
\ way out OF the difficulty might be
suggested in Il recent statistical report
TO the effect that millions of rabbits
are slaughtered every year in the Brit.
ish Islands and Australia for their
fur, which is used in making felt hats.
Tremendous numbers of. these skins
are sent yearly TO hat manufacturers in
the United States. after being first
sent to Continental Europe to be
plucked of the long hairs which are
useless in felt making. This is done by
cheap hand labor. competent machinery
TO perform that work remaining still In
the limbo of the uninvented.
When the skins finally arrive here
they are shaved OF their close fur,
which then goes to the felter. 1t surely
seems as If there must be some eco.
nomlc method Of bridging this gulf
between so obvious an over-supply and
an equally great demand for the home
product rabbit skins.
