Utilizing the Australian Rabbit Pest.

Utilizing the Australian Rabbit Pest.
Australia seems to be in a fair way
of turning her long suffering pest into
source Of profit. AS is we'll known
the increase Of rabbits in that country
was so rapid that they became seri-
Gus menace to its agricultural interests.
Every possible device was resOrted to
for their determination, but without
success, and the continued multiple
ca ton of them in the agricultural dis
tricts came to be about the most seri-
Gus problem confronting the govern
ment At the same time Australian
rabbits were recognized to be excep-
tionally well suited for food purposes.
The rabbit is OF good size, and is said
to be Of excellent flavor. About ten
years ago, two or three factories We're
established in Australia where rabbits
were cooked and put up in tin cans for
the trade, which speedily developed
into unexpectedly large proportions
In addition to the canned meat largt
number of rabbits were frozen and
sent abroad for market purposes.
Since that time the trade has grown
with leaps and bounds, although the
system of freezing is said to be ever
yet far from being fully perfected.
New refrigcrators and appliances arc
even now being introduced in a num-
Der of large factories. 1t may not be
surprising to know that the American
people have been large consumers of
Australian rabbit meat. Mr.. j. G.
Mollson, one OF the largest meat pack
crs in Sydney, Australia, has been
making a recent visit to this country
and in speaking of the demand for can
ned rabbit meat in the United States,
he said:
My factory alone exported fully
1000, 900 rabbits to this country last
year, and l expect that figure to have
increased by at least half million by
the end of the next twelve months. l
received a cablegram the other day
from my manager that the Japanese
government had just placed an order
with my factory for 250,00J tins of pre-
served rabbits for the army in the field.
The RABBITS are caught in the country
districts most OF them being trapped,
while others are dug out of the bur
rows Rabbits that have been shot OF
caught by dogs are worthless, because
they are bruised. The rabbits caugh:
for me are sent to my factory in carts,
and they are then placed in refriger-
dting chambers to await shipment
abroad. The trappers. who receive
from ) cents to 10 cents 4 pair, make
good wages, an expert man netting
from sl5 to S25 per week." 1t is evil
dent that what was once regarded as I:
curse 10 Australia is rapidly becoming
IL very important source of revenue to
that country, and is destined to play
by no means an unimportant part lis
the food problems Of the world.

what unusual for a physician to pub

a patent medicine. DR.. Williamson
says:

There are, he says, 100000 pores in

blood vessels, would extend for a dis.
