CATCHES RABBITS IN NUMBER.
Victim Traps Himself and Resets
The Snare for Others.

The Snare for Others.
Consul General Bray reports from
Melbourne that new rabbit trap is
being used in Australia with great
success, whereby rabbits may be
caught alive i'll very large numbers.
1t is used in connection with small
trap yards, diagrams for the construc-
tion of which are supplied by the
patentee- of the traps. The trap 1t.
self is is inches long, u inches high
and 6 inches in width. 1t has a bal
anced moving floor and door at
each end, which opens and closes au-
tomatically. The weight OF rabbit
on the inverse end OF a floor closes
the door behind him by which he has
entered and opens the door in front
leading to the trap yard, so that the
rabbit has no option but to go on,
and when he leaves the trap 1t goes
book 10 its former position, thus re-
setting itself. The small trap yards
are constructed Of do1ble-wire netting
fences, in the spaces between which
green fodder or hay is cultivated or
provided, and, although these foods
cannot be reached by the rabbits, ii
entices them 10 enter through the
traps to try and get out the fodder
from the other side. Two, three or
more traps may be used in connec'
ton with each trap yard. The infen-
tion has been tried with great sue
cess on several extensive ranches in
Australia, and the inventor has
number of certificates from leading
rancbmen, one Of whom states that
with two of the traps sci at small
water hole he caught CSC rabbits IN
one night.
