The "poetry" Did the Work.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2.-The re-
cital of the following poem by Rep
resentative Ed. Croan won the day
for his dog bill, which was passed
by vote of 65 to 21 in the house:
The farmer makes a living by tn
sweat of his brow,
The fruit of his farm and the milk of
his COW;
He pays big taxes on horses and hogs,
And favors a tax on blameworthy
dogs.
Had Caesar opposed such a measure
in Rome
The raisers of sheep would have torn
down his home;
And the star of his glory, which
greater did wax,
Would have waned from the time he
opposed a dog tax.

ing the present year. Every week I'D 10
l40 tons of skins are sold N Sydney n
about 100 tons in Melbourne and the prices
The prices now are from % cents to 80 a
pound and on an average seven skins go
TO a pound. The buyers come mostly from
the United Kingdom and from America,
but the hat manufacturers Of sydney n
Melbourne are large purchasers. Just now
100000 rabbit skins. representing an ap-
proNimate value OF 100000 are weekly ar
irving in Sydney.
SO profitable, indeed, has become the Skn
industry that many ~trappers, especially
those in the far-out districts, are devotins
the skins and discarding the carcasses they
avoid the cost and risk of forwarding the
latter hundreds Of miles TO cold storage.
The effect Of this is that exporters are
often apt to be unable to get sufficient
supplies of carcasses.
OF course an incidental but important ad-
vantage will be that the industry will
serve to keep tho rabbit pest under con
troll. In fact, news comes from Carcoar
to the effect that owing to the activity OF
trappers rabbits are for the first tine in
the recollection of the oldest ~inhabitant nc
longer a nuisance in that center. Another
advantage viii be that the consumer OF
canned rabbit Will have larger supplies at
a smallar cost OF a good, wholesome, pal.
atable article Of meat diet. The develop
ment should assist the realization Of the
cheap dinner table.
