POSTUM BREEDING.

- 90 f.9ss
Mr.. lie Seoul, curator Of the Sgd
ney Geological gardens, has proposed
the breeding Of opossums in Queens
land on systematic lines. The skin
Of these little. furry animals has be-
come SO valuable that unless some
protection is accorded possums may
soon become extinct. Mr.. LIE Scout
would select, he says, a site sheltered
from the westerly winds, as possums
like protection from the cold while
they are feeding. They do not like
to be disturbed, either, by the winds
shaking the branches while feeding.
The land should be fenced with six
foot galvanized iron to keep them
from climbing Or jumping over.

the letter in the split and hurries to
