In an issue of the Baltimore Ameri.

Commission is endeavoring to get a
more strict law thorough the Legisla.
ture for the protection of rabbits and
| squirrels.
Rather than more strict law q
bounty should be given for the des.
truction of these animals. Three sea-
sons ago | brought with me a collec.
ton of several hundred varieties OF
desert grapes, apples and pears for
the purpose of starting a nursery for
their propagation and sale-nearly
every tree was girdled and nearly
every one eaten of at the ground level:

Der of rabbits last season, with but

Squirrels not alone destroy much
corn but they chip unripened pears and
apples to pieces TO get at the tender
seeds. Neither squirrels or rabbits
have any place on the farm or nursery.
