What the Rabbit Costs Australia.

The state Of South Australia has,
since 1891. erected 29,14S miles Of
-vermin fences" enough to encircle
the globe and with the remnant build
a double line of fence along the south
ern border of the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased.
New South Wales has expended over
S27000,000 for rabbit determination and
has within its borders $4,000 miles of
fence. One of West Australians fences
extends entirely across the continent.
OF late years the rabbit has been re-
paying in part for his keep-paying
board, as 1t were. He goes to swell
the total of food exports from the
commonwealth. Along the country
roads rabbits may be seen hung on
the fences awaiting the passage of the
rabbit carts which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for
shipment as frozen meat and hides.
Practically all are exported (the Aus
tralian does not eat "vermin"), and
during 1913 frozen rabbit and hare to
the value of 100000 and skins to the
value OF $3,O00,000 were sent from
commonwealth ports
