Everybody has heard of the extraor dinary ravages of the European rab bits that wero introduced Into Auj tralla years ago. The unlmuls were imported no that the British subjects who bad removed to tho antipodes might enjoy the sport of rablt hunt ing. They had more sport than they bargnlncd for and tho whole country regrets the days tho little anlmnl was introduced to Australian scenes. There are many millions of them now and tho little nlbblers eat the grass, de stroy fields, orchards and gardens and are tho great nulsanco of tho country. Tho rewards offered by the various colonies for some sure way of destroy ing tho pest would make tho fortune of the man who should discover tho process. Today, however, the Aus tralians appear to be a little more re signed under the infliction. Tho Idci occurred to them, a while ao, that they might utilize tho anlmnl on i largo scale as a commercial commod ity. So they set to work to kill rab bits by tho thousands, can the meat nnd send it to Europo in cold storage. Australian canned rabbit sells at a cheap price In the Uritlsh mnrkets and is beginning to bo largely consumed by those who cannot afford very often to indulge in prime beef.
