* In the above description I do not, of course, suggest you are to 

 incur the labour and expense of inclosing an acre or two of land, as 

 this would be out of the question. I merely recommend you to 

 encompass with the wire a few large burrows here and there, so that

 extent. A fifty-yard roll of wire will surround a large burrow, and 

 by means of rough-cut sticks can be fixed in position in a half-hour 

 or so by a couple of men.
