82 FACT AGAINST FICTION. 



the wire- worm combined to prevcnt;any retmii, the 

 entire deficiency was laid on the rabbits, and the 

 tenant attempted to make property out of the bad 

 name the, in this case, mioffending creatm^es had 

 established for themselves elsewhere. 



On the subject of farms, game, and rabbits, I 

 will reiterate my advice — never to give the tenant, 

 imder any circumstances whatever, permission to 

 kill the rabbits. It is not in his power to ^' destroy" 

 them, iior can he keep them sufficiently under. 

 The owner of the game and the shooting, with his 

 keepers, alone can effectually accomplish the desired 

 and really needful object ; and I have no hesitation 

 in saying, that it is the duty of the game-2)reserver 

 as carefully to protect the tenant's crops, as it is 

 his pleasurable desire to preserve his own game.
