Rabbits and Fruit Trees. 



Editor Game Breeder: 



Is there any way of feeding wild rab- 

 bits in winter where they are plentiful 

 so as to keep them from eating the bark 

 of fruit trees and others? 



G. W. R. 



One method of preserving rabbits and 

 saving the underwood from their attacks 

 is judicious feeding. There are many 

 foods which rabbits prefer to the bark' 

 of trees. Owen Jones, a capable English 

 keeper and author, says, "Swedes or 

 mangels, and some tightly tied bundles 

 of clover-hay, if thrown down in the 

 rabbit's resorts, will prevent much dam- 

 age, and prove indirectly an excellent 

 investment. The food will go far to- 

 wards allowing foxes, shooting-tenants, 

 farmers, landlords and the rabbits to 

 dwell together without extraordinary an- 

 noyance to each other." Various meth- 

 ods of protecting the trees with wire, 

 etc., have been tried. 



Egg Percentages. 



If over eighty per cent, of the pheas- 

 ant eggs hatch, this is considered good. 



Owen Jones says, "a keeper may con- 

 gratulate himself if he turns a thousand 

 pheasants into covert from fifteen hun- 

 dred eggs set."
