Practical Game-Preserving. 282 



The ordinary enteritis from which hares suffer is much 

 commoner. The lungs are not affected, though the other 

 symptoms are similar, but much less marked. The disease 

 is contagious, the water and certain kinds of soil becoming 

 infected. It is less fatal to the individual, but being 

 much more general and frequent, kills many more hares 

 than the typhus. Of course, there is no remedy known 

 applicable to these diseases in the hare, and whenever 

 anything of the kind occurs, the only thing to be done 

 to prevent further and future ravages is to kill off all the 

 hares and restock on a small scale a clear twelve months 

 afterwards. 



Liver disease and tapeworm are occasional in hares, but 

 cause but little mortality.
