Frozen Hares. 



His Majesty's Consul at Rosario reports that the ship- 

 ment of frozen hares to the London 

 Frozen Hares. , . ■ . , 



market is about to be tried as an experi- 

 ment. This new trade is remarkable, because it is only 

 about sixteen years since hares were first introduced into the 

 Argentine Republic from Germany by a well-known German 

 merchant. In the provinces of Santa Fe and Cordoba these 

 animals have increased to such an extent that in the near 

 future, notwithstanding that they are constantly hunted and 

 shot, they threaten to become a scourge to farmers.
