Rabbits Eat Flesh ? — A Farmer's Boy. wiio writes 

 from Gondii, Vt., says.^bbits will eat lean ilesli g-reediiy, ' 

 aD.d some timet, l/ue/ will -eat fat, which is generally fatal 

 to them. Hence greaying trees prevents rabbits from ! 

 gnawing.ithem.. The best preventive, however, in a conn- / 

 try where white birch abounds, is to roll strips of .birch- / 

 bark around the apple-trees in Autumn. It should be re- 

 moved in Spring and laid away for future use. This bark 

 is a complete shield against mice or rabbits, as no animal 

 will eat it.
