Thompson, of Reno, defended the rabbit sec¬ 
tion of the bill. He said that while Reno has 
25,000 acres of alfalfa, it also has thousands of 
acres of fruit orchards. Rabbits do untold dam¬ 
age to the latter, the loss running up into many 
thousands of dollars. 
A hot opponent of the gun license feature said 
this extension of the game law would go on 
until when a man found a rattlesnake he would 
have to tie a blue ribbon to its tail while he went 
and got a license to kill it. He thought a per¬ 
son should be able to go out and exterminate 
pests of whatever description without a license. 
Rhodes, of Marshall, told how the commis¬ 
sioners of his county had paid out last year over 
$4,000 for gopher scalps, which would represent 
40000 scalps, and had rescinded the order be¬ 
cause they were paying out too much money 
and getting too few gophers. This was ex¬ 
plained by several members as partly due to 
the ingenious plan of the youthful gopher 
hunter, who can, by skilful manipulation of a 
single gopher scalp with a knife and stick, bring 
forth many and whose output is limited only by 
the number of his hides and not the number of 
lljg SC3.1pS 
Bird, of Shawnee, said he understood the offer 
had been withdrawn in Marshall because the law 
had been declared unconstitutional and because 
the gophers had been practically extei minated. 
It was suggested that the gophers increase 
faster than they can be killed by piesent 
methods and that the proper move would be to 
follow the plan adopted so successfully in the 
crusade against prairie dogs, that is. refer the 
matter to the experts of the Kansas State agri¬ 
cultural college with instructions to discover a 
poison that would exterminate the gophers, who 
seem to be immune to the article that proved 
fatal to the prairis dog.—Topeka Journal.

TASMANIAN RABBIT INDUSTRY. 
Consul Henry D. Baker writes from 
Hobart, that during the last few years the 
rabbit industry in Tasmania has assumed con¬ 
siderable proportions. His particulars follow: 
“Rabbits for export are trapped only in the 
winter months, when their fur is at its best and 
the industry affords remunerative wages for a 
number of men and boys at a time when agri¬ 
cultural operations are dull. The trappers dis¬ 
embowel the rabbits on the spot and cart them 
to the nearest railway station for dispatch to 
the freezing works at Hobart or Launceston. 
The rabbits are graded as to size and packed 
in crates holding from twenty-four to thirty 
rabbits, according to size, which are then stored 
in a freezing chamber. Periodically a steamer 
calls and takes a consignment of frozen rabbits 
to England. The season is just now approach¬ 
ing, and appearances seem to point to a busy 
time for the trappers. The total Australian ex¬ 
portation in 1906 of frozen rabbits and hares 
was valued at $2,391,563, and of rabbit skins 
$2,323,510.”

DISEASES OF DOGS. 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. Ivo. Cloth, $3.90 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far aneadof 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. rhe 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any futuro work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary and sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.
