Tubes of infected broth containing virulent chicken-cholera germs may be 
obtained only upon written application to the Government Bacteriologist, 
*Stock Institute, Brisbane. 
It is hoped that all persons making use of this method of rabbit destruction 
will report to the Government Bacteriologist whether the results they obtained 
were satisfactory or otherwise. 
On sand hills where rabbits are extremely numerous, and where water is 
scarce, the following method, which has proved successful, may be adopted, 
viz. :—Secure several shallow vessels, such as kerosene tins cut down to about 
8 or 4 inches in depth, jam tins, &c.; half fill them with water; then take the 
livers of rabbits recently dead of chicken cholera, and mash them up by 
squeezing through the fingers, and well mix with the water. The tins of 
infected water are then placed under a shady bush in the immediate vicinity 
of a rabbit warren, in order to protect them from the sun’s rays. It is 
advisable to sink the tins an inch or two in the ground to prevent them being 
easily knocked over.
