RABBIT ROUND-UPS.
How the California Vineyardists
Deal with the Pests.
An Annual Gathering: at Which Thou
sands of Jack Rabbits Are 'Cor
ralled and Exter
minatcd. "The people out in Fresno county,
Cal.. are getting ready for their annual
round-up and slaughter of jack rab
bits," said a leading vineyardist of Fres
no to a New York Sun man recently.
'"If it wasn't for this early spring sys
tematic raid upon these destructive
pests we would have scarcely a vine
yard or an orchard left in southern
California. On one day in March, gen
erally between the 10th and 15th, the
grape and small-fruit growers collect
together in their respective districts
and beat the country thoroughly to
drive the swarming jack rabbits from
their hiding places into immense wire
inclosed corrals, where they arc at the
mercy of their pursuers, and are
knocked in the head with clubs by the
thousand. 1 have known fifteen thou
sand jack rabbits to be slaughtered in
this way in a few hours. More than
that, these rabbits are such prolific
breeders that every one killed in March
or April means that there will be twenty-five
or thirty less than there would
have been if the rabbits knocked in the
head in the spring had been permitted
to live until the fall. These round-ups
are the only means wo have ever dis
covered by which the jack rabbit pest
has been kept down.
"The rabbits are unusually fond of the
young shoots of the grapevines, when
they make their appearance in the
spring, and of the tender bark of prune,
plum and other fruit trees, when the
sap starts. I have known twenty
.acres of vineyard ruined in a single
night by the chopping of the shoots by
these animals, and whole orchards of
valuable bearing trees killed by the
rabbits girding thein. Poison, traps
and guns failed to kill off the rabbits
fast enough, and fruit growing in that
part of California could necessarily
have been to a great extent abandoned
if a Fresno county genius hadn't
evolved the corralling idea five years
ago. ' The rabbits are driven into the
great wire-inclosed pound by hundreds
of people men, women and children
closing in around them and pre
venting them from going in any
other direction, except the one
that leads them into the corral.
Different districts have different days
for sotting out on the round-up, and the
slaughter goes on through March and
April. It is safe to say that one hun
dred thousand jack rabbits arc thus
killed every spring in that part of the
state. As at that season of the year
this big rabbit's flesh is in excellent
condition and the animal is highly es
teemed as food a two-fold benefit is de
rived from this great yearly slaughter.
"The California jack rabbit is the big
gest rabbit in existence, one five feet
long being not uncommon. They are as
fleet as the wind, but will sit still on
their forms, or by the roadside, until
you have almost grabbed them by their
muleJike ears, but before you have
closecr your fingers on them there will
ie no rabbit there, but if you look thir
ty or forty yards ahead you will see
what you think is another one humped
up in a fluffy bunch, waiting for you in
the same way. - But it won't be another
rabbit. It will be the same one. They
are swift and sudden as the fleas that
swarm on them as soon as the summer
comes. These fleas get so thick upon
the jack rabbit and are so ravenous that
they have actually reduced the long
eared, four-footed jumper to a skeleton
by the time the fall rains set in. If it
wasn't for these regular fall rains the
fleas would be of great service to us in
destroying the rabbit pest, for the rab
hits could not stand out many days
longer against the assaults of the lively
parasites. But the faU rains are fatal
to the fleas. The water kills them and
washes them off the rabbits and the lat
ter pitch in our vineyards and orchards
and grain with sharpened appetites."

I. a Grippe.
During the prevalence of the grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr.
King's New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured
cases of asthma and hay fever of long
standihg. Try it and be convinced. It
won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at
Snipes &. Kinersly's drug store.
A hkcknti.y enacted law in Australia
declares that a marriage may be an
nulled when proof is furnished that
the bride willfully concealed her age.
Strength and Health.
If you are not feeling strong and
healthy, try Electric Bitters. If "la
grippe" has left you weak and weary,'
use Electric-Bitters. This remedy acta
directly on liver, stomach and kidneys,
gently aiding those organs to perform"
their functions. If you are afflicted with
sick headache, you will rind speedy and
permanent relief by taking Electric
Bitters. One trial will convince yon
that this is the remedy you need. Large
bottles only 50c. at Snipes & Kinersly's
drug store.
Toe newest fad in table decorations
is to color the water in the finger
bowls in harmony with the dinner
scheme. A few drops of harmless
fluids produces, by lessening or in
creasing the little used, the exact tint
required.
There is nothing I have ever used for
muscular rheumatism that gives me as
much relief as Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does. I have been, using it for about
two years four bottles in all as occa
sion required, and always keep a bottle
of it in my home. I believe I know a
good thing when I get hold of it, and
Pain Balm is the best liniment I have
ever met with. W. B. Denny, dairy
