say on the subject of pet rabbits:
Tait-' "Rabbits are very fond of corn
and 'oatsas well' as • wheat and'
grass, clover, carrots, turnip tops,
apple and potato parings, • peas.
beans, Celery and • all green vege-
tables As these little animals are
almost always nibbling they
should have some food in the
hutch all•the time.
• ,.• Always Nibbling
"Have a dish of fresh water in
the hutch where the rabbits can .
easily; reach'it. It is true they get
considerable moisture from the
green food they eat, but they , do
"need to have fresh writer at..all
times. See that the .hutch is' always
clean, ' P
"Never -lift' a grown rabbit by its
ears. The'enrs•are very sensitive

nothing new and that dt has been

In connection with„ its Tercen-

years ago, a faculty :member of
the University of _Maryland 'had -
been delving into ancient laws of
the Colony and found that anti -
crow legislation was passed • in

pearing err the :~Ma-ryland--Censer-
vationist: "It carried the self=ex,.
planatory title; 'An Act to En-
crourlage the Destroying. of Wolves,
Crows and Squirrels'." ' • . '
Three Crows A Year
"Eves master, mistress, owner
of a family or single, taxable in
the counties of the province," the
researched pointed out, "was re,''
quired`to submit••annually that ei-
ther, three crows three squir-e
rels had been killed for every .tax=
able person they shall pay levy
for that yeas:"• ••
"The heads of the dead crows
or the scalps •of killed squirrels
had to be submitted before coun-
ty justices or other officials who.,
in turn, were obliged to destroy
th4 evidence se that it could not
be utilized over again. •`
"A credit of two pounds of to-
bacco against the yearly taxes was
allowed for carrying ,out the de-
struction prescribed by the legis-
lation, but a fine of •two pounds of
tobacco was demanded in ease • no
evidence of the .prescribed crow•
and 'squirrel mortality was pro-
dueed. :A credit of 200 pounds of
tobacco was• allowed for the kill-
ing of wolves."
