Jack rabbits are much in need of
food, as the severe weather, coupled
with an abundance of snow, is cov

driving them into town. An instance

was revealed last week on the out
skirts of town when Mr. Frank Bridge
went to the stable on his farm to do
the chores. As he opened the door,
the elusive rabbit dashed past hiin
for other parts of the barn but Mr.
Bridge was more accustomed, to the
surroundings of the building and was
not long in capturing Mr. Longears.
The rabbit, which was a good size,
was brought to town next day and
turned over to a party who is caring
for it.—Palmerston Observer.
