HEDGEHOGS NUMEROUS
With the aicl of three small pit ! traps, says a contributor to Forest I and Bird, 317 hedgehogs were caught ; in 17 months, besides some rabbits , and a pole eat. Whether the he.dge u 5 hog is at present beneficial or otherwise to man's interest: it. must in r the end prove baneful because it has s no natural enemy in New Zealand i t and so far has been able to find amr _ pie food; moreover, it hibernates , during the season of food shortage.
