Now that rabbit poisoning is being so very generally adopted, it will be well for the owners of stock to keep a sharp look out for them. On the assertion of some wiseacres that the poison is not effective on cattle, horses, pigs, and poultry, it is the prevailing belief that such is the case. We are very credibly informed, however, that it is most destructive, our informants having had horses, cows, sheep, pigs, and every class of poultry poisoned. For our own part we do not know which is to be preferred—the cure or the disease. Wo shall leave that phase of the question to those interested ; but we think that on the commonages at least the poison should not be laid so as to endanger the stock of the settlers.
