CATS AND RABBITS
Within the past few weeks upwards of 1000 cats have been sent from Wellington to Wairarapa for the purpose of annihilating the rabbits which infest the district. No fewer than 713 cats and kittens have been supplied to the Brancepeth Station, and several hundreds have been conveyed to Martinborough. On Messrs Beetham’s station the animals are placed in enclosures and fed upon mutton, so as to accustom them to the locality. In a short time they will be liberated, when it is hoped they will make havoc upon the rabbits.
