STARVING RABBITS. Hutchinson, Kans., Feb. 6—Made I desperate by hunger, hordes of famI ished jack-rabbits are raiding the farm yards ana reed lots on western Kansas ranches, according to reports from that section of the state, and robbing | cattle and other live stock of their food. I Deprived of their usual food by the I deep snow which covers that section : of the state, the rabbits invade the ; farms and granaries and cause great loss to the ranchmen. Where corn has been left in the shock, or where : hay has been stacked, the little ani ! mals congregate by thousands and, in : their desperate straits eat thousands of dollars' worth of grain and other feed that is greatly needed by the farmers for their stock. : So numerous are the rabbits that it ! is imposstw.e for the farmers to protect themselves from them. Thousands of them have died from starvation, but there appears to be little diminution i in their number. : Some farmers report that the rab- • bits have invaded hog pens and by • sheer force of numbers driven the hogs away from their feed, one farmer whose reputation for truth and veracity is good, reporting that he saw a I drove of rabbits invade his hog pen, I take ears of corn in their jaws and i leap back over the fence and retreat , to a safe distance to devour their i loot. i Fiank Winslow, a ranchman in , Hodgeman county, also said that he I had seen rabbits invade the hog lots and grab corn out of the mouths of the hogs. I "Every day since the big snow," Mr. Winslow said, “the ranch hands have been feeding a bunch of cattle in the feed lots, but they reported that the stock appeared to be hungry all the time and appeared to be growing weaker and thinner. I made an in- ’ vestigation ana found that as soon as ’ the hands would get the feed dumped ; on the ground and leave for other ’ fields that hordes of jack-rabbits would Tush upon the feed and devour it." — Kansas City Star.
