The value of onions as a feed for fowls can scarcely be overrated. They are a preventive remedy for many of the diseases to which domestic fowls are liable. For gapes onions are the best things that can be fed. We recommend giving fowls and especially young chickens, as many as they will eat, as often as three times a week. They should be chopped up fine. No fewer than 3,976,409 rabbit skins were exported last year from New Zealand, the estimated value being £33,460. Once this industry is found profitable it ought to have a material efiect m diminishing the " furry pest."
