But to the man who owns the apple orchard, the picture ceases to be beautiful; his eye is ob- scured with the black whisperings of vengeance, and thinking only of the danger threatening his new trees, he reaches for his gun, and sallies forth into the night with the intention of making a red mark just under the two black ears. Lepus transition ulis, a rabbit of the woods, is quite as frequently a rabbit of the orchard ; and the amount of damage he is capable of doing there is in- calculable. He girdles the trees, gnaws the lower twigs, and even climbs into the environing shrubbery to reach the higher ones and denude them of bark and '/'^ buds. But besides the â - -..-^ -'-'â mw apple tree, he feeds on the "Mollie Cottontail." briers, sumachs, hazels, black birches, hickories, and shrubbery in general wliich he finds on the roadside and in the garden. He has also other enemies than man, chief among which are the fox, ermine, eagle, and great horned owl; besides these he is subject to attacks by the snowy owl, the larger hawks, the marten, and the mink..
