    3. 12.08.1903 Bruthen & Tambo Times Rabbit trapping must be a profitable occupation in the Ensay district. We are informed that the Messrs Poynton of that district, put on a trapper at 10s per week and found and that in a few weeks he trapped over 3000 rabbits and cleared £30 by the sale of skins. The property owners are beginning to realise that trapping is more effective in lessening the pest than is the laying of poison, while the former is less costly. 25.01.1905 Bruthen & Tambo Times Rabbits are said to be increasing in the Gelantipy districts and the landholders are offering exceptional terms to trappers and others to destroy the vermin.
