RABBITS TO SAVE
FOOD SITUATION,
AVER BREEDERS
Nebraska Association Urges
Every Family to Maintain
Plot for Raising of Bun
nies for Meat.
The business of breeding rabbits
for food will go a long way toward
saving the produce situation now fac
ing the country, according to C. R.
Pinneo, president of the Nebraska
Rabbit Breeders' association.
The Rabbit Breeders' association,
which meets the second Monday of
tne month in the Douglas county
court house, will inaugurate a cam
paign to obtain more members at its
net session, to which the public is
invited.
President Pinneo in a statement de
clares: "A United States governmental re
port states that every farm in the
country must support four families
that is, the farmer must raise enough
crops to supply his own family and
three other families who live in cities
or towns and who raise nothing. That
iwhat makes prices so high and that
is why there are always big oppor
tunities for those who have hereto
fore never been producers of food,
but who will start to be in their spare
time.
"Not every one need raise wheat
nor corn, nor oats, nor vegetables.
Not every one need raise cattle, or
sheep, or horses. Not every one need
have an orchard nor a meadow, nor
a silo. America's wants in food are
so varied and diversified that the man
or woman who raises any kind of
food helps to keep the cost of living
down, and also adds wonderfully to
his own income.
Money to Be Made.
"There is as much monev to be
made from the back yard or a vacant
lot, if the right kind of crops be raised
thereon, as there is from a farm or
a big orchard, but you must choose
your crops carefully. You must not
attempt to compete with the farmer
who has the enormous farm to work
on. lo help out the one who has a
desire for back yard farming I
would suggest raising the Belgian
hare. It is without doubt the most
profitable animal raised which can be
handled in a small way at first. It
multiplies very rapidly, is easy to
take care of, and there is a constant
demand for all that you can raise,
both for breeding and for sale as
food. Game is rapidly disappearing
from our markets and something
must take its place to appeal to those
who love the game flavor and exotic
thrill which such things give to the
palate;
"Remember Aladdin and his won
derful lamp? All he had to do was
to rub the lamp and wish and he got
everything he wished for.
"In this day and age we have no
wonderful lamp, but what more could
we wish for than the Belgian hare,
New Zealand red or Flemish giant.
With them you can wish for profits
and realize your wish. You can raise
these rahbits, which are more sub
stantial than ordinary rabbits, in your
own lot and make money. They
qan be bred from four to six times
a. year, with litters averaging from
six to 12, and these can be sold at
good prices as a food commodity
and breeding purposes.
Idle Time Utilized.
. !T,ne amount of profit thrown away
in idle moments that might be utilized
with profit in raising rabbits, espe
cially for one's own table use, cannot
be easily computed, but it is enor
mous, to say the least
"A dozen breeders require little
time to feed, and if properly handled,
will easily supply the table of a large
family with meat. Considered from
the standnoint of the amount nf nour
ishment to be obtained rrom rabbit
meat and the ease with which it is
obtained, together with the assur1
ance of its cleanliness, it is to be
wondered at that every family does
not produce its own meat supply.
"The initial investment necessary to
start the business is no greater than
the amount required for a proper start
raised in sections of towns and in
cities where poultry keeping is pro
hibited. It is not to be contended
that rabbits will take the place of
poultry. In the item of egg produc
tion alone the hen will hold her place
in the esteem of the public.
Government to Help.
"The United States Department of
Agriculture, which has heretofore
given little or no attention to the cul
ture of rabbits, is at the present time
doing considerable to encourage an
increased interest in the breeding of
this little animal. This is gratifying to
the promoters of the industry, in as
much as the department never en
courages an industry which has no
well-defined commercial value.
"Of all the 'backyard industries'
rabbit craft offers the best oppor
tunities. Rabbits make no noise. If
properly fed and cared for there is
. no odor about them. They require a
very small amount ot space, ihey
can be fed before daylight and after
night-fall, which is of considerable
importance to the man who goes to
work at 7 o'clock in the morning
and does not return until 5 o'clock
in the evening, especially during the
winter months. The fact that the
young are taken care of by the doe
rabbit must not be overlooked as an
item versus chickens.
Will Eat Anything.
"Our government has asked that
everyone raise a small garden, for
their own use in order that we might
have more for our boys at the front
as well as our allies. It is the patriotic
duty of everyone to do this, and if it
is our duty to raise garden truck, why
not go a little farther and add a
couple of rabbits, as they can be
raised on the off-fall of your garden.
A rabbit can be fed cabbage leaves,
carrot tops, beet tops, weeds, grass
and clover may be fed green, while
any kind of hay is good for winter
feed prairie grass, timothy, clover
or alfalfa, together with oats, barley
or mash, are also excellent feeds.
In starting, it is not necessary to
go to the expense of building regula
tion hutches for them. A dry goods
box three feet by four feet is plenty
large, by covering the top with oil
cloth so the rain cannot get in, and
covering the front with one inch
chicken wire, with a drop curtain of
burlap to keep out the wind and rain,
and a small box placed on the inside
for a nest box where the doe can
have her young. Bv following the
above it can readily be seen that the
cost of raising them is practically nil,
while the space needed is so small it
need hardly be mentioned.
"The rabbit is in my opinion the
only solution to the meat shortage
throughout this country. The object
of this article is to impress upon
you, that you are the person to raise
rabbits, whether you be the man or
woman, you cannot put ff your duty
by saying you cannot ifford it or
haven't the time. Our csmtry needs
an increase of meat, antf everybody
must help.
"The rabbit if bred isttbound to
have young, and the jpung are
needed all over the country, so that
the only limit to your income Vould
be the number of rabbits you could
raise.

Rail Officials Fail to
Find Cause of Curtis Wreck
Assistant General Manager Thie
hoff of the Burlington has returned
from Curtis, Neb., where Tuesday
afternoon passenger train No. 151
was wrecked by going into the ditch,
killing two persons and injuring 55
more.
A thorough investigation into the
probable cause of the wreck was
made, but without results entirely
satisfactory to the railroad people.
They find that.it was brought about
by one of three causes. It was due
to a broken flange on a wheel of
one of the cars, a broken rail or a
broken truck. Which of the three
was responsible Mr. Thiehoff is un
able to say, but he is inclined to the
opinion that there was a broken
wheel.
Wife's Unerring Aim is
Source of Family Rows
Oscar Erickson, endeavoring to es
tablish a defense to the charge of
abandonment preferred by his wife
Sarah, testified that she had been
"talking with other men,"nd when
he remonstrated with her they quar
reled. She threatened to throw a shoe at
my head," he said, "and I, thinking
she was afraid, told her to go ahead.
She did. The next thing I knew she
was sprinkling my face with some
water." He asserted that at another
time she became jealous of him and
aimed a flat iron at his head. He
dodged and caught it in the neck, he
said. Judge Fitzgerald released him
under $100 peace bond.
Two Arrested by Federal
Agents on Dope Charge
Victor Lopez, a Mexican, and Char
les Tyrrell, negro, were arrested by

ing "dope" in their possession. One
