Expert Grower Gives Valuable
Information to Those Who
Contemplate Going Into
the Business.
By L. H. PINNEO.
It is very important to any one
starting in the Belgian hare business,
that they be very careful in the se
lection of their breeding stock. If
you are starting in the business to
raise them for meat only, then the
grade is not so important; all you
want is an animal of good size and
hardy stock. However, it costs no
more to raise well-bred stock than
it does the grade animal, the differ
ence coming in the fact that you can
always command a good price for
your surplus stock for breeding pur
poses. Another point on breeding, the
beginner want to be sure that he
does he buys are at least eight
months to a year and a half old. In
breeding it makes no difference how

Pleasure and Profit.
The raising of rabbits combines
both pleasure and profit and as time
rolls on the demand for them is
bound to increase. At the present
time the demand far exceeds the sup
ply. There is no reason why the
rabbit should not become just as pop
ular as the chicken. Statistics show
us that chickens is 30 per cent bone,
while a rabbit is only 14 per cent. As
1 have stated before, they far out-class
any other kind of meat in digestible
nutriment. At present those who
have any to sell for meat purposes
are getting from 25 to 35 cents per
pound, dressed.
Belgian Hares, New Zealand Reds
and Flemish Giants are the strains
mostly raised in this section of the
country and they meet all the require
ments of a table delicacy. Their
equal in tenderness, juiciness and
delicacy of flavor can not be found.
The meat is all white like the breast
of a chicken, but is not as dry.
Fast Increase.
As to what can be raised from a
start of two does antl one buck, the
following might be of interest to any
one contemplating starting in the rab
bit game. Each doe will have from
four to five litters a year and will
raise an average of 25. This makes 50
from your two does. The first litter
will have at least three does, which
will be old enough to breed at eight
months, and in turn, their young will
be old enough to raise you a litter
before the year is out, so that it is
possible for you to raise over 100 rab
Mts the first year from a start of
three. They will average according to
strain from eight to 15 pounds; this
makes a wonderful showing in meat
production. No other meat animal
comes anywhere near it. With the
above facts staring us in the face is
it any wonder that our government
asks us to take up the raising of
rabbits?
SWEDISH SHIPS

London, March, 16. A number of
large Swedish trawlers and one of the

solution which is applied to eggs during incubation; it soaki into
tin- slidl and supplies oxygen tor the crowing chick; absorbs the

making it more porous and brittle.

Cio.e the pons of the shell and the chick quickly dies. Partially dose them and the

w in-re the chick is too weak to break out of the tough shell.
IT.O-O HATCH changes all this by keeping the shell pores open;

quickly absorbing and getting rid of the carbon dioxide.

and the call is "Own Your Home"
Probably one-half the adult population
of Omaha was born in the country.
A healthy man of rural birth rarely
takes kindly to confinement.
For this reason there is a latent desire
widely prevalent to "Own a Home"
in the Suburbs of this city. This de
sire is particularly urgent in the
spring.
In choosing a location for a permanent
suburban home or summer residence
accessibility to business and social
privileges should be well considered.
Omaha is rich in choice suburban areas.
Advertisements of good property in
all of Omaha's suburbs will be found
in The Bee's Classified Columns. Look

Your Government Wants
You to Save Meat and
Produce More Meat
I tie
Rabbit
as a source of meat, enables anyone to
produce more meat at a minimum cost
of labor and production. The workman
with a dry goods box and using the
scraps from his table and garden can
produce extra quality of meat for his
family. This involves no expenditure of
"cash" money except cost of breeding
stock.
Due to its very low cost of production
the rabbit for years has been the chief
source of domestic meat supply in Eu
rope. Five hundred thousand pounds
of dressed rabbit passed thru the Port
Ostend to England each week, pior to
the war.
The Belgian Hare attains a weight
of eight pounds at maturity; the New
Zealand nine pounds and the Flemish
Giant 12 to 15 pounds. The meat and
breeding is equally as good from one
breed as the other.
The Rabbit fur is used in the manu
facture of various garments, such as fur
collars, coats, muffs, dress trimmings
and for lining aviators' helmets. Rabbit
fur is sold under many names, such as
Near Seal, Sealine, Erminette, etc. All
Stetson hats are made from the best rab
bit furs. Furriers are now paying 25 to
50 cents for green hides. ,
To aid the Government and assist in
promoting the production 'of meat

Breeders Association
