him for a prize. He was fit for the

him OUT rearing in play. his eyes

so that all. might have last look
at him. His arched neck and slim
barrel glowed like satin as the sun

hoofs playing at the halter's end. He
hated Il harness, and once in it lost
half his conceit But he was vaines

and discouraging. 1t is for this reason
that many breeders who have become
disgusted at the almost utter lack OF
a market for their hares are secretly,
and in some instances openly. turning
them loose to forage on the country III
order to avoid the expense of feeding
them.
The menace in this condition of af-
fairs will perhaps be understood bet
ter when it is stated that there are
probab lv more than 100000 hares in
this state at present. The Belgian hare
industry in this region has been re-
markable for its wonderful growth
and the number Of people who have en-
gagged in it, and for the startling
fecundi1y shown 10y the hare in this
climate The alluring places obtained
for breeding stock by those who were
early in the business tempted thou
sands to start rabbitries who lacked
the proper means to care for the stock,
and in many instances had no idea of
the cost or labor involved.
For months prices were readily paid
that were out Of all reason. The bust
ness assumed gigantic proportions dur
| ing the last few months OF 1899 and the
| first few months of the present year.
| In February mammoth exposition
of rabbits was held here a which thou

was attended by fanciers from every
part Of the country. AT this exposition
it is said that 1925 was paid for 81 gle

high ae $3.50 has been paid in this city
Los Angeles became the recognized
center of the rabbit industry and or
ders were filed from every part Of the
United States for fine specimens fol
breeding purposes.
But the great majority of breeders
were raising their stock for marke1
purposes relying on the statements o.
glib ongued dealers that the cost o.
raising the hare to market size wa:
trihing compared with the immense
profits that would accrue. But cpl
cures did not take kindly to the har,
as food. Some of the hotels used Il
make feature of a Belgian hare par
