The Belgian Hare.

The Belgian Hare no doubt originally
came from Belgium, but to England we
are chiefly indebted for the cultivation
and development of the beautiful stock
that is fast finding its way to the hearts
of the American people, The belgian
has been bred in England for twenty
years or more, but 1t is scarcely five
years since the first of those rabbits
were brought to this country. In that
time the Belgian Hare industry has
had phenomenal growth, u growth
that bids fair to go on increasing for
years to come as the merits of The ami
NAL are understood.
The Belgian Hare is raised for two
purposes, for show and for meat. There
is about as much difference between
the show animal and tho meat product
animals as between fine boned trim
race horse and the clumsy limbed Nor
man or between perfect specimen of
| the Jersey COW and the heavy framed
meaty Durhams.
| There are a great many ways of con-
| filming the rabbits. For breeding pur-
posts run or hutch & feet long by 2
feet and two feet high answers every
purpose. 1t should be made of inch
wire mesh, with door at one side for
cleaning and one at top for feeding.
Young sto * should have larger runs,
at least eight or ten feet long and two
or three feet wide for exercise. The
hutches must be we'll shielded from
cats and dogs. Each hutch should be
provided with nest box 24x14x16 in.
ches. A cracker box turned bottom
side up with notch seven inches
square sawed out of the turned down
edge for passsgeway will do very well
These nest boxes are necessary for the
hutches in which the breeding does arc
confined. The young stock and bucks
can do without them, if provided with
nests OF straw in one corner of the
hutch. The top of the hutch should
be hinged to enable the breeder to ex.
anime the nests occasionally without
disturbing the inma. es. The hutches
should be provided with shallow feed
ing troughs of wood, tin or earthen
ware. a hay rack of wire should BIZ
attached to the side OF the hutch to pre-
vent the animals from running owe
their feed. An earthenware drinking
dish completes the furnishing of thu
hutch. If the hutches have grount
floors they must be covered with incl
wire mesh to prevent the rabbit from

kept clean to insure the health of tn,
rabbit.
The Belgian Hare will eat almos
anything, rolled barley, oats and whea
are occasionally the best grains to feed
A small handful night and morning i
sufficient for mature animal. Fo
coarse feed, alfalfa or clover hay is ex
celient.
They are very fond of green fect
from the garden, lettuce, cabbage
malva weeds, tilaree, grapevine shoots
all of which can be given in Unite,
quantities. A feed of carrots once da,
will help to keep the Belgian in
healthy condition.
