About three years ago there sprung up
in the West new industry. the raising
of Belgian hares for their meat and fur.
This industry had its birth in Denver. Col.
From Denver it soon spread to Los An
geles. CAL; Kansas City, Mo-; Minneapo-
lis, Hiun.; Chicago, ILL.,; st. Louis, New
York, and Boston, in the order named.
These cities are only the centres of the
surrounding country, and there is now
hardly county in many Of the States
west of the Mississippi River that has not
from one to one hundred breeders of Bel
gian hares. The number of rabbitries in
Kansas City last spring was over six
hundred. and 1t is said that there are
over two thousand in Los Angeles.
The Belgian hare is an animal that
originated as its name implies, in Bel
GUM, but it's advancement and improve
ment are the result of the efforts of the
English breeders of poultry and pet stock,
who took up the culture of hares about
1850. The industry has reached such pro-
portions in England and Scotland that
from fifteen to twenty shows are held in
those countries every month.
The popularity of the Belgian hare Is
due primarily to the value of its meat,
Bile the year round BY many it is pre-
ferred to chicken. turkey. or Quail; and
everyone who has tasted dish OF nicely
cooked Belgian" admits that it is the
equal of any OF the finest meats. The
caterers of London import ,000.00 pounds
every year, and Paris consumes 10,000.000.
This family of the hare has been bred
in captivity SO long that it thrives better
in small quarters than IL given more
room. hutch two feet high, two feet
wide, and three feet long is sufficient for
a breeding doc. They eat very little food,
an adult hare requiring but onehalf pint
of oats and a small handful of clover,
alfalfa or pea-vine hay per day. Their
fecundty. and the small expense neces
sary for their feeding make them an ex-
cellent investment. and even when raised
for their meat alone, the profits are very
great. In the Denver and Los Angeles
markets they sell for II 1-2 cents per
pound at wholesale. and in cities where
they are not so plentiful they bring more
than that. In many localities the demand
for breeding stock is so great that it is
yet impossible to procure their meat for
the table.
There are two classes of hares. as in
every other line of fine stock: To-wit,
the meat strain and the fancy. Breeders
of the former can be purchased at 80 to. .
$40 per pair, while the fancy, or exhibi

tion specimens, bring as much as $50 to
$500 apiece. There is, in the West. an
animal for which New York enthusiast
offered the sum of 81 $50. This animal,
young buck. is a very fine one, a prize
winner in hot competition, and the offer
was refused. One OF the most noted
bucks in this country was imported from
England last spring. the purchase price
being $500. A doe that was imported at
the same time was entered in a large
Western show captured first prize in her
class, that of international championship,
and an offer of $3.50 was refused by her
owners. A domestic doe brought 1910,
and there are many hares in California,
Colorado, and Missouri that have been
bought at cost of from SIS to $500
each.
Until the past summer the industry has
been confined chiefly to the Western
States, but in the last three months the
people Of New England have awakened to
the Importance of this little animal and
the Belgian hare is now attracting much
interest in that portion of the country.
Up to the beginning of 1900 the best an
imals came from England, but, as in ev-
erything else, the genius of the American
has outstrippe6 that of our European
cousins, and as result of careful and
scientific matings prominent judges say
that the American bred animals Will out
class the imported specimens in the shows
to be held this season. The reason for
this is that as soon as an animal made a
record in England 1t was Immediately
bought by an American fancier, one who
did not care for the cost and the result
is that We now own practically all OF Eng
lands prize stock of the last few years.
1t is from this and it's progeny that the
American show stock is being bred, while
England's prize animals of 10000 will be
largely produced from the second honors
stock of former years.
Interest is beginning to pick up in the
Southeastern States. and It is believed
that the people will soon awaken to the
magnitude of the profits to be realized
from a small capital invested in this won
derful meat producer.
While its habits are those Of the rabbit.
in size and shape the Belgian resembles
the English hare. In this respect 1t is
also somewhat like the jaek-rabbit of our
Western plains. Its color is beautiful
rufus red. after that of the wild rabbit OF
Belgium, from which it has been devel-
oped Much careful and intelligent at
tention is bestowed in breeding to points,
and very gratifying response Is given
Out of the punched up and not over at
tractive appearance it once had, the Bel
gian has been developed into an animal Of
graceful outlines. shapely proportions, and
great richness of coloring-

supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local

that the last week or TWO of the year

The causes which underlie the present
wild advance in prices are of the best
and most substantial character. 1t can
not be asserted with any show of reason
that the boom is an inflated one, or that
prices are now too high and will newt
ably decline long way and not recover.
Such a great advance has been foreseen
by the more careful financial people ior
several months. These people do not be-
lieye that the top prices have been reach
ed yet by many points-the top prices for
the winter, that is In brief, the differ
ent items in the remarkably satisfactory
condition of the country (from the finan-
cial point of view may be summarized
as follows: Wall Street, including the en-
tire speculative world in the term, is
confident that there will be little or no
financial legislation to disturb the situa-
tion for two or three years at least.
Money is more plentiful than at any time
before in the history of the country.
Rates are cheap an promise to be cheap
er than at any time before during the
coming months Railway earnings are at
the top notch, larger by millions of dol
lars than they were in the phenomenal
year 1899. As a consequence many new
railway securities are being put on the
dividend list that have not had dividends
for years past, and other dividend payers
are having their dividends increased.
Dividends now are worth more, with ,he
present low money rates, than they were
ten and twenty years ago at previous
high price periods in the market The
domestic and foreign trade of the coun-
try is at the top notch, and especially in
its exports have great strides been made
in recent months. Prices of commoditiss
are high and the industrial companies are
making big earnings.
