ABOUT BELGIAN HARES.
breeding of This Animal ~ nm In d -.
try Began, 1t Ia Now Claimed,
Ten Years Ago.

In answer to number Of inquiries
in regard to the Belgian hare, we
find. upon investigation, that the
breeding of this animal in this coun-
try as an industry began about ten
years ago. The breeders are natural
ly enthusiastic and possibly are too
optimistic in their view of the future
of this constantly enlarging business.
1t is claimed by them that no other
line of breeding offers anything like
the profits that the breeding of the
Belgian hare does. Both the meat
and the hide are valuable The cost
of producing the meat, it is claimed,
is not over five cents a pound at the
most, and we have been informed by
breeders in the vicinity Of Denver.
Col, that the meat in that market
sells from Is to % cents a pound.
The meat of a young Belgian hare is
highly eNtolled by those who are ac-
quainted with its quality, and all such
unite in saying that as toothsoma
article of diet it cannot be eNcelled
by any meat that comes to our tables.
The hare is exceedingly prolific, the
doe sometimes producing IS to so
young hares in the course of the
year. and does begin to breed at the
age of six months.
The food is that which is common
~ eaten by sheep, and should be a
variety which can readily be provid-
ed from oats. clover, roots. bread and
milk, etc. All the shelter that is
needed is an open shed that will
always be dry and must be clean.
Cleanliness in the hutch must be
maintained. Three by four or five
feet is large enough for hutch. The
nesting box, which must be provided
for each breeding doe. should be three
feet long and two feet in width and
height. A portion of the cage should
be covered with wire netting. Cover
the bottom with fine straw. 4 litter
is from six to dozen When about
two months old the young are weaned
and the sexes separated. The weight
of Belgian. if pure bred, at ma
turity is from eight to ten pounds

Shipment of Dressed Fowls.

1t is a common saying that the mar
ket is never overstocked with the best,
and this is probably correct Whenever
the market is over-st ocked it begins a
the poorest quality to reject. If the
market does not reject the low quality,
it at once reduces the price I o point
below cost of production and market
ing. Therefore the only people that
stand a chance of making money are
those that send to market good prod
ucts in good shape. In a way markets
are always over-stocked. except in
times of special scarcity. But the mar
ket is never over-stocked with choice
fowls. Great loss to the producers re-
suits from the manner in which
fowls are dressed and shipped to mar
ket. One man says that the quantity of
fowls daily dressed and sent to market
in an unstable condition is enormous.
