The propagation of Belgian mares,
which IS an extensive and prosperous in
dustry IN California and Colorado, and is
extending East and South, has been I'M
dertaken by our townsman Mr.. 3. G..
Washington and his son James. They
have stock of thoroughbred registered
does, handsome specimens. sent them by
members of Mr.. Washington's family
residing in Trinidad, Colorado. them
selves engaged in Belgian hare raising.
The Ultimate purpose of Belgian hare
raising is for the meat, which is white
and of fine quality and flavor, and brings
a fancy price in the markets. But the
industry is as yet to a large extent a fad,
and handsome male specimens of pure
bred registered prize-winning stock COM
mand ready sale to faneiers at prices
anywhere from $a5 to @Ioo for single
buck-one being even known to sell for
$1,000. Pretty high flying. The supply
of fine specimens is not equal to the de-
Iuand. This climate is said to be well
suited to them.
We had the pleasure of inspecting the
rabitry and hutches, which are construct
ed after approved plans, and have nc
doubt the enterprise will develop into a
successful back yard industry.
There is a most readable article in the
February number of the Puritan Maya
zine. entitled IA BACKYARD Industry. >
giving the history of the Belgian hare.

OF woman can read it without being the

which is never yet obtruded upon the
reader. There are many stories told in

full manner. Mr. Gard is man whose
keen observation and retentive memory
have supplied him with an abundance of
material for the making of story which
has been compared by New York critics
favorably with David Harum and Rich
ard Carvel-books which sold in thehun-
dreds of thousand copies. Prediction has
been made that this work will sell equally
as we'll as the two mentioned above. The
writer can truthfully. say that writing of
this kind, with its fine culture. its incisive
criticism, its polished style, and its guild
