Belgian harses breed in thirty days
after mating, the little numbering from
five to twelve. In six months they are
matured. The young should be left with
the mother for thirty days and then,
she can be bred again. When the
young begin to eat, feed them tender
vegetables, cut up in small pieces,
rolled oats and milk.

Once there was a young fellow named
Edward who could make Dollar go
as far as the next one. He wore Hand
me-Downs that looked as if they had
been made by a Swell Tailor. He kept
his Trousers on Hangers and took such
good care of his Wardrobe that Suit
would last him from to Years. He
shaved himself and blacked his own
Shoes and borrowed a Paper to read.
So that although his Salary didn't
make him round -shouldered taking it
Home, he was enabled to soak a couple
of the Green Kind each Month and
was contemplating Marimony.
Edward estimated that two of them
could get along comfortably on his Pay
without cracking the Nest Egg. In
Fact, he had it all figured out. The
House Rent would be so much and the
Groceries would stand him something,
and then he allowed 5000 a year for
Clothing. He knew that he could worry
along on half of that Amount and he
had heard that Dresses were cheaper
than Suits of Clothes,
One Evening, just about the time
when he was waiting for Chance to
nab the Girl, he was at the House
with other Callers, among them sew
eral Women.
They were asking the Real Thing
about some Finery she had just pur-
chased. She said she knew it must be
an awful Bore to Men. but she sup
posed she would have to show it. So
she went upstairs and came back with
enough Merchandise to fill one of
Wanamaker's Windows.
The Women Callers went into Con-
vulsions and the Men looked at it SOL
emnly and said "Yes, it's Purity"
"Ain't that a Dream?" asked the
Real Thing. holding up a Picture Hat.

How much did your Tailor Made set

"Only 15O." replied the Real Thing.

Caller

from her own breast. At the end of
thirty days, the young will be pro-
duced, and at this time great care
must be exercised not to frighten the
mother. For a day or two, do not clean
out the hutch, or disturb the breeding
box, as this may cause the mother to
abandon her young and the litter be
lost. The young should not be han

The first question arising in the read
er's mind is how breeding Belgian
hares will pay. AS meat producer, it
stands at the head of all domestic an
imals, both in quality and quantity.
Twenty per year is a conservative es-
innate of what single doe will pro-
duce. The progeny of a single pair,
if allowed to multiply without inter-
ference, would amount, in two years,
to over 1900.
A physician in California purchased
a pair of Belgian hares as a gift for
his son, who sold the offspring and
the business grew so rapidly that in

moNEY-MAkING BELGIAN HAREs.
The Best skins Need No Dying and
Are the COney Fur of Commerce.


New York, Jan. 3.-Women have
been particularly successful in the Bel
gian hare industry. and there is moth
ing connected with the work that a
woman cannot perform. AS the pop
ulation of our cities increases, the de-
disastrously for the poor. At just this
point comes the Belgian hare, supply
ing a want felt by millions for a deli
cious, wholesome meat, which can be
supplied profitably by the producer so
that the consumer may secure it at
moderate price.
The Belgian hare is a most beautiful
and graceful animal. with thick. soft,
golden tan fur, and great hazel eyes.
making most fascinating pets. 1t is
scrupulously clean and of wonderful
intelligence and gentleness.
At the present time, the demand for
Belgians, by those who desire to breed
them, is so great that about all the
stock raised can be sold to neighbors
or people reached through a small adj
vertisement in a local newspaper. The
meat of the Belgian hare is delicious
and devoid of grease, and is not heat
ing to the blood: on this account it is
the best meat for children, while the
broth is invaluable for invalids and
must be tried to be appreciated. The
bones are small and weigh but a few
ounces so there is little or no waste
when bought by the pound, and, as for
pot pie, no other meat can compare
with Belgian hare. The size is also in
it's favor as a family cannot readily
consume or care for the meat of a
large animal, but the hare can be
served fresh, the three to five pounds
just meeting the demands of the aver
age family.
The Belgian hare may be raised at
It very moderate expense. Al, ordinary
dry goods box, say three feet long, two
feet wide and two feet deep, answers
for a hutch. Remove the cover, turn
ing the box on it's side, making the
top the front of the hutch. Cover this
with one inch mesh poultry netting
arranging a hinged door at one end,
one foot wide and extending from top
to bottom, fastening with a hook. The
hutch can be kept anywhere. in
barn, back yard, wood shed; and if
cleaned daily. and the bottom covered
with saw dust or hay, there will be
no odor. It's fur is always clean and
it carefully avoids all but the clean
est food.
If the hutch is kept in the open yard,
ventilators should be arranged in the
sides at the top, and the cover hinged
to open and close or to slide up and
down in grooves, so as to act as a
storm door for severe weather and
keep the hares warm, as they require
simply shelter and plenty of
straw in the coldest weather,
without artificial heat. Keep
the stock free from winds and damp
ness.
Belgian hares eat almost anything
and should be fed regularly at about
the same hour, twice a day, night and
morning. They thrive on grass, clip
pings from the lawn, weeds, branches
