Young Rabbits a good substitute for
chicken and can be prepared in various
similar ways if done by sAillful hands.
The flesh. is mostly clean and similar

same fault as chicken IL served too
frequently. 1t satiates more quickly
than most other meats.
The fact that the meat Of the young
rabbit compares so fayorably with
chicken has led to its being employed
very frequently in preparations where

Rabbits are best served in some
manner which calls for extra fat, such
as bacon or salt pork. plenty Of butter

boiled rice to supply the deficiency Of
carbohydrates. Many are the modes of
preparing the rabbit, and they may be
served in almost every variety Of form

BRICK TRACK ROADS.
Bureau of Public Road Inquiry CLAIMS
Important Advantages for
That System.

The director of the bureau Of public
road inquiry under the department Of
agriculture, after an exhaustive stud
Of the subject, has come out strongly
in favor Of the "brick track" road. II
Is estimated that the roads cost the
people Of this country about $3.50. 900, 900
annually, a good part of which ia sunk
In mud roads with very poor results.
The advantages claimed for the brick
track road are as follows: It can be
built far more cheaply than a stone
road; four or five times as heavy a load
can be hauled on It with the same team
force; they can be maintained for about
one-tenth Of the expense for repairs;
they prevent the formation Of ruts, dust
and mud, which result from the grind
ing Of wagon wheels on stone roads, and
Of mud holes and dust, which occur on
country roads; the material for their
construction Is also much more easily
accessible in most parts Of the country
than that for stone roads. The require
ments for q drst-class highway are as
follows: A smooth, non-wearing sur
face for wheels. a firm, non-slipping
footing for horses; low cost for building
and repairs; and absence OF dust, mud
and noise. II viii be seen that the brick
track road comes nearer fulfilling these
requirements than anything yet In
vented.
