this very night.
Abbott could not take his fill OF the
sight OF Simon jefferson whom he had
fancied not far away, eyes glued on
cork, hands in pockets to escape mos

He had supposed the horse grazing
near by, enjoying semi-freedom with
his grass. Now it seemed far other
wise. Miss Sapphire had even had
him telephone Bob to bring her hither.
With his own hands he had dug his
pitfall.

Belgian Hare.
CRv DAVID E. I.ANrz !

(By DAVID f. LANTZ)
The fact that rabbits are easily
grown and are a cheap and excellent
substitute for the ordinary meats is
likely to turn the attention of many
persons to rearing the animals. That
they can be propagated without costly
investment in land and buildings is a
peculiar advantage. Further the
presence on the farm of another ami
NAL which, like poultry, may be killed
and prepared for the table entire and
at short notice, is exceedingly desir-
able All these circumstances make it
extremely probable that the business
of rearing rabbits will grow in i'm
portance.
The Belgian hare is one of the best
rabbits for table use. 1t weighs more
than most breeds, develops very rap
Idly and the quality of the meat is
superior to all the others. The Elem.
ish giant is Belgian hare bred ex-
clusively for large size, but with the
result that the meat is coarser and
less delicate in flavor. These charac-
teristics are regarded by some per-
sons as desirable, but this is largely a
matter of individual taste. Most peo-
pie would prefer the white, finer
grained flesh of the original Belgian
hare. 1t should be remarked, how
ever, that much of the excellence of
the rabbit as food depends upon it's
cooking. AS often prepared, it is dry
and insipid; while in the hands of an
experienced cook it becomes all that
the most fastidious taste can wish.
An especial requirement in cooking
the Belgian hare is that none of the
natural juices of the meat be lost in
the process.
The Belgian hare does not do we'll

common English rabbit is better for
this purpose. A good many Belgians

western coast there have been some
complaints of damage to crops by wild
Belgian hares. AS a rule, however,
and fortunately for the farmer, these
animals, when obliged to shift for
themselves, fall an easy prey to their
enemies and disappear within a few
months.
Belgian hares may be successfully
managed in two ways: ID Entirely
in hutches, or (2) in outdoor fenced
runs, or courts, with hutches for does
when having young, and sleeping
hutches for other stock. The hutch
system with various notifications is
the more common, and is the only
method adopted by rabbit fanciers
who raise for show. The use of small
runs or rabbit courts to give the ami
mails healthful exercise in fine wealth
er IL of advantage.
Tie rabbitry may occupy part or all
of barn or shed, or be built in a
sheltered space in the angle between
buildings or walls. The indoor rab-
bitry has decided advantages. The
place should be well ventilated, but
not subject to draughts of cold or
damp air. These may be prevented by
ventilators in the roof, or by system
of elbowed pipes passing through the
sides of the building and reaching a
height of 2 or feet above the open
ings.
Hutches for the Belgian hare should
be somewhat larger than those in
tended for smaller breeds. They
should be built of good lumber, should
have tight floors, and should have at
least II square feet of floor space and
a height of feet If there is plenty
of room in the rabbitry it is best to
have the hutches separate; but they
are usually set in tiers or stacks, two
or three in height. Each hutch in the
rank is complete in itself, so that its
position may be shifted at any time.
A rabbit court may be paved or
fioored, or it may be grass court sur.
rounded by rabbit-prcof fence.
Sleeping hutches inside the court may
be small boxes of any sort If they are
stout and waterproof. They should
have sliding doors to confine the rab-
bits if desired, and should also have
small holes near the top for ventila-
ton. If court is used hutches will
still be needed for breeding does
A rabbit-proof fence to inclose a
grass court should be made of heavy
poultry netting or feet wire and of
1k-inch mesh The posts, projecting
or 4 feet above the ground should
be we'll set outside the edge of the
court. The netting is stapled to the
posts, leaving projection of 6 inches

Plan New Bridge On Severn.

With a view to securing an appro-
priation from Congress toward the
construction OF modern concrete
bridge across the Severn river, Chair
man Weller, Engineer Shirley and
Secretary William L. Marcy, of the
State Roads Commission, held a con-
ference with Superintendent Gibbons,
Of the Naval Academy The idea is
to remove the county bridge and the
bridge of the Maryland Electric Rail-
ways and erect in their stead a con-
crete span for the accommodation of
railway and vehicle traffic, with foot
paths for pedestrians. Federal aid is
sought in the project, as the present
county bridge is contiguous to Federal
property and the county road passes
through and around a good stretch Of
the Government reservation. Accord
ing to the plans the State, county and
railway company will each bear por-
ton of the cost of the proposed bridge
and with an appropriation from the
Federal Government the expense to
all parties concerned would be great

FRESH VEGETABLES
MAY BE OBTAINED
Eastern Writer Makes Sugges-
ton That Is Worthy of Some
Consideration.

The time was when it was Gus
tomary to see the small farmer and
truck raiser going about the streets
from house to house with his pro-
duce. The trip to town was an i'm
portant part of each days round,
which was made as regularly as the
sun, usually at just such an hour ev-
cry day. The farmer had his friends
and patrons in town, who knew the
worth and quality of his produce, and
who were wise enough and fortunate
enough to make arrangements with
him to bring it to them, fresh from
the fields, daily
But nowadays, for one reason or
another, this particular activity on
the part of the farmer has fallen
away wonderfully. In its stead has
come, to a large extent the cry and
the push-cart of the "hawker," a spe-
cies of ;niddleman who must look to
this occupation alone for his profits.
and who is usually not so much con-
cerned to supply a friend with the
best to be had as he is to do a good
business. and that is but natural.
One cannot but infer that this
change must be more or less to the
disadvantage of the customer. He is
the loser in the main by this new or
der of things, though the farmer is
probably somewhat in the same posi-
ton too Why does he not come to
than one cause contributes to this re-
suit. He is farming on a larger and
more extensive scale than he used to.
and has found ready market for all
that he can produce in the modern
middleman, who is ready to take off
his hands all that he has for sale.
He is no longer under the necessity
of going in search of purchasers of
his wares. The self constituted agent
of the public comes to him volunta-
rily and bargains with him for what
he has. and usually pays him fair
price, too.
But a writer in an eastern daily
publication makes suggestion which
is we'll worth considering by any who
would welcome an approach to the
old order of marketing. 1t Is this:
These are the days of the automobile
and pleasure riding Almost every
one. in these times, high or low, man
ages to get possession of one, by one
means or another But instead of go
ing aimlessly hither and yon for the
pleasure of riding merely, why not
have an objective point in view, some
farmhouse in the country. and the
purchase of generous supply of
fresh vegetables and produce one pur-
nose and object of the outing? Quite
n quantity could easily be carried
home thus, and the pleasures of the
trim extended for several days by the
better quality of food and relishes up
on the table.
If the farmer will not, or cannot,
find time any more to come to the
CITY then get out the auto and go
after him! Strike his trail as the
hunters do when they go out with
their hounds after the fox, and run
him to earth. And when the run is
over and the return is made, |, for
one. would ten times rather have a
bag of fresh vegetables than have a
bag of a poor, butchered fox.
