PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD

Some people have q tendency. to be-
come thin-blooded just as others have an
inherited tendency to rheumatism, or TO
nervous disorders. The condition IN
which the blood becomes so thin that the
whole body suffers comes on 80 gradually
and stealthily that anyone with natural
disposition In that direction should watch
the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness,
or anemia, as the medical term is, can
be corrected much more easily in the
earlier stages than later. 1t begins with
a tired feeling that rest does not over.

breathlessness on slight exertion, such as
going up stairs, is noticed.

the treatment of diseases caused by thin

food these blood-making pills afford the
correct treatment when the symptoms
described are noticed. A former sufferer

rabbits may Ike kept in pens in barn
or shed
Rabbits need plenty of green food dur
ing the winter, such as cabbage, KATE,
spinach, and rare leaves, as well as tur-
nips, beets, and mangels. Sweet, we'll
cured hay is also good. Parsnips consti-
tute a fine spring food. Crushed oats
with a little cornmeal and barley for
variety compose the grain ration. DO
not gorge the rabbits. Feed only as
much grain and green stuff as the ami
mails will clean up with relish. Water
should be constantly available. During
the summer, garden truck, wild parsley,
dandelion, plantain, and dock are rel
ished by the rabbits.
Seven or eight young per doe is the
average litter. The youngsters may be
weaned when one month old. At the age
Of four months a separation OF the sexes
is necessary. Market rabbits are Killed
by dislocating their necks and immedi-
ately severing the jugular veins with
sharp knife. The animals, when dressed,
should be packed in hampers, allowing
circulation of air around the carcasses.
If possible strive to develop direct
trade with the consumer, thus eliminat-
ing the middleman's profit. Uniform Bel
gian hare skins are worth about. two
cents apiece. They are dyed and sold
as imitation furs, or else they are ut-
lzed in the manufacture OF felts and
other cloths.

Now, there are several ways to get wa

a hydraulic ram, which is inexpensive
to operate and win elevate water thirty
feet for every foot of fall and is capable
of supplying 800 gallons Of water IN
twenty four hours to a tank fifty feet
above the ram. Where the fall is SIX
feet and the power supply that is, the
water in the pipe running to the ram
is twenty gallons per minute, it Will
cost about $50, exclusive of pipe and
work. On the other hand, there may
be driven well on the place, when
water may be pumped to reservoir
by a gasolene engine, or windmill used,
costing about Sl50 to Sl75 for a ten-foot

Drainage Overlooked.
Drainage, where the frost goes deep
into the gronud, is quite frequently over

or more feet below the road surface on
each side of a roadbed at the foot OF the
grade and parallel to it. If properly laid

tightly the roads will not heaye and be-
come impossible. Moreover, they VIII

drains on the sides are kept clear.

RABBIT RAISING FOR THE SUB.
URBANITE
BY GEORGE H. DAcY

As high as twenty cents per pound
dressed weight is paid for rabbit flesh.
Ordinarily in England the average price
of market rabbits is about twelve cents
per pound. The keen demand makes
rabbit. raising in that country about as
profitable as poultry-raising. Similarly
there is q good chance in America for
the owner of several acres to realize
an attractive income from small rab-
bitry.
Demonstrated rabbits that are well
managed will be ready for market
weighing about five pounds when IL
weeks old. 1t is more profitable to mar
ket the animals at this time than to
keep them until they are mature. As a
food product the Belgian hare IS the
leading variety of rabbit. Sizeable rab-
bits OF good, hardy stock should be used
in the breeding operations. Hardy ami
mails exhibiting good quality and char
acters cost from 81 to 50 apiece. AMI
mails about one year old are dependable
in the breeding pen. Do not purchase
lstless- looking, pot-bellied, coarse
elawed and rough.coated rabbits.
About Belgian Hares.
Belgian hares thrive under conditions
of slight confinement. Fenced runs with
ready access to sleeping hutches or
boxes make fine quarters for the stock
The hutches should be portable. Dur
