GERMANY ENCOURAGES
 RAISING OF RABBITS

BERLIN, May A. - The Prussian ministry of agriculture, domains and forests has isued an appeal to all the agricultural associations and organi- cations in Sigmaringen. urging that special attention be paid in the com ing months to the breeding Of tame rabbits. in order that as many skins as possible may be obtained for lea ther purposes, and that the fat of the little animals may be obtained.
 Already in Berlin there has been es- tablished a Company for Making Use of Skins, Inc.." to which anyone may send his bunny skins. The desfr- ability of raising the animals in num- bers is enhanced by the fact that they require little or no food that hu- man beings need, and yet can in part be fed with scraps that otherwise would go to waste.
 The appeal says that oils and fats obtained from rabbits are already very scarce. probably win become more so. and will probably be short for period long after the war.
