RAISE RABBITS
TO INCREASEFOOD

Washington, D. C.-Rabbits, which
have proved a valuable source of food
in Europe during the present war,
may well be raised more extensively
in America by way of reducing the
drain on the ordinary meat supply,
according to biologists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The business of growing rabbits, the
specialists point out, can be carried
on by youths and adults not en-
gagged in military or other national
service, or in regular industrial en-
ployment. The animals may be
raised in back yards of cities and
towns as well as on farms.i
The Belgian hare, says a state
ment by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. breeds rapidly,
natures quickly, and produces a pa
latable and highly nutritious meat.
The cost of production is less than
that of any other meat, not excepting
poultry, The supply can be greatly
increased within a few months, with
out requiring space that may be
needed for the production of crops.
Practical experience has demonstrat-
ed that rabbit meat can be produced
in unlimited quantities at a cost of
about six cents a pound; and by
utilizing lawn cuttings and other
vegetables that would otherwise be
wasted, the cost can be made even
lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant
rabbits are recommended for meat
production, as the ordinary tame rab-
bit is smaller and develops moro
slowly. Stock of Belgian hares may
be bought from breeders in nearly
all the states at 81 to IS each. They
may occasionally be had from pet
stock dealers. Fancy pedigreed stock
is not required for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation Of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when
eight or ten months old, and during
the year should raise four litters of
about six young each. Well fed, the
young reach marketable size when
three or four months old and aver
age from five to six pounds 1.-Two
weight.
The department of agriculture has
published a bulletin on raising rab-
bits which will be helpful to those
who wish to engage in this pursuit

WHEAT TRADE
Still Light

Chicago, Ill, July Is. Wheat:
There was very little trade in wheat
Until government regulations become
known after the passage of the food
bill, operations in the wheat market
will be very limited.
Corn: After a steady opening
pressure on corn Increased and there
was a sharp reaction. The buying
demand appears to have fallen down
materially and outside buying has
been light while there has been infiu-
entail commission house selling. Re-
ceipts are moderate and the cash mar
ket remains relatively frm. On the
ether hand, crop reports are more fa-
vorable with further rains in the
southwest. The crop is still late but
in most sections Is making good
progress. The situation is puzzling
and irregular markets are to be ex-
pected.
Oats: Oats turned weak after show
ing early strength. Cash demand is
fair and supplies are moderate, but
the approaching harvest of one of the
biggest crops ever raised is casting
its shadow over the market.
Provisions: The tone to the provi-
sion market has been heavy with
pressure mainly on lard. Hogs re-
ceipts are fairly liberal and there is
moderate cash trade which limits the
demand for products. 1'

On Thirty-fith Hole-Windy City
Man Shows Good Work.

Midlothian Country Club, Blue
Island, Ill, July 16.-Francis Ouimet
of the Woodland club, near Boston,
became western amateur golf
champion at Midlothian Country club
Saturday when he defeated Kenneth
Edwards of the home club, one up,
in a spectacular match which carried
Its gallery with absorbing interest
to the final green.
1t was regarded as erratic playing,
as golf is usually judged. There
were brilliant shots interspersed
with missed puts, which players of
this ca1iber ordinarily would make.
The brilliancy and its opposite were
about equally divided. The real
highlights were furnished by the
number of notably sensational ap-
proach shots.
The match was won by Ouimet on
the thirty-fif hole, when Edwards,
who had worked from behind to even
terms with the former champion,
missed six foot putt and lost the
hole. The thirty sixth hole was
halved, leaving Ouimet one up.

DARCY'S MEMORY
HONoRED BY
AUSTRALIANS.

The recent sudden and sad
death of Les Darcy was a shock
to all in Australia and general
regret at this sudden termina-

career was expressed in the land

Two nights after the news was
flashed across the Pacific con-
test was held at the sydney sta
dunn between Jimmy Clabby

the announcement of operations
the announcer asked those
present to stand for a. second
with bowed heads as token of
sympathy to, the bereaved ones
at his home. This was carried
out in complete silence.
A movement is on foot to, raise.
a suitable monument to this

Sam Crawford.

Detroit, Mich, July 16.-(Special0
Sam Crawford, now in his nine
teenth season in the big leagues, and
with the exception of Hans Wagner,
the oldest player in the big show, is
grievinS as the days go by. His grief
is not due to the fact that he is
literally and figuratively on his last
legs, and is also mtatly on the bench
for Detroit, but because he sees his
ambition to make 5000 hits in fast
company slipping beyond his attain
ment.
Sam says that many years ago
5000 hits became an obsession with
him, and he has counted his totals
from year to year. He yearns to be
in the class with Hans Wagner,
Larry Lajoie andS Captain Adrian C.
Anson, the only men who have at
tained that mark, but it is doubtful
whether Sam will arrive.
When the 1915 season ended Sam
had 131 hits to go to reach 5000.
Old Man Time got busy with Sam in
1915 and the 131 hits which he would
have thought a bad year in the
period when he was averaging more
than 1S3 per year did not material
ize. He played in an even 100 games
and made ninety-two hits. Manager
Hughey Jennings had to find and
break in a faster and younger man
for Sans job in the outfield and the
veteran was the victim of circum-
stances.
This year Sam will have to make
thirty-nine hits to reach a grand
total of 5000 for his career in the
majors, and unless something un-
foreseen occurs he will not succeed.
He iS doino nofbipp hIIf T1incb hit
he makes the hits needed in that
capacity.
His only hope lies in number of
accidents Detailing the Detroit out
fielders, which would bring him back
into the lineup daily for a longer or
shorter time, but Sam is too good a
sportsman to hope for anything of
the sort.

pss~- JACK KEElIE

Columbus in 1912, which year he en-
tered the University of Michigan, the
Columbus club suspended Sisler on
June 6. His name was bulletined on
the Ineligible list Columbus, how
ever, like most of the minor league
teams, was willing enough to make
the best of sorry bargain. So on
August 20 of that year Columbus
sold its claim upon Sisler to the
Pittsburgh club of the National
league.
Meanwhile Sisters father had in-s
terested himself in the welfare OF his
son. He wished the boy cleared OF
the taint of professionalism, and SO
applied to the national commission
to rule on George Sisters amateuE
standing. The father showed to the
satisfaction of the triumvirate that
the contract entered into with Akron
had been the hasty action of minor,
not entitled to transact business for
himself.
Sisler the elder made it very clear
that he wished his boy to be equip
ped with a university education. The
national commission. to restore Sis
ler's amateur standing, declared nul1
and void the contract the boy had
signed with the Akron club Of the
Ohio and Pennsylvania league.
George meanwhile had begun 10
develop into one of the most sensa-
tional college stars OF all time.
Scouts from every major league club
looked him over and went into rap
lures over his future All OF them
tried to sign him, but the Pirate
scouts let 1t be understood that
Pittsburgh had first claim.
When Sisler entered Michigan
Branch Hickey, now president of the
st. Louis Cardinals, was coach Of
the Wolverines. A strong attach4
ment resulted between coach ana
protege. Before the time of Sisters
graduation at Ann Arbor Hickey had
gone to st. Louis as manager OF the
Browns. Naturally he was anxious
to secure the services of his former
pupil, and despite Pittsburgn's pros
test signed the young star to a ST.
Louis american contract.
