rabbits, few persons can distinguish
differences in the quality of the flesh
of the various breeds. Much of the ex-
cellence of the rabbit as food depends
on the rapidity of its growth and still
more on the manner of cooking it, AS
often prepared. it is dry and insipid
but in the hands of an experienced
cook it becomes all that the most fas-
tfdious 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 directions herein given for the
care of Belgian rabbits are applicable
TO the management of most other
breeds.
Selection of Stock
If rabbits are bred for food only, the
selection of stock is of less Importance
than when they are bred for show pur-
poses. All that is required is a stable
animal of good, harry stock. However
the points TO (which the fancier breeds
the Belgian hare include also those
most desirable In a food animal, so
that if one can find stock with these
characters well marked, and at the
same time constitutionally sound, he
should by all means obtain it. Pure
bred stock is more profitable, too, be.
cause it may be sold for breeding pur-
poses as well as for the table.
General Standards.
Belgian hare fanciers of a few years
ago differed somewhat in opinion as to
the proper standard of color for this
animal. Some aimed at the color of
brown. Most American breeders seem
TO have preferred a deeper reddish
brown. In all other respects the stand
ards were the same. The chief re-
quisite concerning color is that it shall
be as nearly uniform as possible
throughout the upper surface of the
animal and that the fur shall have a
rich luster. The ticking" or shading,
should be wavy rather than dotted.
The belly and the lower surface Of tail
and hind feet should be Whitish, but
not pure white. The neck and breast
should be somewhat lighter in shade
than the back, but not in marked con-
Srast with it, nor should the change in
shade be abrupt.
Ears.-The ears of the mature Bel
Sian should be about to 51a inches in
length, varying with the size of the
animal. They should be we'll shaped,
strong at the base, and almost trans
parent at the middle. They must not
be pendulous, but should, when the
animal is quiet, be inclined backward,
resting straight over the shoulders. A
narrow black edging at the tip and as
far down the front and back as pos
sible marks the best stock.
Body.-The body of the Belgian is
longer in proportion to the whole bulk
than that of any other breed of the

Misplaced.

When young brother of James E.
Deery, judge of the city court, wrote
back home from an army training
camp that he had misplaced eye
brow the judges father became all
worked up, says the Indianapolis News.
He figured his son must have met with
an accident and the father conferred
with the young mans mother about it,
They together could only surmise that
one of his eyebrows had probably been
shot away.
Judge Deery was more familiar with
the slang of today and he eased his
fathers mind by telling him that a
mustache in slang is spoken of as a
misplaced eyebrow"

Simple Outdoor Hutch.

to use metal hinges for the doors. The
partition may slide in groove be-
tween the doors or may be put in and
taken out through one of the door
openings.
Outdoor hutches should have sloping
roofs and overhanging caves to protect
them from rain. The screened door
should have a sliding cover of wood or
be fitted with removable cloth cover.
Small holes bored near the top of the
hutch will afford all necessary ventila-
ton.
Movable htltches have some advan-
tages. They may be carried outdoors
in fine weather and taken back under
shelter at night or during storms.
Long, narrow cleats projecting at both
ends of the hutch are all that are
needed to convert the ordinary hutch
into a movable one.
Courts.
A rabbit court may be paved or
f1oored, or it may be a grass court sur
rounded by rabbit-proof fence. Sleep
ing 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 wide and
of 1 9-inch mesh. The posts, project
ing 8 or 4 feet above the ground,
should be well set outside the edge Of
the court. The netting Is stapled to
the posts, leaving a projection of 6
inches or more at the top and about IS
inches at the ground, to be turned into
the court. The lower edge should be
covered with 10 or II inches Of soil to
prevent the animals from digging out.
The upper edge also is turned inward
to keep them from climbing out.
Brackets at the tops of the posts make
the best support for the overhangirg
netting, although horizontal pieces of
wood nailed to the posts will answer

New Belgium Medal.

The Elizabeth medal is a new deco
ration just created by the Belgian gov
eminent in honor of the queen Of the
Belgians. The medal was designed by
the Belgian sculptor, Victor Rousseau ;
it bears upon its face an effigy of the
queen and on the back the figure of a
yelled woman bending over a flame
that symbolizes patriotism, honor and
charity. This figure is surmOunted by
this device: 'PrO Patria, HOnOre ct
Caritate." The ribbon is blue with
rose border.
Two of these medals have already
been conferred, one upon the Princess
Victor Napoleon, who was Clementine
of Belgium, cousin of King Albert, and
the other upon the duchess of Ven
dome, King Albert's sister.

common English rabbit is better for

OF the United States, and in the vicin.
lty OF the city of New York and on

'Ie farmers, these animals, when

Belgian hares may be managed sue
cessfully 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 animals
healthful exercise in fine weather is of
advantage.
The Rabbitry.
The rabbitry may occupy part or all
OF barn or shed, or be built in shell
tered space in the angle between
buildings or walls. The indoor rab.
Duty has decided advantages. The
pace should be well ventilated but
not subject to drafts of cold or damn
ar. These may be prevented by venti
Iators in the roof, or by a system OF
elbowed pipes passing through the
SIDES of the building and reaching a
height of two or three feet above the
openings.
Hutches.
Hutches for the Belgian hare should
be somewhat larger than those intend
ed for smaller breeds. They should
be built of good lumber, have tight
floors, and have at least II square feet
or hoor space and height of two feet.
Ii there is plenty of room in the rab-
bltry it is best to have the hutches sep
arate; 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 convenient indoor hutch is one 6
by by 2 feet, with a movable parti-
ton dividing off a third of the space
at one end for nest and sleeping
chamber. The partition has a smooth
hole to permit passage of the animals
from one part to the other. The front
of the hutch has two doors, one of wire
netting, the other of wood. The wood
en- door opens to the sleeping cham
Der and should close tightly. 1t is best
