Can Raise Rabbits in City
And Increase Meat Supply

Special plsrstch to tho lntell!gencer.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July S.
Rabbits, which have proved a Talu-
able source Of food in Europe during
Aore 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 grow
ing rabbits, the specialists point out,
can be carried on by youths and
adults not engaged in military or other
national service, or in regular Indus
trial employment. The animals may
be raised in back yards Of cities and
towns, as we'll as on farms.
The Belgian hare. says a statement
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. breeds rapidly, natures
quickly and produces palatable 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 without requir-
ing space that may Sc needed for the
production Of crops. Practical e1pe-
rience has demonstrated that rabbit
meat can be produced in unlimited
quantities at a cost Of about six cents
a pound; aud by utilizing lawn cut.
1ines and other vegetation that would
otherwise be wasted. the cost can be
made even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat pro-
| ducton, as the ordinary tame rabbit
is smaller and develops more slowly.
Stock Of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders in nearly all the States
at 81 to So each They may occasion
ally be had from pet stock dealers:
! Fancy pedigrced stock is not required
! for meat production.
! Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay. grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of pany kinds. Females
should be allowed TO breed when or
10 months old. and during the year
should raise four filters Of about six
young each. Well fed, the, young
reach marketable size when three TO
four months old, and average from 5
to pounds live weight
The Department Of Agriculture has
: published a bulletin on raising rabbits
which will be helpful to those who
wish to engage in this pursuit.
