prepared by the United States Depart

The rabbit thrives we'll on a diver
sity of vegetable foods. Many writ
ers on the care Of this animal prescribe
elaborate lists Of foods to be followed
week In and out. The fact is that a
few staple foods are sufficient, but no
animal is more adaptable to sudden
changes Of diet; so that one can feed
what is available or cheap, the idea be-
ing to produce weight with the least
possible outlay of money.
Grain and Hay.
The best grain for rabbits Is oats,
either whole or crushed, though corn
meal barley, or other grain may often
be fed by way of change. The crushed
oats are best when freshly broken, and
hand mill for preparing them is a
valuable adjunct to rabbitry.
Hay Is a necessary part Of the rab-
bits diet, and If possible that of the
very best quality should be used. 1t
should be entirely free from moldness,

suitable grass grows, the moving may
be done at short intervals and the hay
thoroughly cured in such small guam
titles that no sweating takes place
However. II sweet hay Is not available
the sweated may be fed to the rabbits
without injury, unless 1t be moldy.
Green Foods.

MATCHED HORSES IN DEMAND
Decided Advantage in Having Animals
OF Same Conformation, Color and
Pulling Power.

If you own good draft horse, be
on the lookout for another like him.
There is a decided advantage in hav-'
ing a matched team of draft horses,
especially when 1t comes to selling
them on the open market. There Is
an increased value of from 25 to 40
per cent In a team that is perfectly
matched as to color, size, conforma-
ton, and pulling power. A matched
team Is not only more attractive In
appearance, thus furnishing an asset
to the city buyer, but they are actu-
ally more valuable from the stand
point of efficiency.
1t Is far better to have teams to
sell rather than single animals, as
good matched teams will usually
bring far more than the individuals
will sell for separately. In selling
horses 1t should be remembered that
the buyer is guided first by appear
ance which includes amount OF flesh
and grooming and 1t Is only after

Turnips, unless kept in the ground,

lie use. Beets and mangels keep bet
ter and the latter are the main de-
pendence Of come English rabbitries
but, on the whole, cabbages are more
economical, as well as more satisfac-
tory in every way. They are usually
available until green stuff grows in the
spring. Whatever green food is put
away for winter use must be stored
where frost cannot touch it, as freez-
ing units it for rabbits. Parsnips left
In the ground all winter make an ex-
cellent early spring rabbit food after
the frost leaves the ground In which
they grow.
Feeding.
Rabbits should be fed twice daily.
Ordinary stock is fed morning and
evening, but sucking does should also
have a noon meal or be given more
than they will eat at the other meals.
The general rule is to feed only as
much grain or green stuff as the an
lmals will consume. Hay is put into
the hutch to be available at any time,
part of 1t being left as litter. The
exact amount Of grain or green stuff
for each rabbit at a meal cannot be
stated, as the appetite varies greatly
at different times. Observations of
the quantity left over when the ami
mails quit feeding win soon enable the
feeder to adjust the meals to the needs
Of the rabbits. sOverfeeding Is a much
more common mistake than underfeed-
Ing.
Rabbits under three or four months
old should be limited In the amount of
green food. If allowed too much they
are apt to become 'pot-bellied." When
young rabbit is seen to grow big
about it's belly, the use of green food
should be discontinued and the animal
given plenty of exercise. Under such
treatment 1t will soon recover, but II
the green food is continued the disease
| usually terminates in commissions and
death. Old rabbits are not subject tC
| this trouble.
Breeding.
1t is not desirable to pair rabbits
until they are at least six months old
although they may be bred earlier
Some breeders do not mate animals
under ten months of age. Healthy ma
ture rabbits produce larger ant
stronger filters than younger stock do
Methods Of Mating.
Different breeders adopt differen
methods of mating. Some leave the
buck In the hutch of the doe for but
few minutes, and others leave hin
overnight. The older does should b,
mated In February, but it is well t.
defer mating young doe until March
She then has young in April, whel
