At four months the young Belgian
hare Should be ready for the table,
and if it has been properly fed should
weigh about six pounds or even more.
This weight Is about the best for mar
ket rabbits, and immediate sale Is
more profitable than keeping to ma
turity. Some breeders sell at 10 to II
weeks and aim to have their stock
weigh about M pounds at that age
To do this requires that the animals
be kept In small hutches where they
can have but little exercise and that
they be fed heavily from the time they
are weaned. Under this treatment
they grow very rapidly and are really
superior for the table.
Market Returns.
1t Is not easy to state what a breeder
should realize for market rabbits.
Much depends on local conditions and
especially upon the familiarity of the
public with the excellence of hutch
rabbits for the table. If the animals
are new to market, demand for
them will have to be built up, but as
rule they soon will become popular.
Better prices usually can be had by
selling directly to the consumer, thus
saving the mddeman's profit. One
may make arrangements to deliver
regularly or periodically to hotels and
restaurants, but often poultry dealer
will agree to take certain quantity
at regular intervals. If members OF
the family look after the rabbits, so
that there is no outlay for labor, and
If the hutches are built at home, the
cost Of rearing may be greatly reduced
and much of the income will be net
gain. Although it must be admitted
that rabbits require more care than
usually Is given to poultry on our
farms, their management has the ad-
vantage that it Is more interesting, |
especially to the younger members of !
the family.
Disposing of Surplus.
After selecting the best stock for
breeding purposes 1t is well to dispose
of the remainder as rapidly as condi-
tons warrant. If those to be sold are
to be marketed alive, all that is needed
Is to crate them properly and forward
them to their destination. This is the
better plan in hot weather, as the
carcasses do not keep well. If car
casses are to be delivered the meth
DDS of killing and packing are import
ant considerations.
Killing.
There are two excellent ways of
killing the animals. The easier and
probably the more humane is to dis
locate the neck. Almost all game
keepers know this method and can
show the novice quickly how 1t is
done, but probably a description will
be understood. Take the two hind
legs of the rabbit firmly in the left
hand, place the thumb of the right
hand Just behind the ears where the
neck Joins the skull, the palm resting
on the left side of the face and the
fingers holding firmly under the jaws.
Then stretch out the animal quickly
and with force, pressing in the right
thumb and bending the head back
ward. The dislocation will be felt dis
tinctly. This method requires con-
siderable strength, but when the knack
If it is learned it entails less suffer-
ng than any other. Another excel
ent way of killing Is to hold the rab-

" WHO viii Win

Much Of your comfort depends upon
knowing that your system will perform
its functions properly.
Your kidneys are the filters Of the body.
If they become inactive and foil to elm

throw the whole mechanism Of the body
out of order, thus toxic poisons can &C
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments OF
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
aches, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the Bladder.

HOLD ENTERTAINING MEETING
Meeting of Catholic Woman's Club
Was Marked on Saturday by Patri-
otto Decorations and Music.

Little did George Washington know
when he did his famous cherry tree
stunt that he had placed countless
hostesses for generations to come under
a debt of gratitude to him. Little did
he realize that he was furnishing a
motif for luncheon decorations, cotilli-
on favors, dinner place cards and the
thousand and one accessories that go
to embellish the life of society when
it assemblies on February dates that
approach the 22nd.
One of the prettiest examples of
Washington birthday decorations was
furnished Saturday by the Catholic
Woman's Club when it held patriotic
meeting before which an interesting
program was given.
American flags were used as table
decorations with a miniature cherry
tree loaded with it's luscious scarlet
fruit as a centerpiece. The candles
about the room and on the luncheon
table were shaded with Uncle Sam hats
in which red, white and blue were the
conspicuous features. Even the re-
freshments were in accord with the
cherry idea, for cherry pie was the
piece de resistance Of the luncheon
served.
The hall was draped with large flags
at the ends and on the sides while
quantities Of small ones appeared be-
tween.
Miss Grace Matthews had a paper on
:" The Continent of Opportunity" the
name she gave to South America. She
