in 1915, sought to bribe Japan into send
ing sufficient arms and ammunition into
India to make successful a. huge rebel
lion against the British crown.

money he went to japan and there tried
to induce certain Japanese politicians to

The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat pro-
d%uction, as the ordinary tame rabbit
is smaller n develops more slowly.
Stock of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders in nearly all the states
at 81 to SO each. They may occa-
s%ionally be had from pet stock deal
ers. Fancy p~edigreed stock is not
required for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They ear
hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when 8
or 10 months DID, and during the
year should raise four filters of about
six young each Well fed. the young
reach marketable size when 3 to 8
months old and average from s to r
pounds live weight.
The department of agriculture has
published a bulletin on raising rab-
bits which will be helful to those
who engage in this pursuit.
