BEATS POVERTY eY
RAISING RABBITS
Woman Needed Money Four Years
Ago but Today Her Income Ranges
From $40 to $1oO Weekly.

Fruitville, Cal.-Four years ago
Mrs. Lizzie Nevins, who had three
children to support, needed money.
Today her income is from $40 to 500
per week and she and her daughters
are respected and looked up to in their
community.
She is raiser of rabbits-a breeder
of blooded stock. On the Pacific coast
she is recognized authority.
At her home is large back yard
and in it are hutches containing ITO
thoroughbred Flemish Giants.
-Four years ago." said Mrs. Nevins,
IL began with three rabbits-a buck
and two does. From this start / have
built an industry. My greatest am
bition was to produce a larger rabbit
than any other breeder. In this
have succeeded. What the market man
needs is quick growing animal SO
before the profit is eaten up in feed
bills.
Il realized this first when I was in
the market business myself. / started
with Belgian hares, but switched to
the Flemish Giants because of the diff
ference in size and weight of the two
breeds. Now l raise only Flemish
Giants. For the first four weeks Flem-
ish and Belgian grow at about the
same rate, but later the Belgians slow
up. Consequently the Flemish Giant
is better animal for the market man.
Breeding blooded stock is much
more profitable and much easier than
raising stock for the market. When
was in the market business had 425
rabbits. 1t is considerable work to
take care of these.
"In the market business the best
price you can ever get is the market
quotatic7, while as breeder, / can
demand my own price-and get il.
too! Animals that cost me a dollar
to raise frequently sell for from $12
to SIS. But, speaking in the slang
goods to get this price. My blooded
Flemish Giants bring from $3.50 tc
$3.50 in eight to ten weeks, ao-
cording to the pedigree of their par
ents.
II entered two rabbits in the Oak.
land poultry show last year and won
with both; the first prize for the best
buck of any age, breed or color; the
special prize; also second prize.
Hard work? Yes, indeed, but keep
on in the face of discouragement. But
any woman with fifteen or twenty
good stock Flemish Giants can make a
comfortable living, if she will apply
herself"

1t was at breakfast that he next

Connie and me, with an explanatory
remark: "This came aboard at Grand

Colonel Sheldon was thinking about
us, and had telegraphed to Gordon's
firm and so caused Mr.. Bryce to be-
gin thinking about us also, their
thoughts set up a strong current in
our direction, which l finally sensed.
1t is simple, after all, and not strange,
or cause for any thought or emotion
of awe.

room with harp or piano it's strings
vibrate in sympathy with the note
you strike. So thought-waves may

We're speaking of a thing which l now
know was in a way related to our
need in Goldield. That sensitized me
to the thought-waves of Sheldon. Do
you see?"
You mean the fly in the spiders

you mean?"
THAT have an idea we will find
some person caught in the web of
circumstance at the end of our jour

You wired Sheldon?" 1 ques-
toned.
"Yes-of course-at Grand juno

muttons-or, to be exact, to our mel
ons-which / see the waiter is bring

refreshing in nicely iced melon for
breakfast. There is no need of an
ticipating trouble, SO enjoy the day.
We make Salt Lake this afternoon
and take the first train for Las
Vegas"
Our waiter served us, and Dual at
once attacked the cantaloup before
him. He ate with relish which
neither Connie nor / could initiate,
Injured to strange situation as l had
become; and after breakfast he sat
with us for a while, explaining to
Connie all about his relations with
Curzon and their Goldfield mine,
and telling her of Colonel Sheldons
mines as well.
To have heard him one would
never have imagined that he had
care in the world, OF have suspected
that even then he was rushing to the
front TO engage in one more of those
battles he had SO often waged in de-
Tense of right.
And Slere is little to tell of the rest
of the trip. We made Salt Lake on
time; Dual called taxi and had us
rushed from one depot to another.
Luck attended us there, and we
caught the belated Western Limited
some five minutes before it left for
the South.
From Salt Lake to Las Vegas was
made in the rest of that day, and the
night and the next day saw us run
ming up from the latter station to
Goldfield, where we arrived in due
time.
Colonel McDonahue Sheldon met
US as we stepped off the train. He
was the same old Colonel Mac, little
changed SO far as l could see. Per-
haps the hair under the light Stetson
was trifle grayer than the first time
! had met him; but the steady gray
eyes were the same and his mustache
bristled as stiffly as ever. Under it his
thin lips were now wreathing into a
smile as he came forward to greet us.
