Raise Rabbits for Meat.

Rabbits, which have proved n valu-
able food source In Europe during the
present war, may well be raised more
extensively In America Ia reduce the
drain on the the ordinary meat sup
ply, according to biologists of the
L. s. department Of agriculture. The
animals may be raised In back yards
of cities and towns as well as on
farms.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rah-
bits are recommended for meat pro-
duction, as the ordinary tame rabbit
Is smaller and develops more slowly.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of many kinds.
The department has published n bul.
letin on raising rabbits, which will be
helpful to persons who wish to engage
in this pursuit.
