Women and children In the

Iply by raising rabbits.
With both rabbits and poultry
in ones backyard the family meat
bill would be cut down to what

Rabbits are less trouble than
chickens. They don't make as
much noise, have less sickness,
and cost far less in feed bills.
If one has a sarden, food for
rabbits can be raised.
