 The present shortage of beef and pork can not be remedied quickly. However, rabbits breed rapidly, ma ture early and furnish palatable and highly nutritious nieat; consequently. they can be made to increase our meat supply enormously within a few months.
 The fact that rabbits are grown easily, maintained at very small feed cost, not susceptible to disease, stand confinement we'll, are very prolific and require but small space in the back yard or under back shed should cause many to turn their attention to this industry.
 The Belgian Hare, Flemish Giant and New Zealand Red are recommend ed on account of their size, prolific ness and their splendid table qualities.

SHOWS DAMAGED TREES.
Destructive Effects Everywhere Seen
Scarcity of Small Game.

Not in recent spgings have the woods
hereabouts shown such destructive eff
fects of heavy SHOWS during winter as
at the present time. Everywhere one
goes there arc countless numbers of
trees broken down and as many more
bowed to the ground that will never
straighten. Many woods roads upon
which it was pleasure to drive are
now impossible because of these trees.
4 result of the severe cold during the
past winter is also very noticeable in
the woods, among the mountain laurels,
especially the taller ones which We're
not covered by the snow. All the top
most and end branches were killed and
already the leaves have turned brown.
While these bushes are of no value
these masses of pink and white blossoms
in June turn many hillside in this vi
cinity into n beautiful sight.
The unusual depth of snow can now
be better understood by looking over
the small trees in various places whose
bark was eaten off by the smaller ami
mails, such as rabbits, which travel on
top of the snow. In many instances
the bark is off upwards of three to four
feet from the ground and is, whole
below that point.
In travelling through the woods one
also notices the unusual scarcity of
partridges and squirrels but more than
Il few jaunts are necessary to determine
whether this scarcity is real or only APP
parent. Deer signs arc as numerous as
usual which would indicate that they
have wintcrcd we'll.
