The Rabbit Gouge.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
CnuHa No 101 mn ic fho =

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Gouge No. 101, or 1901, is the rabbit
gouge.
The unprecedented early winter snow
has made rabbits an easy prev to
hunters. The retailers are selling rab-
bits at 35 or 40 cents each, a price at
which they are far from a bargain
They used to sell for 10 or Is cents
each. and sometimes for less. Rabbits
are as plentiful as they were when
they were cheap. Means of catching
them are no more expensive than they
were fifty years ago. Shells cost more
than formerly. no doubt, but rabbits
are easily shot and the expense of
killing them cannot be great even at
present prices of shells.
The dealers who buy in primary mar
kets are paying more than they paid
formerly, so the producer" is getting
a whack at the rise in prices, but in
the turnover the rabbits grow 100 per
cent in value. The turnover is rapid
and inexpensive. The consumer, as
usual, gets the gouge.
Rabbits are not worth 40 cents. You
can go to the butchers block and get
greater value in beef for 40 cents. Rab-
bits formerly were food for the poor.
Can they be made an expensive
delicacy by the simple device of
bear it? If the traffic will bear a price
of 40 cents for rabbits the dealers will
charge that price now, and perhaps d
half dollar later.
sons to do without forty-cent rabbits,
and do better with 40 cents, but there
are the poor who lack the 40 cents
and who used to get rabbits for 10 or
Is cents. They can get, presumably, a
soup bone. or possibly some dog meat
nowadays.
