Arithmetic and Rabbits.

Purdue university wants the boys and
girls of Indiana to raise rabbits. The
university has lent its aid TO bring about
greater production Of pigs, calves, poul-
try, and so on. This was part of the
effort to have more live stock produced
ON the farm and also intended to relieve
the food situation Boy and girl clubs
have been established throughout the
state and have made a record of splendid
achievement. Now they are asked TO
turn their attention to rabbits. Seventy
county agricultural agents will cooper
ate with them.
Arithmetic and rabbits are kindred
subjects Addition, satisfaction, and di-
vision all must have consideration, but
the biggest element win be that Of null
tiplication. Books on rabbits say they
mate ait the age OF SIX months and bring
forth progeny about six times year,
The Iitters average from five to eight.
Experts have figured on basis of
1000 rabbits at the start With the Law
Of averages in mind, they estimate that
at the end of two years the rabbit crop
would number 2,057 900, The old fig
ures are explained because Of allow
ance for one rabbit being stepped on and
killed. Otherwise the total would have
been 2.50s 600 There Is no question
about rabbits being good food, or about
the price having gone up. Wild rabbits
used to be had almost for the asking
during the season, but the rabbit also
passed into the class of luxuries and has
been rather expensive for the last few
wears. If Dummies are to be raised by
Wholesale methods and few million
turned over to Indiana people for food
purposes, the price ought to come down.
