prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The attractive, not to say startling,
mathematical calculations which are
sometimes made in estimating breeding
possibilities of rabbits not infrequently
have led persons to engage in rabbit
raising without proper study Of the
problem. Before starting on this en-
terprise, it is advisable also for one
to consider well how such rabbits as
can be raised may be disposed Of. In
the vicinity Of towns where there are
restaurants, hotels and boarding
houses, arrangements can usually be
made to furnish market men or land
lords a regular number of rabbits
weekly. But one should not begin rails
ing rabbits on a large scale in To-
cality where people are unaccustomed
to eating them. No breeder can ex-
pect to make a profit until he has de-
veloped market. He can demonstrate
the desirability Of the meat of young
rabbits to his neighbors and sometimes
to other agencies. If a breeder is not
able to carry out an educational cam
paign singly, he should endeavOr to or
ganize with others in such an under
taking. By combining they can save
cost in advertising and stabilize their
output.
Rabbits of recognized breeds con-
forming in size, build and color to ac-
cepted standards are always in de-
mand for breeding stock. Those born
Of registered parents are preferred and
are spoken of as ''pedigreed." They
can be registered If the owner so de-
sires. The cost of keeping pedigreed
or registered stock is no more than
that of ordinary stock and the returns
are considerably greater. Such stock
can usually be disposed of by adver-
Using in poultry and pet journals,
If there is not sufficient home demand.
Rabbits for meat are sold at greater
profit when from two to four months
of age. Ordinarily they are shipped
to market alive in crates, like poul-
try.
