pose of the surplus rabbit meat in
the same way as poultry is handled
at their plant. There are exclusive
rabbit packing plants, but the dis
lance is too far away, st. Louis, Mo-,
being the nearest place.
The rabbit, has long ago been dis
carded as pet, and today stands out
as a great factor in solving the meat
shortage of the country. A visit to
the homes Of either Mr.. Olson or
Mr.. Willis is we'll worth any per-
sons time, just to see these New
Zealand rabbits. The gentlemen are
selling lot of the rabbits every
week, and enquiries are coming
from long distance. Those who have
tried the meat say it is very delic-
ious.

RAISING RABBITS IN DEBORAH
Messrs. Il. Il. Olson and l.. b. Willis
Have About $50 Fine Ones on
Hand Now.
Have Been Selling Large Number for
the Table, and the Meat is Said
to be Very Fine.

The writer recently visited the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. e. T. Olson
in Pleasant Hill Addition, and found
a very fine home, with an immense
garden, which contained practically
Everything family would wish for.
The object of our visit was to see
the large number of New Zealand
rabbits raised on the place. Mr.. Oh
son is associated with L. B. Willis
in the raising of these rabbits. Mr..
Willis also has a large number at his
home
At the present time they have
about $50 very fine specimens,
ranging in age from one month to
one year old. The gentlemen started
last fall with trio, adding few
good specimens at different times,
always aiming to get the best that
money could buy. The industry is a
new one for this part of the country,
but with the increased cost of meat
it should prove very profitable, as
rabbit meat can be raised at cost
of about five cents per pound. They
live ON clover hay, lawn clippings
and any kind of green's from the gar
den, also any kind of grain.
They increase very rapidly. For
example from one doe you can raise
at least five filters a year, and the
filters averaging about eight, which
means from 800 to 400 pounds of
meat from the offspring of one doe.
In many states rabbits are as COM
mon as the poultry business is here.
In nearly all the European countries
rabbit meat is in great demand.
Belgium exported to England alone,
the year before the war over $4,000
900 worth of rabbit meat. The rabbit
requires very little space to do we'll;
outside hutches in the back yard will
do very we'll, or a small building To-
x 10 would house about SO rabbits.
A number of large poultry breeders
have gone into the rabbit business
lately on account of the high cost of
feed. $780,.

Don't Expect One or Two to Do It All

Don't Expect One or Two to Do It All
Occasionally the question is asked
why doesn't the mayor do this or
why doesn't the editor do that, and
reference is made particularly to
something that does not suit some
particular person, and they seem to
think that by agitating the subject
they can get results that will be
beneficial to themselves.
There is an avenue open to every
citizen whereby he can get justice,
revenge or satisfaction, if he is in
suited or abused on the street or
anywhere else inside the corporation
limits, and that is by filing an in
formation with the mayor and sign
ing his name to it. For example, if
anyone abuses you and you think he
should be called to account for it,
it is your privilege for self-protect-
ion and preservation, to file an in
formation with the mayor against
him-this information states the
charge brought against him and
must be signed by you if you expect
action by the court.
p The main thing is, do not blame
someone else for not doing what you
think ought to be done when you
can do it and have the right and the
power toNdo it yourself by filing an
information.
