Motor Department: - What is
meant by a "stone bruise?" J. r.
a stone bruise in a shoe is due
TO a blow from a stone or other
hard substance while running at
high speed or at medium speed with
tire partly Debated. The shoe is
pinched between the stone and the
rim and the fabric is broken. This
makes a weak spot in the tread or
side wall and soon there is a blow
out. You may demonstrate this as
fOllOws:-Lay a piece Of inner tube
on a hard surface. place a thin piece
OF cloth on that. and another piece
of tube on top. Use single thick

been done in the way Of developing
market for rabbit meat in these
countries indicates clearly the large
possibilities for progressive growers
in the United States. The shortage Of
meat furnishes an opportunity which
should be made highly profitable to
the rabbit grower.
Another economic phase of the
question is indicated by the fact that
meat produced at or near home saves
freight and several profits. The ex-
ample of Europeans and the experience
of breeders in America alike indicate
that the utility rabbit, particularly If
grown near the market, can be made
large factor in solving the meat
problem, TO the mutual profit of con-
sumers as well as producers. There
are seven breeds Of rabbit which come
under the designation Of utility ami
mails. They are comprised In three
types, represented by the so-called
Giants, the Belgian hares, and the
New Zealand red rabbits.
Feeding Problem Simple.
The problem of feeding the rabbits
is relatively simple. In every garden
there is feed that is apt to be wasted
unless it is given to the rabbits. Dan
delions are pest in lawns, but they
are excellent to feed, with alfalfa and
clover and oats or other grain, as also
leaves of the burdock, yellow dock,
and other weeds and prunings from
apple and cherry trees. The construc-
tion of proper housing for these ami
mails is relatively simple. The United
States department of agriculture is
prepared to furnish advice on the
breeding and marketing of rabbits and
to offer practical suggestions regard
ing their feeding and housing.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For many years rabbits have been
raised in this country as pets and as
fancy stock for competitive exhibi-
tions, but now it has become profit
able for many living in the country,
and even city dwellers, to raise these
animals for the food market. Until
war and postwar prices set everyone
to thinking about the food problem,
there had been no real incentive to
breed rabbits for practical ends, as
they were not actually needed for
food, and better fur than theirs could
be had for little money. However, the
great change In economic conditions
has materially changed their status.
The general Introduction of any
kind of a food product is dependent
upon the public's familiarity with that
product. American people in general
have learned something Of the value
of rabbit meat through the rather
general use of wild rabbits, which
were hunted and trapped by farmers
and sportsmen and others in almost
all parts of the country. Homegrown
rabbits do not have the gamy flavor
of wild rabbits, their flesh being prac-
tically indistinguishable by taste from
that Of chicken.
Because of the well-remembered
PoIOfoy bora hoopo ryhfoh tool Ylaop
some years ago, there is considerable
disinclination on the part of many
to undertake rabbit raising for profit.
Experiments along this line in the
past should not be, confused with rab-
bit raising as now advocated by the

United States department of agricul-
ture. The Belgian hare boom spread
rapidly for time and continued as
long as there was demand for breed
ing stock, but when this demand was
changed to q meat basis the boom
collapsed, as there was then no real
need for a new source of meat.
Demand for Rabbit Meat
Experience in more recent years has
proved, however, that rabbit raising
for the purpose of supplying tile meat
trade is profitable. City and suburban
dwellers are raising rabbits in back
yards. Although the total production
is as vet comparatively small, it is
steadily Increasing. In such scattered
sections of the country as California
Washington, Colorado, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, the domesticated rabbit is rec
ognized as regular meat animal.
rabbits are shipped alive to market
in crates or are neatly dressed ready
for cooking and are packed in san
itary manner for transportation.
There are numerous instances of
profitable rabbit raising. A resident in
Kansas City, Kans., has raised 300
to 400 pounds of rabbit meat for use
on his own table, at cost of about
half the present meat prices. A large
institution in Nebraska has raised rab.
bits instead of poultry and reports
the meat more satisfactory than chick
en-. and also a most profitable prod
uct. On county farm in Washington,
rabbits were grown to provide for
the county hospitals, furnishing sub
Astitute for chickens.
Europeans Eat Many Rabbits.
Further evidence Of the marketing
possibilities In rabbit raising are to
be found in the experience of France
and Belgium and other European
countries. In the greater part Of
Europe, except the most northerly por-
tions, rabbit breeding was an industry
of considerable Importance before the
war. About 1O00O0,0O0 rabbits were
marketed annually in France, approx
imately 100000 were raised In Bel
gium per year for home consumption
and export. The value Of rabbits an
nually exported from Ostend, to Eng
land exceeded $1,000.O0J, while, in
Guiding wild hares raised in English
preserves, England itself WAS produc-
ing from 100000 to 40o00.oOO rnb-
bits. The consumptionin In one year he
fore the war in London amounted 10

Warming against the feeding of dis
eased cattle carcasses to hogs is sound
ed by the United States department of
agriculture. conference Of state and
federal officials, to deal with matters
of tuberculosis eradication, brought to
light numerous instances where hogs
contracted tuberculosis after feeding
on carcasses of tuberculous cattle. In
one case nearly an entire drove of
hogs showed LESSONS of tuberculosis
which at first the owner could not ac-
count for Later he admitted to the
veterinarian investigating the case
that several months before he had fed
to the hogs the carcass Of COW that
never did very well.'
The bureau Of animal industry urges
livestock owners to have careful
autopsy made on animals dying on the
farm or killed because of sickness in
order that the definite cause Of trou-
BILE may be learned. Carcasses that
show LESSONS of infectious diseases
should not be fed. Instead, such car
casses should be cared for SO that no
part can be eaten by hogs. Thorough
destruction of the carcass by burning,
or by deep burial under liberal ap-
plication of quicklime, is the proper
procedure in such cases. Attention is
called also to the danger Of feeding
offal from slaughtered animals to
swine, as such a practice is another
source Of infection.
