MAKE RIGHT USE
OF RABBIT SKIN
Value Depends Greatly on Their
Condition and Are Always
in Good Demand.
DIRECTIONS FOR PREPARING
Department Of Agriculture Bulletin
Tells How to Skin, Stretch and
Tan-Preferabie to Sell to Lo-
cal Fur Buyer.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Rabbit skins should always be saved.
as they have a value, depending on
their condition. and are regularly In
demand say scientists Of the biologi-
cal survey, United States Department
of Agriculture A skin may be pre-
pared for market with less trouble
than is required to bury it. 1t has
only to be drawn, flesh side out, over
a piece of thin board or No. gauge
galvanized wire, shaped to give it
uniform tension, and hung in shady,
well-ventilated place, such as an open
shed, until it becomes bone dry. Ar
tificial heat should not be used TO
dry skins if it is possible to dry them
otherwise before there is danger of
their becoming sour or moldy. Usual
ly after hanging week or 10 days
skins may be removed from stretch
erS.
SHINING the Rabbit.
An experienced hand can skin rab-
bit in less than one minute. with
a sharp-pointed knife slit the rabbit
from one heel past the under side
Of the tail to the other heel. Then
twist each hind foot until the knee
sticks out through the slit in the skin.
Pass the fingers between the muscle
and the skin to separate them and
break the skin at the base of the tail
so that the bone may be pulled through
them, thus stripping off the skin. 1t
is then convenient to hang the carcass
by the hamstrings as high as the OPP
orators head, from iron pins driven
eight inches apart into horizontal
scantling. By using the knife a lit
tie around the tanks, shoulders, eyes,
and lips and by severing the ears from
the skull, the skin may be stripped
from the body, inside out, as glove
is turned from hand. If care Is
taken the skin may be removed whole,
thus preserving the pelt and at the
same time leaving no hairs on the
meat.
Unless one is killing great many
rabbits, it is usually preferable to sell
the dried skins to local fur buyer.

Miss Anna Pamela Cunningham


Miss Pamela gives the following ac-
count of the birth of the idea to pur-
chase Mount Vernon. In the summer
OF 1858, on a bright moonlight night
a steamer was passing down the
broad Potomac, and as it crossed the
SHADOW of Mount Vernon, its bell
tolled out the customary requiem to
the immortal hero in his last resting
place. On the steamer was Mrs. Lou
lisa Cunningham, the mother of Miss
Pamela, and as the tolling OF the bell
dled away across the hills she reflect
ed sadly on the desolation which was
inevitably creeping over the sacred
spot. All at once an inspiring and
God-siven idea seemed to take Dos-
session Of her mind that If the women
or America could own Mount Vernon
II might be preserved to the nation
forever. AT this time Miss Cuning-
nam was In South Carolina at Rose
mont her old ancestral home, con-
hned 10 her room as n confirmed in
Valld. but within her frail body burn
ed the fires OF enthusiasm and intel
lcctual ability and sympathizing
and indomitable spirit which would
accept Of no discouraagement or re-
JUL When her mother wrote her of
ner proposition in regard to Mount
vernon, her enthusiastic and inyin-
clDlc spirit aroused itself and from
ner lnvalid's couch she said: IL will
40 IT, And she did. At first her tim
1dlty and her modesty compelled her
TO use in her letters to the press the
name OF the Southern Matron." For
long time her identity was conceal
ed, but at length it came out. She
could not work always in this way.
Iherc were other things to be done
besides writing for the press. Think
OF the task she had, to raise the ,,tor
nous sum OF 100000, the necessary
sum for the purchase money. Northern
papers soon began to notice the work
OF the Southern Matron" and de-
cared that the project must not be
confined to the southern women, but
that the whole nation should be al
lowed to aid in the plan. Miss Cum
1ngham, who, by this time, had be-
come known and had been elected first
regent Of the Mount Vernon associa-
ton, gracefully yielded and appointed
vice regents from every state in the
union. Three years after the move
ment had started Miss Cunningham met
in Richmond the Hon. Edward Everett
1t was there he gave his delivery
OF his great eulogy on Washington.
She soon persuaded Mr. Everett by her
eloquence and enthusiasm to devote
his talents to the cause. He offered to
give the proceeds Of his lectures for a
certain time to Miss Cunningham for
the association, and in a short time
turned over to her the handsome sum
of $4,000. Washington Irving gave
$500. Thousands Of school children
gave five cents each. At last, in MANY
different ways, the sum was raised. AT
the last moment there was a hitch in

Wheat-It is quite natural to expect a
reaction in wheat considering the rapidity
and extent Of the recent advance. To
days reaction has been helped by CON
siderable rain in the Southwest helped
also by reports of increased movement of
wheat to this market for delivery on May
contracts English cables professed
skept,cism as to the damage done to our
wheat crop and said there would be no
demand from that source at these prices.
However, the continent seems differently
minded. there being in the neighborhood
Of 100000 bushels sold late yesterday
and today. This is new crop wheat for
July and August shipment. There is a
little lowering of premiums for cash
wheat but the market certainly cannot
be called weak as buyers here are bidding
20 to 70 cents over July for the old crop
and Minneapolis reports extreme pre-
miums bid by millers. Advices from
east of the Mississippi River suggest that
the condition which has been uncovered
in the Southwest prevails in their terri
tory, In view of the fact that the most
flattering estimate of the winter wheat
crop was only $4,000 900 larger than last
years final yield, and we have exhausted
the old crop even with importations OF
Canadian wheat, there is little room for
any belief in lower prices IL we stop to
consider that the early promise of total
yield has been materially reduced Fur
tHeF luhH tHIs, IL rs not pFODaDle tndI the
producer will be a free seller of the new
crop at the prices now represented by the
July delivery as compared with what
is being paid for old wheat. Russia and
India are expected to be importers and
1t is now stated that Roumania will have
no surplus. from which we argue that
the foreign demand the coming year will
be as large as the past year. There will,
OF course, be easy spots in the market
under changing weather conditions. but
we doubt the advisability of being
welded to the theory of permanently
lower prices.
Corn and Oats-There is a rather brisk
export demand for corn and preparations
are being made for large shipments from
this market The visible supply has been
cut in two within the past six weeks
The present run OF corn viii be tho last
until the new crop is made. On the
assumption that foreign demand FOR
wheat viii equal last year. IL Is doubt
full If there will be any particular de-
cline in these grains.
Provisions-W Weakness IN hogs prompted
little scattered selling. There IS no
broadening OF interest, support being
lacking.
