In a bulletin of the Dominion, De-
partment of Agriculture, on the gen-
eral subject of rabbits, the ‘author
states that ‘official analyses and the
expressed opinions of dietetic experts
have demonstrated beyond doubt that
the meat of properly fed rabbbits has
a higher nutritive ond digestive value
than that of practically any other ani-
mui. The mil-fed rabbbit, for in-

amvunt of “white meat”: and should
not be confused with the wild rabbit,
as it is entirely difterent, both in fla-
vor aud texture.

It ig pointed out in the bulletin that
2 ready market for properly dressed,
clennly packed rabbit meat, is to be
found in the larger cities, at hospitals,.
clubs, hotels, or at. leading, poulterers
at prices ranging from 25 to 30 cents
2 pound. Given proper care ond man-
agement there is no reason why yab-
bbits as a side line either on the farm
or in the back yard, should not prove
to be an appreciable source of revenue.
