THE DAWN OF THE RABBIT
(By J. W. Henderson)
The dawn of the rabbit has been break
lng in upon the American people, es¬
pecially in the south, for the past few
years, and they are waking up to the
great possibilities in the rabbit, as a
business proposition. While raising rab¬
bits in the south is in its infancy and is
practically a new enterprise, it is firmly
established and has passed the experi¬
mental stage.
There is no industry that has attrac¬
ted the attention of the thinking man
and woman in a commercial way as has
the rabbit. By the word commercial, we
mean that it is a profitabe industry, and
worthy of consideration and investment.
Especially, during these times of com¬
mercial depression, men, women, young
people and even children are looking
for something in which to turn their
spare time into making some extra
money.
Rabbits vs. Chickens
The raising of chickens is a business
usually relegated to the women and
children. It is a profitable business when
conducted right. It requires work, care
and attention, the same as any other
enterprise, much more than it does for
rabbits. It requires more space and run
for chickens than it does for rabbits,
and this is a big item, especially with
those living in the towns and cities. You
can build your rabbit hutches from the
ground up, thus housing a large number
in a very small space. Your does will
present you with eight to ten young in
thirty days, these can be weaned in six
weeks and the same thing repeated the
year round, summer and winter. At
four months old you have a rabbit that
will dress two to three pounds of white,
grainy meat, similar to the breast of the
chicken, that is worth from forty to
fifty cents per pound. The hides are
worth from 75c to $3.00 each. It has
been demonstrated that eight rabbits
and their offspring, will produce in one
year 480 rabbits, or 3,080 pounds of
meat. Also, that fifty chickens will pro¬
duce in one year 600 chickens, or 2.400
pounds of meat. So as a meat or com¬
mercial proposition the rabbit is far su¬
perior to the chicken. In fact, the rabbit
has no equal as a meat producer.
The demand for the rabbit’s meat and
fur is greater than the supply. Beside
supplying your family with meat, which
is the most delicious, with the greatest
amount of digestive nutriment of all
meats, it is being used very extensively
and in fact is taking the front rank in
the markets of the world, being served

at nil the first class hotels and
everywhere. The fur is used in the
utacture .... ol _... hats and other articles , in
which a very fine leather is
The possibilities of the rabbit from a
commercial standpoint are unlimited.

And Now-Profit In Farming
Without fe Drudgery
FORDSON power mikes more productive
seed beds and the tractor docs its work so
rapidly that farm dn ige y is pas-ir v Ex¬
penses are reduced, ksc. er crop: are grown.
For the job of plow ; * tough or sticky
soils, Fordson farmers use s e OLIVER DISC
PLOW and do the work easily and well. The
thoroughness of its work has made this plow
standard equipment with the Fordson.
Penetration in the toughest soils is assured
by the design of the plow which throws its
weight to the cutting edge of the discs where
they enter the ground. This penetration is
easily varied for different roils. By simply
turning a crank screw, the penetrating power
is increased or decreased.
Improved scrapers give a mouldboard ef¬
fect. They leave a well pulverized seed bed
and cover all trash.
To farm the new way means so small an investment
that it is within easy reach cf ever farmer. Come i.T and
see the Fordson and the OL1VJ R FECIAL Disc Gang
for the Fordson, and you, too. v, ill decide to be a Ford¬
son farmer.

pastor took up a collection from the
congregation earlier in the evening.
