ily Moluly 1-0 Luau might be made of tanned rabbit

skins as trimmings. in Belgium hc had been long familiar with the DPOCGSS. and so he hired a barn in New JWHHY. advertised for rabbit sk-ins and set to work. In 1915 ho is said to have made $250.000. This year he is advertising for 10,000,000 hides. As poln-ted out. the rabbit, unlike several other domestic ani. mais. is useful both for its pelt und its food. The flesh ls delicate and nourishing. and with the prices of pork and 'beef at their present alti- tudes. there is n. greater demand fm- rabbit flesh than can be suppiictl.
