BELGIAN HARE INDUSTRY
Useful Information as to the Care and Breeding of the Little
Creatures and How to Prepare Their Dainty
Meat for the Table.
Irarins the past -sreek many sales have
been reported by the local dealers, much
fine stock having been shipped to the
smaller towns of this state and "Wash
ington. Much Interest is being manifested In
this new Industry, and numerous inquiries
have been made for advice as to the rais
ing, feeding and general care of the
Belgian hare; also regarding the con
struction of hutches, runs, rabbltrles, etc.
The Interrogatories will be found an
swered in this article in a general way.
Uovt- to Begrln Some Practical Hints
About Barinff Stock.
As the Belgian hare Industry Is just
being Introduced, a word to those who
may desire to engage in it will no doubt
be appreciated. "Wherever introduced, the
little enlmal will speak for itself and
win favor among all classes. There is no
question on this point. Naturally, it
must follow those who first start In the
business in any locality, and introduce
good stock, will have the greater advan
tage. "We would suggest to begin moderately.
While the largest profits are made on
line stock, it is not always advisable to
begin with this kind, unless you have
some acquaintance with the business, and
the merits of the Belgian hare are known
in your community. At first order one
or more docs of medium grade, those
with a pedigree and well bred preferred.
If you do not care to invest much at tho
start, order a thoroughbred and have it
bred to tome ordinary buck. As but little
time will elapse after your doe has been
bred before you will be presented with
from six to 12 youngsters, you will soon
have an opportunity of learning the
wants of the hare, and they are not
xna"ny, and be in a position to order more,
not only for your own rabbitry, but for
your friends and neighbors, for they aro
quite sure to want them; and before you
are aware of it you have a business on
your hands. You can then get a buck,
with w hlch to do your own breeding, and
also to have him at stud in your rab
bitry. It Is not advisable to sell your own
yesngsters until they are six months old
and ready to breed.
Hott to Bnild Tow Itabbitry.
It is not necessary for the beginner
to incur any great expense in the build
ing of a rabbitry. At tho start, a large
dry goods box, well protected from
drafts or very hot sun, in an ordinary
ehed, will sumco; or at a very slight ad
ditional cost runs can be made. The
runs should be made on board floors, ex
cepting in Midsummer, when they may
be made on the ground. They should bo
two or two and one-half feet wide, and
from eight to 10 feet long. Either 12-lnch
board or one-inch mesh wire, at least
two feet high, should be placed between
each run. It is well, also, to cover each
run with one-Inch mesh wire. This makes
a cheap rabbitry, and will afford the ani
mals ample room in which to romp
around and make them healthy. Tho
run3 should be -ways kept clean. Plenty
cf straw or sawdust, preferably the lat
ter, should be placed in the hutches. In
tho runs for the bucks it is a good plat.
to place one, two or three eight-inch or
10-inch boards across to serve as hurdles.
This gives the buck exercise and keeps
him in good form.
Look to Comfort Not Style.
Seo that your rabbitry is supplied with
plenty of fresh air, but no drafts. Many
runs are constructed out of doors, and
tho hares are healthy. This is all right
for meat stock, but fine hares should not
be allowed in the open unless protected
from tho sun, as their fine color Is easily
bleached. Some rabbltrles arrange their
runs so that part Is Indoors and part
out, and regulated so that the outdoor
sections can be opened or closed.
The self-cleaning or sanitary hutch Is
very desirable, and is not very expensive,
and always presents a neat and cleanly
arpearance, and the hare is apt to bo
healthy.
Each animal of breeding age should be
kept in a hutch by itself, as near the fol
lowing dimensions as possible: Five feet
lorg two and one half feet wide, and two
feet high, with tight floor, two feet wide,
painted, and sloping toward either fron.
or back; the remaining six inches of
flooring to be of one-fourth or one-half
Inch mesh wire, to allow the excretion to
drain off into a. galvanized drawer or
trough, which may be removed or cleaned
from the outside of the hutch. The
back and two sides should be of wood,
one toot high, the top foot Inclosed
with wire netting (one-Inch mesh), thus
drawing all the ventilation from the top
and giving shelter at the bottom. At one
end place the nest box one foot wide, one
foot in height and two and one-half feet
leng; on top of this tho doe can take
Tcfugo from tho constant drain of the
3 oungsters. Tho remaining four feet of
the front should be a door of wir netting
(or.e-lnch mesh), so that the hutch can be
readi'y cleaned It cannot be kept too
clean.
What and Hovr to Feed.
Give plenty of good, pure water, in
earthenware dishes. Pon't over feed.
I TVcd clean rolled -barley, oats or wheat
I once a day, in the morning: also, every
ether -day, some alfalfa or clover hay,
ct night Give fresh carrots three or
I four times a week. Iandellon and plan-
tv.li leaf may also be given sparingly
with the evening meal. The health of the
hare can be almost entirely regulated by
jjroper .and careful feeding- Green feed
eerves as a purgative and should be fed
with judgment. Regularity in time of
feeling should be oberved. say twice a
day, and then only in such quantity as
w II be eaten clean within an hour.
Bcme owners of rabbltrles mix salt with
the feed. This is not satisfactory as
ijj person can say Just how much salt
I a hz.re requires at all times. It is there
fore suggested that rock salt bo sub
stituted and a small piece be placed In
lexcrv hutch, suspended by twine or wire.
i T:e reck salt should nojt bo allowed to
lie en the floor, as it readily absorbs all
! rr.aisture.
11 reed I rip:.
Iksts are sometimes bred when 5
rnc-ths old. Six months Is a better
jape The doe should be handled but little
a'cr havlns: been bred and not at all
af'cr the second week, unless absolutely
Ir.rccsry and then only with the great
est cr.ro. She should not be bred sooner
than a month from time of having
young. The young should bo weaned at
I s'x weeks of age. A doe should not bo
exic. ted to nurse more than eight young
sters at a time. Six would yield better
res-Its. "When breeding for fancy stock.
rurse doe should be bred at the same
time and let hor take care of the sur-
r's 1'tt'e ones from the pedigreed doe.
The a-pon of this plan will be found
tct acslrabie, for it not Infrequently
occurs that the nurse does raises the best
yurgstcrs of the litter and which, by
t:e way, would be the very ones that
wcu'd otherwise necessarily hxve been
d'sroel of At time of kindling keep
the d:e well supplied with good fresh
wattr ad, once a. diy, with bread and
m"!c "When tho youngsters are three
rcrrths ti& the bucks and does should be
seT'vted
T'-b'-ecJ.ng should not occur, as It will
!&etcJ",rate the stock, Chamje bucks as
ofc s practicable, and endeavor, in
jxert'"" to secure a buck that possesses
JcerVln nualities In which the doe falls
shcrt and vice versa. Always handle
ycur sfck gently and you will have
Spets ""cy apfreclate gentleness and
il'inslr-ss, A doe should not be bred
ra:rc than six times a. year and better
treats will follow if bred four or Ave
itknes a. vear.
Hovr to Cook Hnrc.
Th? !-.rr like poultry, can be pre-
pared in various ways; we suggest such
methods only that have been found re
liable. It may be remarked that, as with
standard cooking recipes of all kinds,
proportions of ingredients may be
changed and such variations made in
sauces, etc, as suggest themselves to the
intelligent cook, or as circumstances may
require. Itemember that in frying or
broiling especially, the meat after being
washed must be wiped thoroughly with
a dry cloth.
Killing: and Dressing.
Take the hare by the hind feet, letting
the head hang downward; strike a smart
blow on the back of the head; cut the
throat at once, letting out all of the
blood. Hang up as you would a mutton.
Run the knife around the first joint of
the hind legs, cutting the skin; and pass
the blade inside the thigh to the tall.
"With the hand separate the skin from
tho flesh, drawing the skin downward!
towards tho head. Cut the fore legs off
at the first Joint and pull up tho skin. Use
the knifo carefully In skinning the head,
severing it at tho nose and Up and draw
it off. Silt the belly lengthwise and re
move Intestines, excepting tho kidneys.
The liver and heart aro to be saved; also
the head If you wish it, first removing
the eyeballs. Wash the body thoroughly
and dry with a cloth.
t Trnssincr.
For roasting, skewer the head tightly
between the shoulders; then skewer the
legs closely to the body. To prepare for
boiling, skower the legs as before and
draw the head to the side, firmly skew
ering to the body.
Selecting for the Table.
"When using more than one hare for any
particular dish, always choose specimens
as nearly the same age as possible, other
wise the youngest will cook to pieces be
fore tho others .are done. If purchasing
dressed specimens, you may determine
whether the animals are young by break
ing the jaw between the thumb and fin
ger; "if the fracture Is easily made, the
hare Is young. An English authority says
that in a young specimen, a little nut
like ball Is to be found In the point of
the paw. If this cannot be felt, the chap
is an old one, and only fit for frys, etc
If a hare has been killed recently the
flesh will be dry, white and sweet. If old
it will be blue and slimy. In young the
coat and claws will be smooth The oppo
site will be true of old animals. The ears
of the young may be easily torn, but if
the skin of the head has been removed, of
course this test cannot be made. Hares
are tender and delicious from three to
six months old, and older If caporilzed
and well and rapidly fattened. Hare meat
is better If the animal has been left to
hang for one day.
Recipes for Cooking'.
Roast (English) Fill with veal force
meat, sew up and truss firmly, fore legs
back and hind legs forward, fastening
the head In an upright position. Some
line the Inside with fat bacon before fill
ing. Fasten bacon over the back; baste
liberally while cooking. "When partly
done, dredge over with flour and baste
again. Have the fire a hot one. Serve
at once from oven, placing the bacon on
a separate dish.
Spanish method Slice one large onion,
one chilli pepper, and four medium sized
tomatoes into stewpan and bring to a
boll. Cut the hare in pieces and put In
as soon as it boils; add one teaspoon of
salt and enough hot water to cover.
"When nearly done thicken with flour and
addjiutter the size of an egg.
French method Soak the hare over
night in equal parts of salted vinegar and
water. Put one-fourth cup of butter In a
frying pan, and a sliced onion and fry till
a light brown. Wipe tho hare with a
dry cloth, put in the pan and cover with
claret, letting it simmer slowly for two or
three hours.
Roast with onions (Creolcd) Place a
layer of onions in the bottom of the pan,
then a layer of the meat neatly cut; add
another layer of onions and alternate with
meat until the pan Is filled. A double
roaster Is best, as It keeps in the steam
more thoroughly. No water is needed, as
that is furnished by the onions.
Boiled Soak 15 minutes In warm water
to draw the blood. Skewer as hereto
fore directed. Put In kettle with enough
hot water to cover, boll until tender.
(Time according to age.) Dish and
smother with mushrooms, onions, liver
sauce or parsley and butter, as preferred.
If liver sauce Is used, boll the liver a
little while and mince or rub through a
sieve before adding to sauce.
Curried Cut into joints and place in
stewpan with two tablespoonfuls of drip
pings or butter and sliced onions to suit.
Brown well and add a pint of soup stock.
Mix a tablespoonful each of flour and
curry until smooth in a little water;
place in pan and add pepper and salt;
a teaspoon of mushroom powder; let it
simmer for an hour or so. Add juice of
half a lemon and a little parsley. Serve
with boiled rice piled around It at side
of platter. "Water instead of stock may
be used if the latter is not at hand.
Potted Cut in pieces and place In a
stone jar. Fill the space between meat
pieces with veal and bacon, a pound
each, cut to dice; mix with liver of hare,
also cut fine; add a tablespoonful of
mace, cloves and black pepper and salt.
Place thin slices of bacon on top, and
a bay leaf if liked. Cover with a lid of
plain paste made of flour and water. Set
the Jar in Jan or pot containing water
and bake In a slow oven. Keep from
burning by placing a greased paper over
the paste. Put no water to the meat.
When dono set away to cool, then pound
pieces of the hare, veal and bacon to a
paste, mix in gravy from the bottom
when boiled almost dry. Add more sea
soning If needed. Press solid Into cups
or small jugs, covering pot with melted
butter, and set away In a cool place.
Jugged Cut In pieces and season with
pepper and salt, fry brown and season
with a little thyme and chopped parsley,
nutmeg, cloves, mace, grated lemon peel,
and add a couple of anchovies. Place a
layer of the pieces Into a wide-mouthed
Jar. then a layer of thinly sliced bacon
and so on with alternate layers. Add
two gills of water, cover and put In cold
water, boiling three or four hours. Re
move the Jar, take out the unmelted
bacon and make a gravy of a little but
ter, flour and ketchup. Some add a little
grated lemon peel.
Fricasseed Lay the pieces in cold water
a little while, drain well and place In
saucepan with pepper and thin slices of
pickled pork. Cover with water and let
simmer for 30 minutes. Add chopped
onion and parsley, a blade of mace and
a clove or two If liked. Make a smooth
flour paste, stir in and lot simmer until
the meat is tender, then add half a cup
of cream. If too thin add more flour. Boll
up once and serve hot.
A la Maryland This method Is copied
after the style of serving terrapin at the
South Atlantic seaboard. It makes a rare
dish. Boll the pieces in a small amount
of water, using a covered vessel to re
tain the steam. "When thoroughly done
pour over a cream gravy to which has
been added a little California sherry. A
flour gravy will answer If cream is not at
hand. Serve hot.
Fried Use equal parts of lard and beef
suet and have It deep enough to cover
the hare. Cut in pieces. Roll in flour
and fry In the boiling fat, turning fre
quently, and keep covered until nearly
done, salting lightly after the first turn
ing. Patties Use the whitest meat and mince
fine with suet. Braise the bones and cook
In a stewpan with salt, pepper, nutmeg,
grated lemon pel, ec, and let simmer
x til the flavor is secured. Thicken with
flour and butter and stew until quite
hot. Bake the patties in patty pans
and half fill with the mince. Put on
covers. The whole process will take about
an fcour.
Broiled Broil in salted water for five
minutes, dry and broil as quickly as pos
sible. Dish on a hot platter and season
with salt and butter.
Liver Entree Boll the liver until tender
and cut Into pieces. Make a brown gravy
and pour over the pieces. Garnish with
mushrooms. This makes a very delicious
dish.
Roast Prepare a stuffing by chopping
fine onfe-quarter pound of salt pork and a
small piece of onion. Pour boiling water
over six Boston crackers, then chop with
the pork.- Season with sage, salt and
pepper, adding what boiling water is nec
essary to moisten it, and stir in one egg.
Wipe dry the hare, fill it with the stuffing
and lard with small strips of salt -pork.
Allow 20 minutes for each pound. Put a
piece of butter as large as an egg la a
cup, fill with boiling water and use it to
baste the hare while roasting.

Police Much, Feeling.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Aug. 4.
Emma Kldwell, a 15-year-old girl, was
brutally assaulted by an unknown' man
at 3 .o'clock this afternoon, in the suburbs
of Walla Walla. The man had thrown
her upon the ground, when she screamed.
Then he pulled out a pocket-knife and
stabbed her several times In the region
of the heart and ran away. The girl is in
a critical condition.
Late tonight a man answering the mea-
ger description given was arrested by.the
police. He was taken to the County Jail,
and soon the news spread that the bruto
had been captured. Whether he Is the
right man or not Is a question, but a
crowd gathered and angry murmurlngs
were heard. For the sake of precaution
the authorities took their prisoner out
to the penitentiary, where he can be
safely guarded. The feeling is very in

HOPGROWERS TO COMBINE.
Reports and. Discussions at a Sae
rnxnento Meeting.
SAORAMBNTO, Aug. 4. A meeting of
the directors of tho California Hopgrow
ers' Association was held here today.
Secretary Lovdale read news from the
hopgrowing section of this state and Ore
gon, showing that the growers heartily
Indorsed tho object of the association,
which is to decrease the surplus. Reports
from prominent growers of California
were to the effect that the crop was short
from 23 to 50 per cent In different sections.
Henry Ottenhelmer, a hop dealer at
Salem, Or., explained what had been ac
complished by the Hopgrowers" Associa
tion of Oregon, which was formed for
the same purpose as the California organ
ization. He said his firm was so (well
pleased with the brewer plan and could
see such future success for the hop In
dustry that they will guarantee the grow
ers of Oregon 15 cents per pound for all
sound hops grown in that state, provided
they will destroy or leave unharvested
25 per cent of their crops throughout.
Mr. Ottenhelmer said that should tho
price of hops go above that figure they
will retain a 25 per cent commission on all
above the guaranteed price.
The directors, after considering the rc
rorts of the different sections of the state
in regard to crop prospects, concluded
that inasmuch as Nature had reduced the
surplus to such an. extent, it would not
be necassary to carry out the plans of

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Most oi Porcupine Mining District
on British Side ot the Line.
SEATTLE. Aug. 4. O. H. TIttman,
United States Commissioner In the mat
ter of the International boundary between
Alaska and Canada, arrived from the
North today. He and F. W. King, the
Canadian Commissioner, have been set
ting monuments In accordance with the
agreement reached in the modus vivendl.
Tittman states that Glacier, Boulder,
Rock and other creeks, which the miners
claim constituted a portion of the Porcu
pine district, aro now in British territory.
He said:
"Porcupine River and all of its affluents
are defined by the modus vivendl. Gla
cier, Boulder and Rock Creeks are on the
Canadian side, and will be so long 'as the
modus vivendl line Is recognized.
"It Is difficult to tell what constitutes
the Porcupine dlstict. The miners think
it includes a great many creeks and riv
ers not tributary to the Porcupine. I
understood they claim Glacier. Boulder,
Rock and other streams to be in tho so
called Porcupine section. If that is a fact
then much of the Porcupine camp lies on
the British side. Certainly, Glaclar,
BouiSer and Rock do. Glacier runs north
and south, and practically parallel with
Porcupine. No matter where the line
runs, all claims staked in the disputed
Porcupine territory prior to the time the
modus vivendl took effect, October 20,
1S99, will remain Intact, in accordance
with the terms of the modus vivendl."
