Rabbit Farming New Industry in Bandon Rabbit farming is one of the in dustries that have grown up In this section of the country during the past year and raising pel stock of thlH variety promises to become a source of Income not to be disregarded. The local demand for the anlmalii for eating is small, ax yet, but In the metropolitan markets the supply is always short and rabbits are con sldered a great delicacy, being served at all of the first class hotels and grills and bringing good prices. The meat is white, tender and juicy and Is said to be the most easily digested of any flesh food With some people there Is a prejudice against eating rabbits on the ground that they are pets. This is hardly true, for rabbit culture has reached a commercial stage that puts it on the same footing with poultry raising and the same prejudice does not hold true In the case of chickens. In speaking of raising rabbits for market, the Cotton tall and Jack va- rietlex are not meant, they not only palatable but also too being less small for profitable culture Fred Colgrove, who hax a large hutch on onn- Ills filar» tn Uo,»*’ gone into the huxinesx on a com- mercial scale. Within the coming year these producers expect to cre- s'e a local market for dressed rab bits, declaring that this meat Is not only more toothsome but also more economical than chicken. In proof of this tlicy point out that a rabbit i has a third more flesh on It Ilian a chicken of the same weight The market price of rabbits is about the same sa that of poultry, bringing around 15 cents a pound alive and from 20 to 25 cents when dressed. However, the cost of rais ing the animals Is much less than chickens and they are ready for the market at an earlier age For eat ing purposes rabbits are best when from three to five months old and at that age they weigh between two and six pounds, averaging about 50 cents each dressed Eighty cents a yeur in tiie average cost of raising them, leaving a profit close to 100 per cent. One hlg feature of rabbit farming lx the small Initial cost to the pro ducer. A pair of blooded stuck cost front 50 cents up, according to ago aud breed and begin to breed at the age of six months. Eight litters, averaging nine rabbits to the litter, Is the usual fecundity of each doe per year, but It Is not advisable to breed them more than six times. The outlay for hutches Is small, ax At rabbits need but little room. the present time Mr. Colgrove lx housing his sixty animals In the loft of a small barn and claims to have room for as many more without crowding They demand little care, outside of being kept dry, and need only a small amount of barley and vegetables ax food. DEFINITE ANNOUNCEMENT MAY COME NEXT WEEK Geo. W Moore has not yet return ed from Toledo, Ore , where business called him during the forepart of last week, therefore no definite informa tion as to when the mill here will open Is to be had There Is a report however, from authentic sources, that a definite announcement con cerning the opening will be made sometime next week
