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

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

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

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
