24 CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF RABBITS 
he is better contented and a better producer 
in a small space. This makes it possible to 
house more rabbits in a given space than any 
other animal. 
Since they are kept in small hutches, one 
may be placed above the other and the 
capacity of the ground available doubled or 
trebled as the case may be. A small corner 
near the fence, for instance, which is only 
five feet by six feet, will easily take care of 
eight hutches along a modified Sanderson 
plan. These eight hutches filled with good 
breeding stock should produce as much as 
eight hundred pounds of rabbit meat within 
the space of one year after commencing 
operations. 
For the benefit of those who are anxious to 
have some figures on the possibilities of rab- 
bits, and who belong to that class who cannot 
enthuse unless they see some real possibilities 
in the form of a good profit, I am going to 
suggest a few “figures”’ which the reader can 
follow to their logical conclusion.
