PREFACE 
This book is published as a guide to breed domestic Rabbits success- 
fully. 
It should prove of special value to beginners and a source of informa- 
tion to the public in general. 
The rabbit is no longer raised merely for the pet fanciers. Its real 
value has been discovered and with its demand far in advance of its supply 
there is every reason to believe that we are approaching a new era in rab- 
bit raising which will result in a thriving, growing industry. 
Many breeders have the idea that in order to make rabbit raising 
profitable it is necessary to raise rabbits on a large scale. But this is not 
true. Many of our largest breeders began by “back yard” rabbit raising. 
We too are privileged with this same opportunity. Chicago and its suburbs 
afford an ideal place for raising rabbits. They can be raised more easily 
and profitably than other domestic animals. 
The Chicago Rabbit and Cavy Breeders Association is doing its bit in 
developing the Rabbit industry and cordially invites all those seeking in- 
formation to communicate with them.
