BREEDING AND CARE OF RABBITS 



the rabbits can scarcely move about in them, and a dis- 

 infectant is never used. It is small wonder your 

 rabbits have the snuffles! 



Dr. Ochs, 300 Maple Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois, 

 a member of the National Association, has dis- 

 covered an excellent cure for snuffles in form of a 

 vaccine which has produced some wonderful cures. 

 It is to be regretted that the Doctor is too busy with 

 his other work to exploit the Cure. 



Snuffle Cure. Stramonium Leaves and Saltpetre. 

 Make a smudge of this preparation and force the 

 rabbits to inhale it. For small rabbits an old fash- 

 ioned steamer used for making puddings can be 

 used. Make the smudge on the bottom of the steam- 

 er, then place the rabbit on top of the inside vessel, 

 place the cover on and leave only a moment at a 

 time. The cover should be full of holes to keep the 

 rabbit from smothering. Some druggists have the 

 above named articles prepared, ready for use. 



Oil of Eucalyptus 1 drachm ; liquid petroleum 1 

 ounce. Use in atomizer two or three times a day for 

 colds and sufTles. Boil one pint of tar in enough 

 water to make one pint of liquid, strain, add one tea- 

 spoonful of camphor, one teaspoonful of oil of euca- 

 lyptus, shake well and use in atomizer or dropper two 

 or three times a day for colds and snufifles. 

 If conditions are favorable for curing snufiEles, 

 you are ready to proceed, but if they are not favorable, 

 you have a mighty hard proposition ahead of you. 

 In high altitudes one is seldom troubled with snuffles,
