BREEDING AND CARE OF RABBITS 



labor charge or the small and more expensive type 

 which requires a minute per hutch. Now, the rabbit 

 family occupying a hutch requires 730 feedings per 

 year. If each requires a minute of time valued at 25 

 cents per hour, the yearly cost would be a little over 

 $3.00. Or again, if the yearly profit from this same 

 hutch is $5.00, the feeder is receiving a little better 

 than 40 cents per hour for his twelve hours' labor. 

 Now there are many plants where the yearly labor per 

 hutch is less than 12 hours, including all cleaning need- 

 ful, and the owners are making very good wages. 

 Therefore, it is evident that where such does not fol- 

 low, the owner should improve upon the methods 

 in use." 



Conclusion 



It is not expected or desired by the writer that this 

 presentation be accepted as final authority, as his 

 experience in Rabbitcraft is unequal to meriting such 

 a claim. Among his friends in Rabbitcraft are many 

 who desire to study out its details, but lack the meth- 

 ods of orderly procedure needful to such an undertak- 

 ing. Such methods are in correspondence with the 

 writer's professional calling and he submits their fruit- 

 age while cheerfully awaiting the appearance of some- 

 thing better.
