RABBITS 



FOE 



Stock a.nd Si>ox*tin^ Pui^poses. 



As W. COOK breeds Rabbits on a very large scale he has some to 

 spare for Stock purposes. He has _ 



BELGIAN HARES, SILVER GREYS, 



And a cross between those two breeds. 



They are bred just the same as wild ones, and are bred especially to 

 turn down for fresh blood for those who go in for bi-eeding wild 

 rabbits. They not only increase the size of the wild rabbite, but 

 there are less deaths among them when they are used. When wild 

 rabbits are allowed to in-breed year after year they become too small 

 without fresh blood, and many of the young ones die off between the 

 age of three and six weeks with enlarged livers. 



It is but little u.se to turn down either Belgian Hares, Silver Greys, 



or any other tame rabbits to cross with the wild unless they have 



been bred wild themselves, if so the foxes, stoats, weasels, dogs, or 



poachers cleai' them off at once. 



SILVER GREYS, 4,'- and 5/6 each. BELGIAN HARES, 



5/- and 6 6 each. 



Cposs-Bpeds between Silver Greys & Belgian Hares, 4/6 each. 



If a number is ordered before tliey are full-grown a reduction 

 will be made. 



W. Cook has also some HIMALAYAN, bred in the same way, 

 from 4/6 to 6/6 each. 



They are excellent to turn down with the wild ones where a pei-son 



has an enclosed warren. They cross well, are very hardy, and breed 



wonderfully fast with wild rabbits. 



WILD RABBITS FOR STOCK 



During Se])tember and October, 2/- each ; November and December, 



2/3 each. Ja,nuary— Does, 2/9 ; Bucks— 2/3 each. The wanen they 



are bred in is an extensive enclosure nearly two miles round. 



Any gentlemen wishing to view W. Cook's Rabbit Faim must 

 apply to him for that purpose, as he does not throw his large Farm 

 open to the public the same as he does his Poultry Farm at Orpington 

 House. It is only ladies and gentlemen who will be allowed to visit 

 the Farm by special appointment with W. Cook, as it is between six 

 and seven raile-^ from Orpington House.
