The Belgian Hare 
Part II. 
Quality in Stock.— In starting in the 
business, the importance of securing good 
stock cannot be over-estimated. A well- 
bred animal costs no more to keep than a 
mongrel, and only a little more in the 
beginning. This doesn’t mean that one 
must pay a fancy price for a pedigreed 
animal. While a hare with a pedigree is 
likely to be better bred than an unpedi- 
greed one, this is by no means invariable. 
I keep both, and charge more for the 
former than the latter, but not because 
they are better. In fact. I have won over 
pedigreed stock with unpedigreed does, 
where all of the entries were high class 
animals. In buying hares as in buying 
anything else, a pretty safe rule to fol¬ 
low is to send to some reliable breeder, 
get his prices, tell him what you want, 
and let him send you the best he can for 
the money you have to invest. Of course 
if you are breeding for meat alone, weight 
is the most important consideration, but 
if you intend to produce breeding stock, 
don’t let a dollar or two stand in the 
way of getting first class stock to start 
with. 
Avoiding Disease.— While not im¬ 
mune from disease, yet if their hutches 
are kept clean and dry and free from 
drafts, hares are subject to but few ail¬ 
ments. This is especially true of adults, 
for the critical time in the life of a hare 
is between the ages of five and eight 
weeks. Unless the mother produces suf¬ 
ficient milk to properly nourish her 
young, they will, as soon as they leave 
the nest, begin to eat whatever food they 
can find, before their stomachs are strong 
enough to assimilate it. causing indiges¬ 
tion and slobbers. This shows itself by 
their mouth, front parts and feet becom¬ 
ing wot, giving the young animal a very 
repulsive appearance. More hares are 
lost by this trouble than by all other 
causes combined. Ordinary table salt 
rubbed into and around the mouth will 
frequently correct the trouble, and save 
the youngster. When slobbers appear in 
a litter, it is a sure sign that the moth¬ 
er’s supply of milk is insufficient for the 
needs of the family, and more nourishing 
food should be provided. 
The time-honored phrase, “the demand 
exceeds the supply,” is so greatly over¬ 
worked that it means little to the think¬ 
ing person, yet such has been my exper¬ 
ience. While this does not mean that at 
no time have I had a stock of hares on 
hand which I could not readily dispose of, 
it does mean that frequently I have had 
calls for them which I could not sup¬ 
ply. Aside from the demand for hares as 
food and breeders, thousands are used 
every year in all parts of the country for 
experimental purposes in medical colleges, 
laboratories and sanitoriums. Naturally 
sales depend very much upon the price 
asked, and common sense can be used to 
as good advantage in the Belgian hare 
business as in any other. To assume that 
every one who embarks in the business 
will succeed, is quite as absurd as is the 
converse of the proposition.

Lice On Hogs.—I find crude oil ap¬ 
plied with a sprayer the most practical 
way of ridding hogs of lice. If after re¬ 
peated applications their skins become 
hard and crack, it is wise to mix consid¬ 
erable quantity of linseed oil with it. 
Failing crude oil, I find half and half 
mixture of linseed oil and kerosene the 
most efficacious. I have used several dif¬ 
ferent varieties of the hog oilers and find 
them a saver of labor, and quite econom¬ 
ical when there are a number of hogs at 
pasture in the same lot.

Training Dogs.— -As to an article on 
training Airedales I do not think I am 
capable of doing the subject justice. I 
breed a few dogs on the side, and 
the Airedale for my purpose required 
very little training, as I use them 
for watch dogs and for exterminating 
rats, etc., and they take to this 
naturally. All that is necessary is a 
little common sense to keep them from 
learning bad habits while they are young. 
I have had several breeds of dogs, but 
none of them suit me as well as the Aire¬ 
dale. They are not a dog that is bark¬ 
ing all the time, but when there is any 
trouble they are sure to give the alarm. 
They are not quarrelsome, but when 
aroused a bulldog cannot come near them 
for grit, for they are afraid of uothing.
