MONEY IN BUNNY
FELTS AND CARCASES INCREASINLY VALUABLE. APPEAL TO BRITISH SMALLHOLDER. United Press Association- —By Electrit Telegraph —Copyright. Received Thursday, .20 p.in. LONDON, March 21. “Eat more rabbit” is the Ministry of Agriculture’s appeal to cottagers and smallholders to encourage rabbit breeding as a profitable hobby. Officials point out that many breeds of rabbits produce fur which is becoming increasingly in demand for women’s stoles, muffs and coats. It is a pity that many breeds are not eaten. British people as a whole do not like the rabbit. They do not realise what delicious edible food it is. .Yet the importation of Belgian rabbits is increasing because English country people do not realise there is money in the carcases as well as in the pelts.
