“EAT MORE RABBIT.”
ADVICE TO ENGLISH PEOPLE. LONDON, March 20. “Eat More Rabbit" is the Ministry of Agriculture’s latest appeal to. cottagers and smallholders to encourage rabbit-breeding as a profitable hobby. An official points out that many breeds of rabbits produce fur which is increasingly in demand for women’s stoles, muffs and coats. It is a pity that many breeders will not eat rabbit, but British people as a whole do not like rabbit. They do not realise what a delicious and edible food it really is. For all that, the importation of Belgian rabbits is increasing simply because English country people do not realise that there is money in careases as well as in pelts. —(Australian Press Association.—United Service.)
