expected company for dinner and he
thought thatia nice rib roast would
be appropriate: The roast, was 45
cents a pound, weighing five pounds
making the entire piece $2.86. There
was twenty per cent bone in this
particular roast he had. Taking In
the other attendant waste and the
weight of the bone.Into account the

feathers. The coot was 35 cents a
pound, or $2,20 for the whole item.
The actual dressed weight of meat
and bone, ready for the roaster, was
three pounds. Making no deductions
for ths bene, the actual cost of meat
was 70 cents a pound. .
In using some of my meat rabbits
for our Sunday dinner, I try to get
them at the age where they will
weigh about four pound# drooped.
I do this for two reasons: They
are at the proper killing age, and
have arrived at that point where
they return the minimum amount of
gain for the amount of feeding ele-
ments fed them. Out actual expense
in raising this rabbit, overhead a nJ
all considered, was $1.10, We got
some small return for the pelt, from
25 cents to 75 cents. For the email
return, this meat will not coat more
than 25 cents a pound to us, with
a bone deduction of seven per cent
In our estimation the home grown
rabbit filled the bill as well aa eith-
er of the other items. If the home,
breeder or rabbit meat will look at
the project in this manner, he will
see how he can produce an occasion:
al meat item at even less than 50
per cent of the retail cost
Government statistics show that
the retail price of any article le
fifty percent overhead or selling
cost. When the consumer had the
producer are one and the same per-
bon, he pockets this charge. To
produce this meat cheaply, you must
utilize the waste from th, garden
and lawn, feed judiciously, not in a
haphazard war. and not feed expo:
