THE BELGIAN HARE.
If You have a Little Money and
few Spare Moments You
Can Raise Them.
The latest acquisition to our domestic
animals and, in some respects, superior
to any which contribute to our food
supply, is the Belgian hare. The Bel
gian hare is exceedingly domestic in its
nature and can thriye in close confine
ment, doing well in small boxes in back
yards, or in any convenient corner in
and about the residence or barn.
For cleanliness we have no other do
mestic animal that will compare with it.
^nctiyely clean in all its habitj
oicial that we know
and about the reddehc^withouF serious
objection. The Belgian ban is so scru
pulously clean, when given intelligent
care, that no fault can be found with it
bv the most fastidious.
'We have no meat producing animal
that is so easily and cheaply supplied
with food aB the Belgian hare. Its de
mands are exceedingly small, nor does
it require the frequent attention that
most domestic animals do. It will
thrive on the trimmings of garden veg
etables or hay alone. As a meat pro
ducer the Belgian hare stands at the
very head of all our domestic animals,
not only in the superb quality of the
meat, but in quantity as well. It will
many times excel in the latter regard
any-animal that can he kept in equal
space and at no greater expense. The
delicate and richly flavored meat it pro
duces is pronounced by our epicures as
superior to that produced by any do
mestic animal or fowl. It is claimed
that no sweeter or more palatable meat
was ever served for human iood.
The Belgian hare is the most prolific
of any animal that has been domestica
ted. In this respect it is a marvel. It
will produce its young every sixty days
and on an average of from eight to
twelve at a time. At the age of four
months it will dress from lour to live
pounds, and the bones will weigh but a
few ounces. With due attention and
lew
ordinary success over two hundred an
imals may be produced in one year from
a single pair.
The Belgian is a beautiful little fellow,
graceful in form and action, clean in its
habits, and in every way a most inter
esting animal to care for, every atten
tion being reciprocated by the most af
fectionate notice. It is so docile a child
may handle it with perfect freedom, and
is susceptible of such high development
that the fancier may grow enthusiastic
over it. Its graceful shape, dainty feet,
rich color, silken fur, beautiful ticking
and delicate laced ears are points which
delight bis heart. These in connection
itb its affectionate disposition make it
for the fancier one of the most delight
ful and interesting animals. Not alone
is
the
Belgian desirable for its meat and
the fanner, but its fur and skin are also
valuable.
The Belgian hare business seems to be
especially adapted for the employment
ol women. To many it has proven
more renumerative and far easier than
clerking, book keeping, typewriting,
teaching and other lines of work usually
followed by women.
The business also offers advantages to
those possessing small capital, as it re-,
quires but little cash to get started,'and
by proper attention only a short time
will pass before the cages will be well
tilled. The Belgian hare can be success
fully bred auy where in the country.
Right here in Leon we have a rabbitry
owned by F. D. Close which contains
some of the best bred hares in America.
It has at its head Imported Lord Kose
bery, a fine buck which scored officially
96 points, the highest score ever given
to a buck in America. His sire was
Champion Edinboro, winner of first
prize at Barton, first and two specials at
Loughborough, first cup and two spe
cials at Edinboro, first and special at
Rugby, first medal at Northampton and
many other prizes. He by Lincoln
Mvaterj', the sire of the '99 Palace Cup
doe. Kosebery's dam was Champion
Noble Queen, she by Maltoc Mystery,
winner of 40 prizes.
The Duke of Banbury jr. is another
fine buck which he purchased direct
from the California Kabbitry at Los
Angeles, Calif., the largest rabbitry in
America.
The does are all finely bred and pedi
greed, and then is no better Belgian
stock^gny where than that in they Leon,

The Mt. Ayr Record in its last issue
had the following interesting account of
the foot ball game which the Mt. Ayr
team played with the Leon boys Thanks
giving day:
'Talking about foot ball playing, for
unadulterated nerve and grit the Mt.
Ayr eleven will not take aback seat for
the state university team or any aggre
gation representing the big eastern col
leges. Why, the performance of Cap
tain Sutherland and his boys at Leon on
Thanksgiving day was simply marvel
ous.' The speaker was a gentleman
who takes great interest in athletics,
and more particularly, that kind of ath
letics exploited by the Mt. Ayr foot ball
team. When the news came that Leon
had won the game by a score of 5 to 0,
regret was written over his countenance
but when he had beard all the details,
be consoled himself in this wise: 'Con
sidering the odds against which they
had to contend, our boys do not need to
feel discouraged. On the contrary,
they should feel as proud as though the
actual score was in their favor. They
knew when they went to Leon it was to
contest with a strong team, but they
did not expect to play against the cham
pion fat men's club of southern Iowa.
The heaviest man in Captain Suther
land's team only weigned 17S pounds,
while there were three men in the cen
ter of the Leon line who tipped the
beam at a total of 670 pounds. The
smallest man and the only light weight
on their team weighed 162 pounds. Now
think of a lot of our school boys going
up against a combination like that. It
is another instance of David and Gol
iath. There was the principal of the
l^eon schools, who played center, and he
weighs. 225 pounds if he weighs an
ounce. There was also a blacksmith
who couldn't get enough exercise shoe
ing horses and he had to go to playing
foot ball to keep down bis weight. He
weighed 250 pounds when in condition
and played right guard. The left guard,
Wade Warner, is an old base ball play
er, once a member of the famous Ma
roons, and bis avoirdupois is something
like 200 pounds. When be bad the ball
and was down on the ground, all that
was necessary to make a gain of a ard
for Leon was easily accomplished by
him rolling half way over. Jimmy
Hurst, another base ball star, erstwhile
twirier of the Maroons, played quarter
back. The entire aggregation was com
posed of full grown men and they out
weighed our boys 30 pounds to the
man.
'I suppose Captain Sutherland's heart
must haVe sunk within him when be
got a look at his antagonists Thursday
morning. With a do or die spirit, he
called his braves around him, led them
to a sequested spot outside the city
limits where they were secure fifom the
trying gaze of tbe enemy, and put the
oys through signal practice. He then
joys
gave them a lecture on the superiority

A Gift to Give-
It is often difficult to decide what to
get your friends for holiday gifts. Here
is a suggestion:
"Good morning Jennie, I have
lUgbt ycm.. *v nice present," said
Gertrude, Yhanded her- -friend a
neallv^mp.- /ackage.
The pale weary looking girl, who was
slowly recovering from a severe illness,
opened the bundle and held up a large
bottle of clear, rich medicine.
"Hood's Sarsaparilla!" she exclaimed.
"I have been reading about it to-day
and wished I had a bottle."
On New Year's Day Jennie was able
to be out on the street, and to her
friends who remarked how well
8be
was
looking she simply said, "Hood's Sar
saparilla," and every one of them knew
it was this great medicine that had given
back her health.

of mind over mere matter, wherein lay
their hope of success. His spiel had the
desired effect, and like Spartacus to the
gladiators, his men left the rendezvous
filled with an enthusiastic determina
tion to distinguish themselves on the
gridiron. The boys went back to their
hotel, ate a hearty dinuer, feeling con
fident that victory was within their
grasp.
'As Leon is the home of Joe Warner,
one of stars of the S. U. I. team, the
entire population is interested in foot
ball and was out to see the home team
wipe the earth with our boys. The
knowing ones said the score would be
at least 30 to 0 in favor of Leon. They
are wiser now. When the two teams
lined up to play, it must have seemed
like a battle between pygmies and giants.
The big fellows expected' to win in a
hop,step, skip, jump. Imagine their
surprise when the first half ended with
out a score for either side. When that
onderous center with its 670 pounds of
umanity attempted a rush, our boys
dropped on their hands and knees, dug
their toes in the mud and there they
stuck, wbile their opponents sprawled
over their backs. Nothing could stop
the Leon formation any other way. Our
boys would have been swept off their
feet. But they remembered Captain
Sutherland's instructions of the morn
ing and neatly blocked every rush until
tbe Leon rooters began to look worried.
Several of the Leon players had received
jme hard jolts and gloom had begun to
settle over their camp, when they re
sorted to a trick play and secured a
touchdown. They failed to kick goal.
By that time out boys were so tired that
they Vere glad when time was called, as
they had practically played their oppo
nents to a standstill and compelled a di
vision of honors. Then think of the
wonderful exhibition of nerye in going
into that game. It was nsxt to sure
death if any member of the Leon team
had ever fallen squarely on a Mt. Ayr
player, and it took some pretty lively
dodging to ward off that disaster. The
home team also bad the encouragement
of a thousand rooters, as against three
for Mt. Ayr. Before the game was over,
however, the tide of popular favor had
turned and our boys had a friend in
every spectator. Every Mt. Ayr player
was a star.
'The winners acknowledge that they
were bard pressed, and that the visitors
were a regular surprise party. It was a
clean stiff game throughout. The treat
ment of the Mt. Ayr team was very cor
dial, and the boys say they never had a
better time. To say the least, Mt. Ayr
has demonstrated that when it comes to
football, some other club besides that
which calls Leon it's home, will have to
do the showing.'
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lily, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says: "I was taken with
typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. I was so
weak I couldn't even bit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of Dr.
Sing's New Discovery. One bottle gaye
great relief I continued to use it, and
now Km well and strong. I can't say
too much in its praise." This marvel
ous medicine is the surest and quickest
cure in tbe world for all throat and lung
trouble. Regular sizes 50 cents and $1.

If the old saying about the first three
days of December ruling the winter is
coriect, we are to have a very mild
season. Saturday was a bright, pleas'
ant day, Sunday was a little cooler
and cloudy, but not cold, arid Monday
was about the same, with indications
of snow. If the winter continues this
way, it will ntit be very hard on the
coal pile. It might be well, however,
to be prepared for some cold weather,
as each winter usually gives us a few
cold waves. jl
