Need of Instruction Apparent to All - Recourse Had to Successful Breeders Everywhere - Trustworthy Advice from Old Breeders in England - Most Space in This Course Given to American Breeders and Their Ways - Special Effort to Make the Course Thoroughly Practical - No Disagreement Among Experienced Breeders - Breeders Should Organize for the Good of the Industry.

Need of instruction in the breeding of Belgian hares is apparent to all, whether beginners, dealers, or those breeders who, by experience more or less costly, have learned what might have been theirs at the start, had not the industry then been in a new and unformed state. The ground has been gone over by so many that it would be a pity if the beginner could not have the benefit of their experiences, yet, with the exception of this First Course of Instruction, there is nothing of any kind - outside of trade catalogues, a few pamphlets, and the columns of the newspapers and pet stock journals - of a nature to be of help to the beginner or the expert, and such of the latter-named sources of information are not available unless one has the means to buy, the patience to collect, and the time to read and reflect upon all the various scattered articles.

In compiling this Course of twenty lessons, the plan has been to secure a reliable, authoritative and indispensable guide for all breeders of Belgian hares, whether beginners or not, and first and foremost, in gathering the facts, recourse was had to successful breeders everywhere, as the ones best fitted to give advice. These experiences are given word for word as written or talked by the breeders. The experiences chosen cover every field of the subject, and in presenting them an effort has been made to explain in detail the points which prove most perplexing to the young student as well as the points sought after by the adept.

The Belgian has made great progress in this country, but it should not be forgotten that the industry had its birth in Europe, and it is principally to the breeders of England that we must look for the most trustworthy advice concerning the care of rabbit stock.
