RESERVE OCTOBER 16 FOR THE GRAND OPENING OF THE New Belgrave Co -Op Store Char for fun Recently e Seaor, **won Expositor carried n `fullage feature entitled "Bunny BRess Booms" in which the expe>1'les of three Seaffpr men Were ,out- lined. These are plewho We, for various reasons, gone WO. the business of raising rabbits tekthe commercial meat market. Two off these men, by coihci- dence, are members of the Seaforth town council, one of whom, Charlie Campbell, Is a former Wingham resident. Son of Robin Campbell, he is married to the former Peggy Ahara, also off Wingham. According to the Expositor story, Charlie laughs a bit about their business sideline which was a mere hobby two years ago. He and Jim Crocker started out with two does and a buck and pur- posely kept the operation 4 until they "knew what they were doing". Now they maintain a stock of about 100 animals at their barn in Tuckersmith Town- ship. The ,Crocker -Campbell part- nership used to take their finished animals to a third party for slaughter, but found that method foo inconvenient. Now they do their own killing, dress- ing and freezing. Fryer rabbits are sold largely to ethnic custom- ers in the city and bring about $4.00 each. Sold as breeding stock they will bring about $7.50.. In addition to raising rabbits which bring a good market price, for human consumption the two men have entered their best ani- mals in several shows, in one of which they recently won the award for best of breed. Bugs Bunny of TV cartoon fame, with his big front teeth, is nothing better than an unhealthy throwback, say the Seaforth men. W.

CHARLIE CAMPBELL Buck teeth in rabbits are a sign that two animals with recessive genes have been mated, Progeny with this "trade mark" are un- desirables in the profitable herd. Despite Bugs' ability to tear into a carrot, it has been found that in real life rabbits with buck teeth cannot eat properly. Asked about acceptance of rabbit as a part of the weekly menu, Charlie says that the only difficulty is getting families started. "The problem is getting people to try them for the first time. Any way you can cook chicken you can cook rabbit," he declares. , NOTICE IF YOUR ADVANCE -TIMES LABEL READS SEPT. 9-8=7-6-5 YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS DUE Advan ;0S • .
