LOUIE T.--Your rabbit-hutch should be in a dry place, and should have
two apartments. The sleeping-room should be boarded in, only you must
have a door which you can open to clean it and supply it with fresh
straw. The other apartment should have grated sides, and there is where
the food should be placed. You must feed your rabbits regularly two or
three times a day. They should have oats or bran for dry food, and
carrot tops, cabbage leaves, and fresh clover frequently. If you have a
yard, let them run in the grass an hour or more every day during warm
weather.

K. Post's request in YOUNG PEOPLE No. 22 for long English words, has
been answered by Bertha F. H., H. P., Hattie N., Thomas J. F., Albert
H. E., Kent K., Emily J. M., Fanny S., Bertie C., H. H. M., Edith C.,
Willie H. H., Herbert N. T., G. A. Page, and others. To print all the
words sent would occupy too much space. We give only a few of the
longest. Supervacaneousness, unconstitutionality, interchangeableness,
incomprehensibleness, anticonstitutionalist, disproportionableness.
_Smile_s and _beleaguered_ have also been suggested, as one has a mile,
the other a league, between the beginning and the end.
