Set fresh, fertile eggs, and you will have fine, vigorous chieks if the hen does her duty. Sprinkle the eggs witla tepid water every few claywhen the hen leaves for food and reat ; this is the secret of stolen nests turning out almost every egg. The hen leaves the nest early in the morning, wets herself with dew or water and. at her return shakes her wet feathers over her eggs. Many young chicks are lost at hatching time because the little thinga expend all their strength in trying to get out a the tough lining of the shell, and die of exhaustion. So don't neglect to give a thorough wetting the last day before hatching and do not ap- ply any sulphur the last week of incubation. .in summer provide for ample ventilation and also for coolness around the nesting places. How TO KEEP TRE WEEVIL Our oF PEAS. The weevil never enters these seeds after they are ripe and harvested. Whatever inseota will attack them are already inside of the seeds when they are harvested. Take the pea -weevil, for example ; soon after the blossom withers and the little pod is form. hie, the parent weevil lays her egg or eggs on the outside of his young and tergler pod. The eggs soon hatch, and the little grubs eat then -way through the shell and into the forming seed. In the case of the pea there is usually but one grub in each; while in the bean there are often as many as a dozen. The grab of the pea -weevil grows with the pea, and by the time the seed is mature the grub will be full grown, and has formed a pupa, in which it will re- main dormant until Spring approaches. The pea seeds when harvested may each contain a weevil, which the careless ob- server may not notice. By planting time these will have.awakened from their sleep and the seeds will be full of weevils. All devices to keep the weevils out of in are of no use, as they are already in them when harvested. But we can and should kill the wee 'Is before they escape from the ,r, peas, to pre their increase. Placing the seed peas in a tight jac or box with a little spirits of turpentine is one of the most effective methods. /While we cannot keep the weevils out ar' peas we can kill them while they are in them. Buggy peas will nsually grow, as the grub does not injure Zethe embryo Plant. But the food provided for the young pea plant has been eaten, and the plants from such seeds will be weaker and continue to be less vigorous and pro- ductive. It will be far better to burn the buggy peas and buy a fresh lot. PRoTECTING EORARDS AND VINEYARDS. Our advice, th n, is, if a severe Winter is feared, to take advantage of the snow as a protective covering of the roots of our or- chard trees and vineyards. This can be done by tramping down the first snow that comes, or, what would be more efficient, by means of a horse dragging a light roller over the snow in orchard and. vineyard and re- peating it with every new snowfall, in order to compact it and keep it from blowing off. Such protection would not always be avail- able but often it might be made so and ser- iousloss averted. It cannot be supposed that a snow cover- ing would, in an extreme case, be efficient against harm to the smaller branches or the fruit buds, but it might save the root, and thus, through them, sustain the whole cel- lular system of the stein or trunk and the main limbs. Such treatment might not in- sure a crop of peaches, but it might save the peach orchard from destruction, If the roots can be protected from injury the vi- tality of all parts of the tree is sustained to some extent; and this thought leads us back to earlier protective treatment—to the gen- eral cultivation. Well cultivated trees and vines, those that have been supplied with manure sufficient for their wants, that have had the soil above their roots stirred during the growing season, that have not been en- feebled by crops too heavy to be borne and matured; in a word, that have had their vigor highly maintained—such trees will be far better able to resist the rigors of an un- usually severe Winter, in connection with the adverse conditions of a drought, than those that have been enfeebled by poor cul- tivation and neglect. rt.

Forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, up, up it goes, and at last Capello declares Maximilian wins the contest, one hundred. and sixteen snakes having been killed, he having to his credit sixty-four, Victor hav- ing dispatched fifty-two. - The boys said af- terwards that the reason more were not killed was that these were exceedingly act- ive, and if the contest had. been m the morning Max could have done twenty more easily. Truly this is a wonderful bird. The rancheros say that if a rattlesnake should strike its body where the poison could. get into the blood, that it immediately rune off dart, both see Max, recognize instantly an enemy, coil, and prepare to strike, Now for your cunning, Max. Down he lies on his side, and with his foot scratches the cautions, looks at his watch, raises his hand. Then each bird is thrown into his ring, runs up on top of the hill, gives a "cluck -cluck," and looks eagerly at the boys who handle the scoops. They are both trained to the ring, one can see at a glance, and they know as well as the rancheros what they are expected to do. Max wipes his big strong beak two or three times on the sand. Capello yells to start, one of the boys slowly raises his scoop -net with a rattler in, over the fence, and about two feet above Max's head empties the rattler out. Quick as a flash, Max sa into the air with a spruig, seizes the snake by ,the throat, withhis into the woods, hunts around and gets some powerful beak, lights on the ground, springs kind of root, I don't know what it is, and up again and again, and drops thesnake eats it, which will counteract the effects of i dead just as another s ladled over; time, 20 the poison.

With about six inches of head and neck extended, eyes flashing malignantly, the snake follows the move- ments of Max, waiting for an opening. Up bristles Max, ducks his head, extends his left wing. Like a flash, the snake strikes, the wing receives the blow and carries the snake's head up, down goes Max's head, and crunch into the rattler's throat goes his beak ; up into the air he springs, shake s bis victim once and drops him dead ; time, less thanyou taketo read it. Thenextis waiting; a long, agile, vicious -looking head rises out of the half canted over net. Spring goes Max, and has him in a vise -like grip and drags hini down, scoop and all. Round his body coils the lithe reptile, and Max rolls over, and in the struggle, down the slope they go to the wire fence. He never loses his grip, and the snake is powerless to strike his fangs. A few seconds they struggle at the wire, Max disentangles himself, and not deigning to look at his prostrate adversary runs clucking upthehilI, and opens his beak.
