"I've Lea d a good many yarns about snakes," said n old hunter, "but I can relate some experiences to make your hair stand up. As a woodsman I didn't mind meeting with a lattler now and tbeD, and I've got up In the morn ing to shake them off my blanket; but there was one time when I was really broken up. It was on the Upper tecos Hirer, Xevr Mexico, before the war. I was in the mountains to the north of where Tort Summer now stands There was a sort of trading post there then and about company vi soldiers were stationed there. When you come to talk about rattlesnakes, you want to go to Xew Mexico to find the biggest, sassiest, and hardest biter of the lot. lie is always ready for a row, and it's immaterial to him whether he rattles before he strikes or waits ten jiiutes afterwards. Some rattlers wirawl away from you sooner than have a row, but these New ilexico fellers won't budge until they are whipped. "1 was sort of prospecting and hunt inir tozetLer. and It was midsummer. I had toggled up a sort of shanty to keep the weather out, and was getting alonz as well as couiu ue expeciea ueu I U-gfn to notice an Increase in the number of rattlers. I'd come across 3ne every hour or two, instead of one in two days, and I bad several narrow isrjitifi from beins bitten. It struck me that ii."7 were also unusually sassy, but I went on with my work, and didn't set too much upshot. I had marin mv shantv azainst a sort of cave in the side of a reeky bill, and the fire bv which I cooked my fodder and warmed myself was at my door a leetle inside of it, perhaps, ua me evening of which 1 am writing in par ticular, the weather changed cold, ana I built an unusually hot fire to keep the chills oil. My bed was crosswajs of the shanty, and nearer the fire than thebact end. When I lay down it was with my face to the (Ire, and I had a heavy Indian blanket covering me from toes to ear?. I went to sleep di rectly, and I reckon I should have put in the whole night without a break if somei.hiig hadn't wriggled over me and woke me up. I didn't fling off the blankets and muse up because I had banished sleep. Your old woodsman learns better than that the first year of his experience. I lav there wondering what had aroused me, and feeling some anxiety for fear a bear Lad scented me out, wnen mere was another wrlle. and then I got a winter. A hiss or two warned me of the nature of my visitors, and as soon as my eyes got a bit used to the semi-darkm-ss 1 got a shock to take my breath away. The lire had burned down to a bed of coals, but between me and it I could make out a dozen wrig gling objects, and I knew they were snakes. They had crept out of the rocks behind me, attracted by the light and warmth, and every one must have run over my body. The space was getting crowded, and the pres ence of the last comers was apparently objected to. About the time I got it through my head what was going on a brand fell down and made a little blaze, and by this increased light I counted eleven old rattlers between me and the lire. A few were coiled up aLd apparently taking solid comfort, but others were running about In a trisky way and now and then coiling around each other. "As I told you, I was covered clean up except my head, and I'd have cov ered that up mighty quick If I had dared to move as much as a finger. There was only one way to get out of the shanty, and so long as the snakes held that 1 must remain quiet. 1 shut my eyes and tried to keep my mind on something else, but In less than five minutes I was sweating like a trotting horse, and it required all my nerve to keep from springing up. I could stand the situation better with my eyes open, and pretty soon I was considerably en couraged by seeing most of the snakes curl up close to the lire and go to sleep. There were two big fellows, however, who seemed determined to have it out, and w hen they got the lloor to them selves they went at it to kill. In their struggle they twice brushed my face, and twice one of them chased the other over my body. One of them was finally crowded into the fire, and he threw up the sponge and ran out doors. The victor curled himself up, and for the next two hours not a snake moved. I miclit, perhaps, have rolled myself to the back end of the shauty, but that would not have bettered the situation. "When the snakes moved it would be towards t!;eir quarters in the rock, ana If I stood in their way, it would be all day with me. I could see the starlight sky over the smouldering fire, and you can guess how anxiously I watched for the coming oi day. It was fuliy two hours before daylight came. The fire bad by this time died almost out, and the snakes had begun to grow uneasy. One after another uncoiled himself and crept lazily about, but not one made the least move to retreat over my body or go out by the front way. "1 was now suffering a thousand tor ments from having lain so long in one position, but I dared not move even a finger. The sweat trickled into ioy eyes, and 1 hardly dared to wink. It had been daylight three-quarters of an hour when 1 felt that 1 bad got to make a move, even if it was into the jaws of death. My only show was to roll over towardsthe back of the shanty and make a grab for my gun. If there VfT T "T,akes curled up back of me a was a goner. . .,..a nnn) not frightened by the discharge of the gun I would surely get bitten. I had just drawn a full breath to make ready lor the move, when every snake sud denly slipped out by the front way and whisked out of sight. You can guess I wasn't long getting hold of my gun, and as soon as 1 could get the numb ness out of my legs I advanced to re kindle the fire. Then I saw the snakes congregated around aud darting their fangs into a big toad thirty or forty leet away. It was his hopping by the doc rway which drew them out. I got the lire blazing, and then went at the serpents with rocks and clubs, and had the satisfaction of killing four or live ol them. When the others had escaped me I returned to the shanty to hang out my blankets and cook breakfast. 1 pulled the steaming blankets to the door to give them a shake, and out dropped a rattler w lib a body almost us large as my arm. which made a pass at me and disappeared under a ledge before I was ready to act." : .

The sewage is decidedly weak then,, and mT be run off with Impunity into the streams. Additional proof is thus afforded of the efficiency of mlnera- salts in precipitating organic impuril ties. Similar applications of mineral charged waters may be made elsewhere. A recent writer on beating green- bouses aud conservatories says that tha secret of successful heating is to raise the temperature of the water in a short space of time so as to cause it to flow through the radiating pipes with such velccity that it may return to the boiler before Iosimr all its heat, - This is achieved by bringing the water under the fire in email continuous bodies, and if this is carried out the radiating pipes can be reduced in size with advantage and economy.

She gives at her best nearly seven times her own weight per annum in milk, of food value twice as great as the beef creature of equal size gains during tue same time. When cows take a fancy to eat wood, lick earth or chew bones it is an indication that they are suffering from indigestion. Give each cow a pint of linseed oil or a pound of melted lard, and after that bran slop for a few days, and f-ey will probably leave off eating wood or other rubbish. Ventilate the building where your poultry is kept daily, no matter how cold the day may be. let the foul air out, and the fresh air in amongst the birds.
