Quails.

Among the topics discussed at the
late meeting of the Northern Illinois
Horticular Society was that of the value
of quails as a destroyer of noxious in
sects, and the importance of protecting
them against the hunters and farmers
and their boys. Among the entire feath-
cred tribe there is not more harmless
bird. Their notes have been my delight
from my boyhood; because, first, no
criminal charge has ever been preferred
against them second, they are the
most valuable bird friend we have here.
Nearly all other birds leave us in winter,
but the quail stays with US, and when
ever and wherever the ground is bare,
they are constantly engaged in the des-
truction of our insect enemies. 1t is
ascertained by actual examination of
the crop of the quail, at different sea-
sons, that they are mighty insect de-
stroyers, and it will not be surprising if
thcy are found to destroy the potato bug.
During that part of the winter when
the ground is covered with snow, this
little friend of the farmer, as if con-
scious of its claims on their protection,
seek shelter and food about farm-yards
and stacks of grain and hay, and some
times, if not destroyed by the heartless
hunter, starve and perish. One or two
facts, demonstrating the value of the
quail to the farmer, may shield many of
the little creatures from destruction.
A few years since the o. S. Agricul-
tural Report contained the following
fact relating to quails. A boy in Ohio
who watched a flock of quails running
along the rows of corn, presuming they
were pulling up the corn, shot one and
foundin its crop one cut worm, twenty
one striped cucumber bugs and one hum
| dred chinch bugs. A friend of mine rela-
ted to me few days since that farmer,
neighbor of his, adopted measures OF
quail protection on his premises SO eff
| fectual that they had become very
numerous, and often when the ground
was covered with snow, hundred of them
were often seen in his yard. His wheat
crops were usually abundant, while il
was generally destroyed by insects
elsewhere. '@

Seven months on a Cake Of Lee.

Sailed from Bremen, in May, 1869,
steamer Germania and schooner Hansa,
for the North Pole or destruction-for
glory in either case. The steamer win
tered on the east-uninhabited-
of Greenland, in latitude IA, further
north than the coast has been hitherto
known. Her sledge parties went up to
II, but not so far by above FIVE degrees
as American explorers went on the
western shore.
The schooner was frozen in on Sep
tember 10Th, 1869, in latitude 73, nearly
a thousand miles due north of Iceland,
and about twenty miles from the Green
land shore. She sunk in October. In
December their floating island, which
had been some miles in circumference,
broke up in latitude 68. The fourteen
prisoners, among whom were two scien-
lists, took to a comparatively small
piece. Here they continued drifting
down to the southwest till May 7, 1870,
when they took to their boats. June Is
they reached Friedrichsthal mission
station near Cape Farewell. The whole
story sounds more like one of Mayne
Reid's narratives than like actual occur
rences in our day. .....
