In answer to inquiry, would say that
the only way to be rid of the weevi is to
keep grain in clean place and to spread
out until thoroughly cured, so as to
avoid heating. 1t is very difficult to
clean a place where weevil has been prev
alent, as they and other grain pests hide
in the cracks and seams of the bin, and
no cold of winter will certainly kill them.
The germ of the weevil is often in grain

and only awaits suitable amount of

How RInch Bnss spawn.

For several days past we have had the
rare good fortune TO watch the opera
tions of dozen bass on their spawning
bed, and an interesting sight Il is. About
the last of May, +. 5. Pease, the artist,
caught some fine bass and placed them
in a large spring, which is n hexagonal
incosure of six feet diameter, walled up
to three feet above the water line. Here
they seemed to thrive, and a few days
ago we put in some shovelfuls of gravel
and coarse pebbles, and were not sur
prised TO find they had soon made their
bed ON it, and were ready to spawn.
Creeping cautiously to the edge and
peering over, we soon had the satistac-
ton of seeing Just how they dk it. Most
of the fish were keeping shady under a
plank float left for the purpose; but pres
emily one of them scullcd leisurely out
and settled over the bed with "short,
uneasy notion" which soon changed to
brisk jerking of her side against the
bottom, her bright belly cleaning like
silver as she coursed round a ID round
siirfing (Seth Green's word) her spawn
over the same spot at every turn. We
could not see that any of them worked
in pairs, and concluded that the Dlilt and
spawn both sunk at once to the bottom
and fastened themselves to the gravel,
and as there was no current to wash them
away (as in brook.trout spawn beds),
pairing was not necessary TO the impreg.
nation of the ova. For about week
this spawning has been goiEg on, retarded,
perhaps, by the cold spring water; but
the interesting young mothers seem 10
he "doing as well as could he expected. !"
When the bass were put into the spring
it was infested with vegetable growth,
usually called "frog spittle," which has
now quite disappeared; and the question
