whers the House Fly Breeds.

As s.fiy time approaches every house
keeper wonders where and how the increas-
ing swarms of pests multiply 50 rapidly
The egss mere whitish specks to the IN
aided eye, afe laid in little agglutinated
piles in warm manure or in decomposing
vegetation, especially that about our stables
and barn yards From SO to 100 are laid
at time, and probably at three to four diff I
ferent intervals BY the same fly, though ON
this point we have no exact data. Within
twenty-fou hours in summer, they hatch
into fcotless maggots, which, after rioting
in filth till their tender skins seem ready to
burst from repletion, become fulfilled IN less
than week, and descending into the earth,
or shelteriag under some old board, contract
to brown, shining objects, rounded at both
ends. and Technically known as pUparia
Within the darkness of this hardened skin
profound changes rapidly takeplace and the
insect passes through the pups to the per-
fest state. and finally, ID about FIVE days.
the anterior end Of the pupsrium IS pushed
off and the ay quickly crawls out. At
first It's parts are pale and soft and its wings
are crumpled and useless, but these soon
expand, and suddenly, without practice or
teaching, the new fledged fly wings its way
to your table to mock your displeasure ITO
share your repast, The length Of time re-
quired from Matching to maturity varies
with the season and temperature but win
NOS exceed ten days in midsummer while
the life of the perfect fly lasts about three
weeks at the same season. AS cold weather
approaches propagation ceases, and the older
flies perish 4 few of the more vigorous
females, however, retreat to some nook or
Granny, where, in state of torp0r, they
survive until the ensuing season-links
'twixt the summer gone by and to come
The insect may also hibernate in the pupa
state in the ground. In rooms kept CON-
tinuously warm, or in more southern lati-
tudes, the fly remains active allwinter, and

from them by various articles. She warns
the brood of danger by single loud cluck,
and the moment they hear it they disperse
in every direction, and squat so close to the
ground, in the tall grass or grain, that it is
almost impossible to detect them without
the aid of a dog. They remain in cover
until the mother announces that the danger
is over and calls them to her side.
They are so fully developed BY the fif-
teenth of August, although only hatchedin
June, that they afford excellent sport, as
they are strong on the wing, and their fight,
though regular, is rather swift. Being fast
runners, they generally try.to escape on
foot before they attempt to use their pin
ions. The young males are so exceedingly
combative, that members of the same brood
indulge in contests in the autumn, but these
are generally suppressed by the mother be-
fore they lead to bloodshed.
Audubon says that the males which he
had domesticated were conspicuous for their
courage, and would even fight the turkeys
and dunghill cocks rather than yield their
ground. They were more pugnacious in
spring than at any other time, and strutted,
footed, and fought each other as they in
the wild state. He found the birds of both
sexes readily amenable to domesticatioD,
for he had sixty in his garden at one time,
and they became so tame during the winter
that they would feed from his hand These
we're bred in confinement, but the broods
were so destructive to vegetation that he
was compelled to kill them.-American
.Aq1icaltaqist

The prairie Chicken is regarded BY many
as a bird Of superior favor and delicacy.
Its general color is bsackish-brown, varied
with tawuy; the threat is buff, aud the vent
and under tail.coverts are white Il carries
the well-known distensible sacs ON each side
Of the neck, and the. liftle wings or tufts
which have given i the specific name 1t
bears
! When the fnales are soliciting the com
paay Of tho opposite sex in the spring, they
initiate these saes to the size Of small
orange, expand the wihglets, spread and
erect the tail. and commence booming, or
tooting, long before daYbreak, and continue
it until sunset in places where they are nu7
merous; but where they are hunted much,
they are seldom heard after sunrise They
are always pugnacious, but unusually 50 at
this period; hence, if two meet, they indulge
in fierce battles, which terminate only by
the flight or death of one Of them When
they are .scalling, the air reservoirs, which
are alternately filed and emptied, produce
sounds not unlike the roll of mufiied
drum. This roll can be heard a mile away
in calm weather; but If the skin is pune
tured it ceases to be resonant, As soon as
the love season is over, the hens leave the
males and build their nests of grass and
leaves in the open prairie or under the
shelter Of bush. The number Of eggs
laid by each varies from ten to sixteen;
these are hght-brownish color, irregularly
spotted with black If the 6rst eggs are
destroyed, another set is laid, but IL not,
only one brood is raised in season.
When the young appear, the mother dis
plays the greatest solicitude for their well
fare, and keeps steadily calling to them
whenever they manifest q disposition to
stray from her side,s IF q man approaches
them she rufies up her feathers and as
sumes combatiye attitude, but she seldom
flies at him, preferring to lead him away

The man in the moon went forth one night
All wrapped in garment siivery white,
More brilliant far than a calcium lights
He swept the sky till it shone again,
And down the hills and over the plain
Lay many a fold Of his glistening train.
And into many house he crept.
With living watchers rigil kept,
And kissed the forehead OF those that slept.
Through chinks Of shutters and cracks so snal
You'd think he'd never get through at all.
The man in the moon was sure to crawl.
All over the ground the siIvery tide
Went flowi.N far. and went flowing wide,
TIL even the desert was glorified.

As it lay on its pillow befrilled with lace,
And seemed TO clasp it in soft embrace.

CASABIANCA OF 1882.
The boy lay on his little bed,

The boy lay on his little bed,
Though oft his mother called
"Get up! Come down to breakfast, Fred ~
''Get up !" his father bawled.
Yet quiet and serene be lay,
As though he heard them not
Opossum did the youngster play,
Though things were getting hot.
The time passed on-he did not start
But took another nap;
His father up the stairs did dart
And gave his door rap.
He cried aloud: "Say, Freddie, say
Why don't you leave your bed?"
But silently young Freddie lay
As though he were quite dead
"Speak, Freddie"-once again he cried,
"For must soon begone
And" but lusty snore replied
Pas patience nearly gone.
Up to his face quick ran the blood
lie tore his auburn hair;
moment at the doorway stood
In still, yet deep, despair.
And shouted gain with tbunderous knock:
While in the hall loud ticked the clock
That grated ON his
with angry push ne opened tne door,
And slammed it to again;
With noisy strides across the floor
To the bed he walked amain.
Then came a sound like threshing wheat,
Or butcher rendering steak;
Hear screams, hear means, hear scampering feet
All Freddie is awake
ringing bell, mothers call,
May sometimes rouse lad,
But the only sure thing after all
Is a father when he's mad.

proachfully.
