OYSTERS.

1t may not be generally known
that according to observations by
Professor Rice at the Cold Spring
hatchery, a healthy, we'll fed oyster,
the surroundings being favorable,
will lay 100000 eggs. OF the
number that acquire she'll the per-
centage is very small, as nearly all
the finny tribe are as fond of oyster
eggs as is man of the mature bIvalve.
5. Being left to shift for themselves,
they are devoured by the million be-
fore the protecting shell is formed.
The eggs hatch in less than a day,
often taking no longer than four
hours, and when Matched they are
free to swim and roam at will, but
in a few days, usually four, they be-
gin to round up and take the shape
of clam. AT this stage they settle
on convenient objects, such as rocks,
peices of iron, clam or oyster shells,
and in fact on any thing that may be
on the bottom. This is the end of
the young oysters freedom, as where
it settles there it remains until torn
off to he transplanted in the oyster
mans beds.
But man is not the only enemy of
the oyster, as the fish lives on oysters
the year round. Its mode of open
inc is a somewhat novel way of
shocking oysters. Settling down
bodily on the young or old oyster,
with its five long arms arranged
around the edge of the shell in such
a way that the moment the oyster
opens it's mouth to breath or feed,
the star fish injects its juice into the
opening, which kills the occupant of
the shell in a short time. Then
commences the feast on raw oyster.
The presence of the fish and his de-
signs are well understood by the
oyster, which will keep as close as a
clam for as long as week OF eight
days.
The other enemy, and is the more
destructive of the two, is the drill, 9
small worm-like snail, that is depos-
tied on the shell in the form of al
| egg, which, as soon as il is Matched
begins boring its way in to the unsus-
pecting occupant. The story is soor
told when once through the pearly
enaEel of the stony armor of the
otherwise defenseless oyster.
Again, according to the profan'
affidavit of an Eastern Shore man
snappers and turtles are the sneal
thieves of an oyster bed, whose
method is different from the birds O
fowls, which catch the oyster, ant
rising to a sufficient height in the al
air drop the oyster on the rocks
then follow and partake of an oyste
hash. The snapper is not so Eighty
but carries the oyster to land, wher
he leaves it to die from exposure
and then calls around and gets
meal good enough for anything tina
takes such a mean advantage of
defenseless mollusk.

A DAIRY SCRAP-BOOK.

There is no better habit that dali
ryman can get into than that of keep
ing scrap-book. There are so many
things that he sees in the papers that
he would like to remember, and just
when he wants to use the informa-
ton some vital point in it is forgot
ten. Then there are semi-scientifc
articles relating to matters that he al
ready has in hand, that he is very
anxious to refer to, as his own mat
| ter progresses. If he cuts these out
and attempts to keep them in draw
er or box, they are almost sure to
get mislaid and lost, and not to be
found when wanted. The objection
to cutting out articles is, that it mars
the paper before others have read the
article, and is lost sight of and for
gotten when they are done with 1t.
Keeping files of papers is great
bother; and all good things are not
to be found in any one or two publi-
cations. The rule of the farm house
should be this, when any one read
ing the papers sees anything they
would like to save, let them put their
private mark upon the article with a
red, blue OF green pencil, just as ed
itors do, then, let it be the duty of
some younger member of the family
when the paper has acquired GER
tain age, to cut these all out and paste
them into the respective scrap books.

Concerning a Curious spider.

and active hunting spiders. 1 have often
seen them side curiously towards fly, leap

lore it succumbed to the venome fangs.
Window sills, especially when facing South
ward, are happy hunting grounds for this
fpider. had often seen spider and fly
tumble together off the window-sill, and
presently the spider returns, still clasping it's
prey, 1t had saved itself from falling to the
ground by spinning thread as it rolled of
the SILL and was able to regain its position
by climbing up the thread. But until lately
l had never seen it leap from perpendicular
wall, and to oil appearances fly back again.
The thread affords the means whereby this
remarkable feat is performed. 1t is ex-
tremely elastic, and when the spider has
reached the end of its leap the thread con-
tracts and jerks again just as child throws
q ball away from him and draws it back to
HE hand by an Iudia rubber thread which
is attached to it.
