Harvesting Almonds.


First to bloom in the Spring, the almond is
last to mature in the Fall. The whole Spring
and Summer long il hangs there, a green peach
for all the world, and after the first few weeks
never increasing in size or changing in appear
ance. The seam is deeper than in most peaches,
but not deeper than in the ripe apricot. Late
in August this seam will be seen to have opened
in few of the earliest. The growers anxiety
now reaches its climax. Will his almonds open
aud remain open until harvested. or will the
drupe remain closed, or only partially open
and then close tight again? The whole profit
of the crop may depend on this question. 1t
may cost half they arc worth to pick and husk
them. Just that thing happened this year to
my nearest neighbor, and TO several neighbors !;
while the nuts on this ranch opened better and
husked easier than ever before in the whole
course of its 30 years of almond growing. The
result was, that our pickers earned dollar
and half day picking at half the cost per
pound incurred by our neghbors whose men
earned dollar and quarter day.
The nuts are knocked off the trees with
long poles. Where they have opened nicely
they are allowed to drop on the bare ground,
and are husked as they are picked up. The
picker's delight if he is working by the bushel
or box, is to see the ground covered with nuts
that the stroke of the pole and the impact
against the clods have completely husked, SO
that he has nothing to do but throw them into
his basket. He is lucky indeed if half OF them
come ont that way. Those that do not are
husked with the fingers,

Raising Rattlesnakes.


As it ia usually considered desirable to get
rid of such unpleasant neghbors this is an &C.
cupation quite out Of the common way. An
old hunter, accustomed to all kinds of dangers,
found that there was money to be made in SELL
ing rattlesnake oil to the druggists, and as he
had the good fortune to live among mountains
where rat.lesnakes were plentiful, he con-
Guided 10 try the experiment of rattlesnake
farm.
Instead OF clearing away the rocks from the
side OF the hill on which he had taken up his
abode, he gathered more, until he had made a
regular snake grotto, with plenty Of holes in
il, and everything that snakes could desire for
a residence. Catching the reptiles and intro
ducing them to their new quarters were mere
child's play for SO experienced hand, and the
queer farm was soon progressing finely.
But az the hunter did not wish to receive
calls from his wriggling tenants he took care
to build his own dwelling very substantially
of stone, and cemented it both inside and out
before he stocked the farm. No snake could
get in very easily, even had it been disposed
to leave the charming quarters SO carefully
provided for it; and this feeling of security
was a great help to the courageous man in
managing his colony. Day after day he brought
home fresh recruits, until the assemblage had
reached the respectable number of 10, 600 or 80 ;
and every year about 1900 are killed for the
sake Of their oil, which is used in making lini-
ments. 1t seems strange indeed, that any
healing property should be found in one of the
most venomous of reptiles.
Rattlesnakes, like bears, go into Winter
quarters for long Sleep aud in the Autumn
they are always in their best and latest con-
dition. This is the season, therefore, when
they yield the most oil. and it is known as
killing time" on Rattlcsnake Farm. The
snakes come daily to be fed in cleared spot,
like domestic animals, and are then easily
caught with slip-noose of wire. After being
dispatched, they are taken to the house and
thrown into a caldron to render out the oil.
which is put into heavy bottles and shipped to
wholesale druggists ali over the country.
