at first sight who was who, and eyed

inattcntion would be fatal. The viper
was the first to get tired of gazing and
it began to glide away. just then the
hedgehog rushed for the viper's tail,
ana having nailed it fast with his teeth,
it rolled itself up. The hedgehog was
very careful, however, not to cut the
tail off. The viper curled back, and
delivered furious assaults on its ag-
gressor, wrestling and rolling with the
curled-up hedgehog all over the place.
At length the snake, wounded in hun
dred places, died. The hedgehog be-
gan its repast on the tail OF its victim,
and was careful not to eat the head.

EFFECTS OF CROSSING.
where Poultry Raisers Practice IL
Largely, the Result Is Nearly Al
ways Failure.

Crossing the breeds has never given
good results. although a great many
try it, and will continue to do so. In
nearly all cases when the attempt is
made to blend the best qualities of two
different breeds the offspring is not
equal to either parent. hence in the
course of few years there will be no
uniformity, and the stock reverts to
the scrub. Too much mixing is no bet
ter than keeping scrubs. 1t is right
and proper to grade up a common flock
with pure breeds, but to cross two pure
breeds is mistake. Where crossing is
practiced largely. as with poultry, the
result is nearly always failure, there
being no uniformity OF color, size or
laying qualities. Pure breeds are real
ly the results of judicious crossings
and selections and cannot he improved
upon except after years of care and Sc
lection of the best individuals. The
