Raising snalls for Market.


France is, perhaps, the premier
snail.producing nation, although Aus
tria, Bavaria and Switzerland have
thousand of snail farms. where th'
famous escargots are raised and fat
tened on vine leaves. The demand
for snails in France is far too great
for the supply to be left to chance
and thus it comes about that snail
farming is an important industry
Paris alone consumes millions between
September and May. when these little
creatures are at their best.
Coming upon a French, German OF
Italian snail farm Unexpectedly one
would not suspect its identity. for be-
yond the low wall or fence intended
to keep the snsils within bounds little
is visible save boxes and cabbages by
the thousand. And in the daytime
you might spend hours in walking
round the farm and never see single
snail. In the cool Of the evening you
could not kick cabbage without dis
lodging a score or more.
The boxes are six feet in length by
three feet in width and run in long
rows a yard apart. Around each Of
these shelters, which are only few
inches high and have sloping roofs 50
that the rain may flow down into gut
ters at the lower ends, rows Of big,
leafy csbbages are planted. AT Or
gelet, in the Jura mountains, is ia. m
containing 100 shelters, each con-
tanning pretty lively family Of 1000
snails. Here there were $500, 900
snails altogether, and they had $4,000
cabbsges to feed upon.
The interior Of each box is lined
with bed of-dry moss, and here the
snails slumber in peace safe from the
sun. coming out at night to feed. Dur
ing the four years it is necessary to
keep them in order to fatten them up
for the market they eat many times
their own weight in green stuff. In
deed, they are 30 voracious that In a
single night in the wet season hun
dred thousand of them will consume
enough cabbages to fill up market
cart twice over. Before sunrise the
farm is busy sight, for scores Of
hands are out collecting the snails and
putting them back in the boxes that
they may be protected from the heat
OF the uhy.
Only two kinds of snails are eaten,
the gros blanc, or snail of Burgundy,
native to the vineyard districts. and
the petit girls, which comes mainly
from the Pas de Calais region. The
former is much larger than the latter.
Prices in the Wholesale market vary
much, according to the season. Thus,
between April and May the gros
blancs fetch from 81 rs to 1926
thousand and the petit girls from Al
TO 60 cents thousand. But from
September to the middle Of October
the big Burgundy snails fetch from
$3.50 to $3.l0 thousand, and nearly
81 a thousand from October TO April.

CLIFF SWALLOW.

they are wanting, the bird that makes
them being exclusively a migrant.
The English sparrow persecutes also
the cliff swallow; hence, in the North,
the bird is much less common than
formerly. Under the mistaken idea
that cliff swallows are not deIirlbl
neighbors, the nests, especially when
near houses, are often destroyed and
the birds driven away. All birds are
more or less subject to parasites, es-
pecially when nesting, but the para.
sites are not -bedbugs nor the kinds
obnoxious to man, and no one need
banish the swallows for fear of trou-
bic from this source. In Germany
the presence of swallows around houses
is so much desired that artificial nests
made of clay or other material are
put up in order to attract birds by
saving them the labor of constructing
their own domiciles. No doubt our
own cliff swallows would be quick to
respond to similar offer OF ready.

way the range of this extremely useful
species might be materially increased.
The cliff swallow ia one of the most
indefatigable insect destroyers extant,
and every motive of patriotism and
humanity should prompt communities
among which they live to protect and
foster them in every, possible way.
