KANGAROO as a Food.

Twenty or 30 years ago the back
country squatters, in order to destroy
kangaroos, used to dig huge pits at
the corners of their paddocks, running
yards of calico along their wire fences
and then drive the kangaroos into the
pits, clubbing and shooting them. In
those days kangaroo skins were of no
value; now that they are almost ex,
tinct. there is a great demand for
them. The flesh of young kangaroo
is by no means to be despised, and
kangaroo tail soup is delicacy now
hardly to be obtained.

A few words about the preparation
of the soil, and the securing of good
stands of corn by mechanical means,
is never amiss, and the points too
late for this year can be kept for an
other season. If we have a sod field
to break we should pillow it as early as
possible, so as to secure a good me-
chanical condition of the soil. BY
blowing early we get the benefits of
the late freezes, spring rains, sun and
winds, which settle and rot the soil
and save us much labor. Heavy rains
in May have the same effect, and the
yield on sod land is usually much i'm
