1910, 295 young were secured APO in 1911, and 960 in 1912
 With the close of the breeding sea- son of 1913, 1, ,450 little ones were talk en from the hatchery. As in former years these have been distributed to smaller compartments containing salt water and sand By protecting the young in this way very large per centage are saved that, under natural conditions in a wild stat would have been destroyed, being preyed upon, especially during the first year when their shells are, softly all manner of marsh fowl, as well as by rats, crows, mink, hogs, crabs, etc.
 Information furnished the bureau by fishermen, netters, shell fishermen, terrapin hunters-those who make their living from these and kindred occupations and who are always on the lookout for the highly prized ter rapin, confirm the statement that it is exceedingly rare to find diamond back terrapin under two years of age in a wild state. Owing to their de- fenselessness during the first and sec ond years, it is fair to assume that a greater percentage are destroyed than survive. In captivity the records of the laboratory show that 96 per cent of the young are saved.
 Previous to the season of 1913 all terrapin matched on the laboratory grounds had been from native stock taken in the immediate vicinity of Beaufort. For experimental purposes, during the late summer and fall of 1912, over one hundred adults from widely different sections of the coun- try were added, some coming from the Chesapeake and many large ones from Texas Among the latter is one female measuring more than eight inches on the lower shell. The ad- dition of this stock accounts for the great increase over former years in the number of young already taken from the matching beds. The methods employed by the government have necessarily been along the slow and tedious road of research, investiga tion and experiment, until the life his tory and habits of the animals have

Bear in mind that a COW needs to be fed hoeraliy of milk kformng foods. Meager feeding Will very materially reduce the mill1fow and make II oll- ficult perhaps impossible, to bring the COW oacK to her former output.
 Usually the fences on these old New Engiahu farms consist of stone walls considerably out or repair which afford convenient homes for wood- chucks skunks and rabbits the lawful prey or the hunter or trapper. The hunter rarely re- members to rebuild where he has pulled down the stones in his quest for game
 These walls supplemented with one or two strands of wire along the top, fastened to driven posts and if examined closely will be found to need a great deal of repair before they will ef- fectually turn stock The walls have such odd lines that they convey the impression of having been the result of haphazard disposal of the rocks and stones taken from the land, rather than that of wef-defned plan of dividing into meadows and pastures.
 The wisest plan is to take time enough in the early spring to put the pasture fences in good repair as at that time work to better advantage among bare trees, and can see more clearly where the walls need extra attention. If this is left until the stock get the wander lust" time will have to be taken from planting or having, and it then becomes more tiresome and expensive.

 The COWS were fed literally, a well-balanced ration and three months after purchase milk was sold to the town creamery contract at 32 cents per of eight and one-half quarts, and the r2aximum of milk production was five eans the profits, If the fve-can production could be maintained was largely mythical
 Had bought ten twelve cows as good as those I did buy, my profits would have been more tangible, and had ' bought cows just fresh even paying $1O more per COW, I should have sustained no loss.
 About fifteen tons of hay had been cut the previous summer. which being stored in the barn, went with the farm that only the corn meal bran, linseed meal and roots used were paid for in cash. Figuring the feed at the mar ket prices, there was possible profit of $3 per month per during the period of greatest lactation.
