Bermuda no lonser monopolizes the trade in early toruatoe? ; tboae from 1 londa come in coon after, and these are followed by the crop from Georgia and more Northern St!te3. Fortunately, the tomato, If picked when full grown and ripening has commenced, will come to full ripeness after it i3 removed from the vine. Success with those who tend the tomato from rJouthern locali ties to Northern markets, largely depends upon picking at tho proper time. The charges, on the fruit ripen?, are gradual ar.d well marked. A3 soon es it has reached its full size, the tomato ''tarns," that is, it oies its dark-rreen color, and becomes a much iightfr and whitish green; then there Is a yellowish-red tinge, and after this the trne red color appears, usually first uron that portion most exposed to the sun, and soon tpreatlin;; over the whole surface. The fruit should be picked in such a state that it will be well colored by the time it reaches the market, or soon after. While the Florida g'ow?r mutt pick the fruit as soon a it ''turns," or loses its dark-green color, the Of org' a shipper can wait lor the yellowish color, and these nearer the mar ket can send them still further advanced in ripeness. The tomato, after it has become weil colored, remains hard for a few dayv.. then begins to soften, and becomes too tender to bear transportation, a fact that those who send to a near market should keep in mind, as an over-soft tomato, or a ''leaky" one, as the dealers terra it, will spoil the appearance of all the others In the piotagc. it is irnpor tant that all in one package be of the same stage of rlpenew, so that alt will como to maturity at the same time, bbippers from Bermuda. Florida, andother far Southern 'ocalitie?, now find it worth while to wrap each fruit in paper before packing. lue stems are always removed, as they would bruise the other fruits, but in Southern localities, this allows of the discovery ot the boll worm, which often enters the fruit and hides beneath it The Ways of the Clothea Moth. Many a vigilant house-keeper would be spared much vexation of spirit, if she un derstood the domestic arrangements of the moths as weil as she does her owu. She 6u?pecta everything Lepidopterous of be ing "the moth," and every insect of that kind enters the house, no matter what its size or kind, it must be killed lest it "eat holes in the clothing." -It will surprise these walchf nl persons to be told that the moth itself is harmless, and eata nothing. Tb.3 proper clothes moth has a tpread of Winz of only abcut half an inch; it flits about so quietly, and is so small, aa often to escape notice, while insects mary times larger are euspectcd cf being dangerous. The Email sizj of the true clothes moth, its delicate bun color, satiny lustre, ar.d especially the silky fricee upon the edges of the winss. distinguish it from other moths. In snying the moth is harmless, we would not be understood that it is not the cause of mischief. The only part assigned to this creature, in its beantiful winged state, is to lay eggs. The round of its changes is as follows: The egg, from which hatches the larva or caterpillar; this does all the feeaing, ana 13 the destructive form of the insect; the chrysalis, in which state it is dormant for about three weeks, and finally the winged state or moth, list described. Observe that the moth increases only from egg laid bv the Hying insect. The "feeding moiD. or caterpillar. clo?3 not increase its numbers. The caterpillars feed Upon woolen fabrics or furs, and they also use the minute fragments ot them to make themselves a case or shield, a circular roll, which tney carry about with them as they feed, and enlarge as their growth requires. In the Northern States. the moth begins to tiy in May, but earlier in warmer climates, and their eggs are laid in May aud June, when the insect dies. It will be Eeen, that to preserve articles from injury, we must p.ace them where the parent moth can not reach them. The in beet is small and can f-uo through narrow cracks. Whatever will hold liquids will keep out moth, herjee fnrs and woolens may be placed in whisky or other barrels. If the articles are placed in brown linen and sewed np, or on paper and pasted up, they will be perfectly protected. There must be no eggs or moths in the articles when put away, and the wrapping should bs thorough, without any crevice through which the parent moth can crawl. Prepare Now for Next Chrlatmas. Rather early to tali aoout Christmas you iy to It is will think. so, and it is purposely early. Next winter, whether you re help ing to decorate the Church, or school room. or are putting np Chfistmai green at home, von will fay: "I wish this did cot all look dark and heavy. How a few bright flowers would lighten it up. I wish I had some of those pretty everlasting-flowers." The way to have everlastinji-llowers next Christmas is to sow he seeds now. There are a number of different kinds and they are only Known Dy tueir ootanicai names. The most delicate of all are the Khodantbes, from Australia, but they are better fitted for making up!in flae bouquets, i than for Christmas work. The most useful for this are the Heltchrysunis, as their flow ers ere large and showy and of a variety of colors white, rose, yellow, purple, and sOme have brownish shades. The seeds can bs had ir.Iluttnct colors, though it is much ! cheaper to get the mixed seeds, if the seedmen will be sure and put all colors in the I mixture. Acroclinium is another good everlasting, and gives the purest white and I rose-colored now era of au, inere are tev

eral others which you will find described in

the seed catalogues. The Apiary In April and May. American Agriculturist From the losses last winter, many will wish to buy bees, and transfer them Into their empty hives. First turn the old hive bottom up. after smoking the bees sufficient to quiet them. This work should be done ; at noon on a warm day when the bees are I active. Flace above the hive a box, and eo wrap the line of junction with a sheet that no bees can escape. Kap on the hive (with , hammer or stick) for fifteen minutes. The bees in this time will rill with honey and cluster in the boi above the hive. Set the ! new hive filled either with frame rr comb. or wired foundation" on the old stand, where the box-hive stood, and shake the bees in front of it. They will quickly enter and take possession. The box-hive is set aside for three or four weeks, when all the brood will have hatched out. The bees may now be drummed ont aa before and added to the others. Unless the bees can gather food, the bees In the new hive must be given combs containing honey or fed. until there is opportunity for them to gather sufficient stores for their needs. If it should turn cold the old bee hive must be put in a warm room, ehe the brood will be come chined, ana laiitonaicn. n it is warm, and there are no flowers from which the bees can gather, the old box hive mut he closed, or robbers may enter and carry oar hone. .... After all the bees are removed the second time Iroin the old hive, it is knocked to Dkce!. the combs cut out, melted into wax, and sold or worked np into "foundation." Incase a queen has been reared in the box hive, where the brood has been hatching, by tho young bees, ehe may be killed, if seen, or left to the old queen, who will de stroy her. Hew Best to Preserve rgg, Farmers who havelarge numbers of eggs to preserve, store keepers who take eggs "in trade." and all others who handle large quantities of eggs, depend upon lime-water as a preservative. Casks of various kinds are tisedt) hold the egs, and some country store kf epers have so many that they require large brick cisterns placed in the center. that are cemented and hold immense quantities. While fiome immene the eggs in simple lime-water, others hold that the addition of a small quantity of salt increases its preservative qualities. Thoe who have had an eitendea experience advise slaking a bushel of stone lime and adding water to make six ty or tiity-live gallons, and lour quarts of m I t i . l fait, inis mixture is surrea a few times at intervals and allowed to settle. The perfectly clear liquid dipped otTand poured in a caik to the depth of fifteen inches; then eggs to about a toot in depth are plac. d in tne liquid, and some of the pickle that is a little milky is added. Mora eggs are placed in the cast, and some slightly milkv pickle is added for each foot in depth. hen the eges are within about four inches of the top of the cask, they are covered with a piece of cotton cloth, and upon the cloth Is spread two or three inches ot the lime that settled after the slaking. It Is important that there be always eulhcient pickle to cover the lime on the cloth. The object of placirg upon the cloth the lime that had eettled, is to keep the water con stantly sitnrated wita it. Should some of the time dissolved be changed into car bonate, more is at hand to be dissolved. Does a Mare Ever Give Birth to Twlnb? Thus tsk9 a correspondent to which we answer yes, occasionally, ont not nearly eo often a) the cow; and it is fortunate that it i3 so, except in rate instances, she lack3 sulhcient nourishment to bnnjr up two foals properly. In o:der to accomplish this. one must be taken away from the mare and nursed on cow's milk, which, although not so rich. Is male to answer an excellent pur pose by sweetening ii with a lituo sugar when found necessary, mere are instances where the colt, taken from the dam and put on cow'a milk, has thriven even better than the one left with the mare. The late Lord lientincK, ot lnsia-iü, possessed a mare which gave birth to twins in taree Bacces sive seasons, une ot toe pair was camel oddly enough, "rweedle dum," the other. "Iweedle-dee." l?nt they did uot make good the distich of lludibras: 'Strange that auch difference there should be Twlxt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee," for these colts were so near alike, it was difficult to distinguish one from the other, Sugar From boigham. American Cultivator. Sugar from scrghum, now in its infancy in this country, seems to be a i old estab mhed industry in Japan. According to Consul General Van Büren the tugar is made from that species of the plant known as Chinese sorghum, which grows luxuri antly in all the southern portions of the Empire south or the thirty-sixtn degree of north latitnde. The whole product of the Empire in 1&7G was C4 2y7..r()0 prmnds. Im portation in 157S was C7.431.703 pounds. ror 300 or 400 years the process ot granulat ing and refining sugars has been known and practiced. Borghum is not grown from the seed, but from cuttings. In September selected stalks are cut and buried in trenches a foot deep. Through the winter from each joint of the stalk sprouts grow. In the spring the?e points are cut off and Eet cut in rows of fif teen to eighteen inches apart, and about the sme distance from each otber In the rows. The ground has previously been thoroughly dug and pulverized by a locg-bladed mat tock. The fertilizers used are ashes, fish, decomposed hay, straw and sea-weed, or night soil. The plants are thoroughly hoed hilled and irrigated. In October and November the leaves arc stripped 08, the stalks are cut, and in bard outer covering 13 re moved, and tne remaining portion 1a then ground between rollers of atone or bard wood. The cane juice Is boiled in iron ket tles until the granulation takes place, wima it is placed in bags and pres5d dry. The expressed pj rup is used as molastes. Dry, upland foils are required for the successful growth of the cane, and tho expenditure of labor and fertilizers is a3 great, if not great er, then for acy other crop. Fertilizer for the Grape. New England Faimier. At a rf cent meeting 01 the Western New York II. nir.ul'tiral Socitty, Professor Ca Id well, of Cornell University, in a paper which he read on the subject, treated very thoroughly of fertilizers for the grape. The first point of inquiry wa?, what does the grape take from the soil? Secondly, what h the composition of the grepe and v!ne? Thirdly, what does stable manure do by way of supplying thia exhaustion? And fourth ly, what commercial fertilizers accomplish the same end? He gave ihe component parts of the vine spoke of the amount cf potash and phosphoric acid, which proves to be much lsthan the same ingredients contained in the farm crcps of clover, wheat and potatoes, and the amount cf these ingreuienis iuuuu iu iu puws. iue importance of potash was indicated. Diseased wood was found to contain much less potash than the healthy vine, and lime had been found to supply the place of potash in diea.ed growth. In the European vineyards twenty-seven lonscf raid manure are applied every tbre years, an amount containing several times aa much potah and phosphoric acid as analysis shows to be necessary. The paper was rather sngzestive of future investi gation than as prescribing fixed directions. and the conclusion was drawn that stable manure promises the bes: for vineyards, while leaf-mold peat and potash salts may be added. The fact that soila in dif ferent localities vary in composition shows that no distinct mles can be prescribed alike for all places. Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, said he had conducted areriesof experiments for three years on fertilizers for the grape and strawberry, and that potash in any form bad an unlike enect on dillerent varieties cf the grape. For exam wie. on the Concord the wood was rendered the first

year more spongv, and t.ie fruit was more

liable to drop. The next year the wood be came hard and the grapes larger and better. On the Wilder the influence was every wav better. Sulphate of potcsh often decreased the size of the berry. Nitrate of potash sometimes diminished the market value of the fruit by making the skin so thia that he had found that it could not be taken safely to a place only seven miles distant Each variety, however, would rive different re sults.

Though rolliDi: is of much benefit on light, porous and lumpy soils, yet it is injurious on wet clays, except in dry weather, when they are lumpy after plowing. Rolling a KtifTisnil when wet rendera it more difficult of cultivation, by pressing the particles Btill more closely together and preventing the admission of air. Even light, arable lands require the ground to be dry when rolled. if lor no other reason than that otherwise the soil will adhere to the roller. Grass land, however, is best rolled in showery weather. The locality of one original home of the uotato is settled by Mr. John O. Lemmon's discovery last scan of this plant in the mountains of Arizona. One variety was found near the summit of a peak 10,000 feet hfgh. From the wild plants Mr. Lemmon obtained aime eeeds, with several quarts of small tubers, and these will be distributed among careful experimenters for cultiva tion. It is hoped that the result will be new and vigorous race of potatoes to take the place ot the degenerated varieties now grown. In dippirg rheep for scab it is absolutely neces?ary to break up tcabby crusts with something rough; a corn cob is the best thiz g so as to cause the dip to rrach the bnrrowe ot the scab mites in the dermis or under skin, which is bplow the epidermis, and in which the in-rc'. lives and deposits Irs eggs. Aloreover, it is U3iies to use a dip of a lower temperature that 102 degrees, and that is quite painful during a two or three minutes exposure. But it must be done to destroy the i cab insects aud their efgs. As fir a? possible the formation of manure heaps in the fields should be avoided. If formed, the practice of turnir-g over the manure should be abandoned, as labor Is thus lot and much manure wasted. The best authorities consider it best to cart the manure direct from the barn vards upon the land and spread it at once. The question of immediate plowing-m, or covering the manure, is of less consequence than has gen e rally been imagined. On light soil, how ever, immediate plowing unaer is recom mended. The fatter a breeding sow is kept the more liable she is to destroy her pigs bv lying on' them or eating them up. Sows lef; to run wild make good mothers, and will generally

select a warm, dry place to farrow. It ia for

this reason that there is so much advantage in csing fall-blooded boars of improved breeds on large, coarse-boned native bows. The progeny secures the good qualities from its sire with a better constitution and more hardiness than it could from a full-blooded pedigree going back through generations, which have had ample feed and little exercise. G. II. B. writes the Elmira Husbandman as follows: "An experience of twenty years teaches me that apple trees can be trimmed m a wrong time, rnmnung properly in June seems to give the bst results as to f.uit, and with the least injury to the trees. April, May, June and Julj will all do very well, while trses trimmed fn October to March are almost sure not to heal over. A stump that does not heal will in time rot aud injure the treo. Trim clo-e, with a smooth cut, in time of growth; paint over large stumps and they will soon heal over in good ehape." W. F. Brown, in the Iinral N.w Yo:k?r, says: "I find more profit from the cows that come in fresh in the fall than from those that aro fresh in spring. Not only does butter bring a better price, but I think the cows give more milk in a year under this mm -agement, for just when they come to the time when they would naturally begin to shrink largely in their milk they go on fresh pastures and increase the flow; wnile a cow that is freih in the fprir.g begins to shrink just at the reason of failing pastures and the transition from green to dry xYed, and a great falling off of milk ij unavoidable." Apples are packed for the New York mar ket as follows: A basket of high cohred and medium sized peeimens is placed in tne bottom ol tne barrel as close as possible. witn the stems an down, ana tne barrel is shaken as often as a basketful is put in. It is filled half an inch above the chimes, the bead is pressed in by means of a screw, and the barrel is then turned over and marked on the faced head, so that when it is opened it shows an even and uniform surface. Apples thus faced will bring twenty -five to fifty cents more than tho?e cot faced. There ia very little demand for sweet apples. The result of soma of the most cirefully conducted tests in regard to rye as fool has stimulated its use more than ever, and t'ie high price of corn is directing attention to the yalne of rye, which is row cheaper than corn. It is more valuable for food than corn, and as it costs If es than oats, and is worth about twice ts much as tue latter, on account of less husk, it may be used very profitably as a substitute in part of both corn and oats. Two bushels of corn and five bT.'shel3 of rye ground together will make 412 poiindi of feed, and will be much better Ijt cows than live bushels of corn and four of ots. and will cost les money. Besides, four pounds of the former will be quite equal in value to five pounds of the latter feed. American Cultivator. "Farmers, as a rule, should retain their b?st brood-mire for farm work, end dispose of geldings for use in towns anl cities, whe breeding can not be carried on to advantage. A mare suckling a foal can not always be expected to do as niac i work as a geldiDg, and at certain periods mares should not be called u;on tor heavy work, hxpe rlence has repeatedly demonstrated the fact that it is lar more remunerative to the gen eral farmers to work mares and have part of them drop their fcais in tue lau, and, it necessary, increase the nutcb?r of mares to per form the heavy worK during tne busy sea son, without damage to tne loai or its cam There are seasons of the j ear when the services of farm horses are not in demand, and at such times geldings ere retaired at an ex pense to the owner." C. F. Mills. The Country Gentleman, in response to a request from a correspondent for a cure for horses which have contracted the habit of pulling at the halter, f-avs: "Take a suffic iently long piece of half-inch rope. Put it under the tail lite a crupper, cross the rone on the back and tie the two end.) together in front of tne breast, snuelv. 60 there is no alack, otherwise it would drop down on the tail, rut an ordinary halter on (a good one) and run the bailer strap or rope through a ring in the manger or front of the stall and tie it fast in the rope on the front of the breast; hen slap his face and let him fly back. lie will not choke or need telling to step pulling back. Let him wear it awhile and twice or thrice daily scare him back as suddenly and forcibly as possible. After one or two trials you will see that he can not be induced to pull back." There is no operation connected with fruit growing about which there exists so much apprehension and diversity of opinion as about pruning. Many prune too much, others too little, and very few just right. Every owner of fruit trees should under stand the obiects and principles of pruning, so that if he does cot do the work himself he may direct and supervise those who do it for him. Ordinarily hired men competent to prune trees and vines judiciously are ex ceedingly scaics; aod in many cases the trees and their proprietor would deiive more btnefit by paving the pruners for staying away rather than to admit them to the grounds and permit their mutilations. We have eeen so called "professionals ' divest strong, thrifty pear trees of nearly every ore of their fruit sours which had been many years in forming. They were ignorant of the fact that trees required bearing buds to produce fruit. Pricing without a thorough understanding of its objects and purposes is like blind man's buff you may hit the right one, but generally it is the other way. American Garden.

Doctors in Consultation Over the Victim. A Wealthy Honolulu Planter at Hospital the Discovers for the Flrat Time Condition. HU Awful Philadelphia Record.1 "About two weeks ago a gentleman of pleasing address presented himself to the most eminent surgeon in America, Dr. Samuel D. Gross, of Philadelphia, having letters of introduction from two physicians of the Sandwich Islands. The man was well dressed, and evidently accustomed to good society, but, notwithstanding these advantages, the impression produced by his appearance waa not agreeable. The skin of his face was of a dirty, sallow color, and oily and shiny. His eves were heav. the lids drooping and flabby, and his nose dark red in color. The evidences of a premature old age were too atronsrlv stamrwil upon him to be mistaken. As a matter of fact although he did not suspect it this i was that most horrible of human beings, a victim of the dreaded disease of the tropics, tcily leprosy. The letters of in troduction he bore were sealed. Thev in formed Dr. Grof-3 that the patient, in the opinion of the doctors of Honolulu, from whence he came, was a leper. As they did I cot regard the disease aa contagious, they had advised him to visit the United States and seek thebest medical advice. The un fortunate victim is a gentleman of education, the son ol American parents, who emigrated from New Hampshire to Honolulu. where he was born thirty-four years ago. Dr. Gross, after a careful examination r.l the case, referred the patient to Dr. John v. Shoemaker, and the unfortunate was "Keu io me xio-piiat ior sain disease, on Locust street. Here he told the story of his life. He was a pknter of ample wealth. whose early manhood and much of his for tune were spent ia excessive dissipation. He led a merry life for some years, especially among the women of easy virtue on the island. Eight years ago he became sensi ble of a decided lors of health, and he now recalls a fact to which he paid no attention at the time. A dead spot of ekin was begin ning to make its appearance just above his knee. Six months later, when be had almost forgotten his former indisposition, he married a native lady of Honolulu, who was a woman in vigorous health. "Within a year a weak, punv child was born, which lived but a fe-v weeks. In the meantime the spot of dead skin began to grow larger, and his fingers and toes became very sensitive, fcharp. shooting pains ran through them. Within a year, however, the pain was succeeded by a sensation of deadness in his extremities, and he was scarcely able to distinguish solid substances. This was followed by the appearance of blisters on his lingers end toes. Medical treatment failed to check the disease, and his presence in Philadelphia is the result. His condition now is horrible to contemplate. "Iiis bands and toes have no sensation. and when needles were stuck into his ex tremities by Superintendent F.C. Waterman, the patient said he did cot feel them. In short, the case was found to be well-defined leprosy, which had begun ia the antithetic form and gradually passed into the more dreadful stages of the disease. Dr. Shoe maker prescribed remedies to tone up the digestive organs, aud solutions to apply lo cally to the spots auected. tmt-door exer cise to occupy his mind as much as possible, was especially urged. In three days the patient returned to the Hospital looking somewhat brighter, but that was all. Dr. Shoemaker invited a number of phytdcions and some of the students of the Hospital to examine the unfortunate man. Only a few responded, but among them were D. S. Sut ton, of ilendon, fa; Dr. t;. oung, ol Vbicago; 1. rreoenck de t-raft, of ucrmany; and D. F. E. Stewart, of Philadelphia. It was explained to ihope present that the dis ease, according to tne latest and otst medi .. . f . ... cal authorities, is cot contagious, except by inoculation, The result cf the consultation was not favorable. It was agreed erreed that the disease. by proper hygienic measure', might be al leviated, but not cured. Dr. Shoemaker then advised his patient to seek eome agri cultural district, in a cold region in Minn esota or the mountains of Switzerland, to keen his mind and body both employed. With this advice he was asked to call again in two cays, ine man listened to wnat was said to him as one who hears the sentence of bis doom. He trembled, and gasped for breath. For the first time he learned that hia was to be a fate worse than death. His emotions overcame him, and burying his head in his hands, he eat for a long time as if striving to shut out the terrible truth. When he had regained sufficient composure, he said that he had no idea that he was suffer ing from leprosy. All the way from Honoltlu he had every hope of being cured. The thought that he was to be an outcast from society, that lie was cur?ed with the raopt loathsome of diseases, that he was to be bunted down for isolation, appeared almost to have over-tcppled hiä reason. He cried out that he cow only wished to die; no rea soning nad the slightest efiVct upan his ex cited condition; finally he went away. The next day he returned to the Hos pital, nervous, gloomy, prostrated; he begged that his condition would be kept cecret Every moment lie would glance around, as II tearing he would be seized and would repeat mournfully, "Hunted down for isolation." At last he consented to start on a hurried trip through the coun try, to uivert nis mina, ana mate arrange ments to change his place of residence. He left the citv twi davs a?o. Before his departure he visited the Hos pital, and, as if ;in distraction, made most extravagant offers for such treatment as might cure him; he said that no fee would be too large if the awful disease could be eradicated. Ue offered to give his fortune to the last penny, for an assurance of a resto ration to health, but he was told that it was Impossible." Since tbe above was written, the most searching inquiries have failed to discover the whereabouts of this afflicted person, and lears are entertained that he has made way with himself. Considerable feeling has been manifested by the more liberal of our phy sicians laminar witn tne case, d cause a thorough trial was not made of the Cuticura remedies, which have cured so many cases of leprosv, both in E a rope and this country. as well as other severe forms of skin and blood humors. All agreed that no harm could come of a trial, and could see no dif ference betwen the symptoms in this case and those of II. E. Carpenter, Henderson, N. Y., who was promptly and permanently cured by the Cuticura remedies, and whose disease, reported in his own words, presented even more distressing features than that of the Honolulu planter. Mr. Carpenter's statement is as iouows: "1 have been atnictea for twenty years with an obstinate skin disease, called lepro sy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite ot all I could do, with the help of the most skillful doctors, it slowly but surely ex tended, until a year ago thia winter it cov ered my entire person in form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do any labor, and Buffered intensely all the time. Every morning there could be nearly a dustpanfuil of scales taken from tho sheet on my bed, Eome of them half aa large aa the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of the spring my f kin I rvtimenred rrarkini cnen f " i ? fi I tried every that could be thought of luIUBi "'"""i without any relief.

One Dr. treated me about two week?, but dii me no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die My Bkin was cracked through all over my back across xay ribs; arms, hands, llano, feet tadly swollen; toe-nails came off; fingernails dead and hard as bone; hair dead, dry nd lifeless as old straw.

A consignment ef quails has recently ar rived at Inverary. The birds have been. sent over from America by Lord Lome as a present to the Duke of Argyll, who intends to endeavor to acclimatize them. It was while in California recently that Lord Lome was Ftruck with the notion. There he found quail as abundant as the Israelites found them in the wilderness, and accordingly he secured several dozens, a very fair percent age of which arrived safely at their destination. The preserves around Inverary Bhould prove a good breeding ground, and, should the essay be successful, London in years to come may receive its quails with the periodical regularity which characterizes the arrival of its grouse and pheasants.
