O., at tb-j mouth of tho Capo Fear river, In the bay in front of Suiithville is Coon island,, which is inhabited by an infinite number of rac coons. Nobody takes tho trouble to hunt thorn, because nobody cares to eat them. Not oven tho darkies know there how good roast 'coon is. Almost all the bottom of thcgioat bay is covered with enormous natural beds ot the larg est, fattpst and mon dcliciously flavor ed oysters imaginable. Successive gen erations of oysters through ages pas have piled their bhells upon those of their predecessors until they have made solid masses of shells, liko ruck or corul reefs, as much as twenty-live feet in depth. In many places they have bttil ded uutil ni'W they are out of water at low tide, and the boys of Smithvillp find it ban ly nd amusing to !-iild 6-os on them when the tide is out and ro.isnng thern in their beds, fl.rtint; each oyster out of his shell PS ho is cooked aud swal lowitig him. The tide uses aud falls about live feet. ."'.'.'..- Monster green turtles, some weigh ing us much as 1,500 puunds each, fre quent the beach all the way down to Fort Caswell, four miles below the town. People eat their oggs, but do not eat the turtles. Beach parties of young bilks go down there, gather beautiful shells, have dunoe.i ou the hard Bund in the moonlight, roast oysters and have fun with the turtles. When a female turtlo wishes to lay her eggs she crawls up the sandy beach to aplaco that suits her fancy dis with her flippers a big hnle ia tho saud and lays iu the hole 200 or 300 ogus. The eggs arc not dumped in a pile, but laid out smoothly and nearly in rows. When sho com mences laying it makes no odds to her bow big a beach party stands around superintending the process. Sh j attends strictly to business, and it the eggs are taken from the hole as fast as she lays them it does not at all disceurago or frighten her. When die gets through she scrapes the sand back into the hole whether the oggs are there or not and thon starts back for the water. That is the time for the beach party to have fun wim her. As iflany of them as can mount her big, dome liko back do so, aud she carries them right down to the water's edge where thoy jump off aud she goes on. She doos not seem te miud their woight or show any disposition to resent their good natured familiarity. Sometimes they turn her over on . her back, but after the has helplessly pawed the air a little while they right her again and she waddles off. Of oourse, there must be something wrong mentally in a peoplo who can fumble around , green turtles In that way without ever think ing of eating tbem. Aud they don't eat soft clams either, though tho beach sand is packed full ot those excellent bivalves. Indeed, the very idea of eating them seems to. awak en feelings of disgust and loathing among 1L0 darkies. Nor do they eat the mnaaels, which are abundant. Hard clams, of whieh there a few millions in pretty oiuth every place whore anybody might look tor them in lbs bay, tbey do eat, but not with any partionlar enthusi asm, though their hard clams are really Tery Sas.

HOW TO MA ME A LAWN IN A V FEW WEEKS. : Joseph Harris ill his "Walks aud Talks on the Farm" in the American Agriculturist, told how be made a lawn by sowing Millet, with the lawn grass seed and bite clover, and top-dressing it with Nitrato of Soda. Tho Mil let, or Hungarian grass, grows very rap- I idly and soon covers the gioucd aud smo'bers the weeds- It is absolutely necessary, however, to use the lawn : mower as soon as the Millet begins to grow and keep using it frequently, all the summer. The first trost kills tho Millet and the lawu grass has full poj sessien of the land. Mr. Harris says that in three weeks from the time of sowing be bad '-quite respectable look ing lawn," but be made the land very rich by the oso of Nitrate of Soda. . James G.

Before tl.e days of artificial comb foundation, a single brood-frame filled with woiker-couib had a value to the bcuki-ri era of at least $1, which ans wers the purpose quite as well as fullv constructed comb, sells for about 50 cts a pound, and two pounds uro sufficient to furnish an ordinary hiyo. jJecs servo as active agents in tho fertilization of planW, and arc not des tructive in the least degree. They are profitable because Jheyather andstoro up that win In' would W etttirely lost without their aid. They work in places that are rarclpsecn, and the fence com ers aud ueglccted spots are oftcu valua ble pasture fields for thein. Though regarded as csentfJ 111 nature, yet they can bq cared foi easily by ladies and .lie younger mouthers of the family., for like animals they are conquorcd bv kind ness. Mr. J. M. Hicks, Battle Grom.J, Ind., in relation to artificial swarming says: "It is inuclrea.iier to divide your bees and have the i )b done with, than t i to be constantly on the lookout for them lo send torth swarms. Natural swarm ing is very .unreliable.' Those who have never practiced artifi.-ial swarming had better roll up tlieir shoves and go at it, and our word for it they will discover t at it is not half us much trouble as they imagined. It is much easier to make a swarm than to have a natural one. (iive if a trial and see." I have often received letter! asking if it would pay to keep bees.
