A BUTTERFLY FARM. 
In a recent issue of the Yorkshire Evening 
Post appeared the following: 
One of the best known entomologists in 
Yorkshire is H. W. Head, who now lives on 
his butterfly farm at Burniston, near Scarbor¬ 
ough. but who did all his pioneer work while 
residing in Dandler street, Scarborough. 
Mr. Head was the first to breed the butter¬ 
fly in captivity, and to-day he owns the largest 
butterfly farm in the British Isles, ocvering be¬ 
tween three and four acres, mainly devoted to 
the breeding of butterflies'and moths. * * * 
Able and keen entomologist as he is, Mr. 
Head confesses that the pleasures of collecting 
are lost when one has to make a business of it, 
and he probably knows better than anyone else 
the pleasures and the pains of an entomologist. 
His successes have been striking. * * * 
After five years’ hard work he has got the 
haven into very good order, and now only waits 
favorable summers to reap the reward of his 
labors. For a matter of twenty-eight years he 
has made a business of butterfly breeding, and 
he has now a wonderful collection of between 
300 and 400 varieties of British and foreign but¬ 
terflies and moths, and a set-up stock of 400,000 
all produced on his farms at Scarborough and 
Burniston. respectively. 
The farm is stocked with all kinds of trees 
and weeds—indeed one part is a veritable jungle 
—for the purpose of providing caterpillars and 
butterflies with the particular food they require. 
One species of caterpillar thrives upon one kind 
of plant and another species upon another, and 
Mr. Head has taken infinite trouble to provide 
himself with the rarest plants in order to pro¬ 
duce the rarest of moths and butterflies. 
In the rearing of hybrids, Mr. Head has 
been remarkably successful. He has raised al¬ 
together well on to a dozen, and he showed our 
representative specimens of a yellow form of 
the green-veined white butterfly, the sale price 
of which is about 30s. ($7.30) each. But what 
he is always on the lookout for are “sports 
i. e., butterflies or moths of well-known types, 
but differently marked than the ordinary. There 
is a good demand for these, and a single sped- 
men will fetch pounds. It is all a matter of 
luck. Since he has been in the business Mr. 
Head has tried to breed a black variety of the 
tiger moth, but he has not succeeded. 
\t the haven live butterflies are not sup¬ 
plied The live stock does not go beyond the 
caterpillar, or the fertile eggs of any particular 
kind of butterfly or moth in stock, but his clien¬ 
tele is cosmopolitan and world-wide in extent.

BRANDED YOUNG HALIBUT. 
A remarkable incident happened during the 
recent trip of the schooner Avalon, which ar¬ 
rived in Gloucester, Mass., the other day from 
halibuting, there being included in the crafts 
catch a small halibut which bore a distinction 
very much out of the ordinary. Two years ago 
one of the crew of the Avalon brought up a 
baby halibut on his trawl while fishing on Green 
Bank. The fish weighed about fifteen pounds 
and was thrown overboard. Before releasing 
the fish, however, the fisherman cut the initials 
“L. R.” plainly upon its back, and nothing more 
was thought of the incident. A few weeks ago, 
while fishing on Western Bank, some of the 
crew were surprised when a halibut was hoisted 
on board bearing the familiar initials “L. R.“ 
Instantly some of the crew recalled the incident 
of two years ago, which nearly had been for¬ 
gotten, and singularly enough the fish had been 
caught again by the crew of the same craft, flo 
give an idea how fast a halibut will grow, the 
baby fifteen-pounder of two years ago had grown 
to four times his former size, tipping the scales 
at sixty pounds.—Lewiston Journal.
