Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinsen. Price, $1.25. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books in 
the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

fectly clean cut. The white ants will start at 
one end of a row of books in a case and work 
straight through to the other end, and the course 
of the hole is as straight as it were possible to 
make it. The white ant is the curse of the coun- 
try, and there seems no way of exterminating 
it or preventing it from getting into mischief. 
This is one reason why the natives build their 
houses of mud even where timber is plentiful. 
The finest houses in the large towns and cities 
are constructed in a way as far as possible to 
‘cover or imbed woodwork in cement. Especially 
the ends of wood structural work are thickly 
covered with cement to prevent the boring in of 
white ants. Most floors, as well as walls and 
ceilings, are covered with cement. 
The white ant is a source of considerable 
anxiety to tea planters, and the entomological 
station of the Indian Tea Association is investi- 
gating the matter with a view, if possible, of pro- 
tecting tea bushes from this and all other pests, 
including the green fly, which of late has been 
giving a great deal of trouble. 

ECONOMICAL REARING OF WILD DUCKS. 
Continued from page 175. 
ducks do even better on a good supply of worms 
and they were so fond of the latter that noth- 
ing would induce them to touch the corn until 
I had given them their animal food: These two 
birds began to lay early in February, and be- 
tween them laid 119 eggs up to the end of June. 
I have no doubt that they would have continued 
to lay more, but allowed them to sit and rear 
their brood. Both the ducks were very tame, 
and would readily feed out of my hand, and if 
I chanced to be a few minutes late a loud 
“quack” speedily reminded me of my want of 
punctuality. I ought to add that there was no 
‘possibility of any other ducks entering the pen, 
and I always collected the eggs myself. 
Having obtained as many eggs as are required 
it is best to purchase the sitting hens, which can 
generally be done for from 2s. 6d. to 3s. each, 
making a proviso that any bad sitters are to be 
returned. These birds can easily be disposed of 
later at from 2s. to 2s. 3d. each. 
I will now pass on to the time when the duck- 
lings are hatching, merely reminding the keeper 
that it is best to constantly visit the sitting hens 
during hatching, and remove all the young birds 
as they leave the shell, placing thefm in a warm 
basket in the kitchen until they are strong enough 
to be moved to the coops. If this is done many 
lives are saved, as it is the natural instinct of 

the hen to scratch for the food of her young, 
and while doing this, and shifting her position 
in the box, she often unwittingly kills two or 
three of her foster children. For the first 
twenty-four hours after being moved to the coops 
young ducks feed very little, but food should, 
nevertheless, be ready for them, for if the sun 
comes out one or two of the stronger birds are 
sure to make a voyage of discovery, and, finid- 
ing food, will soon draw the others after them. 
Now for the food itself, and it is in this direc- 
tion that I claim to be able to show my fellow 
sportsmen how largely it is possible for them 
to economize. My object is certainly not to be- 
little the excellent results obtained by men who 
use any of the well known patent meals. These 
are nearly all very good, but when all is said and 
done they cost £1 a hundredweight, while I pro- 
pose to show how wild ducks can be quite as 
successfully reared on food which works out at 
the very low figure of 8s. 6d. a hundredweight, 
carriage paid. The main ingredient of the food 
I recommend is nothing more or less than horse- 
flesh boiled down. This-can be obtained for 7s. 
per hundredweight, perhaps even less, and, after 
the boiling down process, contains no germs of 
disease, and is perfectly wholesome for young 
birds, though I admit that it is at times decidedly 
offensive to handle. 
The best means of getting it from the slaughter 
yard is to buy a couple of large tin buckets with 
tightly fitting lids; these buckets, on arrival, can 
be kept underground if the weather is very hot, 
but I found that in April and early May the 
meat would keep well for a fortnight. Care 
should be taken to wash the buckets thoroughly 
before sending for a fresh supply. The meat 
should be passed through a sausage machine,
