Just as he was passing .llr._Wil liam Fountain, the latter slipped on the wet. boards. and a saw he had under his arm by some mvars came into contact with the back of Mr. McIntosh’s right. hand, two of the teeth spanning the top knuckle of‘the lbre finger and'pcnctratâ€" ing to the bone. The wound, which bled profusely, pained him a good deal for several hours. a id it is not yet suf- ficiently healed to allow him-to go to work.. SURPRISED.â€"Wc are very much sur- prised, and doubt not that our readers will be also, at the= statement made by Mr. Dickson. in a letter in another col- umn, that eagles. are protectcl by law, and that any person who kills one of them is liable to be fined for so doing. M'r. Dickson gives the grounds for his opinion; but we l‘ancy that the exemp- tion oi‘ purely predatory birds, big and strong enough to carry off‘hares, f'awns, lambs and even babies. from the list of those unprotected, tnust have been an oversight on the part of our lawmakers. Eagles are few in number and imposing in their appearance; but we had no idea that these meritsâ€" the only ones they haveâ€"were sufficient to save them. AN “ ALLIGATOR" ox FIRE. â€"â€" A little before midnight on the 28th ult. fire broke out near the bow of the alli- gator “Hamilton ll," owned by the Bank of‘ Toronto, and moored out in the shallow water above the railway bridge. and she was damaged to the extent of something less than a hundred dollars, both ends and the deck being burned and thcvsides badly charred. A few persons went out to her over the logs, but. the boiler appearing to be red hot. they feared it would burst, and left; without doing anything, and. the fire went out after it had done about all the harm it could. Its origin is‘attributcd to incendiarism (which there is no reaâ€" son to suspect) or to some boys having gone on to the boat, to smoke, as the fire under the boiler was let out at 3 p. m., and the floor of the hold was so wet that it was impossible for sparks to do any harm. The machinery was uninjured. and repairs to the wood- work were immediately commenced. m (Io-Operative Agriculture. Over twenty-eight hundred Ontario farmers have received material and in- structions for conducting tests upon their own farms during the present season. These include young men who have attended the Agricultural College, successful and painstaking farmers who have experimented previously, and oth- ers who are undertaking the work for the first time. About two thousand experimenters have conducted satisfac- tory experimental work within the past ten years. Of this number over two hundred have furnished good reports for at. least three different years and some for five, six. and even nine years. These little experiment stations form object lessons in nearly every neighbor hood in the province, the influence of' which can never be Correctly estimated. To giic Sonic idea of this influence. I nunte the billowing from reports sent in by experimenters : . " I get much benefit from my experi- ments. and my plots: are visited by. most of my neighbors every year." “'As a result of my experiments I raise more bushels to the acre and make mow money on my larm." “Looking at it from a financial point of view. my neighbors have roe-rived benefit from my experimental work to the amount of a good many hundred dollars." This system of co-nperative experi- mental work in agriculture, which cen- ters at the Agricultural College and operates through the medium 01‘ the Experimental Union. is beingr enlarged :tnl improved From your to year. A study of the fertility of the soil on dil- l‘ercnt lhrtns, and of the relative nicrit= ol‘ promising varieties of agricultural crops for difi'ercnt sections, are the mam sol-jam» under experiment on about twelve thousand plots this year. 'l her are in all nineteen disziuct experiment.» which embrace the agricultural Crops grown on about nineteoths oi the en'- 1l\'..t '2..nl o’t‘ Outario. The de-nand has been greatest for experiments with full pay. The heaviest baby known is reported lrom a Village near Brussels, where a farmer's wife has just given birth to a - child' WClgltiU‘: over twenty-one pounds, which is declared by experts to be the heaviest known. w BIRTHS.

Sm,â€" Amoagst the locals in» your- last ‘ issue I observe an item announcing the fact. that a party had shot and killed a female “ bald headed ” eagle on Big Island, Balsam-Lake, where it and its mate had’ nested for the past ten years. I think the gentleman who performed this feat could“ not have been aware of-‘thc fact that when he killed the noble bird be was violating the law, or he would not have done so, much less allowed it to be announced through the public press. Besides game birds, during the open season, and the robin, if caught in the act of budding fruit trees, there are only four varieties of birds which it is permissible to kill at any time in On- tario, namely, crows, hawks, blackbirds, and English sparrows; and to hunt, take, kill orhave in possession, or destroy, any nest, eggs, or the young of any other vari- ety of bird, by any means, at any time of the year, subjects any party so doing, upon summary conviction, to a. penalty of from one to twenty dollars. This is no new statute, but has been in force for several" years, and should by this time be familiar to all sportsmen. JAMES DICKSON, ~lllember of Fish and Game Commission, Ontario.
