'One of the snail's favorite dishes is ‘overripe melon, but the growers lately permit this treat. cure ‘must be taken that they do not eat rose-laurel, belladonna, or other poisonous plants, as such indiscre- tions will result in serious illness for the people who eat the snails. Late in the autumn the snails. grown very fat, retire within their shells, and cork themselves up by fitting a thin, membranous parti- tion over tho opening. Then the snail-cultivator removes them, and puts them on trays or screens. which, in turn, are piled in More. houses. Here the snails remain) without food until they are sold. I In a single snailcry in Franco there will sometimes be no less than ten thousand snails of modermte size. March and April are the best months for stocking a mail nursery. The. ground is plowed deeply, and the snails are covered with from two to four inches of straw and moss that is kept moist by sprink- ling. Heat and moisture induce the snails to bury themmlvea in the ground or to hide in the bushes un- til the breeding-season is at, hand. A snailery u always placed on damp soil. There ‘3 an enclosure fenced with smoothly planed Wounds, matcd with tar, and sup- powed u rigidly u poetiible to withstand the force of the wind. Inasmuch as it is tho habit of the snail, when it encountcrs an ohata- ele in its path, to settle down and lay eggs. it becomes ncuwrbary in building I. snailcry to me that an- wooden fence surrounding it ex- tends to a. depth of at least. eight inches below the surface of tho earth, and that it is provided at the level of the ground with a kind of shelf or shoulder, to discourage tho burrowing proponmitios of the snail. l The average snail lays about sixty eggs every year, and the snails grow with such rapiditv that they are ready for tho market in six weeks after they are hatched. Interesting Account as to Mow the. Creatures Are Raised. In this country there. is little cul- tivation of edible snails, but in F rance the snail industry is impor- tant. Snails live principally upon a. vegetable diet, especially leaves, and at the leading mail nurseries in France the little cresturea are fed exclusively upon lettuce, cabbage and grass. l GIVES I QUIIIK.
