** Many 's the time I ' ve run the risk of a dose of salt in my legs for taking them without leave ! ' ' And then he would go on to explain that it used to be per- missible — it may be still, for aught I know — for the cultivator who found boys among his vines taking the grapes to discharge at their legs a shot- gun loaded with salt in place of pellets. The practice was, I believe, common in other parts of Switzerland besides Canton Vaud, and may have had the effect of checking the inroads of t...he tim- orous. But for the bold of heart, what was a little smarting in the legs ! Besides the Lavaux above mentioned, Vaud produces La Cote, Dezalay, Montreux, Ville- neuve, and Yvorne. The best-known wines of Valais are D61e, Coquimper, La Marque, Anni- viers, and Vin du Glacier, so called from the fact that the inhabitants of the Val d'Anniviers store their vats in cellars built high up in the moun- tains. From Visp (in Valais) to Montreux and Geneva the wine chiefly produced is white. White wine is grown very largely, too, on the shores of the Lake of Neuchatel and around the Lake of Biel, although these districts yield a good red wine as well.
