Flint Soup.

A zouave in the army of Italy billeted at
the house Of Savoyard, whose wife was
the most avarici Gus woman in the whole
country around.
The Zouave had drank his pay on the
march, and sold his bread for more drink,
so as not to set out sur une sene y ansbIe
Now the host was compelled by law to give
him but three things, that is, water, fire and
salt--the whole insufficient to make meal
The Zouave was not discouraged. He
lit fire first, put pot of water on the
hearth, and then went to look for large
stone, which he carefully placed in the pot
as though it were beef.
The good woman opened her eyes with
astonishment.
"What are you making ?" she said.
"Flint soup" el nj.
"And is it good ~
$50 good you would lick your fingers.
But, unfortunately, there is trifie needed
that had forgotten" a ~
What is IL? ?" 3-aG
"Some vegetables to absorb the fat"
"They shall not be wanting; here are some
carrots and cabbage" a Q th,faa
The Zouave took the welco vegetables
and continued to blow the fire. From time
to time he stirred the stone with spoon.
1t is becoming tender" said he; "it isof

little hogs lard to give it flavor -
"My faith, my boy" said the old woman,
have never eaten flint soup; and if you
promise me IA plate, will go and get some
hogs lard. l asI oit
"You shall have the first taste of the
BROTH" 11G isE9 u trei
The lard is put lin with the vegetables,
and already it emits savory smell.
''I do not know if it is true" said the
Zouave, speaking to himself, "but they
have affirmed to me that some garlic and u
few cloves were not superfluous in this pot
tage."
The old woman had gone too far to stop
at trifes. The accessories were brought
and ten minutes after the soldier served up
an admirable Julien, which delighted his
hostess.
The next day, when the soldier was
ready to depart, the old waman found the
stone entire in the pot, and wished to re-
turn It to her guest.
"Thanks,p said he, with the most perfect
GOODNESS "but do not like meat heated
over again"

Ok Teams VS.. Horses

The american 1gricWItHriSt show.
that oxen are preferable to horses for
certain purposes on the farm:
In this g0ahead age 1t is Il dismal
sight to see an able bodied man toilinu
along the road at the slow pace of :,
par ct oxen. and we have probably had
as much To say aS any one in favor of
the substitution of the faster horse OF

side which Is worthy of careful consid-

but they are effective, cheap. and con-
Vcnicnt. Horses are IA necessity for
regular road work. and for many oper-
atlonS on the farm. but il Is almost in
diSpenS;ible To have for occasions con-
SidcrahlN more team-torce than is need
ed regularly. If the extra wcrk of
blowing, harvesting. and hauling ma
nurc is to he done by horses. we NAV

Is very important one, and the extra

after all, the question of speed is of less
consequence than we often imagine il
to he. We have lately had AN oppor-
tunity to watch two teams in use in orr

oxen, both engaged in similar work. !
(mainly on the road.) and we have
come to the conclusion, against our
preconceived notions. that ..Slow and |

t" do more work in week than the |
horses. They are three pairs of young
cattle, growing thrifty, and so paying

The CAYUGA DUCK.-Ths bird is
claimed by the breeders who are inter
ested i'll its general introduction. as an
American product every way worthy of
favor in the eyes of patriotic poulterers.
! We cannot speak from experience. of
its qualities. but on the authority of
Mr.. VIM. Cliff. of trout-breeding fame.
we believe it to he valuable variety.
Until within IL few Years it has not been
extensively propagated. 1t is said to
have originated on the shores of Cavu-
ga Lake. through cross between the
Mallard and the wild black duck. One
of the largest breeders of this duck thus
describes it 1.-The head is small. neat
and slender: bill broad. rather short.
and dark i'll color; neck medium breast
broad. fnll and prominent: body long
and round. very full and plump wings
long and carried well up: legs medium
III length, and black or dark slate color
plumage of drake, of glossy black
throughout: the head and neck of ii
brilliant grceniSh hue also the wing
covertS, but not SO decided in color. the
primaries of the duck sometimes being
of ii dark-brown, all the rest is "A let
black: few flashes of white in the
breast of the duck, objectionable. but
not disqualification" The average
weight of the birds is from six to eirbt
pounds, and breeders believe this may
be Increased very considerably with
proper care. For the table it is claimed
that the Cayugas are without rivals
among the domestic breeds. They are
good layers. and have ii fair SENSE of
responsibility in the care of family.
but hens are recommended us superior
i'll this last respect.
