There may be something in this idea,

The Good Points in the Rouco Duck.
We have raised Rouen ducks for
three seasons, and they are growing in
favor on the farm and, Judging from
sales, elsewhere. They are without
doubt the descendants of the Mallard.

family, growing with great rapiditv.

than most other varieties. 1t is not

making them very desirable to raise for
the summer market at watering places.
where poultry brings the highest price.
At maturity they will weigh from eight
to ten pounds IT well fed, which IS
matter of Importance in raising Rouens.
They are very superior layers, begin.
ming quite early in the spring and not
unfrequently laying IN the fall. They
are more careful of laying In the nest
than the other varieties, and there Is
much less danger of losing eggs when
they have their liberty. The eggs are
large and of excellent quality. They
are as domestic as dung-hin fowls,
never wandering far from the yard. If
they have fresh water in IA trough every
day it will meet all their wants, and
they will thrive nicely. For the duck
lings, a shallow vessel like a bake-pan,
an inch or two deep, answers good
purpose. Clean, fresh water every day
is OF more Importance than the quaint
". The secret of large growth does
not lie altogether in imported stock of
the largest size. The large stock is ex-
ceedingly desirable, but it will soon
deterIOrate without full feed and cons
slant attention If you want Rouens
of large size feed regularly and often
from the time the ducklings begin to
eat until they attain maturity. Coarse
Indian meal or hominy scalded is good
staple food, but this should be varied
occasionally with other grain, grass,
vegetables, and market food. Offal
from the fish or butchers market Is
highly relished, and makes them thrive.

Preventing the Decay of Shingles.

much salt as will dissolve in the mix

and put as many shingles i'll it as can
be conveniently wetted at once. Stir
them up with fork, and when well
soaked take them out and put in more,
renewing the liquor as necessary. Then
lay the shingles in the usual manner
After they are laid, take tho liquor that
is left, put lime enough into it to make
whitewash, and if any coioring is de-
sirable, add ochre, Spanish brown,
lamp-black, etc, and apply to the roof
with brush or an old broom. This
wash may he renewed from time to
time. Salt and I've are excellent pre-
servatives of wood. 1t is well known
that leach tubs, troughs and other
articles used III the manufacture of
potash never rot. They become satur-
ed with alkali, turn yellowish inside,

Is

an upward capillary flow Of the grourd-water. The
matters which in rainy times follow the surface,water
10 the depths in drought follow the ground water TO
the surface.
A most striking instance in point is the following,
taken from one Of the British Blue Books:
Richmond Terrace, Clifton, England, Is a crescent
composed of thirty-four houses. In l647, the mia
bitants, of thirteen Of these houses drew their drink
ing-water from a well at The end of the crescent. The
another source. At the end of September, the water
of the well gave evidence to the taste and smell OF
being tainted with sewerage. Early IN October typhoid
fever broke ont, nearly al Opce, an all the thirteen houses IN
whicb the tainted wahpr had been drank, but did moi make
ais appearance in any Of the other houses. In almost
every one Of the thirteen houses two or three persons
were i'll, and in some a much larger number. The
houses in which the fever broke out were far apart
in the terrace, and there was little or no intercourse
between their inmates, the water from the well beng
the sole connecting link.
A similar influence has been discovered in the dis
semination Of cholera. DR.. Anstie, in his Notes or
Epidemics, cites the following remarkable case:
The year 1854 was made memorable in the annals
Of medical science by the remarkable outbreak of
cholera in the parish Of ST. James, Westminster. The
disease had already announced its presence by the oc-
cnrrence of a few eases during the latter months OF
1858, but the number Of attacks declined, in the first
two quarters of 1854, to a very low ebb at the END
If June, however, they began to increase, till, IN the
last week of s. ptember, the cholera mortality reach
ed 1850. In the parish of ST. James, the first iataI
case for 1854 happened at the end OF July; out mere
was only a dropping fire, as it were which kept wl'hlh
mite moderate limits up TO the last days OF august
when suddenly the disease made an enormous expo
sion in the district. In the most crowded part, OF tn's
aensely crowded parish, there occurred on the 8iS'

in an extremely narrow area; on the fol'oWlhS day.
there were l3l fatal cases in the same area; on Fhe

IA fatal attacks, all in the same space, which might
be marked off by a circle whose radius would DC OF the
length f210 yards,
Fixing his attcoti0n On the local pecullarItleS OF the
district, DIR. Snow quickly perceived that one remarka-
BILE circumstance was common to the history al tn"
large majority Of attacks Of the disease, namely that
water ola well in Broad street, which had a great
reputation for sweetness and freshness. Analysis OF
this water soon showed that it was highly charged
with organic impurities and, on the 9TH OF 0eplemOeT'
the vestry, on the urgent persuasion OF Dr. snow re-
moved The handle of the pump and so prevented tho
further use Of the well. On subsequent eXamlnatlons
il was discovered that the sewage from a nelghboTlng
house-drain had leaked into The we'll, and that The
discharges Of a patient residing In the house IN que3-
ZION, and suffering from severe djarrhPa, u net from
actual cholera, must have mingled with the sewage
Immediately before the date Of the great epidemic
outbreak.
DR.. Austic further says:
1t is now we'll established, that this affection
(epidemic diarrhea) is caused by the efiuvla from the
decomposition of organic matter or by the admlXture
OfsuCh impurities with drinking water. The diseases
of which we have been treating certainly owe their
DroDagati0n chiefly to seWer-g Ises In the air and
sewage matters mixed with food or drink.
It would TOO far extend the limits of This article to
90 more fully into the question of she effect of putres-
cent organic matters on the health of those who are
subjected TO their influences, but the evidence IS clear
that typhoid fever is caused only in this way, and that
