A Few Words About Ducks.

The domestic duck IS one of The most 7alu-
able fowls of the farmer, bat it has one great
objection, which is, that it lis an unmerciful
gormandizer, aud it is difficult to raise. Where
there are ponds OF streams, j. Is as profitable
as any other fowl it is very prolific, and its
eggs are preferred by many to those Of the
hen. When they have free access to ponds
they fed on various reptiles, and several
species Of aquatic grass, which they find be-
neath The surf &c. aud which is very excel
lent substitute for animal food. When insects
are abundant, they require no supply Of meat,
as they obtain a suGicIency Of animal fcod
themselves bnt when this is not the case, they
must he furnished literally, or they will
speedily die. Potatoes boiled, mashed and
mixed with meal, make au excellent article Of
food for duck It becomes very fst when fed
on it, and when in preparation for the market,
it is perhaps the best food that can be given
except meat Young ducks require gfea, at
teution Their voracious habits often induce
them to eat to TeFetion, and many lie while
quite young from 10 other cause.

a Wife's Power.

The power Of a wife for good or evil, is ir-
resistible Without one home must be forever
unknown. a good wife is to a man wisdom,
power and strength; bad one is confusion,
weakness aud despair. No condition is hope
less 20 a man where the wife possesses firm
ness, decision aud economy There is no out
ward property which can counteract iudoI-
ence, extravaganza and folly u, home. No
spirit can long endore bad influence lie de-
lights 10 enterprise and action, but 70 sustain
him he needs a tranquil mind, and especially
If be is an intellectual man, aith a whole head,
he needs bis moral force in the conflicts Of life.
To recover his composure, home must be a
place Of peace, Of comfort. There his soul re-
news its strength and goes forth with fresh
yigor TO encounter tie labor and troubles Of life.
But if At home he finds re t, and is there met
with bad temper sailenness, jealousy and
gloom, or is assailed by complaint aud censure,
hope yanisbes and sinks into despair Such
is the case with too many who. it might seem,
have 10 conflicts or trials Of life; FOR such is

\ top dressing may be applied to advantage
