AGRICULTURAL.


The Rouen duck is variety of the COM
mon domesticated Mallard, increased In size
by abundant feeding and the careful selection
of breeding stock. The breed obviously did
not come from Rouen on the Seine in France,
from whence it takes its most common name.
Some authorities think the name is corrup-
ton or INSTRUMENTATION of the the term
roam duck, and that, like many other geo.
graphical titles of our varieties of poultry,
the word is a misnomer.
1t is generally considered that the Rouens
are the most profitable of the duck tribe.
They are more lethargic, and consequently
more speedily fed and fattened than any 9TH
ers; awkward in gait, dull in countenance
and with greatly developed breasts, and bel
lies almost touching the ground, they are not
lagyeful, but they are good feeders, eating as
if they considered it their duty to grow fat
and large; all their organs and capacities for
food and digestion showing special aptitude
for putting on large amount of flesh. They
are great numbers of large eggs, the average
weight of which should be three and half
ounces, always above three ounces. The
color of the egg is blue-green, the shell
being considerably thicker than those of the
eggs of the Aylesbury breed.
The flesh is of the highest possible flavor,
and in good specimens is abundant in quanti-
ty. Young well-fed brakes of only nine or
ten weeks old frequently weigh when killed
twelve pounds the pair, and in some instances
even more than this. A drake and three
ducks successfully exhibited at the Midland
Show in England, weighed within fraction
of twenty-seven pounds without any special
feeding for the purpose, and afterwards when
fattened for the occasion they weighed above
thirty-four pounds. At the Birmingham
show of 1871 the weights of the prize pairs
were as follows: First, 10 pounds ounces !;
second, 10 pounds ounce; third, Is pounds
10 ounces; fourth, 1S- pounds 10 ounces. AS
regards consumption of food they are not
found to require more than the other varie-
ties. In color the plumage should closely APP
proxmate to that of the common duck.

Heme-Made Lamp shades.

Among the pretty things for the parlor,
which may easily be made at home, are lamp
shades and window transparencies, cut from
bristol board. For lamp shade take five
pieces of bristol-board, three inches wide at
top and five at the bottom, and sloped like a
dress gore on both sides. On each of these
sketch lightly in pencil, or, if your skill is not
equal to this, trace with impression paper
any simple picture you please. Flowers,
leaves, spray of any sort, vine with leaves,
grapes and tendrs are all effective and
pleasing patterns. Alter the pattern is traced
take sharp penknife and cut through each
line, taking care to leave enough of the board
intact at the base of each, SO as to prevent
any part from being wholly detached and so
falling out. The design may be colored on
the reverse, if desired, and for this no skill is
necessary; bold strokes and dashes of color
answer perfectly, provided there is no bur-
ring of the lines.
We have seen some such shades where in
stead of using a knife, the designs were
pricked with pin or with large needle.
When the parts of the shade are all done,
bind them with narrow, gilt paper, pasted
on, and join them together. This may be
done by making hole at each corner of eadh
gore, and tying them together by means of
narrow ribbon passed through the holes. If
larger shade is desired six pieces may be
made, but five will be sufficient for the ordi-
nary size. The effect of such a shade will,
when the lamp is lighted, be found equal to
the finest bisque or porcelain transparencies.
For windows cut the board in rectangular
shape, and proceed in the same manner with
your picture. We have seen a head of Christ
and a Madonna and Child beautifully exc
cuted in this easy art work. Your knife
must be sharp and your hand steady. 1t is
well to fasten the work to drawing board,
as artists do their drawing paper, to hold it
in place while doing this, since this insures
more regularity in the strokes.-American

How 10 Tell Ripe watermelons.

Here is rule for getting ripe watermel-
on, that is said to be infallible: When the
melon begins to change color inside and its
seeds to turn black, small black speck or
blister begins TO appear on the outer rind.
These are multiplied and enlarged as the
fruit natures. In a fully ripened melon they
are thickly strewn over the surface. In a
row of one hundred melons spread along the
sidewalk not more than five or six fully ripe
ones will be found.

Untidy Barnva,ds,

We desire to call the attention of some far
mers-there are doubtless but few to the
untldy condition of their barn and stock
yards. In some cases they are filled with
broken and disused machinery, rails, pieces
of boards full of nails, clubs, etc. We are re-
minded of this by hearing farmer remark
that he had lost good colt by its stepping on
a rusty nail. There are many animals annu-
ever, are not entitled to sympathy for far
mer who leaves boards, with nails sticking
up, lying around where stock is liable to run,
deserves to lose his cattle and colts. See to
it at once that all such dangerous articles are
piled up where they NAV dry out and be used
tor kindling. Chicago Tribune.

POETRY.
III TrOvatore.
BY OWEN MEREDITH.

AT Paris it was, att the opera there,
AND she looked like queen in book mat hlght;
With the wreath of pearl in her raven hair,
And the brooch on her breast, SO bright.
OF all the operas that Verdi wrote.
The best, to my taste, is the Trovatore,
And Mario soothe, with tenor note,
The souls in purgatory!
The moon on the tower slept soft as snow,
And who was not thrilled in the straDgest way.
As we heared him sing, while the gas burned low,
"Non ii scordar di me?"
The Emperor there, in bis box of state,
Looked grave as if he had Just then seen,
The red flag wave from the city gate,
Where his eagles in bronze had been.
But o, the smell of that jasmine flower!
And o, that music! And o, the way
The voice rang out from the donjon tower,
Non Ii scorddr di me,
Non ii scOrddr di me?"
