The best time to pick the feathers from
ducks is Just after they are killed, and as
often as any are killed for the table or for
sale. Ii any one plucks ducks when
aliveheorsh should be severely punished
for such cruelty. Ducks will begin to
lay in a mild climate about the begins
ming Of February, and if well fed. will
lay an egg every morning. When owners
of ducks are inhuman enough to pick
the feathers while the poor creatures are
living they will not lay so early, and not
more than a fourth OF the eggs. Ducks
and geese thus barbarously treated al
ways have a ragged, miserable appear

are guilty of this unfeeling conduc: over.

L. To account for the great Green

To account for the great Green
back vote in Maine, some of our daily
papers have said that it was owing to
the fact that in some parts of that
State the people have no money, and
do all their trade by traffic. Be this
as it may, all trade is but traffic, though
it be for gold and silver. if they have
not the fiat Of government on them
to make them money. suppose the
article is wagon. A passes it to B.
and B to c, and so on. It is plain
that such traffic would be cumbersome
and not as easily conveyed from one
to another as a greenback. Let d
greenback then represent it, and the
wagon could be put to use, and no
longer be unproductive capital as it
would be when passing from one to
another. Would yon not suggest to
the owner of the wagon to represent
it by paper, and he could keep the
wagon to use Gold and silver, like
! that wagon, are unprOductive capital
/ so long as they are used as money
Let them be represented by paper,
and they could at once be turned into
channels of use in the arts and scien-
ceS, and our exchanges with other
countries. This would increase our
productive capital by the whole
amount of gold and silver in the
land. 1t would relieve them from
doing service as MONEY, and we could
apply them to other uses. These
metals locked up in the treasury or
in the vaults of banks. are dead pro.

might as we'll have remained in the
ores OF their native mines, or be sunk
in the depths Of the sea. Make them
merchandise, and use greenbackS for
money, and it would increase our pro
ductlve capital by the whole amount
we use. 1t would enable us to pay
our debts and yet have our money to
use. Then we need not take the wa
