Raising Ducks.

Again must we call the attention
of breeders to the profit in ducks,
when properly cared for, and when
there are facilities at hand for breed
ing them properly. Many a farmer
has realized far more from breeding
ducks than he would obtain from his
chickens, for they are very hardy,
and lay remarkably we'll during some
parts of the season. As soon as
they commence to lay, the eggs
should be carefully gathered and put
away; as soon as a hen (not duek)
wants to ait, set her with ducks eggs,
and let her hatch and care for the
brood till they are able to take care
of themselves. A hen will care for
a brood of ducklings far better. or
dinarily, than will an old duck. If
the ducks think they have laid
enough eggs, and show unmistakabie
signs of wanting to sit, put them into
convenient coop, put one of your
most vigorous young brakes with
them. and they will soon be willing
TO shell out eggs again. which should
be set under hens as fast as CONVEX
lent, so as to bring as many out at a
time as possible, thereby lessening
the cost of attending TO them. A
shallow tub, kept we'll filed with
water, will afford plenty of bathing
room for The ducklings until'they are
two or three months old, aud per-
haps longer.-Poultry World.

MAKING TT HOT FOR A MORMON
TTHEEY WEDDING


SALT LAKE, Oct 3O.-In the Miles ex-
aminatian, this morning, John Taylor,
President of the Mormon Church, ap-
peared as a witness He avnwed him
self polygamist, and that he had chill
iren and grandchildren by polygamous
| marriages. The Miles came to him for
advice. The story was as follows: Miles
knew Miss Owens in England. When
! young, he went to sea as a sailor. In
! Australia he met Mormon Missionary,
| and became a member of the Church,
and went to st. George, Utah. Previous
to this he had written to Miss Owens,
offering marriage He claimed that he
had received no reply; that he under
stood she had accepted him, but he had
| not received her letter While at st.
George, Utah, he had made marriage en-
gagements with two young women, sis
ters. Miles and the two young women
from st. George came to Salt Lake,
where they met Miss Owens, from Eng
land. They asked his advice, which, as
given was, that if the three marriages
were performed, they must be in the or
der of the ages of the young women
that Miss Owens was not the eldest;
that Miss Owens felt aggrieved with this
arrangement, but that it was insisted
upon as the rule of the church. The
other testimony that the elder Miss
Spencer and Miss Owens were intro
duced and acknowledged afterwards as
the wives of Miles, but that the younger
Spencer sister backed out OF the engage
ment. The investigation is still in pro-
gress. The grand jury meets early in
November, and will be composed of
about an equal number Of Msrmons and
Gentiles
This afternoon Mrs. ConIey was ex-
amined in the Miles case. She was pres
ent at the reception at the house of An
guis Cannon Thursday evening. The |
defendant introduced to her Emily Spen- |
Ger as his wife. The fact of the plural /
was generally understood by
the company This witness, it is said,
has been ordered from her former home
by her brother for giving evidence IN
the case, and has taken refuge with a
Gentle family. Miss Owen, the second
wife, examined and confirmed John
Taylor's testimoney as to the instruc
r1ons regarding the order of marriages
The first and second wives had a diff
Guilty that afternoon during the wedding
and Miss Owen slapped the
face of the first wife. The mutual hus-
band interferred. She threatened to slap
MS face also, but was prevented by by
standers. She then left the house, but
was forcibly brought by the defendant
and others. This girl Owens, or the
second wife, is an intelligent and fine
looking English girl. She had no place
TO go after the trial commenced, and
was given home by the United States
Marshal 1t is proposed to call the at
-ention of the British Minister to her
case, hoping he will interest himself in
bringing to justice those who haYe so
orutally outraged her. 1t is not believ-
ed that the better class of MOrmons SYM
pathize with the defendant in this case,
as brutality and indeccncy have been
too strongly exhibited. The case was

A Snowman Eaten by His Bear,

A few days ago, an Italian, call
ing himself Felix Be-nichi. went t.
Weldon, North Carolina, with big
black bear, which be exhibited o.,
the streets. The animal was train
ed, and afforded entertainment foI
men and boys. As it was inclined
to be ferocious at times, its master
kept heavy mnzzle on it as a safe
guard, To-day October 16.D Ber-
nichi's receipts were greater than
usual, and on the strength of this
fact he lietook himself to a sample
room near by, where he got drunk
He came forth again With Bruin, and
told the crowd of by ISLANDERS tha'
be would show them something they
had never seen before. He unfast
ened the muzzle and took it off. No
>oner had this been done than the
pet bounced him and commenced to
chew his throat. The crowd thought
that this was only some part of the
show, and looked on with increased
interest. The poor man yelled bot
as he was in the habit Of yelling and
making a great noise when he was
exhibiting the bear, no attention was
paid to that. Presently the blood
rushe1 out, and Bernichi fell. Some
one then rushed to his assistance.
and found that he was dead.
The bear had taken a large piece
of flesh out Of his neck and devoured
it. and in a few minutes the show
man was dead. It then flashed across
the minds Of the lookers-on what had
happened. The struggles of the man
with the bloody monster were ter
rible. The bear was shot and Ber-
nichi was buried in the town GENE.

Work and Pray.

Asa and Ira were two brothers,
whose farms lay side by side in a
fertile vale. When the young corn,
the oats and the barley were spring
ing up, the weeds took advantage
Of the rich soil, and came up with
them.
DO you see," said Asa, "what a
hold the weeds are taking! There
is danger of their choking out the
crops entirely"
well, well. we must be resign
ed" said ira. Weeds as well as
grain were a part of the Creators
plan" And he lay down for a part
Of his afternoon doze.
Il can only be resigned to what
L cannot help" said Asa. So he
went to work, and plowed and hoed
until the fields were clear of weeds.
"The army worm is in the neigh
borhood,' said Asa 10 Ira one day.
1T has eaten its way through the
neighboring meadows. and is fast
moving toward US"
"Ah." exclaimed Ira, "it will sure
ly destroy what the weeds have not
choked out. will Immediately re-
tire to pray that its course may be
stopped or turned aside"
But Asa replied: 81 pray betimes
every morning for strength TO do the
work of The day" And he hasten
ed to dig trench around his land
which the army worm coGid not
pass; while Ira returned from his
prayers only in season to save a
portion Of his crops from its ravages.
do you see, Ira" said Asa an
other morning, 1.-THE river is rising,
and there is but small chance of
preventing our farms from being
overfowed."
Alas it is a judgement upon us
for our sins; and what can we do?
said Ira, throwing himself down up
on the ground in despair.
There are no Judgments TO severe
as those which our own sloth brings
upon u.s." said Asa. And he went
quickly and hired workmen with
whose help he raised an embankment
which withstood the flood; while Ira
witnessed with blank look the des-
truction of all his wealth.
"There is one consolation" said
he. my children are left me-" But
while Asa's sons grew up strong and
vigorous men, among Ira's there
was a drunkard, a gambler and a
suicide.
The ways of the Lord are not
equal" said Ira to his brother.
Why have you always prospered
while l am ath cted. and my old age
is disgracedF'
Il only know this" replied Asa.
"that Heaven always helps me to
meet my children's faults as | meet
the weeds, the caterpillars and the
flood; and that never presumed to
send petition upward without ma
king toll my right-hand servant. the

Best Sheep for Farmers.

The best sheep for a farmer to
keep are those that yield the heavi.
est feeces and the greatest number
Of pounds of meat. The scrub sheep
| will yield from three to six pounds
of wool per head, while Merinoes
will range between ten and twenty
pounds. and thoroughbred Cotswold>
more. Why is it that the farmers
DO not raise the sheep which win
give these heavy feeces? Then as
TO the meat. the fine sheep produces
an enormous amount of flesh, and
does not eat more than a scrub. Bul
besides these facts, the fine sheep do
not only yield large 1eeces per head.
but the wool is of superior quality.
The same is true of the sheep in
comparison with scrubs.
Southdowns, for instance, are the
finest mutton in the world, always
commanding an extra price-a flesh
which princes desire-while the
deeecs is medium. The Shropshire
stand next in quality. and are next to
Cotswolds in fleeces. The profits of
these breeds are very great in times
of ordinary prosperity. and under all
it is best for the far
mer to breed them, because they
pay better-the grand result which
is the supreme object of the farmer
the highest possible remuneration
for his capita! and labor.
And all concerning sheep is true
Of fine breeds of cattle. horses. hogs
and poultry. In the face or these
indisputable facts, the mass of the
people should not handle scrub |
stock, and entertain an ignorant OPP
position to fine b-eeds.-Li0e Stock |
