finds from assessors reports that the
crop of dogs is growing less in that
State. In 1881 there we're 144, ,104,
while in 1882 there we're only 129,32
That looks well for the sheep interests.
But, unfortunately, the 1882 dogs,
though in smaller numbers, killed more
sheep than the 1881 dogs did. The
smallness of the dog crop does not seem
to work desirable results.
Ayltsbury ducks have long been con-
sidered by most breeders of this class OF
fowls as standing at the heal, all things
being taken into account, and the best va
riety of ducks known. Their distinctive
characteristics consist of a plumage Of
unspotted white, pale, flesh 'colored
bill; dark, prominent eye; orange
legs, stately carriage, proliicness and
excellent quality as market birds. The
weight of the grown fowls averages, If
properly fed, from ten to twelve pounds
a pair (duck and drakr). The ducks
Of en- weigh eight and ten pounds
each. The ducks are prolific lay
ers. Instances have been known
where 300 eggs have been obtained
from two ducks in. one year, be-
sides which one of them sat twice and
the other once during the time, the
three nests giving thirty young ducks.
1t is also claimed for Aylesbury ducks
that their consumption of food is less
than any other sorts, besides obtaining
maturity at an early age as compared
with common ducks, and being farmore
marketable from their superior appear
ance when plucked. The females are
good Sitters and excellent mothers.

A Story Of LiBcoln's Youth.

Joshua F. Speed is thus related:
"Mr. Speed began his business life as a
merchant in Springfield, Illinois, where
he was settled when Mr.. Lincoln came
there to open law Office. One day he
was sitting in his store in an interval Of
leisure, Mr.. Lincoln, whose inward awk-
wardness was then aggravated by youth,
came up to his counter, accosted him
with visible embarrassment"
i want to know, Speed" he said, the
cost Of a bedstead and bed" adding q
rough description which indicated the
cheapest kind of both.
"What you want" answered Mr..
Speed, will cost you about ST." At
this Lincoln's jaw dropped. and a pain
full expression Of sadness and perplexity
spread over his countenance. Mr.. Speed.
noticing the look, and rightly interpret
ing it to signify that the price exceeded
Lincoln's means, quickly added:
"Mr. Lincoln, ! have proposition to
make you. My partner has just got
married, and his bed In my room up
stairs is vacant. If you are willing to
occupy it and share my room with me,
you are more than welcome" The pain
full expression instantly vanished from
Mr.. Lincoln's face, as, with few simple
words of thanks, he accepted the offer
and disappeared. In short time he re-
appeared with pair of old-fashioned
saddle bags on his arm, and, directed by
his new friend, shambled up stairs to
the designated room. A minute had
scarcely passed before he shanlbled down
again, and as he reached the shop room,
cried out, his face beaming with jocund
content:
well Speed, I've moved" Hencefor-
ward until death, Lincoln and Speed
were bosom friends"

the most cheerful Indians in the west,
they became marked, in their new home

British line, went back to Idaho and are

in the East, and it ia small wonder that
the wild delights Of this new experience
finds expression in uncivilizel shouts
and gestures.
It is not only the larger features of the
scene which are novel. The vegetation,
from the grasses on which the herds Of
cattle are feeding to the dark forests
which clothe the flanks of the mountain,
belongs to flora whose forms are new
and strange. The plain is bright with
lurkspurs and lupins. gaillardias and
phloxes, geraniums, irises, and forget
me-nots, but the flowers are not those
known at the East. Even the roses,
white and pink, which bloom among
the shrubs along the g,lllies, have an
unfamiliar look. At the base of the
mountain stands a stunted red cedar
which makes itself at home ON both
sides of the continent. The note Of the
little song-sparrow can also be heard in
the chorus of alien bird music. But the
familiar sights and sounds are 80 few
that they only serve to remind one how
far away he is from the things he knows
best and prizes most.
Up the narrow trail, in single file, the
stout little horses begin to climb. The
broncho blood enables them to pick
their way with sure-footed ease over
fallen timber and slippery rocks. A man
of science, whose fighting weight is 2lS
pounds, seems light burden for the
stocky roam pony under him, and the
summit of the first divide is gained with
hardly a rest. 1t is not much of a hill
for Montana, but it lisa good thousand
feet higher than the summit of Mount
Washington, and the view between the
battlcmented cliffs Of Bozelnan Canyon
and the wider prospect along the plain
to the endless mountain belt beyond, all
billowed like troubled sea into snowy
peaks and ridges, are memories forever
to any one whose good fortune it has
been to see them through the clear
morning air.
