The Elder Duck.

The elder duck. after the wild swan.
is probably the finest bird that frequen:s
the Atlantic sea-board. They nest all
about the island. especially among the
long heather and rcedy inlets Of the
Eastern coast. The grea; precipices on
which the Atlantic breaks are too steep
and perilous. and the young birds. new
from the nest. could hardly weather
that tempestuous sea. From their earli-
est days, it is true. they are splendid
sailors. When they grow older they
grow somewhat unwiddly. and are not
difficult 10 shoot on the water; but the
half-fiedged bird is ~splendidly supple.
and seems To dive with the flash. In
clear shallow BAYS we can see the little
dOwny morsels caring themselves
swiftly a foot or two under water. and
when forced to the surface showing only
the tips of their bills. At this season
the family is under the maternal wing
drake. till well OH in autumn. leaving
his consort TO her own u Mean
time the male birds keep together. and
are found quite on the other side Of the
island, in parties of a dozen or 3 score.
WHY they should manifest such selfish
unconcern for their offspring. at 4 sea
son when one would fancy that their
services were most required. we do not
know. but the fact is undoubted.-

Wool-growers in Kansas. Colorado.
and New Mexico have learned that pay
ing two Or three cents per pound for
freight on the rich soil held in the fleeccs
shipped by them is neither proiita-
BILE to them nor satisfactory to the con
signees. The sheep-Owners are. there
fore, discussing the establishment of
s~couring-mills ut convenient points. as
was long since suggested by the Tribune,
rs a measure of relief. That there are
some objections to this plan is true
there are few plans to which there is
more. One OBJ ectiOn is that every fleece
must be. sorted" so that each Of the
several Qualities of fiber found in each
flee e may be placed with fiber of a like
quality from other feeces. This will
make necessary the services of skillfu;
..sortcrs," and to such men high wages
must be paid. But this sorting must be
done at some time. and while wages
would doubtless be higher in the West
than in the East the saving in charges
for freight would probably pay a hand
some profit over any difference there
m Ght he in the cost of sorting and
securing. Wool thus sorted would. be-
yond doubt, sell more readily and ut
better prices than could lie obtained for
unSorted wool. In most lines Of BUSH
ness il has been found profitable tn sep
arate goods into classes to most readily
and completely answer the require
ments Of customers, and there is no ap-
parent reason for supposing the same
rule would not hold in case of wool.
In merino woods the shrinkage in
securing is from seventy to eighty per
cent, while the less oily common
grades shrink from sixty Ia siNty-iive
per cent. Thus on a carload. of say
fifteen thousand pounds of f~leeces, the
Colorado or New Mexico sheep-Owner
paws say S45p for transportation o
market. OF this sum from S3l5 to 1850
is paid for hauling dirt, which. rich as
ii may be, is really not worth in the
wool markets the three cents per pound
it costs to put it there. As the wool
grower gets really nothing for this soil,
except left-handed blessings from
the broker. the mill owner
and all others who handle the clip. il
does seem unwise 10 pay freight

OF the rapid filling of the beds of their

Wool Is NOR important in this
try than mutton. and with the claim
that the wool interests are not fostered
by the Government, the breeders Of
sheep. instead Of using thei1 animals
for all the purposes TO which they are
adapted, confine themselves 20 = single
production only. and complain that
sheep are not profitable except under
circumstances that permit only Of
unlimited range over free pastures. But
wool. while seemingly more important
than mutton. is really hot rs valuable
If We take into consideration the facts
pertaining to the breeding Of sheep for
wool and sheep for mutton. Our coun-
try Is so large, and some sections 50
distant from market. that breeder, lind
il easier TO clip aud transport wool than
mutton. and they therefore direct their
attention to those breeds that excel in
wool product on, the consequence being
that IO people in the world have such
inferior mutton as we have. 1t is i'm.
possible To find q dozen first-class sheep
in n hundred that arrive in market
that may be classed as excellent. such
sheep have been neglected in order to
produce wool. 1t is easy to estimate
the difference in cos between the pro-
duction of wool and mutton. for, allow
ing that wool is worth ffty cents a
pound, the value of a fleece is not =
large sum-; but if breeders will endeavor
TO breed sheep that possess desirable
carcasses, with something else besides
the ribs and legs. not only would the
increased weight be a source of grea.
profit. but we venture u say
that the extra quality of mutton
that is produced expressly for market
would of itself add an additional item
TO the receipts. thereby increasing the
profits. On ONE railroads sheep are
transported to market at SO much each.
and the large sheep. are. therefore. the
cheapest, as they sell by the pound
when they arrive at their destination.
and. although wool is easily baled and
shipped, there is still considerable
labor in shearing and. preparing the
wool for shipment. There is a portion
of profit also from the best mutton
breeds in the shape of wool. even
though it may be inferior, but it is
enough to paw the expense. The profit
from sheep should be made rs large as
possible, and the addition of a few
more pounds of wool to the clip will
not compensate for lack of size and
quality in the carcass. In England they
find the profit in mutton is SO great rs
to make sheep a necessary adjunct to
the farm, which would not be the case
if they bred for wool. With the in
crease of population in this country
comes a greater demand for mutton.
for WI have but little Of it, and that
demand is sure To increase. As it in
creases the field for breeding sheep is
also widened, and if we are to COM
pete with Australia and demand a tariff
to protect us, we will at least be safe
and secure against foreign competition
in the mutton supply. OF course we
find mutton in our markets, but such
meat could not easily be sold in En-
gland. The usual ilocks that come 10
markets are very inferior. The peO-
Pile are anxious for m~uttOn--gOod NUT

who sends it to market -Farm and

Industries Of Cities.

The regret is often repeeted il rural
circles. says the last monthly report of
the Department of Agriculture, that
boys will leave the farm fD- city life.
1t has been shown heretofore that the
proportion Of farmers is slowly decreas.
ing, and that this is for the best good
of agriculture. 1t has, l. the same
time, been shown that the supply of
farm products is increasing by use OF
l~abOr-saving implements and Git is
hoped) by better cultivation Then
there is 10 need of regret that aii sons
of farmers should not cleo! - be farm
ers themselves. Some have inventive
genius and a taste for mechanical pur-
suits; some manifest a penchant for
trade, and others a preference for pro-
fessions. A distribution according to
natural bent and innate sptitudes will
lead to better results, and leave fewer
poor farmers 10 occupy a position for
which they have neither taste nor
qualifications. An examination of the
business of cities shows that they are
occupied for other purposes than spec,I.
latiOn and petty swindling, however sc.
verely they may be cursed by the pres.
ence of those who prey upon honest in
dustry. In fifty cities of largest pOpu-
latiOn there were nearly 5000. 900 peO-
pie in 1880. OF these 5000, 900 or
more were workers." in addition to the
wives and Older daughters who were
housekeepers, and the children, the
aged, and intirm. 1t may be supposed
that most Of these workers were in
commerce or transportation in these
fifty great ''marts Of trade" BY no
means-fOr the larger proportion are
artisans and operatives connected with
the great manufacturing class. New
York Itself has AZ per cent directly en-
gagged As artiiiCers. and but q per cent.
in trade and transportation together,
and the annual value of the products is
the pr;ncely sun of S412, 926. 49,. In
stead of handling a Few hundred mill
ions in foreign goods. they make an
equal value of domestic goods. a large
proportion of which is labor. So we
find in these fifty cities an average of AZ
per cent in manufactures. l per cent.
m agriculture. and "a Per cent. in trade
and transportation. As the remainder
are in domestic service. distributed
among these classes but not enumerated
with them, and professional people de-
pendent upon all these classes. it APP
pears that fully six-tenths of the popu-
lation of these cities are supported by
manufacturing production, i. e.. five
millions of a population of less than
eight derive their incomes from the pro-
ductive industries. Thus the great
cities of the country are not SO much
''marts of trade" as ..centers of in.
dustry."- Gicago Times.

Where the Burden Falls.

DIR. Donald NJ cod. a Scotch clergy
MAJ, recently delivered 4 lecture on
"The SIN of Cheapness," in which he
argued that the craving for cheapness
and hunting after bargains is not only
economically false, but a cause of great
suffering 10 thousands of men. women
and children. There is much truth and
force in the idea that he presents. The
~ail-prevailing idea 10 buy things for less
than they are really worth is undoubt-
edlv the cause of much distress among
the class of people who depend upon
hard labor fora livelihood. The trades
men who are constantly haggled with
and beaten down in prices compensate
themselves by beating down in turn the
manufacturer. who makes himself good
by reducing the pay OF already underpaid
people. The oppression finally comes in
nearly all such cases upon those who are
least able TO bear it. If people persist in
demanding high-priced articles At low
rates the demand ~ill be met TO a great
extent, but the cost of il must fall he av-
ily somewhere. Ii those who cougrat.
