AGRICULTURE.

DUCK R.sISG 1t rs both economical
and sensible to raise ducks. A great
deal of the coarse vegetable food used
In a family, with small potatoes and a
little grain, IS all that will b required
to keep a small flock in thrift the year
through. Duckl,ngs mature early in
their lives: one would lot feel the time
passing before they are ready for mar
ket. AT I've or six months old they
will, with ordinary care, dress ten or
twelve pounds per pair, and give beside
nice lot Of feathers, which can be sold
at far price, or be used to increase
the family stock Of beds and pillows.
Ducks are easily kept from the shell,
after they have passed the critical period
like chicks and poults are Industrious
foragers and thrive rapidly. Their keen
appetite, capaclous craws and strong
digestive organs enable them to assini-
late any kind Of coarse or refuse food.
They are at home in the stubble field.
cleaning what the reaper left behind,
Will turn into pasture and be contented
on grass, and they are happy in pond,
brook or marsh, diving in the mud,
searching for animal, fish or insect food,
laryB and vegetation. They do not
require en- expensive domicIle for use.
Being generous feeders they grow right
along when once they get start, and
their predisposltion to mature early is
one of the best recommendation IN
favor of the general cultivation of ducks
for the market or table.

Fowls AND MACHISEaY.-The process
OF fowls by machinery IN Frsncei Is thus
described Imagine the top OF a round
tea-tsble divided off into sections, with
a partition between each section ana q
board IN front with a half-moop shaped
aperture In il. 10 each OF these sections
Is an unhappy duck or chicken confined
by 8 chain 20 each leg. Through the
centre OF this structure goes y round
post, and there Is series of such tea
table tops to the roof OF the building,
each with its divisions and imprisoned
fowls. At stated intervsls man comes
round With a complicated machine filled
with kind OF thin Cruel, and fitted
with pipe at the end OF long India
rubber tube. He introduces this pipe
down the throat OF duck, and presses
down a pedal with his foot, and q certain
quantity of food is forced into the crea-
ture's crop, a dish above showing
exactly what amount of force he Is TO
use and nov much food passes. This
process Is gone through with each fowl
till all are fed, and 1t Is repeated four
times q day for ducks and three for
chickens. Two weeks suffice to fatten
q duck, but three are necessary for a
chicken. Apart from the necessary
confinement OF the birds. the process
does not seem to be at all cruel one.
as the amount OF food forced down their
throats Is not excessive.

DOMESTIC.

USE OF SiLr.-ln mary cases OF dis
ordered stomach, q teaspoonful of salt
is a certain cure. In the violent inter-
usl aching, termed cholic, add tea
spoonful of salt to pint of cold water,
drink it and go to bed; it is one of the
speediest remedies known. The same
will revive person who seems almost
dead from receiving q heavy fall. etc.
In an apopiectic fit, no time should be
lost IN pouring down salt water, If suf-
ficient sensibility remains to allow Of
swallowing; If net, the head ahouid be
sponged with cold water until the senses
return, when salt will completely re-
store the patient from his lethsrgy. In
a fit, the feet should be placed in warm
water with mustard added, and the legs
briskly rubbed, all bandages removed
from the neck and cool apartment
procured if possible. In many cases of
bleeding at the lungs, when other reu-
edies fail, DR.. Rush found two tea
spoonfuls of salt completely stayed the
blood. In cases of bite from a mad
dog, wash the part with strong brine
for an hour, then bind on some salt
with a rag. In toothache, warm salt
and water held to the part, and renewed
two or three times will relieve in most
cases. II the gums be affected wash
the mouth with brine. If the teeth be
covered with tartar, wash twice day
with salt and water. In swelled neck,
wash the part with brine. and drink it
twice day, also. until cured. Salt will
expel worms, If used in the food in a
moderate degree, and aids digestion,
but salt meat is injurious If used mrch.

THAT OFFER.
Mr.. Hemenway Sets This Journal
Right.

The statement contained in THE
HERALD, to the effect that the editor of
the Ogden Herald had refused $500 q
year more for position on the Tribune
to take his present situation on our
Ogden namesake. having been doubted
in certain quarters and even denounced
as false by the American gentlemen
OF the downtown sheet, we give below
the gentleman's OWE version of the
offer and its refusal. THE HERALD was
right, after all, it will be seen, regardless
of the method employed in obtaining
the original item:
When the present editor of the Ogden
Herald assumed temporary editorial
control of the Provo Enquirer. the
Salt Lake Tribune said;
There is great Improvement in the Provo
Enquirer since its former editor went into
involuntary hanishment. The paper now
shows some signs of industry and ability.
wrongly directed though the latter be. The
people of Provo are to be congratulated on
the change
Again, a few days later, the Salt Lake
anti" Mormon" print declared:
Some days ago, the Tribune referred to the
marked Improvement in the Provo Enquirer
since the Involuntary departure of its poly-
gamous and feeble-minded former head,
and we are now all the more confirmed in
the opinion-iSince the present editor of
the 0dgen Herald had assumed CONTROL
About the time the latter compliment
tary notice appeared, gentleman re-
presenting himself as duly authorized
by the Salt Lake Tribune, and whom he
had previously seen in the vicinity of
that prints Office, stopped US in the
streets of Provo and made the present
editor of the Ogden Herald a confiden-
tial offer of much larger salary than
he now obtains. His offer was instantly
and peremptorily rejected. This gen
ieman, we believe, gave the name of
Young, but we know nothing further
of him. This incident may have been
mentioned to President Smoot, of
Provo. At the time THE SALT LAKE
HERALD referred to this matter Mr..
McDaniels, representing himself as es-
pecially commissioned by the Salt Lake
Tribune, called upon us in Ogden. and
asked us if we had authorized the publi-
cation of the statement, relating to the
Tribune's offer. We understand from
this gentleman's questions that the
Tribune Company was indignant be-
cause we had presumably made pri-
vate confidential communication mat
ter of public notoriety, and we assured
him that we had not authorized the Salt
Lake HERALD to print any statement in
regard to the matter. Indeed it has
been our dislike to publicly betray what
we believed the Tribune considered
confidential offer, that has made us slow
to publish statement In which the
public can have but little interest.-Og-
den Herald, 31st.

General. Grant.

New York, March 81, $50 a. m
General Grant thus far passed a very
quiet night, sleeping by turns in chair
and his bed for five hours. At $50 a. m.
he coughed considerably on account of
irritation in his throat, but obtained re-
lief after the use of a gargle. His pulse
is irregular and he has fair amount of
force IN breathing. and he swallows
without difficulty, having just taken
some liquid nourishment.
(Signed) GEO. f. SHRADY, NJ. D.
At nine o'clock callers at General
Grants house learned that the General
was sleeping quietly. A little after that
hour Cyrus W. Field called. He was
told that the entire family had been I'M
all night, and DR.. Shrady had ordered
them to bed this morning. DR.. Shrady
is still on duty at the house, not having
been relieved by DR.. Douglas.
AT IL a. M, DIR. Shrady issued the
following bulletin: General Grant
feels much refreshed after good nights
rest. His pulse has improved somewhat
in fullness and force. He has taken
breakfast with some relish. Some
light amount of soreness of throat has
been relieved by local application"
Shortly after this Dr. Douglas called,
and it was said he had consultation
with Shrady about the ACCESSIBILITY of
allowing General Grant to go out for
drive.
130 p.m.-General Grant is reason
ably comfortable, and partakes of
nourishment with relish.
DR.. Shrady was seen at / o'clock, and
said he regarded the present condition
OF General Grant as very hopeful. A
consultation of the Generals physicians
will be held this afternoon.
4p.m.-Dr. Douglas has issued the
following bulletin: General Grant has
improved in all respects since yesterday.
His sleep is quiet and he is scarcely dis
turbed by the irritation of his throat
Local applications reduced the amount

suffocating feeling which was so dis
agreeable on Sunday. He takes his food
with will and without inconvenience.
