Pacific railroad, the free transportation of pas
sengers over that line on annual or trip passes
Is equal 10 about $4,000 per day. He does not
say so, but he might well admit that three
fourths of these passes are issued for the pur-
pose of influencing, either directly or Indirectly,
national and state legislation and the officers OF
territorial, state and federal courts. Thus the
public is twice robbed. First, in having to
make UP in higher rates for passage and
freight the deficit thus created in the earnings
OF the road, and second, in seeing corporations
placed on a more favorable plane in matters OF
legislative and Judicial action than individuals
can ever hope TO reach. And what As true of
the Union Pacific road is true in greater or less
degree of the majority OF the railroads OF the
country.

The Care OF Duuk,..


hWtIttAW hUItVuWWEs
Ducks are very pleasant feature Of
farm yard surroundings. In the last Of
winter and early spring they are soCiablv
and busy enough, especially on warm
dayp, aud begin to lay very early. The
duck almost always lays her egg between
six and nine o'clock, 30 the flock must
be kept shut up until all have laid. We
have found ducks to do better II they can
be confined, In winter, in a shed where
the horse manure is thrown out, than
anywhere else. The heaps Of manure
heat somewhat, and the ducks enjoy the
warmth. II makes them lay early, and
the eggs are not likely to frsese
II we get severe "snaps. Barley and
oats are excellent feed for ducks.
II these or any grains are thrown into
shallow tub, or trough, they will
soak and be oil the better reliahed. Pekin
ducks are among the best layers, by tar
the best In our experience, laying not up
frequently sixty to eighty eggs each, In
the spring, and often again In the autumn,
II the weather is warm, IfduCks are moi
confined at night, they will make nests In
some hedge-row or secluded spot difficult
to find, and one will become hroody after
laying sixteen to twenty eggs, or as soon
as she has good clutch. When confined
as we suggested, they rarely make ngAts.
but drop their eggs about anywhere.
Ducks arc very fond Of wateiCress, and II
they nave access 10 the watercress bed al
the spring, there will soon DO none LIFT ioi
the Balad.bowl. Wire.netting, foot III
hight, will form an elieCtual barrier,

The greatest profit in poultry keeping Il
from the early chickens. BY good feed

may be breeding In January, and all the
chicks may be saved by the used Of arti
fetal brooders. InCubators are used by
experts with success, bnt farmers and or
binary poultry keepers are rarely sue
CeBsful with these machines. Broodets
however, may be used by any person
even a boy or girl. who will simply
sec that the heat Is not excessive, ant
when the chicks open their mouLhs, give
them fresh air. Eighty degrees Is quite
enough warmth for newly Matched chicks
which are taken from the nest aSthey
come out, and are placed in the hrOodei
until all the brood iB out, when they may
be removed to warm, glazed coop, with
the hen. We shave had young chicks thur

peculiar circumstances which prevented
her from gaining any practical knowledge
or experience. "0ommon sense Is all you
need in housekeeping" rePllsd the ex-
psrienced and very successful housekeeper
whom the question was addressed, Com
mon sense supplemented by the best in
struetiOn attainsble, and by observation,
will make housekeeping pleasure rather
than burden. But MI the teaching in

In the morning, just as the hens come
OF, is the time to give them the soft food,
and it should be warm and stimulating
but do not give them all they can eat, nor
feed them on the ground, but rsthsr give
only enough to afford them partial break
fast, aud then makeIthem ,cratch, ii necess-
airy compelling them to go hungry until
night, rather than they should nope
around aud bseoms lszy and idle. At
night stuff them with all the mixed grain
they want. Taere are many ways of pre-
pairing cheap, nourishing food, which may
contain all the elements OF the eggs.
OPS Of the best is as follows; Take q
piece OF liver, rough bsei, or even blood
(about p0undl, and boil 1t t0pieces Ia half
L gallon OF water, adding more when too
much has eVaporated, While boiling add
half pint OF soaked beans, the same OF
rice and the same Of linseed meal. When
the wbele is cooked add salt to taste aud
thicken with two parts ground oats, one
part bran, one part middlings and one OF
corn meal. Add the mixed ground grain
until the mess has thickensd to a stiff
dough. II it burns o little no harm will
ba done. Then stir In a half pint OF
ground bone, II milk bs convenient 1t
may also bs added ,'either rs Cnrds, but
terlnilk or in gny other shape. When
boiling add a tablespoonful OF bread soda
to the water. This food may be cooked in
the shape Of clkea and crumbled ior the
ioWls or fed in the soft state, a table
spoonful IL sufficient Tor esch hen, Just
before adding the ground grain chopped
clover may be- placed in the boiler also.
Another good mess Is to chop clover
very fine and steep it over night In boil
lug water, In this morning let the water
come to boil, add "a quart OF fresh bull
lock's blood TO each gallon al water;
thicken with mixed ground grain as bsiOre,
and feed, Condiments, surh as red pep.
per, ginger, ETC., should be fed 'sparinGly,
OaCe or twice q week Is often enough, but
all the soft food should bs sailed 10 suit
the taste, as salt IL as essential TO poultry
as to larger stock.
