Moving Settlers.

The difficulty in having our
hens sit Just when we desire is
fully understood by all breeders.
Cases often occur when we have
valuable eggs which ought to be
Immediately started in the hatch
ing process, but for lack of a
n brooding hen we are obliged to
wait till one SIS willing"-a mat
ter requiring time. This de-
ficiency of incubators can readily
be supplyed by buying sitting
hens from farmers. h
Hens of this persuasion they
often have in abundance, and are
only too glad to sell them to who
ever viii buy. Thus both parties
are accommodated. 1t is best to
move them at night. Have their
new quarters resemble rs much
as possible their old ones, espe-
cially so as regards the nest. II
they occupied barrel, box or bas-
ket. give them the same, Place
china eggs in the nest
till the hens sitting qualities
are proved, then entrust to then
the genuine. If a poultry-breed
er cannot successfully adopt a sit
ting hen, he lacks patience or tact
or both.

hungry for hours and suffered very
much. Tobe successful the ponf-
try maid must be up with the lark.
Most persons say that young tur-
keys are very delicate. This is
not to be wondered at when it is
remembered that they are general
ly fed on whole grain, without
milk, long before they arrive at
the proper age, and suffer accor-
dinghy. Some have SO great a
fear of the trouble and uncertain
ty of rearing them that they will
make no attempt. l believe that
turkeys with proper management
can be raised as easily as chickens
and with as great a degree of GER
tainty. / have know persons who
have reared them for years in sue
cession, and lost very few, while in
other hands fifty per cent. or more
had been lost. Following these
rules | have not had much trouble
with my turkeys; and raised last
year a fine drove of Bronze tur-
keys; and think at present prices
raising poultry is a much more
pleasant and easy occupation than
any other work ON the farm.

The Century Dictionary

For the past five years The
Century Co. has been engaged in
preparing dictionary of the
English language, of which Pro-
fessor William D. Whitney, of
Yale College, is editor-in-chief,-
the purpose being to make more
comprehensive work than has yet
appeared in popular form, to in
Guide, in addition to very full
collection of individual words in
all departments of the language,
all technical phrases, not self-ex-
planning, in law, the mechanical
arts, the sciences, etc. Indeed, it
is designed to make this dictionary
so complete in its definitions of all
branches of science and art that
even the specialist will need
nothing further. The number of
new words in many of these de-
partments is said to be surprising
ly great. The dictionary will have
also remarkably complete sys-
tenn of cross-references, and will
embody in itself dictionary of
synonyms which will add greatly
to its value.
A prominent feature of the new
work will be its encyclopedia
character. Its definitions will be
fuller and more complete than is
customary in works of this kind;
it will go further into the various
uses and meanings of words, and
in many cases will give full ex-
plantations and descriptions of
matters historical, scientific, legal,
mechanical, etc. Quite an army |

Ducks for Profit.

The Pekin white ducks are our
favorite, and better adapted for
this country than the Aylesbury.
They breed very true, are of the
largest size and look almost like
geese in the water or on the lawn.
Their plumage is creamy white, of
a very brilliant and rich tint.
These ducks are extraordinarily
prolific, laying often from very
early spring late into the summer
without any inclination to sit.
Their eggs must ordinarily be
Matched in incubators or under
hens. The old standard Rouen
ducks need no commentator.
Their merits are well know. The
heaviest of all breeds of ducls,
reasonably prolifc-often being
autumn layers, growing rapidly,
fattening easily, excellent upon
the table, favorites in the market,
handsome the brakes having bril-
liant irridiscent heads and ex-
quisitely beautiful plumage, with
the bright blue mirror in the
wings. They contrast strongly with
their somber colored mates which
are nevertheless attractive from
the beautiful markings offeathers.

For Ambitious Boys.

A boy is something like a piece
Of iron, which in its rough state
isn't worth much, nor is it of very
much use; but the more processes
it is put through the more valua-
it becomes. A bar of iron that is
only worth s. in its natural state
is worth So when it is made into
horse-shoes; and after it goes
through the different processes by
which it is made into needles its
value is increased to $3.50. Made
into knife blades it would be worth
$4,000, and into balance springs
for watches S250,000. Just think
of that, boys, a piece of iron that,
is comparatively worthless can be
developed into such valuable
material!
But the iron has to 60 through
a good deal of hammering and
beating, and rolling and pounding,
and polishing; and if you are to
become useful and educated men
you must go through along course
of study and training. The more
time you spend in hard study the
better material you will make.
The iron doesn't have to go
through half as much to be made
into horse-shoes as it does to be
converted into delicate watch
springs, but think how much less
valuable it is. Which would you
rather be, horse-shoes or watch
springs? Itdepends on yourselves.
You can become whatever you will.
This is your time of preparation
for manhood.
Don't think that you should set
tie down at real study all the time
without any intervals of fun. Not
a bit of it. Boys should have a
good time; it is pity to see some
grow old before their time; but
you have ample opportunity for
study and play too, and you must
not neglect the former for the
sake of the latter.-The Golden
AruoSy

Time to Market.

Whether the farmer should
thresh his grain as soon as posi-
BILE and market it at once, depends
upon circumstances of which the
most important is the character of
his graneries. Our experience
and observation extends over year
convinces US that the better plan
is to market at onces, unless pro-
vided with good graneries. The
market quotations show that usu-
ally there is a considerable adj
vance in the price of oats and
wheat from the fall to the sue
ceeding summer; but to Offset this
there is the non use of the money,
the shrinkage of the grain and its
waste and damage by vermin, to
which should be added the ex-
pense of insurance. Yet if the
farmer hassgood graneries, he will
find it profitable to hold his small
grain year after year. If such a
grainery is lacking, the better plan
is to market the grain as soon
as threshed or as soon after
as it can be conveniently disposed

American and English books in
search of quotations, of which an
immense number viii be used.
American writer's, such as Emer-l

Whittier, Longfellow, Holmes,
and our distinguished scientists,
are receiving special attention.
/ The publishers are taking great
pains with illustrations, of which
there will be about 5000. They
are employing the same class of
artists and engravers that con-
tribute to their magazines, and
they mean to make the result
something hitherto unknown in
the world Of dictionaries. Each
picture as it is drawn, and again
after tits engraved, is submitted
to the specialist to whose depart
ment it belongs, that its scientific
accuracy maY,be guaranteed. Of
these specialists there are about
thirty, working at their homes in
New York, Baltimore, Washington
New Haven, Cambridge, and else
where, each being individually
responsible for all the definitions
i'll his department, and all under
the general supervision of Prof.
Whitney, who will himself have
Especial charge of the definitions in
the department. of philology, in
which he is famous, and of the
spelling and pronunciation. 1t is
understood that the will not adopt
a phonetic method of spelling,
though on theoretical grounds he
is known to favor it. Professor
Whitney is not only recognized as
the most eminent American
philologist, but the London
Saturday Review" has recently
pronounced him the foremost
English-speaking scholar in his
department. In addition to the
specialist, force of about fifty
assistants has been busy collating
material and preparing copy for

is done with type-writing ma
lchines at the Century Co.'S office.

twas desire to improve and
Americanize the Imperial Die
tionary" of Great Britain, brought
out in this country by The Cen
tury Co. five years ago. AS the
work of altering it advanced, il
became apparent that a better
plan was to begin DE Novo, and
SO the far greater work of making
a new dictionary of the English
language was begun. Two or three
years must still elapse before il
will appear, and in the mean time
opportunity is offered by the
publishers to those interested in
helping on so useful a work tc
contribute material and sugges.
tons to it. Much valuable matter
has been received in this way
from many scholars and practical
men all over the world.
1t is estimated that upwards Of
a quarter of million of dollars
will be spent upon The Century
Dictionary before it is ready fol-
publication. The work of type.
setting and printing will be done
by the De Winnie Press, in the
new building into which they
have rerently moved.
