Half Three Acres and Cow.

In the near vicinity of a thriving
manufacturing town in Scotland, with
q population Of about Is, 600 inhabi-
tants, many of whom have small
gardens, there live a worthy couple
and their six children, who have not
so mach land as ''three acres" but
only about the one half of this guam
tity and no more. they have got the
''cow" however, and a pig Or two, and
they raise good deal of market pre-
duce such as straw berries, rasberries,
gooseberries, lettucs, cabbage, etc.,
Ia their season. Husband and wife,
and the children as they grow up,
work upon that bit of ground in
dustriously; they are never idle; they
till the land manure 1t, and keep it in
perfection. Not foot,of it is incum-
bered with weeds, Or is allowed to lie
waste From early morning till
evening some one Or other are bravely
engaged on it at the proper season.
and IN consequence the soil is lovingly
grateful to them for if, and repays
them well, as it always generously
does, for the care and attention bestow-
ed upon it. 1t may be mentioned that
the small but well-built dwelling
house which stands in corner cf the
land, and also the cow-house, etc.,
have been bought and paid for out of
their savings, and now all that they
have to pay for their snug little place
is aa annual ground rent of about "a
Or SO. Of course had there been a
score Or two of such families as this
living near this small town, vegetables
and fruits would have been cheapened;
but there is ample room in the out
skirts Of all our large cities and towns
for thousands of families to make 8
cumfortable and pleasant living if
they have the mind and determination
TO try it.

Profits in Ducks.
From the Poultry Keeper.

81 reqest the privileges of stating to
numerous inquiries by way of more
detailed information that I Matched
out last season seme 5000 ducklings.
They were put on the market at cost
of less than % cents per head, when
prices ruled lowest TO 81 so when
prices wers highest. The ducks were
all Matched and raised artifcially,
and after the first day or two not a
duck was lost of Of the entire lot dur
ing the season except from accident.
I have found the growing of ducks
for market fully as profitable as
young chick, for as many pounds
can be pull on duck at weeks, as on
a chicken at 19 weeks. Ducks can be
grown at cost of five cents a pound
(where corn meal costs So per leo
pounds.) A building rs feet long and
ID feet wide, with a quarter of an
acre of ground is ample room for l.
600 ducks. We feed the Same as for
chicks, except a little more animal
feed. We do not feed cracked corn or
hard food of any kind until after
they are five weeks old. The duck
lings should be confined in small
run with only room enough for
exercise, and given only enough
water to drink. They will readily fat

Mrs. Linley advanced to receive the new
member of her household, with the irTeSiSti.
bic grace and kindness which charmed every
stranger who approached her. "Oh, it's all
right" said Kitty. ''Syd likes me, and /
like sgd. What do you think? She lived in
London with a cruel woman who never gave
her enough to eat. See what good girl
am! Pm beginning to feed her already"
Kitty pulled box Of sWeetmeats out of her
pocket, and handed it to the governess with
a tap on the lid, suggestive of an old gentle
man offering pinch of snuff to friend
MY dear child, you mustn't speak to Miss
Westerfeld in that way! Pray excuse her,"
said Mrs. Linley, turning to Sydney with a
smile; Il am afraid she has been disturbing
you in your room"
Sydney's silent answer touched the moth

gently; sit reminds me Of a happier time"
Her voice faltered; she could say no more
Kitty explained, with the air ola grown per
son encouraging child. 81 know all about
1t, mamma. She means the time when her
papa was alive. She lost her papa when she
was little girl like me. l didn't disturb
her. l only said My names Kitty; may

Mrs. Linley led Sydney to the sofa and stop
ped the flow Of her daughters narrative.
The look, the voice, the manner of the gov

to her generous nature. When her husband

city or country towns on court days
or on Saturdays, and see the number
of horses of all kinds, and conditions
that stand there tied and almost touch
ing each other in every available space
about town, to say nothing of the
numbers packed together in the pub
lie stables. The latter as rule, are
much safer from coming in contact
with disease than those outside, for
no sensible stahlemen would admit
an animal inside his stable that is at
fected with any kind of contagious
disease if he knew it; but it often hap
pens that neither the owner of the
horse nor the stablemen is aware of
the disease until it is too late to RENE
dythe evil.
Contagions diseases of most viru-
lent character may be perpetuated for
an indefinite length of time by feed
ing horses In stalls where the disease
has existed. Of this kind we may
mention CHAMBERS and Spanish itch es-
pecially. Either of those most fatal
disorders may be conveyed to other
horses by feeding in a stall where
horses suffering with them have been
kept. 70 destroy the virus, take pint
of suiphuric acid and put it in buck
ct of water, and with an I'D mop wash
all parts of the stall, especially the
trough and mapger, as well as the
sides of the stall. Then put a few
pounds of stick sulphur ia an old iron
pot, and stopping the stable as well
as possible, burn it so as to fumigate
the stable thoroughly, taking due pre-
cautions against fire. It is a good
plan to set the pot in tub OF water:
then white WASH with lime and carbol-
ic acid. This will protect them thor
cughly.

ten if treated IN this way. Welike the
Pekins the best, as they are the best

chicken and duck buildings are 70 or

Just glass enough to heat the build

about two acres of land. The yards
are subdivi6ed by wire netting into
small compartments of about 10xS0.
Into one Of these yards I put about
200 ducklings. The ducks are ready
for market when s or 8 weeks old.
They should then weigh from to IL
pounds per pair.
This sentleman's experienc e in rear
ing ducks accord with my own, and
those who contemplate the breeding
of ducks can depend that his state
ments are not overdrawn. For mar
ket purposes / believe the rearing of
ducks to pay better than chicks be-
cause, as MIR. Rankin says, they rare
~ die day Or two after unless killed
by accident, and the most careful
breeders Of chickens frequently lose
about % per cent from gaps, roup, leg
weakness, or some of the other evils
of chickenhood with which young
ducks are never afflicted.
