How the IceIanders Make the Poor Bird
strip Herself of Her PIumage.
The elder duck constitutes the wealth
ana may be said to make the prosperi-
ty of the Icelanders. The three islands,
Videy, Engey and Ahrey, in front of the
harbor not far from Reykjavik, are the
favorite haunts of the ducks. Here
they pair and make their nests every
year about the beginning OF June.
When the female has chosen the
place where she wishes TO lay her eggs
she plucks from her plumage the
feathers which she uses to line the
bottom and sides of her nest; then she
generally lays six eggs, rarely more.
During this time drake, like the good
father of family that he is, ceases not

cation of wishing to take walk.

How to Fatten Old Cows.

There is a widespread prejudice
against COW beef. The butchers do
not like it because a fattened old COW
has larger proportion OF waste than
a young animal, and as often fattened,
the beef is apt to be tough. There are
many exceptions to this, and some
farmers claim to know how to fatten
cows so that their meat shall be tender
and delicious. The main secret seems
to be to fatten quickly and give due
proportion of succulent food. The
high quality of English roast beef is
largely due to feeding on roots or man
gels. Oil cake is better than Indian
meal, for the reason that though rich
it is not heating nor constipating.
Feed enough roots, pumpkins or en-
silage to keep the digestion good, and
enough grain TO fatten quickly. The
best beef / ever ate was that from an
old cow that had been fattened mainly
on refuse Hubbard squash in a season
when this vegetable was especially
abundant and cheap. Philadelphia

There is little difficulty in retain
