FIG. 2-PEKIN DICKS.

The Pekins are Of comparatively re-
cent introduction, but have won consider
able popularity on account of their large
size, splendid laying powers and striking
appearance. They do not mature so
rapidly as the Aylesbury, and their flesh
is not of the same rich and delicate flavor
as is that of the Aylesbury, Rouen or
Cayuga. On the other hand their eggs
are large and well favored and very
fertile indeed, and the ducklings easy to
rear, for which reasons they have been
largely crossed with the Aylesbury, In
order to counterfeit the evils of inbred
ing in some strains of the latter variety.
The Pekin differs from other ducks Id
the shape and carriage of its body, which
is of peculiar boat shape. The legs
are set well back, and the bird walks
rather upright, or penguin fashion. The
head is large and the neck long; the legs
and bill are of rich yellow and the
plumage generally has a peculiar cream
color running through it. 1t is graceful
on the water, and for crossing with the
Aylesbury Is a very valuable variety.
The progeny are easily fattened and have
good flesh, two important points.

Points Worthy or Attention.

Corn charred on the cob is a good form
of giving charcoal to poultry and swine.
Much difficulty in churning in winter
is due to keeping the cream at too cold O
temperature.
Ensilage has been Almost universally
successful wherever fair trials have been
made, especially in localities where the
winters are long.
Care well for the rect and legs OF
horses when putting them into the stable,
and so prevent scratches and lameness.
Top ventilators In poultry houses are
being vigorously criticised by P. II. Ja-
cobs and other poultrymen.
A Mississippi farmer finds from ca
perience that no stock pays as well for
the time and money invested as a flock
Of sheep proportionate to the amount Of
pasturage.
Light barley boiled Is claimed to be
excellent feed for horses, putting a fine
coat on them, though not SO good for
horses at hard work.
Succulent roots, such as turnips, pars-
nips, beets, etc., require for keeping not
only a cool temperature but moisture
enough in the atmosphere to prevent
shriveling.

Blg-Foot Wallace,

Capt. W. A. A. Wallace, of Frio county,
came in last night. Captain Wallace is
one of the oldest of Texas Indian-fghters,
and is Familiarity known as "Big-f FOOT
Wallace. Captain Wallace was in Austin
when it was but village of few strug-
Cling log cabins. He dug the first we'll
ever in Austin. Captain Wallace with the
governor visited the capitol last night,
and the old veteran was introduced to
several members of the house. He is here
to ask the Legislature for relief, and he
should have it prompt and unanimous.
Captain Wallace for services rendered the
state by his brother, who was killed at the
Fannin massacre, fell heir to lands donated
to his brother, but by an error in the GER
titicates issued, he has lost them, and now
in his old age, poor and with but very
little income, he asks the legislature to
correct an error made by the state officers,
and his request should be granted without
any ifs and ands.

sary to have water dishes so constructed
that they can drink freely without get
ting wet themselves. Ducklings should
be fed about the same as chicks for the
first few days, giving them milk, if it be
had, by mixing their food with it. Care
should be taken the first few days to keep
the young ducklings warm and dry. For
the first week they will suffer more from
cold and wet than chicks; after that time
they will endure more of either than
chicks. Corn meal, exclusively, is too
much concentrated, and will soon cripple
them in their legs and feet. 1t should be
mixed with bran, boiled potatoes, etc.
Of the many varieties Of domestic
ducks, probably the Aylesbury is the
best known, as it is white in its plum
age, the slightest discolored feather de-
noting impurity of breed and being con-
sidered as disqualification for the show
pen. The bills of this breed are of a
pale pink color. The Aylesbury ducks
are easily acclimated; they are hardy,
mature early and grow TO great size.

Facts Worth knowing About Ducks.

OF all the domestic poultry which can
be kept by farmers, ducks are the most
profitable. They are hardy, easy to rear,
quick to fatten, and bring in the proper
seasons very good prices. The idea that
ducks must haze access to either pond
or brook deters many from attempting
to raise them. This idea is, however,
erroneous, for while a pond or running
stream of water is to be desired, it is not
q necessity. Give the birds all the water
they need to drink and they will thrive,
other conditions being favorable. Indeed,
in many instances, they thrive better and
grow quicker confined in yards with just
enough of water to drink. Shade is one
of the essentials to duck growing in warm
weather, also plenty of green feed and
vegetables. Ducks are gross feeders, but
not particular as to quality. 1t is neces-

When you get to the end unlock the

Corn Fodder for Sheep.

Stephen Powers, whose opinions on
farm matters are worthy of consideration,
thinks there is no way of disposing of
corn fodder which affords more salts
faction than to give it to sheep. His
custom is to put one bundle in a Slated
rack twelve or fourteen feet long, divi-
ding it into halves and laying the tip end
of each half toward the outer end of the
rack. This enables every sheep to get a
fair portion Of the foliage, not being re-
stricted to either butts or tips If more
than this amount is put into rack at
once the sheep cannot penetrate it and
pick clean the center OF the mass. The
stalks are thrown out every day, and the
straw oats being scattered over them fill
up the interstices and make, under the
constant trampling of the sheep, solid
bed which retains the liquid manure. In
the spring this is covered over thick with
straw and left until fall to rot 1t is then
perfectly brittle and easy to handle.

HOW TO MILK A cow.
Sensible Suggestions That Commend Then
selves to Dairymen.


selves to Dairymen.
The following pertinent and sensible
suggestions appear, along with other
matters of interest to dairymen at large,
in the Minnesota dairy commissioners
reports.
Always milk in clean, airy place, free
from odors. Before beginning to milk
brush all the loose hair and dirt from the
cows side and udder. If the udder is
soiled have pail of water and cloth or
sponge at hand, and give it thorough
cleaning. Have the hands dry and clean,
and do not wet the cows teats with
milk.
Be gentle with the COW and sit down
to her SO that you can place your head
against her flank and control the move
ment of her leg with your left arm in
case she steps around or is inclined to
kick. The safest position is on three
legged stool; taking the pail firmly be-
tween your knees, not getting SO near
or SO far away that the mixer cannot sit
firmly and steadily and rise quickly.
Take hold of the teat well up on the nd
der and gently stroke it downward before
beginning to milk. Grasp the off hind
teat with the left hand and the near fore
teat with the right, or the off fore teat
with the right hand and the near hind
teat with the left, so as to milk across.
In grasping the teats reach well up on
the udder and press the milk down.
ward into the teat, closing the forefinger
and thumb tightly around it next the I'D
der as soon as the teat comes fairly within
| the hand. Then close the second, third and
fourth fingers in order, giving a slight
but gentle pull on the teat, and squeez-
ing out of it all the milk it contains be-
fore loosening the grip. Repeat this
operation until the milk ceases to flow.
Let every mixer have the same COW
to milk regularly each night and morn
ing, and let him begin every time with
the same one, milking each in the same
order and closing with the same one
every time. This regularity induces a
sort of expectancy of habit in the COWS,
and each is prepared to be MIXED when
her turn comes. There is sort of sur
prise or excitement about being MIXED
out of order that lessons the flow,
When the flow of milk is not large it
is generally necessary to strip first one
pair and then the other to coax the milk
into the teats, or to make the COW "give
down." Grasping the udder high up
and stroking downward to the teat helps
expedite the flow of milk In many
cases the milk does not stream directly
downward into the pail, but off one side.
With little care one can soon get the
right position to turn the stream into the
pail and avoid waste. Strip the teats at
Least twice after eXhausting the first
flow, and be sure the milk is all drawn.

Putting Down Linoleum.

Captain Bush begins work this morning
laying and lacking down linoleum and
carpets in the capitol. He has large
force under him and will push matters as
fast as possible. The linoleum and car
pets on the fourth floor will be laid first,
in order to get them out of the way
Work on the galleries of the two houses

Shelter for Stock.

The farmer who has a big straw stack
has no excuse for allowing his stock to
suffer by exposure to cold or storms,
says American Cultivator. The animals
themselves will burrow holes in the
stack and find shelter if permitted to dc
so. But this is not best, as they may
undermine the stack and be buried under
it. With very little timber and plenty
of straw, however, rough but warm
shelter may be provided at little cost
eXcept for labor,

The Changing Fortune of the Years.

The Mark Lane Express says: "The
fortunes Of the continental vintages have
direct bearing on the position Of Eng
fish agriculture which is generally over
looked. When the phylloxera was
spreading in southern France, the dis
couragement of French farmers was
such that they changed from viticulture
to wheat growing over very extensive
area. And there is also good deal of
wine land, which, as an alternative,
would be favorable to barley.

An Item About Manure.

The shorter the manure the better it
can be distributed over the land, and the
more valuable it is for providing plant
food. All long manure entails useless
labor in its handling. To throw coarse
substances on the manure heap and ex-
pect them to decompose by spring is not
only loss of labor but waste of time

At Fig. is shown a saw horse which
Ohio Farmer thinks is unusually con-
venient, because, when not in use, one
can take out the two cross pieces and

The cut shows how it is made. One of
the cross pieces is left out, and enlarged,

shape of the mortice in the large cross
