A Night with Artemus Ward.

Francis A. Hoffman, Jr.: / was
sophomore at Knox College, Gales
burg, H. The students of the college
were always on the alert to do some
thing to relieve the suffering of that
little city and vicinity. On one occa-
sion we had the good fortune TO sec1re
as an attraction that eccentric humor-
ist. Artemus Ward. We met him on
his arrival and did all that was proper
In the reception of distinguished
guest The evening came on for the
lecture, and the lecture was delivered.
After its delivery A. Ward was our
guest We took care of him. Before
doing so, however, We counted up the
receipts of the house. Mr.. Ward Tor
Brownel at once became magnanimous.
Our terms with him were that he was
to get one half of the receipts and the
poor one-half. When the proceeds
were counted out Mr.. Ward said, in his
droll way: ~Let the poor have theirs; ;
and you, gentlemen, must al ow me TO
spend my half in your midst. | insist

until the last cent of my half Of the
proceeds of to-night's lecture has been
squaudered. Let us begin at once.
The net proceeds amounted to s7.35.

THE ART OF FEEDING HoRsEs.

An English veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge of
horses should be taught that the stomach
of a horse is not like the rumen of cow,
a mere receptacle for food, but an essen
tial organ of digestion for limited Ca
pacity, which does not need to be crammed
in order to perform its proper functions,
aud that it cannot be so treated without
danger to the animal; and that the teeth
of the horse are provided for the pur-
pose of masticatirg the food, and that
the food which does not require mastica-
ton should be sparingly, if ever used.
He further recommends that no horse be
put to work Immediately aftera full meal
and when horse has done heavy day 5
work it should be allowed to stand in
the stable until it is cool and comfort
able before being fed. A little water
may be given, and if a little good hay be
put into the rack it will occupy his at
tention, and beside requiring proper mas
tication, will further have the effect to
slightly stimulate the stomach to secre-
ton, and prepare 1t for the reception of
the feed which is to follow. Should a
horse require more food than usual to
supply the extra waste of tissues caused
by hard work, give it by all means, bul
let it be in excess in its albuminoids, an
let the horse be FED oftener and not I'M
creased quantities at time.-Horse and
Stable.

TESTIMONY IN rAvos OF DUCKS.

There are many advantages in raising
ducks, one of which il that ON a small
place where you wish to have garden a
very low fence will keep them inside OF
their own lot. They grow quickly and
are tirst-class table fowls, are less liable
to diseases than chickens and will lay in
as many eggs. If provided with good
shelter and feed they will lay early in
February and continue IN regularly until
late in the spring or early summer. When
quite small they need attention, but after
the feathers make good start they can
be let run and, wifi the exception OF
being fed and watereo, they will need
but little care. They are remarkably
good foragers, and if given the run of
the orchard or a gras, lot will pick up
the greater part of their own living.
They should have comfortable quarters
and plenty of water for drink, but a
pond or running stream may be dis
pensed with, as they will thrive quite
well without either. The Pekin is one
of the best varieties, on account of Its
size and color, and the feathers may be
picked during the summer. Ducks,
however, should not be picked during
their laying season. -Ne,O York. World.

It is mistake to suppose that ex-
tremely rich soil is needed to grow pay
ing crops of tomatoes. The fact that IN
olden times they were mainly planted on
highly manfred gardens led to this err
roneous notion. But it is also the fact
that as these grow the plants ran too
much to leaf and too little to fruit. The
fruit where much manure is used is also
more liable to rot. This crop uses more
of potash ard phosphate than potatoes,
and if bo5h these minerals were supplied
the plant would be properly balanced,
and Its fruit less liable to premature de-
cay. Dry, sandy soils with mineral fer
tilizers produce earlier and better crops
