The Pekin duck introduced. from
China few years ago. is one o fthe larg-
est varieties and under good manage
ment the most profitable. It's color Is
pure white. which makes ito feathers
popular. II 10 not very hardy, and is
especially susceptible to injury from
wet and filth. IT allowed unrestricted
run in the water in cold weather the
ducks will 60 lame and become nearly
worthless. Kept dry they produce a
picking Of feathers every six weeks
during the warm weather. The females
are also good layers, producing under
favorable conditions loo eggs per sea-
son. This with the feathers makes
pretty good pay for the cost and care Of
keeping.

Bret Sugar In Nebraska.

An experiment is to be made on o
grand scale Mt Grand Island, Neb., in the
manufacture Of beet sugar, the plant to
cost $5O0, 900. The Legislature of that
State has offered q bounty Of l cent per
pound upon all sugar manufactured
therein. A French expert is TO have
charge Of the works.
Alters thorough investigation he says
the soil Of Nebraska 10 far more favor
able for the production Of beets than 10
that of Franco or Germany-countries
wherein the industry has been developed
to very great proportions. The soil OF
Nebraska. he says, contains 3 per cent.
Of phosphoric acid--an important eie-
msnt in sugar produ ction-while the
soils Of European countries contain
only three-tenths of ! per cent. of that
essential quality. The time is evidently
not far distant when this country can
supply its own wants and have sugar to
spare.

OM clothing may be made to look

following plan, says the Philadelphia
Record.
Take, for instance, a shiny, old coat,
vest or pair of trousers, Of broadcloth,
cashmere or diagonal. The u
makes a strong, warm soapsuds and
plunges the garment into it, souses it
up and down, rnbs the dirty places; II
necessary, puts it through o second suds.
then rinses it through several waters and
hangs it to dry on the line.
When nearly dry he takes 1t in, rolls
it up for an hour ortwo andthen presses
it. An old cotton cloth il laid on the
outside of the coat aud the iron passed
over that until the wrinkles are out; but
the iron is removed before the steam
ceases to rise from the goods, else they
would be shiny. Wrinkles that are
obstinate are removed by laying a wet
cloth over them and passing the iron
over that.
Ii any shiny places are seen they are
treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is
lifted, while the full cloud of steam
rises and brings the nap up with 1t.
Good cloth will bear many washings
and look better every time because of
them.

Jersey Cattle fof i3eeG

In some recent experiments by the
Michigan Agricultural College. the SUR
prisinR result was found that Jersey
beef, though costing more per pound 10
fatten, was enough better SO that for
those who appreciate the difference be-
tween good beef and poor it would pay
to fatten it. This is contrary to the
common impression among farmers.
The small size Of Jersey cattle has
turned attention from this breed for the
butcher. but it had in these experiments
. smaller percentage Of waste meat than
any other, end was especially dns
favored in Ill parts. These expert
ments have not been tried far enough
yet to be conclusive. individual
peculiarities Of form have much to do
With the amount of waste in animals,
and the flavor of meat 10, al every one
knows, greatly dependent upon what
the animal has been fed.-American

Poultry Notes.

HERE is the mixture some have found
profitable: Twenty pounds Of corn.
fifteen pounds of oats, ten pounds of
barley and ten pounds wheat bran,
ground fine and we'll mixed.
The hen is " willing buta weak crea-
ture at best, and when the cold wave
dashes on the open shed it freezes her
jocund song and there is no sign of
eggs in the snow drifted nest.
IT has been found that a goose can
stand the weather until "a degrees be-
low zero. Then her feathers wont
save her. Wild ducks can go IL de-
grees lower and come out ontop.
MORE poultry and less pork. Why?
/. Chickens and eggs are more whoie-
some food than hog meat. 2. A bushel
of corn fed to fowls will produce q
greater weight Of food than the same
amount of corr fed to hogs. 3. And
taking into account the amount of
nourishment in the two products, ana
the comparative price, pork is almost
three times as costly n food ~ poultry
and eggs.-Farmers' Rerier.

OH! HOW BLUE.
why People Feel Ready to Die
Upon an Attack of the ssBlues.,,
Sound Advice.


What is the cause OF the blues? Nine out of
ten people have occasional fits of the blues
and accept the fact without inquiring into
the cause. III the vast majority of cases it is
due to nervous disorders of some sort; head
aches failing memory, nervousness. neural
gla are all effects of the same cause The high
pressure at which we live nowadays is to
blame for most of the smaller ills. which are
neglected as being of mo consequence" Yet
these apparently unimportant maladies are
most frequently the forernnners of more
serious illness, and warn of insanity COM
plete prostratlon. paralysis or sudden death
On first notice of the symptoms of approach
ing nervous troubles, such as mental depres-
sion, inability to recall names and faces nerv-
Gus twitching of the muscles, and the others
already mentioned, it is the duty of everyone
to avert the possible danger. To accomplish
this the brain and nerve tissue should be
strengthened and replenished. Paine's Gel
cry Compound, in which the recuperative
quality of celery is carefully preserved by its
process of manufacture will so build up the
nervous system that q new lease of life seems
to have been taken by the suffering individ-

Sleeplessness, which is one of the most fire.
Quent causes of insanity, is itself caused by

by this compound. Indigestion is removed
by producing healthy action of the whole

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.

$50 Tor second patent. SIS. SG@4. 20 for fancy
and export bakers: SI9O@2 % for low
grades in bags, including red dog.
Flour continued steady and moving fairly,
though not actively. The production in the
Northwest is not large just now, and with
former contracts and current sales, millers
are not greatly troubled with a supply of
flour they are unable to dispose Of With
moderate prices of wheat. Europe will take
our flour at cost when we have surplus.
Since the late rise in wheat. perhaps flour
would cost more than IL would fetch, laid
down abroad, but there would at leas:, be
small loss in that disposition of the surplus,
and it would leave clean domestic trade.
