just Like a Divorce.

Judge Sanders had a matrimonial case
before him yesterday. A man living near
the depot was arrested for choking his wife.
He said he intended to leave hsr anyhow,
and was willing to give her a bill of sale on
his house and lot and furniture. This was
agreeable to the wife, and the assault case
was dropped. The judge drew up the bill
of sale and it was signed. The woman then
wanted the children and asked that they be
inserted in the bill of sale. Judge Sanders
said he could not put the children In and
the wife was forced to accept her husbands
word that she might have them.

THE DAIRY.
Cattle Breeding.

The best beef has usually sold at a
profit through all the seasons of depres-
sion. The exception may be accounted
for In the improper methods of feeding,
and neglect TO improve the best time for
marketing. Every general farmer should
grow good-grade cattle-every animal
the progency of pure-bred sire OF any
OF the recognized beef breeds, and the
dam should be OF the best type Of cows,
herself the get of choice sire with as
much good blood back OF him as is OBJ
tainable. The cows should be trained to
milk well; and II their capacity after o
full test, when three years old, does not
reach an average of four gallons per day
during at least $50 days in the year, great
effort should be made to breed them so
that their progeny will be more surely in
the milking strains. Half of such q cows
milk should go to the calf until six
months old, the balance to good use for
butter or cheese and the dross to the
pigs. A 3-year-old cow whose average
milk production is less than three gallons

Is Duck Raising Profitable?

In a recent issue OF our paper O cor
respondent asked for information in re-
gard to duck-culture. From some ex-
perience in the matter, / draw the fol-
lowing conclusions:
/. The Pekin or Aylesbury ducks
seem to be best adapted for purely econ
omical purposes, having large bodies,
white plumage, and habit of extremely
rapid growth. They are prolific egg
producers, and the eggs hatch well.
2. My experience with the young has
been that extreme care Is necessary for
the first two or three days after they are
Matched, as they do not begin to eat or
drink readily, even when twenty-four or
thirty-slx hours old. A little patience,
however, in teaching them TO eat will
overcome this difiiculty-if difficulty
others have found IL. When they once
begin TO eat they will need no urging, as
any one who attempts 70 feed q couple
Of hundred will soon find out.
3. Their growth from the shell up to
the time when they are eight or nine
weeks old is simply marvellous. One can
almost see their bodies expanding. But
TO sustain such growth they must have
a large supply OF growth-producing foods
milk, meat, bran, oats and whole wheat
steamed, chopped clover steamed, and
some corn meal, or better, cracked corn.
To secure the greatest profit the young
stock should be marketed at about eight
weeks OF age. Prices in other years have
been very good for young ducks at the
proper season In the spring. in May and
June, but the present season has seen q
decrease in prices believe-probably
owing TO the large number that are pro-
duced. A great many have doubtless

Farmers Barn Yards

Some day, when you have nothing else
to do, take ride through the country
and count all the neatly-kept barn-yards
you see. Even II you have other duties,
go, If for no other reason than out of
curiosity. In ride of twenty miles you
will not see ten half neatly-kept barn
yards. and not more than two-more
likely not one-as IL should be kept.
You will see wagon here, another there,
over there a sled and i'm another place a
hay-rack, fat on the ground, all ranged
about the middle of the lot; and besides
all these things you will see plows, corn
planter, harrows, small hay-stacks, piles
of boards, rails, posts and many other
things l cannot now enumerate, thrown
around in haphazGrd way that ought
to put any farmer to shame. Not a
blade of grass to be seen, when there
should be well-sodded yard.
In thinking of the many, many farmers
/ have known, l can remember but one
who has well-kept barn-yard. And, as
the yard indicates, he is very method
ical farmer. "a place for everything
and everything In its place." is his motto,
and the entire farm shows that his motto
has become reality, not mere theory.
When he drives into the lot his wagon
has place of its own; each piece of ma
chinery has its own place. Nothing is
left in the center of the lot for horse to
run over and perhaps cripple itself. This
barn-yard furnishes pasture for two work
horses during the summer nights, and
for four or five calves through the entire
summer; yet, 1t does not contain over
two acres. But the horses are never al
lowed to run in it when the ground is
soft. OF course, il never becomes cut up
and rough. The farmer has hauled
plenty of gravel about the barn, and lit
tie or no mud is found there.
AS most barn-lots are along the road
in line with the house-yard, one would
suppose as much care would be taken to
keep them in order as is used on other
promises. There is just where you are
mistaken, as a ride will convince you.
The house-yard may be perfectly neat
and the adjoining barn-lot may be a per-
feet slough OF filth and disorder.
Why do not these men realize that
their lots are but lots on an otherwise
lovely picture? Why not use a little
forethought when driving in with ma
chinery and vehicles? 1t takes no longer
to drive wagon to the same place each
time, than it does to unhitch wherever
the horses may happen to stop.
But" says one, II haven't ROOM"
You think you have not room simply
because your lot is In such a confused
tumble that you do not know yourself
how much room you have until you "size
up" as the housckcepers say. just try
1t once; If not for your own satisfaction,
do so for the pleasure of the people who
pass your place. AT first they may make
remarks and be inclined to wonder what
can have taken possession Of you, it is Sc
unlike yon TO have order in your barn.
yard. But never do you mind their talk,
when this systematic plan has become a
habit with you, others may be led, seeing

daily for two-thirds Of a year has no pro-
fitable place on the average farm. The
four-gallon COW described above, under
right management, will pay her way and
give to her owner a compound calf at six
months old, free of charge, which may
be counted the average animal profit
from herd of good cows. With such a
steer of heifer calf it may be fed to early
maturity, say at 600 days age. Under
successful feeding for beef it will never
become well acquainted with hunger, nor
should il ever be allowed to become dys-
peptic from full satisfaction at the feed
box. There is a right principle to fol-
low in the successful production OF beef
and butter. The above outline applies
to the general farmer who lives five miles
or more from village of 1000 or more
population or a railway station-hss farm
land being worth $40 TO 500 per acre.
The special dairyman who sells milk in
town by retail, or ships to the city whole
sale trade may (?) ignore the calf and
the beef question. The large farms
where help is scarce and high priced and
the land worth less than $50 per acre,
may dispense with great mixers by care
full management, grazing the COW princi-
pally, and the steers after 12-months-old,
putting the latter on the market at thirty
months of age instead Of twenty months.
But the prosperous cattleman must be a
business man-one of natural ability; and
the more he knows of the world of bust
ness the better chance for profit from his
calling.-Ordnge Judd FdTmer.
