of moderate size, less in size in fact than
is habitualiy produced by the scrub
weighing 600 or 70o pounds.
Breeders, rs rule, dislike to see their
large, fine bred COWS drop large framed
calves, for the tendency of all such is to-

CARE or YOUNG DUCKS.

Ducks had best not be tuken from the
nest TIL they are twcnty-four hours old.
They may then be put in ilocks of twenty
or twenty five, i'll grassy pcu from
twelve to fifteen feet square and about
two feet high
The pen should be movable, and be
frequently changed, rs it will soon be-
come filthy, and should be provided with
a tight shed or box for IL roosting place.

heavy sucking lined with flannel or cot.
ton flannel be tackled to the top of n two
or three inch high, thrce-sided frame, so
it will sag little, and thus make warm
place for the ducklings TO hover under
and roost under ut night, be placed in
the shed or box, they will do just us well
without hen rs with one; for all the
use they have for her is to hover them
at night
For the lirst two Or three days they
should be fed stale wheat bread moist
cned with milk; after this should
come curtls, table scraps, cooked vegeta.
blcs, corn meal dough, chopped lettuce,
beet leaves, onion tops, etc, etc. Either
sweet or sour milk is good for them, and
some gravel must be supplied.
They must never be allowed TO be
without II supply of drinking water, rs
their thirst is insatiatc. They never
seem TO sleep, and will go to IL drink
ing vessel many times i'll the night
After they are three or four weeks old
all vegetable refuse from the kitchen may
he given them. A duck is no cpicurc,
and will grccdily dcvour anything that
comes within reach. They would ms
soon nip oil your handsomcst flowers or
choicest vegetables us not, but, rs they

keeping even Il grown Pckin or Roucn
duck within bounds, this is no serious
disadvantage.
Until ducks are frathercd out they arc
very susceptible to dampness, and for
this reason must be kept out of the dew
aud rain, and should not be allowed
access to stream of water for n swim.
The only cause OF mortality among duck
linss-if plenty Of drinking water is
supplicd-is cramps, resulting from
dampncss, SO if this be guarded against
one may reasonably expect to raise every
duckling that is hatchod.
With the exception of an occasional
afternoon run in the orchard-wherc are
always kept our ducklings--we did not
allow our ducks out of the pen till they
were feathcrcd. After that they were
allowed the range Of the farm, and were
not fed, except II light feed OF grain at
night rs an inducemcnt to always return
Ducks are susceptible to heat, and
should always be supplied with shade
that they may run ut pleasure.

can ba picked every six weeks from

PROTECTION oy CORN.

Among the methods which have been
tested ior the protection OF corn from
the striped squirrel arc the following:
Smoking with meat in au ordinary
smokchouse until the kernels are black :;
smoking iii = barrel with tobacco dust /;
smoking over night in strong decoctions
OF tobacco and Of quassa chips; soaking
III solution Of dilute carbol;c acid, in
strong alum water, in salt water and in
Kerosene. None of these methods were
altogether effective, although the car5olic
acid treatment and the smoking with to.
bacco made the cora SO distastcful that
when it was in the vicinity of other
grain it would be left until the last. The
best remedy WAS found to he the har
rowing of the ground Immediately after
painting, TO cover the planters tracks,
and then to scatter corn about the border
OF the fields and in the neighborhood Of
the squirrel holes rs soon rs the corn be.
gan to come up Chicago Netos.

Animals and i.artlluInkrs.

The effect Of volcanic phenomena on
the lower animals has often been the sub.
ject OF discussion. The records Of most
great earthquakes refer to the constcrna
ton of dogs, horses, cattle and other
domestic animals. Fish aud other aquatic
creatures are also much disturbed mt such
times. In the London earthquake OF
IA? thou; ands of fish in the canal showed
evident signs of confusion and frirlt.
During the Toxic earthquake of 1850
cats inside Of houses ran abou. tryinr TO
escape; foxes barlcd and horses tricl to
tear down the stable which confined
them. There can, therefore, be 70 doubt
that animals know that something I'M.
USUAL and terrifying is taking place.
More interesting than these ar. the obsrr-
vations showing tina, nearly nil classc,
OF animals are agitatcd just before M
earthquake takes place. Horses and
ponies have been known to prancc around
in their stalls in an uneasy manner;
phcasants tn scream and frogs to cease
croaking suddenly just before a shock.
rs ii aware Of its coming The Japan
este say that mOlcs show their fear nj
such times by leaving their burrows be-
lore the shock takes place, the presence
oil four or five Of the little creature,
on the surface in n garden being sulii-
c;ent to cause panic. Many birds show
their urcasincss before an earthquake by
hiding their heads under thcir win.ss
and otherwise behaving in M unusual
manner. At the time of the Calabrian
shock the little tish-liic ecls tcirricc,li),
which usually hide deep in the wet sand,
came to the top and were caught in great
multitudcS. In South Amcricl certain
lnadrupcds, such as dogs, cats and icr-
boas, are believed by people to give
warning of coming danger by their rest
iessncss. Sometimes immense llochs Of
sca-biris fly inland before nh earthquake,

Instruments for Skin Grating.

The process of skin grating, OF which
modern surgeons are largely avaiIiny
themselves, has led to the invention Of 4,
wonderful little instrument. By this
invention large portions of the cpidcr mis-
can be separated from the subcitaneou,
tissue with the greatest case and simple
ity. The thickness OF these dcIic,te
human plasters is ordinarily about one.
sixticth of an inch, and the resulting
hemorrhage is not more than is caused
by slight abrasion OF the skin. or n

new over the old method of epidermic
detachment are obvious. 1t is exDcdi-
tious, the sections of shaved cuticic ar,
much larger and of more uniform
thickness that can be obtained by the
most dextcrous manipulation, and the
chances Of successful grating are in
creased by the fact that the skin is trans

There IS no good reason for keeping a

way Is to cut the knots away and burn
them. If the knife docs not pass several

and all the knots burned. These knots
