high Breed. But Worthless

The country is full Of horses with
pedigrees, well bred and deeply bred in
trotting lines that for all practical uses
for which the horse was intended are
worthless; and it is this class Of animals
that causes the uneasiness in regard to
prices which manifests itself every little
while. And so long as breeders gener-
ally continue this line of breeding the
good ones will never deprecate in value,
but steadily grow higher. 1t is an
admitted fact that no one knows how
to breed great trotter every time, and
it is the truth of this great fact that
causes proper selection to stand out
more prominently and demand more
attention.; the failures to accomplish the
object sought to be attained will be
numerous enough with all the attention,
study and thought that one can possibly
give to the subject. -Wallace's Monthly.

THE POULTRY YARD.
Duok Keeping.

| shall endeavCr to make it clear that
ducks, when properly managed, are a
source of profit, and even when kept in
very confined places, With only an
available space of from eight to ten
square yards, pen of ducks can be kept
with less trouble, cleaner and healthier
than pen of fowls.
There are very many who start keep
ing ducks that soon give them up
through some fault in the system of
management, and having failed to keep
them in satisfactory manner, they con-
denim them and say they are dirty crea-
lures, big eaters, cannot be kept healthy
in confined places, are unprofita BILE,
ETC., all of which is wholly without foun-
dation.
AS regards cleanliness, there is not
any creature that uakes more time and
care in cleaning itself. The duck will
preen and dress its feathers by the hour
together; therefore, if it has the means
it will keep itself clean. They will live
and thrive upon coarser and less costly
food than fowls, and yield greater
weight OF eggs. Scraps, potato parings
and other waste from the food supply Of
most houses is usually thrown into the
dustbin; this cooked and mixed with
middltngs (the dressings from wheaton

Gent food for pen of ducks. Still they
should have some corn each day.
When keeping Aylesbury, Pekin, or
common farmyard ducks. l have always
had more than eighty eggs from each
during the season, averaging in weight
two and one quarter ounces. Some
people object to the flavor of the eggs,
which depends very much upon where
the ducks are kept and the kind of food
supplied to them. The eggs supplied
with clean water, sweet and wholesome
food, and kept on a smooth hard floor
which is kept clean, are entirely differ

is anything at the we'll for you. Come,
David, the psalmist, have you anything
encouraging to offer them? Eyes," says
the psalmist; They shall still bring forth
fruit in old age they shall be fat and

prophecies for these aged people? eyes, 1"
says Isaiah: Down to old age l am with

Well, if the Lord is going to carry you,
you ought not to worry much about your
failing eyesight and failing limbs. You
get little worried for fear sometime
you will come TO want, do you? Your
children and grandchildren sometimes
speak little sharp at you because of
your ailments. The Lord will not speak
sharp. Do you think you will come to
want? Who do you think the Lord is?
Are His granaries empty? Will He feed
the raven and the rabbit, and the lion in
the desert, and forget you? Why,
naturalists tell us that the porpoise will
not forsake it's wounded and sick mate.
And do you suppose the Lord of Heaven
and earth has not as much sympathy as
the fish of the sea? But you say: 81 am
so near worn out, and l am of no use to
God any more" I think the Lord knows
whether you are of any more use or not;
if you were of no more use he would
have taken you before this. Do you
think God has forgotten you because He
has taken care of you seventy or eighty
years? He thinks more of you to-day
than He ever did, because you think more
of Him. May the God of Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob and Paul the aged be
your God forever!

How Fertility is Wasted.

When [ see the water in ravines dis
colored from the drainage from the cor
rails which border them, believe some
body is paying dearly for his improvi-
dence and lazinesS There may have
been some excuse for first settlers locat-
ing their feeding yards in sheltered
places along the streams, but this prac-
tice ought to have been abandoned by
farmers long ago. Of course such yards
are cleared of manure free Of expense to
the owners, but this incurs great loss
which many do not count. The eorrals
should be removed from the ravines aud
placed on high ground. IN this way all
drainage from them will be of direct ben
eft to the land. If such places are nee
essarily bleak, shelter should be erected.
If unable to build barns and substantial
stables, put up walls and temporary
shelters. Keep your stock confined to
the yards and stables as much as posi-
BILE, and bed them we'll with straw or
refuse from the hay stacks. Permit no
prairie hay to remain in the field because
useless for feeding. Haul it into the
yard to increase the size and value of the
manure heap. My experience as farm
er tells me that manure made and kept
under shelter is worth double that made
in the open yard, exposed to drenching
rains, which takes away its most valu-
able elements.-T. B. in Farm and

Raising Fine Horses.

Raising good horses for the farm or
the road is a business which Will be
likely to pay the careful and persever-
ing breeder. But the raising of horses
for the track is one of the most un-
profitable lines of business in which a
farmer eau engage. He has neither the
capital, the facilities, nor the experience
and skill requisite for its successful
management. It is true that there have
beenna very few fast horses bred on or
binary farms, but the instances are eX-
tremely rare, and even in these cases the
breeders have usually sold the animals
before their value was discovered, or
else they have paid so much for training
and caring for them that but very little
profit was left. We would not discour-
age our farmers from trying to raise
good serviceable horses There is a
good field here for careful and intelli-
gent men, But we believe that the or
binary farmer has a good deal better
chance of being struck by lightning than
he has of raising Sunol or Maud S.

THE DAIRY.
Feed for a Purpose.

The last lecture delivered by the late
+. d. Gurus, of Kirby Homestead, was
at the dairy meeting at Cuba N. Y. The
subject was Foods" In this he said:
If you feed cow on straw she will be
nothing but vitalized straw, if calf is
fed only whey, whey calf will be the
result, and as whey at it's best (sWeet)
has but little value, the milk sugar and
what butter fat-which is of not much
value as food-which the cheese maker
allowed to escape, or which he could not
prevent, in the whey, being all there is
of it the calf will be poor affair. If
pig is fed only cornmeal, cornmeal pig,
all fat, with neither blood, muscle nor
bone, Will be the result. Study the
nature of foods, feed for purpose and
know beforehand what that purpose is.
Packing Butter.
A New York subscriber asks how to
pack butter so it will keep till winter
Very much depends on the quality of the
butter when packed, how free from but
termilk, etc. Well-made butter packed
solid in new, sweet jars or tubs and kept
at a cool, even temperature should keep
till winter. If person has not cold
storage, a cool spring may be snbsti-
tuted. We have known butter kept in
this way till winter, If the jars are not
filled quite full and brine is put over the
butter it will be better. We have re-
Gently seen it suggested that it would pay
those who cannot avail themselves of
cold storage to pack butter from the
churn, while in small grains, in strong
brine and in the winter time take it cut,
churn in buttermilk and work as though
fresh churned.
This may be a good plan. yet we be-
lieve as with all other farm products it
pays nine times ont of ten to sell butter
when ready for the market-when fresh
made. Farm, Field and StOcknlnn.

pie would be all the better for the
scientific knowledge which does not

you from attempting hopeless expert

vantage OF the innumerable hints which
Dame Nature gives to people who live in
direct contact with things. And this
leads me to the general principle which
I think applies to all technanical teach
ing of school-boys and schoolgirls, and
that is that they should be led from the
observation of the commonest facts to
general scientific truths
