AMONG THE. POULTRY.

If ducks are kept, be sure to have thu
duck house tight and dry.
FERMENTED soft feed often induces
disease, especially cholera
The hens laying thln-shelled eggs is
often caused by lack of gravel.
WHEN the hens are confined q mess
of cooked meat will promote laying.
Do NOT sell of all the old hens.
Keep some of them for mothers next
spring.
A YOUNG duck is easily choked II fed
upon dry feed alone. Water should al
ways be supplied to them when fed.
THE moulting season requires from
eighty to ninety days, and the hens re-
quire good care while this Is going on.
ONE advantage with stone drinking
vessels is that they will keep the water
cool much longer, while they are easily
kept clean.
In selecting out the roosters to keep
for next seasons breeding, take those
that are compact, of medium size and
very active.
If young turkeys can have the run Of
the wheat and oat stubble fields they
will pick up much grain that would
otherwise be wasted.
A GOOD nest egg can be made by
making hole in the large end, letting
the yolk run out and filing the shell

PROFITABLE HOGS.
There Is Money in Feeding Pigs for Lean
Meats.

There Is Money in Feeding Pigs for Lean
Meats
It is cheaper to produce meat that
contains a large proportion of lean with
the fat than to fatten a hog to such
condition as to fit it only for the pro-
duction of lard, and it is fact that
feeding for lean meat greater weight
of carcass is secured and at no more
expense than in producing an excess Of
fat This is explained by reason of the
fact that when an animal is given food
containing the elements of growth Of
bone and muscle as well as of fat the
condition of the animal is sustained in a
manner to permit more perfect diges-
tion and assimilation aud a greater pro
portion for the support of the system
of the nutritious elements that are re-
quired, and which are more evenly dis
tributed through the body, instead OF
the semi-diseased condition produced
when corn is given as an exclusive diet.
Hence the farmer who diminishcs the
ration of maize, allowing but portion
only, substituting therefor bran, mid.
dlings, milk and clover-cut fine and
scalded-will have his hogs larger,
heavier, healthier and of better quality
Of flesh than from corn. While giving
the advantages of a systematic method
of feeding for the best results IN pro-
ducing the heaviest pork, the fact that
prime lard brings price that makes it
desirable ON the part of the farmer to
have his hogs fat, it must be admitted
that it is serious obstacle in the way
when lean meat is advocated, but the
lean meat is simply interspersed with
the fat and the greater increase from
the variety of food does not diminish
the supply of lard. The farmer win
find that in those portions Of the car
cass from which the lard is produced
but little difference will be observed,
and the hog will be much more valuable
as q whole. e.-Colman's Rural World.

THE EFFECT OF THE sINeLETAx.

From = Speech by Thos. G. shenrman.
When all land was taxed according
to its value, the unoccupied just a.
much as the occupied land standing
next to it, the owner of the vacant land
would, on the morning nfter you adopt
ed this system. be clamorous to have
laborers come and improve his land, be-
cause that would be the only way by
which he could obtain the revenue
from it So long Is he did not improve.
he would have TO pay taxes out OF his
own pocket, and it would be ruinous to
him; as soon as he improved, he would
have sources of revenue from which he
could afford to pay taxes and conduct
the business of landlord. or rather.
land manager, not useless or injurious
business in its way.
Another thing would happen. which
some of our friends perhaps would not
like. The wild real estate speculation
now going ON would stop; there would
be no more southern California booms
Men would select real estate with refer.
ence to the wants of the community.
This is not a system of taxation which
would bring about absolute equality; it
is simply system which would leave
in the pockets Of every man that which
he had fairly earned; q system which
would leave to every man the full ad-
vantage of those opportunities which
God had given him. the full benefit of
his natural abilities, without any at
tempt on the part of the government to
take away from him an unfair proper
tion of that which he owned.

Came Back for Revenge.

One day while proceeding up a
canyon in the Ration mountains, says
the Kansas City Star, large silver
tipped b ar and her cub leaped ont
and made a rush up the sloping side of
the valley. There were three in our
party and every Winchester began to
talk very earnestly and excitedly. The
cub tumbled dead at the first fire.
call him n cub. but the truth is he was
more than half as large as his mother
and weighed 240 pounds. The old
lady did not show any injury, and the
moment the yrung one tumbled she
turned and came back squarely in the
teeth of the rifles, and, Selling her
dead cub in her mouth as cat does a
kitten. raised it fairly clear of the
ground and cantered up the hill-no
easy matter, as. aside from the 240
pounds of limp and dragging weight
she had to force her anxious, loving
way through oak brush, which in many
instances might have detained steer
She got fairly away. albeit we fired
several shots after the cub fell
We had just reloaded the magazines
of our Winchesters, and were COM
muning as to taking the trail of the old
bear, which showed wide and clear in
broken bushes and disturbed oak
leaves and pine needles, when looking
up we beheld our game coming back
straight for us. She meant business,
too. Her red and streaming tongue
lolled out of her half-open mouth, and
her eyes partially closed in rage would
have seemed quizzical in expression
were it not for the ferocity which leap
ed and flashed in their depths like
sheet lightning behind some cloud
screen. She came strai chit 10 Us, and
we settled her troubles at the first fire
We found the cub up on the divide.
She had carried it at least sixty rods
with two bullet holes in her shaggy
hide. as we found when we skinned
her.

THE FOREIGN SUITOR.
Why He Is Attractive to the American
Girl.

One reason why American girls wish
to marry abroad is that foreigners have
as Il rule. a certain enamel of manner
which is very attractive 10 women.
The hand-kisSing. the litttery, the
deferential manner, all these are the
most agreeable beginnings of an ac-
quaintance. 1t is to an idle girl a
great pleasure to find man who has
all his day to devote to her. The Eu-
ropean man has made a study of how
to amuse himself all day long. and no
doubt he has picked up education and
much that is agreeable along with this
effort to get rid of time. The Amerl-
can man has had no such difficulty in
disposing of the golden hours; he has
worked hard to make his living; he
has had terrific struggle for it, and
his love-making has been thing apart,
an interude in the busy life. He has
had no time to enamel himself with
foreign manners, and to an lille and a
selfSs girl he is far less agreeable than
Il man who can take her TO picture
galleries, to races to the Bots to dine,
who knows all about dress-makers,
their prices, their degrees of style. aud
their costumes. A European man is a
gazette, II newspaper amongst other
things, and he is full of delightful
anecdote. He knows all the gossip
about the Prince of Wales, about Lady
Agatha. and the Duchess of Nowhere;
he is selfish in everything else, but he
is not selfish in this. He does try to
make himself amusing and agreeable,
and to do him justice he generally sue
ceeds. If he goes to theatre or opera
with a party of ladies, he knows the
history-and it is apt to he piquant
one of every prima donna, every
tenor. every basso. He remembers
what happened at Nice two winters
ago, and he has an amusing story
about the Grand Duchess of Pimper-
nickel. We all know that there is no
more fascinating reading for the idle
and cultivated than stories in which
titles abound. And perhaps. when
treated with the genius of ''Ouida,
they are very good reading for any
body who has nothing else to do
