TIE PEKIN DUCKS.

Texas lady writes US for an article with
reference to Pekin ducks, but asks that
neither her name or any portion Of her let
ter be printed. Mr.. F. A Mortimer of
Poultry World, is probably the best author
ity on ducks that that we have, therefore
we shall draw upon his writings for data
in a compliance with the request. He says
of Pekin ducks, thai they are, quite likely,
the most valuable breed Of ducks now
known. They are very large, mature early,
and have snow white plumage. Their eggs
hatch two or three days earlier than any
other variety. The ducklings hatch out
stronger and seem to grow faster than the
young Of any other breed, and they can be
raised anywhere that you can raise chick
ems. The young ducklings feather up rap
idly and grow to good size in from six to
eight weeks. This makes them well
adapted for raising for early markets. They
are excellent foragers and excellent layers.
With good range they require but little
feed, and the young are not subject to roup,
cholera or gapes. Like young turkeys
they invariably command a good price on
the market, and at the end of the first year
they will weigh from fourteen to eighteen
pounds per pair without much fattening.
AS egg producers their record is remarka-
bic, and they come as near being perpetual
layers as any of the breeds of fowls.
The crumbs and scraps from the table
and parings and waste from vegetables, all
of which usually go to the garbage barrel,
hn lfcla1 nv and will ~
butte largely towards the sustenace of a con-
siderable fiock of Pekin ducks.
Like all other ducks the Pezins do best
where they can have access to plenty OF
water They like to go into water to keep
themselves washed clean, and they like to
forage along the edge Of streams or shallow
ponds. 1t is amusing to see them foraging.
They will go down to the bottom where the
water is shallow and fasten upon something
that pleases their fancy, and if it does not
come up easily you will see their feet
kicking up above the surface at least a
minute. It would not seem possible that
an air. breathing animal could remain under
water so long. When they can stand it no
longer they come to the surface for breath,
and then, should they have failed to secure
what they are working for, they will
go down again, find it and re-
peat the performance. And thus the bust
ness viii often be kept up after a single
thing for an hour or more.
The Pekin ducks may be raised without
water to swim and forage in but not near
so well as with it.

HoG 1TANAGEMENr.

The editor of Swineherd says no matter
what the climate, sunshine and plenty of it
is factor of special importance in the
growth of young pigs. The hog raiser who
keeps his very young pigs in a shaded place
commits grave mistake, winter or sum
mer. It IS a natural requirement that they
should bask in sunshine.
It is always best, he continues, to have a
mixture of pulverized clay, ashes. charcoal
and salt in trough or shallow box which
the pigs can get into when they desire to
do so. ara they will desire to do so often.
The sow viii eat more or less of it every
day, and the pigs as they increase in size
viii partake of it freely also.
The most prevailing disease of little pigs
is diarrhma, caused mostly by improper
food of their mother, but another principal
cause is a wet and dirty pen. To prevent
this TIE pen. if the pigs are kept in a close
pen, should be on a sloping situation where
all liquids viii at once run of. Pigs do
better on the ground than on floor, pro-
vided the pen can be kept clean and en-
tirely clear of mud. Plenty of lime thrown
into the pen from time to time to prevent
bad odors is a very good thing.
If the diarrhe trouble appears it can usu-
ally be checked by changing the feed of
the mother, provided it is not caused by
foul pen. Administering quack remedies
is not only nonsense, but decidedly against
the welfare of the pigs.
The hog fattens very quickly compared
with other animals, but it requires cor
responding amount of food in quantity as
well as in quality. A cheap and quick fat
tening depends greatly upon the health and
age of hogs, as well as upon the season
and the condition of the food. For the fat
teRing of meat hogs, that shall produce a
nice, tender meat, streaked with fat, select
from early developing stock at the age Of
four to eight months. On account of the
the nourishments from the dry foods, and
it should, therefore, be prepared in such
manner as to make the loss as small as pos
si5le-either cooked or bruised To feed
hogs until all parts have changed to
fat he does not consider profitable,
4OA SAAO NeASICA bASJ SAOH lLAC SAONOA
they increase in weight To begin the
fattening with rich food from the start is
waste. Corn ought to be left for the latter
part of that process. Some rules have to
be observed in fattening to insure success.
The best rule is to have the previous food
succeeded by one more nourishing, and
when the appetite begins to diminish, to
feed less in quantity but more in quality
The time for feeding should be kept as
punctual as possible, else the hogs viii
grow restless. The pen or other Enclosure
should be kept clean that is, not allowed to
become filthy, and no more food should be
placed into it than the animals will take
The old plan of fattening hogs by piling
food in upon them till they were cloyed,
and hence would eat but little, was all
wrong. If the hog does not eat, he cannot
become fat-there is no such thing as get
ting something from nothing.

main. or shipping, spring crop, the early
dwarf varieties, which may be expected to
mature before May; that is, before the
weather becomes dry and hot, are the
kinds to be selected. The Every Early
Dwarf Erfurt." the ssShort-st enmed
Lernormand, F." and early Paris" in the
order named, are the choice varieties.
The varieties are of such dwartisn habit
particularly is this so with the Erfurt)
that it is not advisable to sow earlier in the
open air, and to prick out under glass
When of sufficient age to ''curd," if
growth is retarded, they may in the seed
bed form heads no larger than marbles. It
is therefore important with this!vegetable
that the plants suffer no hindrance or
stunning in growth, but be pushed forward
from the start, without, however, allowing
them to become spindling or too delicate.
From eighteen to twenty-one inches in the
rows, and these three and half feet apart
(seven thousand one hundred and eleven to
eight thousand two hundred and ninety
seven plants to the acre. is sufficient dis
lance for the early varieties. The prepara-
ton of soil for the crop and the subsequent
cultivation may be regarded as identical
with that of cabbage, differing only
in the fact that more moisture is
needed for the caulihower than for the cab
bage, so far as relates to early growth. As
the plants advance there must be ''pro-
lection" Bright sunshine tans or furnishes
the snowy whiteness of the ''curd,' - deterio-
rating its quality. As soon, therefore, as
the head commences to be visible, it should
be protected from the light, either by tying
up all the large leaves over the head, or
by pinning two OF them together by little
stick. Protection is given more expedi-
tiously and the light excluded By using one
of the larger leaves, torn from the plant, to
cover the ''curd'' closely, tucl1ing it be-
tween the head and the surrounding leaves.
When the cutting of the crop has been com
meuced. leaves for covering are to be taken
from plants already cut. If the pro-
teoting leaf has been carefully adjusted,
the operation need rarely be done more
than once, as the heads mature three or
four days after they become plainly visi-
Bile. The several Iobes forming the head
should not be allowed to separate, or the
head to become loose and expanded, before
cutting for market; solidity being one of
the requisites of good quality.
This is about all that could be said with
reference to caulifower culture. OF course
there are some further details relative to
harvesting and packing for market, which
we will give in due time should we be
called upon to do so.

South is long one. From East to West
the transfers may be longer. Corn planted
in the North from South seed grown
in longer seasons IS almost certain to be
caught by frost Corn planted in the South
from Northern seed is corn dwarfed by
climate to meet Northern climatic condi-
lions, and hence is not corn so perfect as
would be corn grown at the South The
plant has a faculty of becoming acclimated
and Of adapting itself to local conditions.
It takes several years to bring this about,
and therefore no small amount of energy
cannot be otherwise than expended in that
effort. Under these circumstances it is en-
tirely reasonable to suppose that the
naturalized or adapted corn would be the
best to plant in the expectation of best re-

TIE SMOKING HABIT.

AS you appear ready and willing to work
up almost anything in the question column
of your excellent Agricultural Department
of the Fort Worth GAZETTE, l take the ill.,
erty of writing to ask that you give US your
views relative to the much talked of evils
of cigarette smoking. The cigarette smok-
ing habit is said to be rapidly growing
among our young men, though l am nos en-.
tirely sure that this is the case, for it seems
to me that the habit now has not much
room for growth. They all smoke cigarettes
Tor near ally though one does not see all tha
smoking that goes on, for hundreds,
ashamed to be seen at it, smoke in private
places; and most of those who smoke
cigarettes smoke about ali that fire will
burn in the time devoted TO the perform
eIce. On this account | cannot see hoT
the habit could grow much more. 1 notice
in the papers that promising young Law
yer of Galveston lately lost his life by ex-
cessive cigarette smoking-if this is so the
thing ought to be brought out prominently
as a warning to the hundreds of young men
who are now travelling the same road that
he travelled.
Please give US through THE GAZETTE
your opinion of the cigarette habit: and. in
deed of the smoking habit generally. Do
you consider cigarette smoking more iniur-
ious than other kinds of smoking.
Dallas, Tex. PATRON.
We must own up to actually knowing
very little about cigarette smoking and its
effects, having never smoked a cigarette IN
our life Hundreds of people who don't
smoke cigarettes say cigarette smoking IS
highly injurious, and what so many say
ought to be accepted as having at least
some truth in it, though we must have our
suspicious that there is a good deal of ex-
aggeration in the case until more positive
evidence is laid before the court. Ds
Quincy's Confessions Of AIN Opium
Eater'' laid bare the opium habit, aud it
was on good authority, for De Quincy was
himself an opium eater. Now, when soma
cigarette smoker follows the example laid
down by De Quincy and gives US the Con
fessions Of Cigarette Smoker, - we shall
be able to talk more intelligently with ref
erence to the habit than we are now able
to do. We shall have positive evidence,
whereas at present the evidence is mere
supposition or hearsay.
As to other kinds of smoking we are in.
clined to the opinion that some of them, at
least, are not so bad as cigarette smozingis
said to be. We have before our minds eye
a case that well backs US up in this posi-
ton. There is in Fort Worth a most
inyeterate smoker by the name of Col. John
R. Hoxie, president of the Fort Worth
He smokes almost con-
stantly, and though man well along in
years. he still appears to remain in excel
lent health. We do not think he smokes
cigarettes, nor are we sure that he smokes
tobacco in any form, but he has been known
to smoke so much as one hundred hogs in
a single day without its appearing to hurt
him in the least
