JUDGE WILLIAM DANIEL.

One of the most remarkable men ever
born in this or any other county was
Judge William Daniel. With no advan-
tages in early lie, by the force of his
character and intellect he rose TO the FIRST
rank in his profession IN this and the sur
rounding counties. He was member of
the famous Legislature Of 1893 1888, and as
a member of the House of Delegates from
Cumberland advocated and voted for Mr.
Madison's resolutions. he was then elect
ed Judge VI the circuit aud held IL until
his death. He was not US eloquent as his
grandson, the United States Senator of
Virginia but was remarkable for the force
of his viii and his clear, strong horse

4 Big I.On(l of Hay.

William Krout Of Chalfonte claims
the honors for the heaviest load Of hay
ever brought to Philadelphia, and Otto
Ruckelc, master of the White Swan
Exchange scales ut Mount Airy, in
turn claims to have giver the figures
for the heaviest load Of hay weighed
in the county. These figures are for
the krOut load. and are: Gross weight,
14.G75 pounds; weight of wagon and
guard plank, $3.50 pounds; weight of
hay. 1885 pounds.
The record this breaks is net 5000
pounds, loaded by Aaron kratz OF
Plumsteadvil.c. Mr.. Krcut now chal-
lenges Mr. krutz to do better OF say
no more about it.
The Krout load was Of mixed hay,
was twenty-five feet long, fourteen and
oIe-half feet high and fifteen feet wide.
1t was hauled to the city by five horses,
and sold to the Park stables for S129.So.
Date of weighing and delivery, Oct. 70.
1893. The wagon in returning carried
six tons Of manure.
The load was of great weight for the
bulk. therefore the hay must have been
of good quality and well cured. 10

The recent dis: strOus accidents at
sea, and mo:c especially the sinking of
II. NJ S. Victoria, have had the effect
of {: using renewed activity among the
manufacturers of life-saving devices.
OF these the mtst important j; a raft
of novel construction, composed Of
steel in cellular compartments, capable
Of resisting any amount Of rough usage.
there will still b. sufficient floating pow
rr to support II number of persons,
the surplus buoyancy being 50 great
that it would be impossible to swamp
or ovcrturn the raft, even when it is
crowded Tic invention is specially
adapted for the landing Of troops,
horses, guns. cargo, etc, and the RATS
can be fitted for use on any vessel.
Another contrivancc, which in the Opin-
ion Of naval experts would obviate
much of the loss of life which now year
ly takes place at sea. is a cOmmodiOus
construction intended to take the place
of a captains bridge. 1t runs nearly
the whole length of the ship. and in
case of accident two men, one at each
end, by moving Il lever could cause
the whole construction to glide into
the water. where it would constitute
completely fitted raft equal to the
reception of almost any number of pas
sengcrs and ready for use Should.
however, a calamity occur in which
there was no time to loosen the raft,
the construction. with all the pasSen-
gers on it. would float off bodily as the
vessel went down.

PektnS DHcks.

several years ago we raised Picking
ducks. but finally abandoned them
thinking to go out of that branch of
the business. but this season we came
pack to them. and We like them better
than ever before. Our Pekins are lust
twelve weeks old at this writing, and
they are fully as large as most Of such
birds at maturity, though we expect to
make ours grow several pounds before
winter.
Ihls flock has never had more water
IMAM could be put into a gallon crock,
ana they have never been outside a
small yard except on one or two Oc-
caslonS. and no one could ask for thrift
Ter BIRDS than they are. They are not
allowed to go hungry at any time,
and always had all they wanted to eat
in the way of oatmeal cracked corn,
bran and shorts. wheat and other grain
feed. and have Il considerable amount
of green food in the way of lawn now
er clippings, and since the dry weather
set IN they have had purslane pulled
out OF the truck patch in plenty.
At the market price they are worth
90 cents each. and if we desired to sell
them for that purpose we could realize
handsome profit at the market price
We raised these ducks. as we have,
to prove that L large range and free
dom to hunt for bugs is not at all
necessary to their welfare. This we
have shown. and the readers of the
American Farmer and Farm News"
need not hesitate to try to raise ducks
from lack of water and plenty of range
for they will do better in confinement
than any other kind of fowls. and re-
turn more for the money invested
whether they are kept for eggs or sold
in the market.

METALLIC SHIP LADDERS.
Something That Seems to lie Light
and Durable.

and Durable.
A Qallic ships ladder has recently
b lN6r6ught out which can be lowered
at1d fixed at any angle between the
horizontal and perpendicular to suit
the level OF water. and its action is
Such that the steps maintain hori-
zontal position at any angle. They are
constructed wholly of steel and iron,
galvanized. and are fitted with hand
rails OH either side, and the steps are
laid with serratcd rubber trcads.
The platform Is securely hinged to
the ships deck OF waterway; when out
it rests on the top Of the waterway
bar and is supported at the outer end
by jointed tie bars hinged to the main
rail. The action is such that the plat
form and handrnilS, when pulled up,
fold compactly and snugly against the
ships rail and bulwark, where they
Hare dashed and stand ready for use
at any moment by simply unlashing
and letting them out, which can be
done by any unskilled person from
the deck, without removing any bolt,
pin or loose part.
The ladder can be used as gang
way from the ships side to the pier
by simply turning the platform around
through quarter circle, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch, and placing the free end
of the ladder on the pier or other
fixtures to be communicated with.
Among the other advantages claimed
for this ladder are lightness, durability,
strength and chcapness.

Very Much COntentcd.
There is no peasant so much at
tached to tradition as the French-Cana-
dian. He finds himself on a continent
whose moving spirit is that of pro-
gression The rest of the American
world is more or less given up to cleo
trio tramway cars, elevated railways
and other denominations. Factory
chimneys belch forth their distiguring
smoke, and sawmills rend the air with
hideous noises, says the National Re-
view, within touch almost Of the
quaint, picturesque French villages
which lie nesting to the south Of the
St, Lawrence. The contiguity Of pro-
gress and push, of manufacture and
wealth, in no wise affects the unam-
bilious inhabitant.
He teens with cOntcntmcnt and
philosophy Has he not a decent farm
Il tidy cottage, a good wife. an enOr-
nous progeny, and Il cure to help him
on his road to heaven? Is it not pos
sible, also, to put by Il little money
each year toward his old agc-enough
to procure for him and his decent
burial, and to pay for masses, in the
sad by and by? What more can a man
want? jacques Bon-Homme has SUI

large painting of David and Goliath.
Jacques fixed his gaze admringly on

Patching Animals.

,ho t;rst noint to be looked for in
n growing animal is to make the frame
work or bone, and the next thing IS
the muscle. The fat can be put on aft
onward. The only question should be,
how long will it pay to keep the ami
nal growing before fattening, and that
depends upon whether 1t Is intended
for meat alone or for breeding, work,
giving milk, making wool. laying eggs

on the family cat should be avoided,

We are in receipt Of the speech Of
Hon. Thos. G. NcRae, delivered in the
House Of Representatives in advocacy
Of his bill for the adjustment and
settlement of the claims Of Arkansas
and other States under the swamp
land grants. His speech is q master
ly effort and shows great industry
and labor in the collection OF facts.
In truth it is a complete aud thorough
examination Of the respective claims
of the national and state governments.
AS under the bill not dollar would
be taken from the national treasury
only the giving up Of bonds, we can
see no good reason why the bill
should not pass We see from ex-
changes that the bill was defeated,
but this will not detraet from the
merit of the bill or diminish our
thanks for his efforts in our behalf
Some legislation is needfuI upon the
subject and through the persistence
Of our representative it is likely yet
TO be had aud a settlement obtained.
