n report recently submitted TO
the state department the United

says that tho railways of Australia
practically represent the assets for
the national debts of each colony, and
that II they were disposed Of to-day

improbable that the people concerned
will ever allow these great possessions
to pass into private hands, believing
that they should be retained to open
up and develop the resources of the
colonies and aid in the material pro.
gress of Australia. 1t is agreed, how
ever, that, to certain extent, the
railway administration should be sep
arated from politics. The construc-
ion and direction Of new lines
may well be left to parliament to de-
termine, but the management of the
lines and control of the railways
daily working, it is held, are matters
or skilled and capable railway man
ayers, untrammeled by the exigencies
that political considerations would
often cause to influence the political
mind. Each railway system is under
the control of three commissioners,
who have large powers to administer,
free from political interference, and
those best able to Judge are of the
opinion that the system has worked
well. The completion of the now
celebrated bridge over the Hawkes.

of the colonies into direct railway
communication, and, viewed from the

tralia can boast, even now, of being
better served by its railways than any

A Lover OF Poultry.

Keeping poultry teaches love in its
broadest sense. 1t compels man to love
his home, to watch the little matters,
to be regular, to be frugal, to be in
dustrious, says Homestead. All these
go to make up a happy life, and to bs
in love with that which is dear to him.
tits an old saying that he who has no
pets has no love for home. The woman
who delights in the company Of neither
bird nor animal, finds the society Of
gossips and street runners the most
attractive. The poultry woman makes
the model wife. City life has no charms
for her. Her home and her fowls are
everything, and in them she finds com
fort, health and strength The pa
tient, kind hearted woman alone makes
q success in egg and poultry culture,
while the fckle-minded, grumbling
female would not think of STOPPING so
low as to ''mingle with such pests"

Ono Sided Dairy Knowledge.

Beware Of the man Of one experience.
His knowledge is very exact, but it is
too narrow. In an esteemed con tenn
porary we find q man writing about

his troubles to corn meal, and advises,

English Duck Farming

The equipment Of an English
duck farm is very simple, says
DR.. Frean. One or two wooden
sheds, each with run in front,
are sufficient The classification
of the ducklings is determined by
age. They are, accordingly, divided
into ''focks' of cEe week old, two
weeks old, and other ages At q week
old flock of Aylesbury ducklings is
an extremely pretty sight. Each bird
is little ball Of yellow, fluffy down,
furnished with bill of delicate hello
trope color. The youngsters are very
nimble, and keep together rs they
run up or down, or across their limited
range. uttering continually the plain
tive call which falls upon the ear al
most like plea for protection. AS
age advances, the feathers turn white
and the bills grow paler. Very COM
monty the run is Uttered with straw,
upon which the little creatures will
peacefully nestle on drowsy, sunny
afternoon. As an example Of econ
omy in small things, it may be noted
that the straw is periodically gathered
up, shaken out else where to dry and
sweeten, and then strewn again upon
the run or under the shed. In one case,
where q large shed is used for the
ducklings, the straw is taken out
daily, and the mud floor swept, sprin-
killed. with weak solution Of carbolic
acid, and busted with lime before the
straw Is put back again. Great care
has to be exercised in keeping the
ducklings healthy, and cleanliness is
necessarily first consideration. In
