Meat on Quick Time.

More meat can be produced in the
shortest time from the duck than from
any other living thing on the farm,
says Poultry Keeper. The farmer who
has a drake and six ducks will get
something like 800 or 1000 eggs from
them in a year, and he can set the eggs
under hens and have ducklings from
the time the first lot comes ont, which
is often as early as February, until late
in summer. 1t should mot cost over
six cents to produce a pound of duck
meat, and they grow SO rapidly as to
leave chicks far in the rear A duck
ling should weigh, ifforced, four pounds
in eight weeks. We have had them to
gain q pound in one week.
OF course we had the Pekins, and
used only the largest and best we
could procure for breeding purposes
and we have raised hundreds thai

quicker way Of supplying meat for the
farmers table can be suggested thar
for him to hatch out a large lot o.
ducklings, and he can get good price
for all he may sell. Roast duck is g
better dish than salt pork, and can bt
had just as cheaply, as the duck car
be raised on the same food that is re
quired for producing pork.-Farm ant

GOOD SHEEP.
Their Selection Largely . Matter OF Pur.
pose and Locality. ~

Their Selection Largely = Matter Of Pur-
pose and Locality. -
What is good sheep is very i'm
portant item, and yet very few breed
ers will be found that will agree as to
what is really necessary to constitute
good sheep, and good reason for
this is that sheep adapted to every
section and to all conditions can not
be grown in the same animal, SO that
an animal of a breed that would be one
mans ideal would be entirely insult
able to another mans condition.
The safest mode is to select and
breed that class of animals that is
best adapted to the peculiar circum-
stances and conditions under which
they must be kept, and the more fully
this is done the better the results
in every way. With large class a
general purpose sheep, a flock Of
good thrifty ewes that will aver
age at least q good lamb for every eve
in the flock, that will give a good fleece
of wool averaging at least eight
pounds, and when matured and fat
tened will give good carcass of NUT
ton, are the ones not only the most de-
sirable, but will prove the most profit
able.
To considerable extent one or the
other of these qualities has been more
or less neglected. One farmer looks
more for wool, quality and quantity
than anything else and In doing this,
mutton or lambs, one or both, are over
looked. Another, close to good mar
ket, found that mutton paid better
profit, and good carcass of mutton
was sought for and the other points
neglected. We can hardly expect
perfect all purpose animal either in
sheep or cattle, but in very many cases
with care in selecting and breeding.
more nearly all purpose animals can be
secured with sheep than we now have,
and better profit be received. t
Profit is what we are after in keep
ing sheep, as in keeping every other
class of stock. and the breeding and Sc
lectiug should be such as will give the
class of animals that will return the
most profit. Under present conditions
it will not 10 to make a speciality of

A NEW iNSEoTiClDE.

An Important Discovery In the Domain oa
Pomology.
A new and important discovery In the
domain Of pomolopy has been made by
r. e.: MUu1ton, Of the gypsy moth COM
mission, Maldeii, MASS. Arsenate OF
lead was the substance used, which
was prepared by dissolving II ounces
acetate Of lead and 4 ounces of arsenate
of soda in $50 gallons of water. These
substances quickly dissolve and form
arsenate of lead, q fine white powder,
which is lighter than paris green, and
while being fully as effective in its
operation in destroying insect life, is
far preferable for several reasons. II
by any means the mixture happens to
be used stronger than necessary to de.
stroy insect life, even three or four
times the necessary strength, 1t in no
wise Injuries the foliage of the plants
iipoh which it is sprayed This is
great thing in its favor, for frequently
in using paris green for potato beetle
larv@ and for the Goblin worms, as
much injury results from the poison
burning the foliage as would result
from the insect If left alone.
This is better insecticide than paris
green under all circumstances and for
all insects, says Prof Fernald. 1t has
the advantage of being readily seen on
glance which have and have not been
sprayed, which is often OF great con-
venience. Being lighter than paris
green, it does not settle so quickly, and
as q result, can be distributed more
evenly over the foliage. A great objec-
tion to the use Of paris green is the liza
bility of using an overdose, and thereby
injuring the foliage Of the plants
sprayed. With the arsenate of lead, it
can be used, If necessary, in the pro-
portion of rs pounds to lao gallons OF
water without injury to the foliage.
Prof. Fernald advises the addition of 2
quarts of glucose, or. il that can not be
obtained. quarts of molasses to each
$50 gallons Of water, used for the pur-
pose Of causing the insecticide to ad.
here to the leaves. He says that the
experiments last season show that
the insecticide will remain on
trees for a long time, even after
quite heavy rains, and, we infer,
| prove effective. The cost of these
chemicals at 8 cents per pound for
arsenate of soda, and IA cents for ace.
tate of lead,- at wholesale. It sh ould
be borne in mind that these substances
are all poisonous, and should be used
with as great care as Paris green

For the first time in eleven years the
! mammoth Cornish pump which has
since 1888 been raising the water from
the Ontario and DAILY mines, is now
silent, and in that condition it will re-
main until the ground below the 1900
foot level in the Ontario is developed.
The monster lift has been rendered
useless for the present by the turning
OF the water into the great drain tun-
mel, which was accomplished yesterday
the connections having all been per-
fected. Naturally the volume of water
being delivered at the mouth of the
tunnel has been greatly increased, and
TINS viii make the power at that point
even more valuable than before. At
present the Ontario and Daily com
panies are engaged Jointly in putting
in an electric light plant at the point
Of discharge, for the purpose of fur
nlShing light for the Niarsac and On
tario mills and the Ontario and DAILY
mines
On Friday last the water from the
l,00O-foot level was turned into the
drain tunnel, being delivered to the
l,500-foot level through the stand pipes
up which the water from below had
been formerly raised, and the accom-
panying rush and roar was terrific, but
the discovery was made that the con-
nectfons were not even then perfect
and the pump continued to do its work
The reversal of the grade of the floor
Of the 100 foot level was not extreme
enough and the perfecting of the grade
consumed some five days, having been
completed yesterday morning. Then,
for the second time, change in the
course of the water was made, and a
thorough test demonstrating that
things were as they should be, the Cor
nish pump ceased its plunges and was
still. 1t will be kept in perfect repair,
however, and used in case of an e1ner-
gency or the desire on the part Of the
companies to at any time divert the
flow of the water
General Superintendent Chambers, of
the Ontario, went out to the Park yes
terday and witnessed the turning in of
the water. Today he will pay off at
both the Ontario and the Daily for the
month of October. In canceliing the
rolls of the former, $32, 600 will be dis
bursed, and those Of the latter. the sum
sum of s26, 900.
1t has now been decided that the
work of pushing the drain tunnel
through from shaft No. 2 to shaft No.
3, distance of about LOO feet, will

thought that the extension would be
commenced on or before the 18th, but
other work is now claiming the at
tention of the working forces.
Both the Ontario and the DAILY are
reported as being in admirable shape,
and turning out the regular number of
bars of fine bullion. Now that the water
is draining itself out of the two prop
critics and the expense Of pumping has
been removed. silver can be produced
with a great deal less expense than
formerly, in fact, some where in the
neighborhood of $250,0O0 a year cheap
er. AS yet the management has made
no announcement regarding the future
operations of the companies, but it is
hardly probable that they will be closed
down-the intimation is rather that
they will make even heavier produc-
tons of the white metal.

The Manly Art.

The subject of boxing as a gentlemanly
sport has never received much considera-
ton in this city, while in other cities
the leading society and business men in
variably find an hour to which they de-
vote themselves to physical exercise. 1t
has been truthfully said that there are
more scientific boxers in the social and
business circles of New York city, than
we find travelling over the country as
professionals. Any intelligent man can
easily learn boxing under good Instructor.
and We venture to say that there would
be less shooting and cutting in a COM
munity where athletics were taught as a.
science. a good many people think boxing
is brutal; those who hold that view look
only on the worst aspect of the means.
Being an expert boxer does not tempt
one to bully or fight. any more than be-
ing an expert penman would tempt a
person to commit forgery. Our knowledge
are generally men of great forbearance
under propagation, and we are satisfied
that the knowledge OF boxing, renders
men not quaTrelsoIne. but forbearing; fo,.
they feel that it is glorious to posses a
giants streagth, but cowardly to use it
best of all exercises; every muscle in the
body is used; brain, eyes, arms, legs and
feet are called into use, and we may say
that this IS the only exercise requiring
rapidity and strength combined. There is
no exercise that will so surely cultivate
activity, endurance ard strength, as box
ing. Besides being an excellent school
for the temper, it also develops the body,
gives symmetry to the parts and grace to
the movements.

PEANUTS AND GERMANY.
rFrom All the Year Round.l


Many years ago the author of 1.-THE
Chemistry of Common Life" indicated
the groundnut as a probable or actual
substitute for cocoa-or roasted, ground
and prepared in the same way as choc-
olate He mentioned that in Spain the
earth chestnut was even then being
consumed as a substitute for coffee. The
quality Of peanuts, however, varies
much more than might be supposed.
The, poorest are found on the Madras
coast and the best in the region Of Sem
egal, in West Africa, and it is appar-
emily only since they began to develop
an interest in Africa that the Germans
have discovered the food value of this
humble product.
In 1898 upward of 10000 tons Of pea
nuts were imported into Germany, of
which $500 tons came from West At
RIGA, $500 tons from East Africa and
the rest from the East Indies. For the
manipulation of the peanut there are
now twenty-seven factories constantly
employed at Hamburg, Mannheim,
Hebron and elsewhere.
The imports from West Africa are in
the shell. which, while making them
more bulky and adding to the freight,
has conpensating advantages. For in
stance. the nut is apt to be crushed or
injured when shipped without the husk
and also to become strong, if not ran
cid, in flavor by exposure.
The husl1s. make up about % per cent
OF the weight Of a shipment, but are
not all loss, even when their protective
functions are over for IN Germany
they are used in rough paper-rnaking.
and also, when ground up, as food for
cattle. From West Africa and India
the nuts are usually imported without
the shells-the reason doubtless being
to secure cheaper freight.

Beaver, Utah. Nov. 15.I[SpeciaLl-
The Bonds murder trial, now on in the
district court, is the one general theme
and the one subject of interest in this
community at present.
1t began on Tuesday morning, and
has occupied the attention of the court
ever since, with the prospects Of being
concluded tomorrow. a brief statement
of the case is as follows:
On the 2i.h CT July last, Rob r, Bo-ds,
who lives at a place called Assays Creek,
a few miles east of Cedar City. shot
and instantly killed Joseph Berry, a
Mexican sneep herder and cattle ten
der, who had previously been in Bonds
employ. The cause of the shooting, as
developed by the evidence, was a con-
tinual and growing dread entertained
by Bonds for his own safety, produced
by threats made by Berry. It seems
that Berry and the defendants wife
had become more intimate than de-
%Stshdant thought was consistent with
FproprieJy, and he had resOrted 10
4 various means to get rid of the de-
ceased. This did not prevent the latter,
however, from lurking around the
neighborhood, and on the day of the

imbibing more or less, and deceased
himself was particularly boisterous,
defendant took advantage of time
when deceased was walking away from
him, TO shoot the latter in the back

out i'll front, death being instantaneous
The threats of the deceased were
quite numerous, according to the evil
dence Of the defense, and We're par
tlcularly violent Immediately prior to
the shooting when, as was shown. de-
ceased had passed by defendants house
and made some very annoying eXclama-
: lions, challenging the defendant to
come out and shoot.
Considerable evidence was also intro
duced TO show that deceased was an
expert with a pistol, and that the de-
PENDANT had always borne a good repu-
t2tion before this.
Opinion is divided as to the probable
outcome Of the case, but there is a.
good dead OF sympathy outside the jury
and the court room for the man on trial.
