Ducks And Dampness.

1t is strange that the duck, which
will voluntarily go on the water at all
seasons when the surface of the water
is not covered with ice, is more easily
affected by damp quarters than other
fowls. The old adage that damp
weather is good for young ducks" is at
fault also, as the duckling, when very
young will quickly perish if it becomes
wet,either by contact or by rain. The
tender parts of the duck are its feet
and legs. When on the water these
portions of the body are protected
from the cold, while the feathers will
shed water. A duck, if well feather
ed, comes from pond in a dry condi-
ton and if II goes on the water when
the season is cold, and the bird is not
well feathered, it will soon droop, as
the exposed portions of the under side
of its body give off animal heat which
is absorbed by cold water, hence ducks
that are moulting should not be
allowed on ponds. The tronghs from
which they drink should be covered
so as to permit them to get only their
beaks into the trough. They will
waste a large portion of the water in
cleaning their beaks of adhering food
aud thus cause the ground to be sloppy
Keep the floor Of their quarters well
well Uttered with clean straw and have
the yard well drained in order to
prevent dampnes as much as possible.

Agricultural Clippings.

If your apples freeze during the
cold weather the injury to them will
be much lessened if they are kept
from the air and allowed to thaw
very gradually.
The Baltimore American says: A
shrewd poultry raicer has found that
he can improve the flavor of his ducks
by proper feeding. Thus, by giving
them plenty of celery for a week be-
fore using the Ratchet tRng are OF
prime quality, the delight ofekcures.
Perhaps common folks may thus have
placed before them substitutes for the
delicious canvas-backs which come to
Maryland to feed on wild celery and
be shot.
When the hens begin to Law large
eggs, containing double yolks, it is
an unfavorable indica ton that the
hens are too fat. Double-yolked eggs,
very small eggs and a desire to sit
means that the hens have been fed
too literally, and that fewer eggs
will be the result in a short time.
Reduce the feed when such indications
are presented, and compel the hens to
work vigorously and secure more
exercise.
Coarse manure is not adapted for top
dressing young clover. 1t cannot be
made fine enough to allow il to sift
down to the roots. Where large
pieces of manure fall ON young clover
plants the clover is killed, and where
the manure lay will grow next year
a rank growth of weeds. Put the
manure where you are going to sow
clover seed, or on land where clover
has reached its full growth and is to
be plowed under in the spring,
E. L. Vincent, of Boone County,
N. Y, keeps mice from attacking
apple-trees by binding around them
closely woven wire netting, letting
it go two or three inches below the
surface. This will, he thinks, also
prevent attacks of borers and he pro-
poses to leave this protector around the
tree summer and winter. 1t is open
so that light and air can get to the
bark. His first experiment was in
wrapping the tree with tarred paper.
This kept the mice from working but
made place for the codling moth.
With little care in examining and
replacing these tarred-paper wrappers
they may be made very effective m 9th
traps.

An Ideal Climate.

Among the sections most highly
favored by nature is Southern Cali
fornia; first its geographical location,
for it lies almost exactly midway be-
tween the equator and Arctic circle
and but little south of the center line
of the temperate zone; and secondly.
physical conditions so modify the
temperature that there Is neither ex-
IRENE heat nor cold. On the north
mountain range protects it from the
trosts of winter, and the winds during
that season bring it to the warmth Of
torrid zone, for they blow with con-
siderable regularity from the south
or southernly direction. In the
summer the trade winds blow regu-
larly from the northwest, bringing
with them the cooling atmosphere of
the northern seas. The country is
open to the sea, which gives free play
TO the breezes both summer and win
ter. The salubrity OF tle climate is
phenomenal animals are strong and
enduring; the natives are healthy,
and the section is sanitarium for
invalids from other parts of the nation
who gradually improve or recover
health. 1t is country where one
can live out of doors for three hum
dred and fifty days of the year.
Health and longevity are characters
tic of the people. The soil is i'm
mensely fertile and produces an
abundance and variety. including all
the CEREALS except rice, all the vege-
tables known to the temperate
latitude, raisins, wine and table grapes
the berries, all the fruits of the
temperate and some of the tropical
latitude, olives, walnuts and almonds.
Two crops Of vegetables are produced
in the year.--Californian.

AppIes Good For sedentarY FoIks


The remedial use OF apples is thus
enlarged upon by the North American
Practitioner: Chemically the apple il
composed of vegetable gbre, albumen,
sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malice acid
lime and much water. Furthermore,
the German analysts say that the apple
contains larger percentage of phos-
phoroUs than any other fruit or vege-
table The PHOSPHORUS is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential
matter = lecithin - ofthe brain and
spinal cord.
It's, perhaps for, the same reason,
rndely understood, that old Scsndina-
Wan traditions represent the apple as
the food of the Gods, who when they
felt themselves to be growing feeble
and infrm, resorted to this fruit, re-
newing their powers of mind and body
Also, the acids of the apple are of sing
ular use for the men OF sedentary
habits, whose livers are sluggish IN
action, those acids serving to eliminate
from the body noctious matters, which
if retained, would make the brain
heavy and dull, or bring about jaun-
dice or skin eruptions and other allied
troubles.
Some such experiments must have
led to the custom of taking apple sauce
with roast pork, rich goose and other
dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize
any excess of chalKy matter engender-
ed by eating too much meat. 1t is
also the fact that such ripe fruits as the
apple, the pear and the plum, when
taken ripe and without sugar, di-
minish acidity in the stomach rather
Than provoke it. Their vegeta, lie
sauces and juices are converted into
carbonates, which tend to
;ounteract acidity.

CALLS FOR CASH.
Carlisle Says His Estimates We're

And He Must Have Bonds Issued

Secretary Carlisle has addressed
letter to Senator Voorhees,, Chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee

ment Of public expenses and discharge
the obligations of the Government to
pensioners and other lawful creditors.
"When my annual report was pre-
pared it was estimated that the ex-
penses during the current fiscal year
would exceed the receipts to the
amount of about $2S,000,000, and /
asked Congress for authority to Issue
and sell bonds, or rather forms of obi
cations, to an amount not exceeding
100000, bearing a low rate of in
terest and having reasonably short
time to run, to enable the Secretary OF
the Treasury to supply such defcien-
cies as might occur in the revenues.
The receipts and expenditures during
the month of December and up to the
18th day of the present month show
that the estimate of a deficiency of
$2S, 100000 at the close O. the year was
much too low.
"If the same average monthly def
ciencies should continue, the total
differences between receipts and ex-
penditures on June 80 next will be
$78, 1877 ,542. According to the best
estimate that can be made, the total
receipts during the present month and
the month of February will be 81 l.
100000, and the total expenditures
will be $50, 100000, showing a def
cheney during the two months of $751;

payments on account of the sugar
bounty, claims for which to the
amount of nearly 100000 have al

eserVe will be reduced by the lst of
February to about $66, 601, 1854, sum

THE ADVOCATE.
Horse Notes.

Trotters have too much energy for
farm work.
Horses differ in intelligence almost
as much as men do.
Drive the colt the first time with a
fast-walking horse.
A little drive every day aids the de-
velopment of young horses.
The French and the Chinese are the
two great horse-eating nations
On the farm the value of a horse de-
ponds upon the load he will draw.
Give your breeding mares plenty of
food aud exercise, but not heavy work
Breed for energy and intelligence in
the horse as we'll as for form and ac-
ton.
Forty years ago there were practic-
ally no road horses in the United
States.
Do not keep horses in field separa-
ted from other horses by barbed-
wire fence.
The quantity of horses has never
been so great nor the quality so poor
as at present.
By breeding the mares in the fall,
thev can be made to perform the farm
work without injury.
1t does not pay 20 Sell horse in
poor condition, nor does it pay TO keep
a horse in that condition.
To keep the horse in perfect condi-
ton, regular feeding of the proper
quantity of feed is essential.
Liberal feeding, good shelter, and
occasional handling will mature the
well-bred horse into usefulness.
Don't blanket your mares in the
stable and strip them when running
the yard, exposed to high winds.
A colt broken to harness, when full
of life and spirit, is more reliable than
if weak and half-fed when broken.
Have the shoes of the team sharpen
ed as soon as they become dull, if you
would avoid bruises, sprains and
spavins.
There is a good market for heavy
horses, weighing from l,5OC0 to LOO
pounds, good-boned, muscular and
compact.
Skim milk, shorts, oats, barley, OIL
meal, bran. wheat and roots, prefera-
bly, carrots, are good food for colt to
grow on.
The system of using Shire blood TO
increase the size and bone of horses is
reyiving among many heretofore strict
stud book breeders.
Breed to draught-horses to get
drught-horses, to running horses for l
runners, and to trotting horses that
have trotted for trotters. '
Farmers are too apt to sell the best
horses, thinking that on the farm any
sort of team will do, and forgetting
that they are disposing of the best
producers on the farm.
The handling which the colt receiv- :
es from its earliest days until it be- :
comes mature animal is as impor- r
tant as the food that is supplied it. i

have been Gnxiously awaiting the
construction of railroad along the
western bank of the Susauohanna
through our country, aud uotwith-
standing the ropolted assurances
that the desired object was about
being accomplished, nothing tangi-
bic has as yet grown out Of the nu-
merous reports and rumors. The
latest report is to the effect that tho
local Company has decided to place
half Million Dollars of Bonds on
the market aud will commence the
construction of the road. We hope
the report will be confirmed by the
rapid construction of the road.

There is no doubt that the months
of agitation on the Milton bridge
questionresulted in Il benefit to tax
payers of both Union and Northum-
berland counties. The competition be
came very active, and the bidding
showed that n modern bridge could
not be constructed as cheaply as was
said, nor would an iron one cost as
much as first figured upon. The re-
suit has been favorable to an iron
structure on all lines of argument.
There were 1873 bids, but they were
all put in by l3 firms, showing con.
siderable rivalry and sharp practice.
