CARE OF YOUNG DUCKS.
Easily Raised Without Access 20 Eithss
Stream or Pond.

Easily Raised Without Access g Eiths9
Stream or Pond.
Ducks can be probably and easily
raised without access to . stream or
pond of water for swimming purposes.
Ducks had best not be taken from
the nest until they are - hours old.
They may then be put in blocks of 20
or rs in grassy pen from IL to Is feet
square and about two feet high, and
about ''air tight at the bottom. as a
young duck can squeeze through al
most any opening. no matter how small.
The pen should be movable, and be
frequently changed, as it will soon be-
come filthy. 1t should also be pro-
vided with a low shed or box with a
floor in it for loosting place. If a
piece of closely-sheared sheepskin or
heavy sacking. lined with heavy fan
mel or cotton flannel. be tackled to the
top of a three-sided frame two or three
inches high, so it will sag little, aud
thus make a warm place for the duck
lings to hover under and to roost in at
night, they will do as well without
hen as with one, as the only use they
have for her is to hover under. Indeed,
they will do better alone, unless with
an unusually quiet hen, for many hens
become nervous" at the noise and
continuous motion of ducklings, and,
losing their heads" trample the little
things to death, while the cloth mother
just described never harms them. un-
less, indeed, it be made too warm.
That, of course. must be regulated ac-
cording to the weather. 1t must also
be well aired daily, and the floor
cleaned regularly,
For the first two or three days. duck
lings should be fed stale whGat bread
moistened with milk; after this should
come curds, table scraps. cooked vege-
tables, cornmeal dough. chopped let
tuce. beet leaves. onion tops. etc.-all
chopped, of course, as a duckling is
endowed with but little sense. and
will try to swallow anything placed
before it. and if the bites are too large
will choke to death-a victim of appe-
tlte. Yet we can hardly blame them,
when SO many human beings come to
dreadful death as the result of unre-
strained appetite. Milk, either sweet
or sour, is good for ducks. and some
gravel should also be supplied.
They must never be allowed without
a supply of drinking water, as their
thirst is insatiate. and if not quenched
will soon produce death.-Practical
Farmer.

BREEDING HORSES.

Temperament Is as Important . Consid-
Grafton as Soundness.
In breeding horses there are other
things to consider besides the appear
snce and performance of sire and dam.
One of the most important of these is
temperament. A vicious and ill-tem-
pered mare, whatever her good points
may be, should never be retained for
breeding purposes. Moral qualities
are as surely transmitted to descend
ants as physical features. A vicious
brood mare should at all times be re-
tected. ID. Curnieu, French authority,
rightly says: NO mare should be used
as brood mare unless she is perfectly
we'll known" If she has any vice
it will most proba bly, be perpetuated,
and in an augmented form, especially
If the sire has defects of q kindred ma
ture.
1t is, of course, equally as important
that the sire should be free from wise as
that the dam should be so. As, how
ever, it is difficult to ascertain the tenn
per of the stallion. whether confined
to his own stable or travelling the
country, unless he has displayed his
bad temper in public, the greater the
Importance of breeding only from such
mares as are not actually vicious them
selves, and that have not even a hered-
itary faint of potential waywardness
and ill-temper in their constitutions.
Although the produce of vicious
mare, if they have good looks and free
action to commend them, may be sold
at high prices as unbroken colts, no
one should attempt to breed horses for
his own use from such an animal. On
the whole, it is good policy never to
breed to such mares.

Variety in the Sick Room.

hin to hold water put on the sill In
place Of the flower pot or a picture hung
on the wall. When cut flowers are not
at hand a few peacock's feathers or a
ranch OF vergree in a slender vase
will be a rest for the tired eyes, and a
dime will always buy a bit OF some
growing kitchen green at the grocer's,
not as aesthetic as a palm. perhaps, but
a blessed change for the restless patient.
An ugly floor covering can be covered
with canvas for a small outlay and will
be a delight on up days. For $40 a
very large room can be papered and
touched with paint. and considering the
cheerful influence of clean, bright walls,
IT Is very little. To keep a chronic or in
