1t was brought up before the association

new buildings on North Capitol street, and
quite a lively ydiscussionensued. A commune
cation was drawn up by the secretary,
which will be forwarded to Mr.. Albert
Cary, president of the brewing company,

will be received.
Unemployment OF non-union labor on the
new Corcorau Art Gallery was also dis

The steam filters helpers are desirous
of forming a new local branch of the

DIsposing o, Kitchen Refuse.

The labor of keeping city streets In a
clean, presenta ole, and sanitary condi-
ton is greatly reduced by the sensible,
practical housekeeper who takes the
trouble to consume the garbage and
scraps that accumulate. The very best
way to do this is TO put upon the coal
fire, after the meal is finished, whatever
refuse may have been gathered. This
is at once the easiest, least expensive,
and cleanliest way of getting rid of II.
An old colander or metal vessel full OF
holes may be placed in the kitchen sink,
and into 1t all scraps and useless left
overs are to be thrown. When well
drained they are ready for consumption
and will help to keep the fire until the

complishing this end is a perforated
cage. designed to be slipped into a

Under the head Of milking may be
comprised the cleanliness of the ami
mails and the manner and time of milk
ing. The introduction Of separators
practically revealed the necessity for
cleanliness in n cow stable. At the ter
mination of the process of separating,
a peculiar slime is to be found adher-
ing to the sides of the separator. Its
color varies fl ON gray to green, brown
and even black. When examined un-
der the microscope. germs, portions of
plants, hair, SCOT, linen, have been dis
covered. and when exposed to the air
for a short time it putrifies rapidly. 1t
consists in reality Of dirt, and as such
must injure the quality of milk and
butter. In order to keep the milk as
free from the dirt as possible, the cows
ought to be rubbed down with a straw
whisk on their right hindquarters ana
udders before they are MIXED in the
morning. During the day it is neces-
sary to currycomb and brush each ami
NAL. The best kind of brush to be used
ia the one rather more open than an
ordinary horse brush, but OF the best
hog bristle. The animals are first
scraped over with the currycomb and
then brushed. In addition the udders of
all cows ought to be washed and dried
before milking, and the mixers ought
10 din their hands in cold water before
milking each animal. Care must be
taken to completely empty the udder
when the COW is milked. In large estab-
lishments where several mixers are
employed 1t is advisable to select one
or two of the more careful persons to
strip the cows after they have been
milked. BY this means the carelessness
of some of the mixers may be correct
ed. Each milker should have his own
stool and pail marked and numbered
and should be held responsible for the
cleanliness of the same. The milk ought
to be poured from the pail into the milk
can through double hair strainer, and
the milk cans ought, If possible, to be
placed outside the cowhouse.-R. H.
Beamish in Connecticut Farmer.

Pekin Ducks.

There is probably no branch OF tho
poultry business more profitable than
duck raising, yet but comparatively
few farmers will admit these big white
beauties to their premises. The wives
would like to keep them, for their
feathers are light and elastic, and
every way as desirable as goose feath-
ers, and while the goose lays but Few
eggs the duck lays great many. The
great objection raised against ducks IS
that they foul the horse troughs, and
the majority of the eggs are lost, Tor
ii is of no use to give Pekin duck
nest or nest eggs. She lays wherever
it happens.
To keep ducks successfully and with
out annoyance about watering troughs
a small pen is necessary. Their house
need not be fine affair nor the yard
expensive. A fence two feet high Will
hold them, and twelve feet square is
ample for dozen or fifteen ducks. In
side the yard may be placed trough.
An inexpensive trough may be made
by taking two pieces of 2X10 scantling
four feet long. Round them up at each
end like sled runners. Take a piece or
galvanized iron two feet wide and nail
ii to the rounding sides of the scant-
ling. To make it stronger nail pieces
OF 2X4s across each end. This makes
a very convenient trough to clean, for II
can be rocked back and forth to clean
it, A pipe from the windmill supplies
ours with water. Our trough has been
in constant use for six years and looks
good for several years more. Ducks
soon become accustomed to their home,
and after their gate is opened in the
morning-it ought not be opened before
| 10 o'clock during the haying season
| they will go forth in search of bugs,
etc. but frequent return visits will be
made to that trough The eggs should
be gathered before they are given their
| liberty. and they should always be Civ
en- breakfast in their pen.
The best food for laying ducks is
scalded bran and the table scraps. En-
silage will be eaten greedily by the
ducks. Raw carrots are good food.
Very little grain will be consumed If
green food and table SCRAPS are fur
nished. Ducklings are very easy TO
manage, but a mistake sometimes costs
the loss of large flock. They are best
raised in brooders even il hatched
under hens. For years we have no ar
tificial heat for ducks, but we would do
so If we raised them in large numbers.
| They can stand more cold than chick
en-, but we cover ours when the weather
is bad, only letting them out of their
box to eat. We feed them every two
hours until they are several weeks old.
Open water dishes are disastrous to
ducklings. They get wet, roll over on
their backs and die. We have never
been very particular what we fed the
ducklings-bread crumbs. cold pota-
toes. scalded corn chop and table scraps;
only feed often and keep them clean.
Lice is sure death to ducklings. If
hatched under hens oil their heads as
soon as hatched. Inbreeding is gseat
cause Of failure in duck raising. You
may inbreed chickens and have fair
success. but ducks never. They take fits
and die II is poor economy to try TO
get on with the stock on hand to save
expense.-Betsy Trotwood in Western

Dairy Form-One point must always
be kept prominently in mind. We may
not know exactly how milk is produced,
but we do know that it comes, some
how. from the food. The great dairy
COW must be able and willing to eat,
digest and assimilate large quantities
of food. A large abdomen is important,
as 1t is an indication Of health, vigor,
vitality. This suggests the danger CT
going to extremes in insistence on
"dairy form" The cow must be good
animal first, that is she must have abil-
ity to well perform all the functions
necessary to preservation of life and
health. Fineness of bone or general
delicacy of structure may be carried
too far. Another common complica-
ton in Judging pure bred cows is the
difficulty in properly apportioning the
relative importance of breed character
istics and general dairy characteristics.
There is no reason to believe that color,
or the size. shape or absence OF horns
materially affect the ability to give
milk. but such things are taken into
account by the breeder. There must be
n considerable modification of definition
OF terms in judging different breeds.
That which would be called small or
fine in one might be called large o.
coarse in another breed.-Ex.
