DUCKS EASILY HATcHED.

Ducks are easily hatched, and If
properly managed are more easily
raised than chickens or turkeys. Prob
ably the worst thing for ducklings is
what they usually receive at first, un-
limited range and water to swim in.
The little things are in a measure
nude and should be kept in pens with
dry soils, or with floors or stone pave
ments that can be washed down daily.
No kind of poultry will succeed on
bare boards. All the water that they
need is best furnished by burning an
old pot in the ground aad laying a
round piece of board on top of the
water, with room for the. ducks to
stick their heads in and fish out the
corn that is put in the water. This
amuses them and does no harm, while
if allowed to 60 off TO ponds or streams,
they are very liable to fall prey to
vermin in some shape, or to get their
bodies wet and chilled from remaining
too long in the water. Their pens
must be kept clean il they are ex-
pected to thrlve.-American Agricul.

MARKETING HAY.

Owing to its great bulk in proper
tion to value, hay was formerly never
sent very far to market. The hay
press has re7olutionized that, and hay
is shipped pressed from all paris of
the West when the price rises above
q low figure. 1t is probably true that
the Eastern farmer who owns land near
a good market can use it to better
purpose than producing hay. To sell
any kind Of hay from the farm ex-
hausts its fertility quite as fast as
growing and selling grain and straw.
Besides, the farmer who draws hay in
bulk on wagon must use at least q
days time for himself and team. He
is shut out from making many sales,
for many people who keep a single
horse have not spare harm room to
hold full load of hay unless it is first
compressed into bales. They pay
more for it in this way, because in
buying the hay they also pay at hay
prices for much other material done
up in the bale which is practically
worthless. Boston Cultivator. g..

EVIL EFFECTS OF aoLDENRop.

This weed has been charged with
injurious effects upon horses, produc-
ing serious disorder of the blood and
causing dropsical swelling on the legs
and belly. The results in fact, are so
much like those of the disease known
as purpura hemorrhagica, or anasarca
and doubtless the effects of defec-
tive oxygenation of the blood-as to
be mistaken for the effects OF this dis.
order. These symptoms are duo to
faulty nutrition and exposure to bad
weather, both common occurrences ut
the beginning of the winter, and when
animals are forced to teed, Through
hunger, on innutritious herbage. 1t
may bo that the goldenrod, which
contains a strongly aromatic oil, may
be the cause of the disease, az some
medicinal properties have been at
tributed to this plant, or some of the
species OF it. But it is more probable
that the hunger by which the horses
were forced to consume these woods is
really the cause of the trouble. It is
one of the common experiences of
starving animals in the la:e fall, in the
expectation of saving fodder to be used
later with more useful results. This
is O great mistake. On the contrary,
all animals should be fed the best pos
sible early in the season, 80 that they
have no lost ground to recover OF the
very worst time of the year to make
recoyery.-New York Times.

The Steamer Pearl Cnps1zes In the Brls-
bane River, Queensland.
The'steamer Pearl, having on board about
eighty persons, met with peculiar accident
at Brisbane. Queensland, that resulted in the
death Of forty persons, The Brisbane River
has been greatly swollen by heavy rains that
have fallen lately, aud the current is running
very strong. The Pearl was not strong
enough to stem the current, and was swung
broadside on and carried down tho river.
Before she could get way enough on to
carry her out Of danger she was swung
a.hwart the cable chains Of the Lucinda,
which was lying at anchor In the stream.
The Pearl struck the chains with such
force that she was almost comp'e 'etely cut in
two. Then the current turned her over and
she sank Before she went down, however,
q vast volume of steum was seen ascending
from her, and it was afterward learned that
her steam pipes had been broken. Many OF
those on her lower deck were fatally scalded,
while forty were drowned.
The work Of rescuing the survivors was ez-
tremely difficult, as they were carried sea-
ward with great rapidity by the flood. Thou
sands gathered about the scene OF the dtsas-
ter, and there were many affecting scenes as
the living and dead were brought ashore
Some of tho bodies will never be recovered.
