 change Yesterday.
 New York, Dec. 16,-Stoeks were ir- regular during the early trading at the stock exchange, but in, the main the market showed more resistance than on yesterday The opening was steady to firm and less, attentioA was paid to the Cuban question. In fact the reso- lution introduced by Senator Morgan yesterday was practically ignored. Following the opening there was an attack on Burlington and Quincy, Manhattan and American Spirits pre- | ferred, which resulted in a break of 17sQ2 per cent. in these issues. Bur- 1 lington and Quincy got down to TEA, 1 the lowest price for a long time, and Manhattan sold as low as 90 ex-divi- | dend of 11a per cent.
 The heaviness of the last named was due in a measure to the circulation of a rumor which could not be confirmed | that certain holders of the Metropolis | tan Elevated first and second mort gages intended to ask the courts to pre- vent the payment of dividends or Manhattan stock on the ground that they had not been earned. The general ist was affected by rumors of proba- hle exports of gold late in the week The fact that money commands com paratiyely high rates abroad while here it goes begging at 11a per cent lends color to the story.
 | Foreign exchange is also much firmel on account of the demand from remit ters in connection with the January interest and dividend payments due abroad. During the late dealings there was 8 decided change for the better in stocks and on moderate purchases to cover short contracts a recovery o1 14 to 2A per cent. ensued.

DUCK RAISING PAYS.
Farmers Should Pay More Attention to
This Lucrative Business.


A good many people are prejudiced
against ducks, because of the notion
that they make mud and are noisy, and
are not as profitable as chickens. This
is a great mistake, for ducks can be
kept as easily and in as clearly man.
ner as any other fowls, if they are fur
lished with proper quarters.
Pekin or NI>ouen ducks do not need
water, except a plentiful supply to
drink, and this can be furnished IN such
way as to keep them from getting into
it, as they surely will if they can. We
always give our ducks tub to battle in,
and when they have had their bath
empty the tub for that day.
Ducks produce as many eggs as do
hens, and in most of places their eggs
sell for two cents a dozen more than
hens eggs, because of their greater
size. If they have been well kept
through the winter, they will begin to
lay about the middle of February. and
continue until they have produced
about Is dozen, when the old ones may
be sold, leaving the spring hatch for
reXt seasons work.
Ducks will thrive on the coarsest
kind of food, and the young are very
Hardy, as they are never bothered with
lice or diseases of the kind that often
attack young chickens. A duck once
Matched is liable to live to maturity on
food that a chic would die on in a
week.
When sold ducks always sell for more
by the pound than chickens do, and
there is no reason to believe that a
pound of duck costs more than pound
of chicken.
We have named Pekins and Rouens
Tho Aylesburys are just as valuable,
but pure-bred ones are very rare, most
of them having been crossed with Pekin
blood.
We are very much in favor of the
farmers paying more attention to
ducks than they show a disposition to
ut this time.-Farm and Fireside.

brown in color. This he threw over the
road, and it was tossed with a light
brush over the surface; then the engine
with its heavy rollers passed over it
and it was rolled into the asphalt.
Tar was poured at the edge again, and
the engine passed over it right against
lthe curb. When the Is feet of road bed
was finished, a man with rake broke
its edge in curves, and the engine passed
lover this broken edge until there was a
,slanted surface to the unfinished Is next
to be done. The reason for this was
that the joining might not show. Be
sides, if straight edge was left be-
tween every Is feet, it would be a
crack, and the rain would settle in it
and destroy the road bed; by this meth
cd the joining was not unlike piece of
dovetailing in carpentry, and the road
was perfectly smooth and unbroken.
"he men examined every inch of the
ace after it looked finished, and
OY uneven place or marred place was
: bed with a knife, and the men with
n Cat hammer heads and the smooth

g place where the defect had been
until it reached the standard of smooth
ness and equality. A bevel like carpen-
ter's bevel and long, thin board, were
passed over the whole 81 feet to de-
termine it's equality. 1t took two hours
to finish each Is feet of road, and about
Is men were working. They worked
like soldiers. Each man had his work as
signed him, and did it as though he were
part of machine. When his part was
finished he stood out of the way of the
other workers. The horse that dragged
the cart in which the asphalt was carried
hot knew perfectly well what he was to
do. He backed and turned without a
word being said to him. He had adriver,
but apparently be did not need him.
Asphalt is mined, and there are several
states in this country in which it is
found. The mines in this country have
not been worked much until the last
few years, most of the asphalt we used
being imported from Trinidad. The
industry in this country is now being
developed, as there is a2reater demand
for the product.-Mar Willis, in N. Y.

The floor of the house should be at

Some prefer to pack sawdust or
other material between the walls, but
the model we are describing has moth
ing between the walls, as the dead air
is as good a nonconductor as anything,
and if the packing gets wet it allows
the heat to enter and rots the siding.
We have known ice to be kept very
nicely in a single-walled house, but it
is not safe to trust it in such a one.
Ice is about as cheap a luxury as the
farmer can indulge in, and the one who
begins to store it will not soon give it

Step in the Right Direction.

While the movement for improved
highways has not yet accomplished
what was expected of it in some sec
lions of the country, the agitation OF
the question has served to educate
the people not only in relation to the
value of good roads, but also as to
the means of preserving serviceable
highways when once secured. 1t is now
generally recognized that the use of
wagons with wide tires is one of the
indispensable aids to The maintenance
of permanently good roads, and the
near future will undoubtedly witness
the practical desertion-of the narrow
tire for all heavy wagcns.-Colman'
