They are excellent layers, averaging
from 100 to 100 eggs each in a season.
They are nonsetters, hardy, easily
raised, and the earliest in maturing of
any ducks. Other ducks are judged for
practical qualities by the Peklng.
The standardized Picking has long,
finely-formed head, bill of medium
size, of a deep yellow color, that is per-
fectly free from any mark or color
other than yellow. The color of the bill
is very important for exhibition birds,
and it is not infrequent that one of the
best ducks in a showroom is disqualified
for having faint tracing of black in
the bill. The eyes are of deep leaden
blue color. The neck of Picking
should be neatly curved; in the drake
it should be large and rather long, while
that of the duck is of medium length.
The back is long and broad; breast is
round, full, and very prominent. The
body is long and deep, and the standard
gives for adult birds a body approach
ing the outlines of parallelogram.
The wings are short, carried closely and
smoothly against the body. The birds
cannot sustain flight, two-foot fenc-
ing being ample to restrain them in
an inclousure. The tail is erect, more
so than in any other specimen. The
curled feathers in the tail of the drake
are hard and stiff. The thighs are
short and large; shanks short and
strong, and in color are reddish
orange; toes straight, connected by
web, and reddish orange in color. The
plumage is downy, and of faint
creamy white throughout. Recently
1t has been noticed that preference in
the showroom is being given to birds of
whittier plumage. The breeders are Sc
lecting as their show birds those that
have the snow-white plumage instead
of the creamy white, as given in the
standard.
The standard weight of the adult
drake is pounds; adult duck, pounds;
young drake, pounds, and young
duck, pounds.-Bulletin United States

BEET SUGAR MAKING.
Process by Which Farmers Mny Pro-
duce the Article.

In reply to an appeal from the Epit-
omist Publishing company of Indianap-
oils asking for some process by which
farmers may produce beet sugar at
home in small way for their own use
DIR. II. n. Wiley, chief chemist of the
United States department OF agricul-
ture at Washington, expresses his views
rs follows: The production of crude
beet sugar in small way is an extreme
ly simple process. Any farmer who is
equipped with cider mill for rasp-
ing the beets, cider press for express
ing the juice and an evaporation suitable
for making sorghum molasses can pro-
duce crude beet sugar. AS rule this
sugar will not be very palatable, because
1t is not refined and contains the salts
and bitter principles which make raw
beet sugar and beet molasses as rule
unfit for table use. 1t will be, however,
an interesting object lesson to our
farmers to demonstrate the fact that
the sugar beet itself contains sugar. and
that the latter can be made in the crude
way | have mentioned above.
In this way the making of sugar in
a small way by farmers may prove
stimulus 10 the industry and do great
good. Farmers. however. should not
be deceived by the expectation of being
able to make their sugar in successful
way commercially. The successful and
profitable manufacture Of sugar can
only be accomplished in expensive fac
tories, equipped with all the appliances
necessary to make pure refined sugar.
Only the pure refined beet sugar can
ever become an article of commerce. In
this the beet differs from the sugar
cane, because the latter will give
sugar which. even in the crude state. is
palatable and marketable; in fact,
many people prefer crude cane sugar
to the refined article on account Of its
containing the aromatic principles Of
the cane. which give II an odor and fla
vor very acceptable to most palates. I
trust that any of your readers who may
undertake the manufacture of beet
sugar In the crude way have men
toned above may do so only from the
point Of view indicated. and not with
the expectation of making II CONNER
eial success.

FATTENING SHEEP.
Dry, Comfortable Quarters Certainly
Is the First Requisite.


To make sheep most profitable on the
ordinary farm none should be kept but
what can be sheltered comfortably and
fed so as to keep them in thrifty con-
dition. All above this number should
be fattened and marketed in good sea-
son. The flock kept for profit should
consist largely Of young, thrifty ewes
that can be depended upon to bring a
good lamb, as well as to grow good
fleece of wool. In preparing for mar
ket it will pay to take considerable
pains to fatten well, as the increase in
price with the heavier weight will re-
turn a good profit for the feed and la
Dor.
The time required to fatten sheep de-
ponds considerably upon their age and
| condition at the time of commencing to
feed. Old ewes that have passed their
prime require longer period of feed
ing than young. vigorous sheep that
are in thrifty condition.
In fattening old sheep it is nearly
| always best to feed ground grain, as
| usually they have poor teeth
Glover hay that has been cut in good
season, properly cured and stored away
is the best forage. Next to this is millet,
but good cornfodder and unthreshed
oats can be used to good advantage in
making up n variety.
Three parts corn, or cornmeal and
one part wheat bran, to which a little
oil meal has been added. makes one Of
the best rations that can be given to fat
tening sheep. Corn or cornmeal should
be made the principal ration, yet some
thing of a Variety should be given in
order to maintain good appetite.
Gradually increase the ration until
they are given all that they will eat
up clean, taking eareSat all times not to
overfeed.
OF all stock usually kept on the farm,
sheep are most easily and most serious
ly injured by overlooking; often they
will require four or five days to over.
come the effect of one overfeed. With
care in feeding, keeping them on full
feed, with good fattening ration,
sheep can be fattcd in six weeks.
But to fatten most rapidly they must
have dry, comfortable quarters and be
kept quiet They should be fed regular
y. have all the water they can drink
and have access to salt. Have fiat-bot-
toned shallow troughs in which to feed
grain; these are better than the "
shaped, for the reason that the grain
cannot be punched so easily, and each
sheep has better opportunity of sccur-
ing share. Racks or managers should
also be provided in order to avoid waste
With sheep. as with all other stock, it
is quite an item to lessen the cost as
much as possible, Market as soon as
fully ready. 1t is no advantage toNfeed
after the sheep are ready.-St. louis

A serf,s ForethouUht.

Count Scheremetef, an immensely
wealthy and powerful Russian noble
who lived in the early part of this CEN
fury, had among his serfs man named
Schalouchine, who had amassed an
enormous fortune. He had offered as
much as $250,000 for his freedom, but
in vain. One day Scheremetef gave a
dinner party, and to his disgust there
were no oysters to begin the banquet
with. "They were not to be had al any
price," replied the steward. At that
moment Schalouchine was ushered in
among the guests, and Scheremetef
bullied him as usual. "Your freedom"
he yelled, you cannot have 1t IL you Of
fered million Of rubles. A million,
pshaw! few dozen oysters would be
worth more than that to me at this mo-
ment." do 1 understand, then, my
lord, that you would grant me my free
dom II I procured them for you?'
YES" was the answer. Schalouchire
had brought a barrel Of oysters, having
heard of the dinner. The deed of free
dom was Immediately signed, Schalou-
chine took his place among the guests,
and his descendants are not only the
wealthiest bankers in Russia, but were
ennobled, about quarter of a century
ago.-London Illustrated News.

"DlNNER is READY"
The Announcement ns Conveyed by
Mrs. Lion to Her spouse.


Mrs. Lion TO Her spouse.
I happened to be standing in front C,
a lions cage the other day, about four
o'clock. Mr.. Lion was sound asleep in
a corner, his countenance expressive
of happy repose, while one huge paw
was supporting the tawny head, that
seemed as innocent as IA lambs. He
looked amazingly like one of the seven
sleepers. Opposite was Mrs. Lion, step
ping about like huge pussy cat, now
glancing at her sleeping lord, then
whisking her tail impatiently, but with
wifely consideration not doing thing
that could disturb his siesta. Back and
forth she marched, and it seemed as IL
her rhythmic tread was n sort of saw
age lullaby, for the beast in the corner
scarcely breathed under its spell, Sud-
denly she stopped beside him, her nose
only few inches from his ear, but her
cleaning eyes were turned far away.
1t was only a second, but her sleeping
companion lifted his head, and peered
in the same direction; then he bounded
to his feet All was changed. The king
of beasts was every inch n king. With
quivering nostrils and head erect he
gazed with all his eager might. What
was it? What had she told him? And
then the two danced that figure of
quadrille, the familiar partners, cross
gover." Round, and round, back and
forth, till l, fairly dizzy watching the
fslnceasing motions of their bodies,
turned about to find it was feeding time.
The watching lady had simply an
nounced that dinner was served"
Poor things, they did not get their

ners, cross over" expectation and hum
ger making them perfectly oblivious
to the sympathy that was being offered
by curious spectator. The couple of
pounds of raw meat actually melted
in Mr.. Lions mouth, but Mrs. Lion took
longer to masticate her portion, and
am sorry to relate she did not show that
consideration for her old mans feel
ings which made me admire her so
much at first. She now turned her
back on him, and devoured the tidbit
far away in a corner of the cage, growl-
ing fiercely whenever he moved. 1t is
feared she is like many others Of her
sex, and lacks the charm of a confiding
naturalization Herald

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
WHITE PEkINa DUCKS.
The standard breed for Farm and
Practical Purposes.

The standard breed for Farm and
Practical Purposes.
OF all ducks for farm and practical
purposes none stands higher in popular
esteem than the White Picking. 1t is
valuable for raising on large scale,
and is the most easily raised of any
1t is very timid bird and must be
handled quite carefully.
The Picking duck has a distinct type
of it's own, and differs from all others
in the shape and carriage of its body.
BY some it is credited with having n
shape much like an Indian canoe, ow-
ing to the full growth of feathers un-
der the rump and the singular turned
up carriage of the tail The legs are
set far back, which causes the bird to
walk in an upright position. In size
these ducks are very large, some reach
ing as high as 20 pounds to the pair.
Their flesh is very delicate and free
from grossness, and they are consid-
cred among the best of table fowls.
