1t is true to say that there is hardly any
other one agency of evil SO frauRht with
ruin to body and soul as that of drunken

due, directly or indirectly, to the habits
contracted in the saloon.
Although young man may be all right
when he goes into a saloon, he soon comes
to glory in the kind Of company he finds
there, and taking to their speech and
habits, he becomes drunkard like them;

750 Pounds of Duck.

Our young ducks were put in an or
chard, around the south side of which
were raspberry bushes, writes an In
diana farmer. The hens tried to
mother them, but no, they were "free
born" and as independent as young
America. Some of the hens stayed on
with the ducks at night for six or
eight weeks, others left in despair in
two weeks.
They had no swimming water, but
mad all the water they wanted to drink
all the time. Charcoal and pounded
dishes for gIit, also o pile of sharp
sand, were in reach all the time.
They were fed from start to finish on
coarse corn meal. The first six weeks
it was mixed with milk, soda and salt
and baked until we'll done. The
crust of this bread was soaked, the
inside generally fed as it was. After
the baking was stopped the meal was
still mixed with milk, soda and salt.
A handful of sharp sand was used in
each quart OF soft feed once day. If
impossible to furnish milk, bone and
beef, meal or cut green bone would
more than take its place. Understand,
they had all the green stuff they
wanted and free range, but as they
were we'll fed they didn't wander over
more than an acre. The first month
they were fed four times a day all
they would eat, after that three times
day. The very little ones were fed
five times or whenever they came up
hungry.
In June We sold twenty-five that
weighed when delivered at Indianapo-
lis eighty-nine pounds live weight, for
which we received ten cents per pound.
The oldest of these twenty was nine
weeks, the remaining nineteen seven
weeks. The price of ducks went down
with a rush and we kept the others
until October, when we sold 1877 at
six and quarter cents q pound live
weight. They weighed 664 pounds.
We kept twenty. After they were
put off with the hens, but one died.
two were mashed and six drowned in
we'll. There were 1926 pounds of
feed bought, which cost S25. 40 This
grain, of course, was used also to
feed the hens and to start young
chickens.

WISE WORDS.

One cannot always be hero, but
one can always be man.
If a man be endued with generous
mind, this is the best kind of nobility.
You will never find time for any
thing. If you want time you must
make it.
Don't be witty. A man who says
a good thing is always expected to
keep on doing it.
Men often have an idea they are be-
ing good because they are not any
worse than usual.
Love is all right, but it makes q
man look silly to get lace paper en-
velope in his mail.
If man doesn't laugh when he
sees a girl try to sharpen pencil he
is in love with her.
That charity is bad which takes
from independence its proper pride or
from begging its shame.
Give a wounded heart seclusion;
consolation nor reason ever effected
anything in such a case.
A girl is never really in love with a
man until she thinks of him when she
says her prayers at night.
The beatitudes are the rules for
everyday living, and for the humblest
as well as the highest occupations.
The unexpected never happens;
there are always people around who
knew things would turn out that way.
Surprises are in store for young
married couples who think that they
understand one another thoroughly.
What an absurd thing it is to pass
over all the valuable parts of man,
and fix our attention on his infrmi-
ties.
No man can be brave who thinks
pain the greatest evil; nor temperate
who considers pleasure the highest
good.
Happiness is not attained by max
ing it the chief object of life. The
path to it often leads through trials
and tears.

A Lutheran University.

The proposed Lutheran University
probably will be built in Chicago, or,
at least, very near that city. The
purpose of the church is to found
an institution on the model of the
foremost foreign universities and to
endow it with at least so, 900, 900.
The fund will be raised according to
systematic plans already devised. Ac.
cording to recent discussion of the
project, Chicago was selected as the
site of the institution on account of its
central location. The strongest
Lutheran cities in the country are New
York and Philadelphia, neither of
which was selected, for fear the
Lutheran spirit in the other would be
blighted with jealousy. The univer.
sity is intended to unite all the
Lutherans of the land and, as the
Northwest is largely peopled by
foreigners who are members of the
sect, Chicago was deemed an admir-
able location for the institution. The
honor of originating the idea of a
Lutheran university belongs to the
Rev. G. A. Bierdemann, of Utica.

Grass and Clover with Grain.

1t is always, we believe, a mistake
to omit either grass or clover seeding,
or both, when sowing small grain OF
any kind. If farmer calculates be-
forehand upon seeding his land with
grass and clover, he will be apt to give
the surface soil better cultivation, and
leave it reasonably smooth. This,
though done for the grass and clover
crop, is much better for the grain also.
Even in a poor season some of the
grass seed is likely to grow, and if the
summer be wet one there may be q
good catch. This failure to seed with
grain is often defended, on the ground
that the land is soon to be plowed
anyway, and it is not worth while to
SOW seed where the field is to be
plowed again the same season or the
following spring. But something may
happen to prevent this. The old
meadow or pasture may be so injured
that 1t is necessary to plow them up
and reseed. In such case, if no grass
or clover seed was sown the present
spring, there is a greater area of land
to be plowed than can be properly
and not enough land fit for
pasture or meadow. A new seeding
always cuts more the first and second
years than it will if kept later. Hence,
to reseed land as often as grain crop
is sown is the best way to get the most
out of it, and, We may add, the best
also to make the soil increase in
fertility. Boston Cultivator.

Trees Gnawed by Mice or Rabbits.

If the portion of the tree from which
the bark has been eaten is at once
covered with grating wax, healing
will usually take place and the tree
live. OF course, if the exposed wood
is allowed to become dry this surface
must be bridged over with scions, so
that the circulation may be renewed.
To make a suitable wax for this pur-
pose, take five or six parts of resin and
two of beeswax. Melt this, and
while hot add one part of tallow. Try
q coat OF this on green stick, expose
five minutes to the cold air or water.
If it is too hard aud cracks easily, add
little more tallow. 1t must not be
so soft that when warm spring wealth
er comes, it will run off the wood. II
beeswax cannot be readily obtained,
use only resin and tallow, in which
case a greater proportion of tallow is
required. This, however, is not as
good as when beeswax is part of the
mixture.
To apply this wax, wind about one
end of small stick strip of muslin
two inches wide. Let part of this ex-
tend beyond the stick and then tie
the whole thing firmly to it with
twine. This is used as a swab. Fill
IN old tin pail three-fourths full of
ashes. On the top of the ashes place
layer of live wood Goals and on these
Goals dish of wax. Now you are
ready to go to work. The Goals will
keep the wax warm.
With the swab put a good coat of
wax over all exposed tissue. Be care
full that it is not hot enough to burn
the wood and tissues on the bark of
the small trees. If the denuded sur
face is large, after waxing wind q
thick strip of old, tender muslin about
the tree in spiral form. Then use a
little wax to fasten the end. This is
an additional guard against the crack
ing of the wax or of its running off
during warm weather. The impor-
taut thing with this treatment is to
apply the wax at once and do not de-
lay until the wood has in any way be-
come dry, for then the sap cannot as
cend and death will finally result

Storage Battery Roads in Europe.

There are eight storage battery roads
in Europe, four of which were installed
during the past year. The largest
system of this type comprises three
roads in Paris, operating nineteen
storage battery cars, some of which
have been doing duty since 1892, and
the addition of third road last May
seems to indicate that for the condi-
tions there existing the storage bat
terry has proved satisfactory. The
other four roads are located, one at
Birmingham, England; one at Hague
Scheveningen, Holland, and two in
Austria Hungary.

Occasionally late Matched chicks
will do as well as early Matched ones,
but not often. The early birds are
the thrifty fellows as rule. March
hatched chicks, and early April as
well, seldom, if ever, have the gapes.
There is too much breeding for
points" among fanciers, yet a show
bird is usually good breeder. We
have few gentlemen fauciers who
keep fowls to look at and show. Such
birds are good for nothing except to
the owner.
We have raised thousands of chicks
lin brooders) during the winter
months until late in April, says an ex-
pert and have never had a single
case of gapes, while later in the sea-
son the chicks raised with hens have
frequently suffered. The later brood
er chicks were allowed to run at large,
too.
1t is poor economy to buy the
cheapest eggs on the market. There
are are exceptions, yet as q rule the
higher-priced eggs reasonably
pricedD are the cheapest in the end.
1t costs a great deal for fanciers to
keep up their fiocks to high degree
of perfection, and they. must charge
more than the "come by chance
man.
The secret of early sitters is early
layers. Those hens that laid all
through the winter are the ones that
want to sit in February and March.
The reason is plain. 1t takes warm,
especially warm and moist, weather
to hatch the gapeworm egg. There
fore the chicks cannot pick them up
because the gapeworm egg non est in
ventus.
The vast majority of poultrymen
want good layers or good market
fowls, aud want them we'll bred;
further than that they care nothing.
To-day we have practical fanciers on
every hand-men who breed for re-
suits, or who put results before feath-
ers. Therefore their focks must be
strong and vigorous, and among these
strong, vigorous birds will be found
many prize-winners, or birds fit for
such honors.

Marriage in PENNSYLVANIA,

We had comfortable wedding at
the home of one of our oldest families
last Thursday. George Alley married
Katie, the daughter of Colonel candy"
Frew. The wedding was held early
in the morning, as the happy couple
wished to take a wedding tour over the
N. and s. V. Railroad to Newport.
The marriage was performed at 6. 80 q.
m. by Squire Brown. After sumptu-
Gus breakfast of sausage, buckwheat
cakes and bananas, the bridal couple
departed on the train the same day.
The bridegroom looked happy and the
bride handsome. She is SO handsome
that it is said she can mash potatoes
by just looking at them. The next
day after the wedding George was in
the store, and, after sitting behind the
stove for about two hours, evidently
in deep thought he rose, stretched
himself, and remarked: "Travlin's
