Aforementioned Brain.

Under the above caption Hoard's Dairyman has tho following, which shows that brain in live stock is quite as necessary and quite as productive of desired results as it is anywhere else, and incidentally emphasizes the great importance of the thoroughbred in all animal life:
 People who have come to the pos session of cows of any of the register ed breeds of dairy cattle are apt to note the superior character of their intelligence. A Jersey cow, for in- stance, is much more intelligent i'll every way, acts more human,' as we may say, than the native COW. It is so with all the improved breeds of farm animals.
 III. w. Huntington, writing in the Outing Magazine on the Collie dog, says Length of ancestry tends to de- velop intelligence by the cumulative force Of centuries of heredity.'
 ''rh his is the reason of it. The true meaning of thoroughbred breeding is development The effort with dairy cattle is to develop their powers of milk production; develop all those org ans which contribute to all enlarged exercise of the functions of matern- ity. The modern dairy COW is simply an animal possessing an enlarged mother capacity.
 'No one function of the body has as much to do with the brain and nery- ous system at that of reproduction, and the after production of milk makes large drafts on the brain and nerves. The extra good COW in every herd is almost invariably an intelligent ami mal quickly appreciative of kind treat ment fond of being petted and very sensible to ill usage.
 "This shows a highly organized brain, capable of furnishing large supply of nerve force and sustenaDce to the maternal organs, of which the udder is one of tie most important"

Ducks in inc Garden.

They cannot scratch, but they might capture insects and when grown their flesh is superior to that of chickens. Nearly all who love the flesh of ducks for food are very fond of it, generally, and all who prize it on the tables do not tire of it so quickly as of chickens or even turkeys. Now that wild ducks are gradually becoming scarcer as the country is settled up, perhaps some ingenious breeder will inaugurate the system of so feeding tame ducks as to get the gamy flavor so pleasing to epicures. This ought not to be diff cult thing to accomplish.
 Perhaps gardeners could feed celery to tame ducks and thus produce the peculiar flavor for which can vas backs are noted, and which makes them so much to be desired by epi- cures.If this were accomplished good prices would result.-The Market Gar dener
