Duck growers are inclined to be-

till the size is greatly increased de-
stroys to a certain extent the vitality
of the breed in the way of producing
hatchable eggs They cite as an IL
l%ustration the Pekin ducks, which
have been bred for size in this coun-
try till they are nearly so per cent
heavier than formerly. The fertility
of the eggs was formerly very great,
but this fertility has been correspond
ingly reduced. 1t is probably the case
with all animal life, as we know 1t to
be with plant life. The more we de-

formerly produced great quantities OF
potato balls. This factor must be
counted on in developing any breed OF
fowls in a certain direction away from
that of reproduction.
The man that breeds fowls year
after year with the idea of selecting
the best for future use as breeders
must have in his minds eye a stand
ard. If he is breeding for flesh. he
can form his opinions by the y and
by the weight of the birds as deter
mined by the scales. But II he Is
breeding for eggs, it would be a good
idea to shut his eyes as to the form
and symmetry and keep close watch
of the egg returns and their source
The fact is that breeding for eggs Will
generally be away from the symme-
try OF form seen in the flesh-producing
fowl, and the breeding for weight Will
mean a decreased number of eggs
each year, or, at least, each genera
ton.

In addition to the past fiscal
year being the greatest year in our
history in the matter of the foreign
trade it has also been the record
year in the matter Of gold produc-
ton in this country. 81
Chief Austin, of the Bureau Of
Statistics of the Treasury Depart
ment, calls attention to the fact
that the gold mined in the United
States during the year ending De-
cember 81, 1899. exceeds that of
any year in our history, and for
the FIRST time surpasses the record
established in 1853, when the
mines of California made their
highest record of s65, 600. 900. The
gold production of the United
States was in 1893, according to
the estimate of the Director of
the Mint. SO, 500, 600, while no

Total as that of 1853. $685. 900, 600,
though the total for 1893 was $751;
1853, 900. The annual average gold
product of the United States is
now double that of q decade ear
lier, though in this particular the
growth has been no more rapid
than that of other parts of the
world, the worlds total product in
1899 having heen, according to the
best estimates, $315, 900, 600,
against $12S, OOO, 900 a decade ear
lier. I
This enormous production of
gold has been accompanied, Is was
natural, with the great CONNER
cial developments. While the
world has learned to get along
with a smaller proportion of actu-
al money to the total business it
handles, owing to the improved
facilities for exchange and more
rapid communication, the volume
of business has itself increased
enormously 30 that the larger gold
supply has found ready use. Not
withstanding it's increased supply
and production, gold has become
in recent years more than ever be-
fore the great standard of value.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

DKAiNAOE LID MIL.
It is with the greatest pleasure
our people will learn of the action
of the police jury at their meeting
Monday last, in taking the steps
necessary to organize and esta-
blish a drainage district ON the
east side of the Teche, in the
Point Clair section. The planters
of that section, own some OF the
very best lands in the country,
but these lands being somewhat
low, though they may Reconsider
ed as safely above overAows, need
drainage, and those who are &C
quainted with the topography of
this pretty section, are satisfied
that it can be satisfactorily drain
ed by dredging Coulee Point Clair.
Mr.. A. ". Fournet who is taking
an active part in this matter has
some eight hundred acres of land
in that section, and he claims that
thousands of good lands which are
now idle or are producing poor
crops, would be turned into the
most productive fields in this
whole section. The fertility of
these lands are known to every
body, but drainage was sorely
needed. -
Ills now proposed 10 have that
portion of Iberia parish which is
on the other side of Coulee Point
Clair incorporated in the same
drainage district, and if this is &C
complished, and we have no doubt
it will, it will make of that section
one of the finest in the State.
The manner suggested of rails
ing the funds necessary to do the
work will be to raise an acreage
tax of about ten cents per acre,
which tax would have 10 be levied
for two or three years, we believe.
If this Coulee Pointe Clair was
to be dredged up to the place Of
Mr.. A. P. Resweber, or Is close
to st. Martinville AZ possible, it
would also prove of immense good
to the swamping interest, as small
boats could run in the Coulee to
the Lake, which would make traf-
fic between this place and the
swamps very easy.
We would suggest that other
sections of the parish take steps
at once to form drainage districts,
Cypress Island, and the Babin
sections could be easily drained if
organized in drainage districts, and
the tax would be small matter
compared to the increase of the
crops that would be made, and the
increase in the value of these
lands.
But it would be folly to try to
spade these drains, they must be
made wide and deep, and only al
g,od dredge boat can do such |
work.
