A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
a remarkable record. 1t has been in
use for over thirty years, during
which time many million bottles have
been sold and used. 1t has long been

the treatment of Group in thousands
of homes, yet during all this time no
case has ever been reported to the
manufacturers where it failed to affect
azure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or as soon as
the croupy cough appears, it will pre-.
vent the attack. 1t is pleasant to
take, many children like it. 1t con-
tains no opium or other harmful sub
stances and may be given as conf
IDENTIFY to a child as to an adult.

The Majority Law.

The Boston Post says concerning
Vermont's majority" SYSTEM
The failure to elect Governor in
Vermont by popular vote has awak-
ened the sleepy electors of that State
to a recognition of the fact that they
are away behind the times. No such
ridiculous muddle as this is possible
in any other Staten the Union. The
plurality system has been generally
accepted for great many years and
everywhere it has been fair and just.
The requirement of an absolute ma
iority over all is a relic of days long
past, when the conditions of society
were far different from those which
obtain to-day.
Just now, in Vermont, in addition
to the failure of electors to choose a
Governor and Lieut. Governor, a
number of towns are left without
representation in the Legislature.
In the present division of the parties
for and against prohibition, this may
have an important influence when
the Legislature meets, if the vacant
seats are not flledsin the meantime.
There have been efforts made to
change this system and to adopt
that which is generally prevelant
throughout the country, but the con-
servative element has prevailed.
While more fault is found with the
law respecting the choice of Represen
tatives, many favor the plurality
system in the election of state officers,
although large number OF leading
public men object to departing from
the present method. elv
1t will be a great mistake if the
Vermont Legislature does not seize
the occasion to abolish the antiquat-
ed system, which has produced "no
choice" in the present election.

It is not absolutely necessary to
have so warm q house for Pekin ducks
as for fowls, but it pays best to have
good comfortable house for them.
rs will be shown presently. When
properly cared for, ducks begin to lay
during the winter months; those that
are Matched quite early in the spring
may lay in December. We should pre-
fer ducks in their second year for
breeders, or at least very early
Matched ones, SO they might be almost
or quite one year old before eggs from
them are used for Matching. Duck
lings do better that are Matched from
eggs that are laid by mature ducks.
Ducks can be plucked during warm
weather, just prior to beginning to
moult; then all the blood has gone
from the quill Of the feather, and but
little pain is given by plucking them
at that time.
Ducks sit about on the ground; they
do not roost like fowls. It is their
