PLUCKINC THE DUCK.
Suggestions for the Best Method for Securing the Crop of
 Feathers.

The process of plucking the feathers from the live duck is described in the Farmers Sentinel as follows:
 'In the first place. catch your ducks, and right here you can make mistake. Don't excite and worry the ducks into a panic. as they get terribly frightened when cornered, and will rush from side to side in an effort to get away.
 After you decide where you wish to pick them take some grain and scatter q little along toward the building, final ly a little thrown in will get them. as they are so greedy that they will rush in in 8 body, for they are like sheep where one goes the rest will follow.
 Then close the door on what you think you will have time to pick that morning. Move around quietly, throw only a little grain down at time, and pick up one while feeding. If you can have a small lath pen in one corner all the better Induce few into it at a time by thrcwiny ir :he grain. and you can then pick up one readily without hardly disturbing the rest.
 Have box or ssool to sit on, also a bushel basket to put the feathers in. with . cloth thrown over the basket when you come out in the wind. Try the feathers by pulling out few; If they come out easily and no blood fol- lows on the quill, they are ready. You ul. tr fyy,a tn them. they often sit around and work their feathers, and you can see scatter ing ones on the ground. If not ready. put the duck out and try another. as have found that all will not be alike.
 Turn the duck on its back. put its head under your left arm. holding its legs in your left hand. Be careful not to hold them too tight and close to- gether. Their legs are set quite wide apart and are easily lamed and hurt. Pick few feathers out at time with quick. short jerks. Get most of the feathers of the breast and under parts. leaving the fine down. not disturbing the back. for the duck will be apt to sunburn and Ee long time recovering. The incest feathers are on the breast.
 If you wish one for dinner. as soon as killed commence picking it dry, as the feathers will come out much easier while warm. Have the tea kettle oil. and when you have picked all the feath- CTS and down that will come of readily. scald the rest. and with a small. sharp knife pick and scrape it quite clean. Dip in bot water. then in cold to plump it. and you will have a nice looking duck.
 They seem hard to dress if you don't know how. and you will probably spend a good deal of time over your first oi;e. but practice will soon shorten the work.
 Put the feathers into a four sack. not too full. and hang them in the wind or by the stove to dry out before put ting away The Pekin duck furnishes such beautiful white feathers for pill lows that if you can have time to pick the old ones and those you intend to keep over several times in the summer it will seem to help pay for the feed"

SMOKING MEATS SAFELY. Method Which May Be Used with Great Satisfaction and
 Success.
Bee Hive as an Incubator.

A farmer in Ohio is reported to have successfully practiced matching chickens by the heat given off by swarm of bees. In response to inquiry, the fol- lowing reply was received: q can hatch over bees every egg that is fertile. First you need an cat chaff hive Then stretch a piece of cheescloth above the bees and lay the eggs on it. Put cushion on its side and top around the eggs. If any have doubt about the temperature being right for matching eggs, they can test it for themselves if they have swarm of bees handy."-Massachusetts Plough man.
