1t will be seen that In 1880, while
45 per cent Of those employed were en-
gagged in agriculture, only 81 per cent
were engaged in trade and transpor-
tation, manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits, but that In 1900 less than SO
per cent were engaged in agriculture,
while almost Al per cent were engaged
In manufacturing and commerce.
This does not, of course, indicate the
extinction Of agriculture. 1t merely
indicates change In les relative i'm
portance. The number Of persons ac-
tually engaged In agriculture increased
between 1880 and 1900 from 7,714, 600
to 10,382,OO0 and the number is likely
to increase for many years, especially
II our vast irrigable domain is thrown
open to settlement and is settled by
bona fine homeseekers. With the
growth in the commercial and indus
trial population there is bound to be a
growth in the number of those en-
gagged in the business Of growing their
food supply. In country such as this,
with its broad areas of fertile land
available for industry, and with its
vast resources Of the raw material Of
industry and Of manufacturing power.
agriculture Is bound to demand the
services Of more and more men. To
make this clear 1t is SUFFICIENT to say
that In 1880 there were engaged in
commerce and the mechanical indus
tries 2,25O,O00 persons, who were fed
by the labOrs of 7,714,OOO agricultur-
lists, while in 1900 there were engaged
in commerce and the mechanical In
dustries 1852, 900 persons, who were
fed by the labors Of 1O,3S2, 900 persons
While 1t is still true that agriculture
is, and for many years is likely to re
main, the foundation industry or
which rests the prosperity of the
whole country, such a change in the
distribution Of occupations as thai
which has occurred since 1890 is Of
great social and political as well al
Of economic significance. 1t is reflect

h the Gas is Public.

Nj. Newbigging, chief engineer of
the Manchester municipality owned gas
works, in a paper read recently said
that the introduction of the incandes-
cent gas-burner had given a new lease
of life to gas undertakings, and had
placed gas in the front position as the
cheapest illuminant.
Having made the statement that cleo.
tricity, light for light at Manchester
prices, is eight times dearer than gas,
he said an incandescent gastburner de.
velops, per cubic foot of gas consumed,
from fifteen to forty candles, accord.
ing to the system. With gas ifty-siX
cents per 1000 cubic feet and electricity
at 7.72 cents per unit, average prices
in Manchester, the cost would be 3.72
cents for 1000 candles, while One unit
of electricity developed in an incan.
descent burner a light equal to 256
candles each at 7.72 cents pertunit, or
3O.1O cents per 1000 candles.
The Manchester gas works intends
to- establish a new department to deal
not only with the maintenance.of con-
sumers' incandescent burners, United
States Consul Halstead reports, but to
assist in developing the greatest
amount of light from the gas con.

Economy in Feeding Ducks.

On starting into business with ducks
the inexperienced are apt to find they
are running short of food long before
spring shows signs of returning. In
summer it is quite true ducks forage
and pick up the greater part of their
food. This is especially true in case
they have access to a running stream,
and can get young frogs, minnows and
water bugs. But there is danger of
their being killed by the turtles, so
great are is necessary if they run at
large to prevent their being carried off
by beasts of prey. On the other hand,
if ducks are confined they eat an I'M
before them in the form of corn, wheat
or rye, and one thinks of the express
sion, eff you want to make ducks pay
for their raising do not let them eat
their heads off" In turning the mat
ter over in my mind 1 decided to try
vegetable food cooked and mixed with
a bran and meal mixture. Turnips and
potatoes were boiled, but the cabbage
was fed raw. Another idea 1 con
ceived was that the food must be put
in troughs so that the ducks might eat
but not muss it with their feet, so l
arranged a framework of laths over
the trough with only space enough to
admit the head and neck of the fowls.
Meat scraps broiled and raw may be
given ducks that are not allowed free
dom occasionally. And I also advise a
pail of cracked oyster shells being kept
in a convenient place for them to go to.
Watch the markets and rush your
young ducks in for boilers when about
lime weeks Old. Do not take your poul-
try to the market when it is over
crowded, but when prices are up and
the dealers have but a few on hand.
Followed with care and judgment,
there is no reason why one may not
derive a great deal of pleasure as we'll
as profit from an individual duck
ranch. AS the business grows the man
ayers experience increases, and mis-
takes become more rare, and in addi-
ton to this the profit increases accord
ingly. An Ohio Farmwife, in The
Epitomist.

The best time to SOW clover is after
the snow has gone off and the ground
has frozen just enough to cause the
surface to become rough and honey
combed. Seed scattered on such a sur
face will naturally find the lowest
places or fall to the bottom of the cell
like crevices, and when a thaw comes,
be so deeply covered that none will
grow until spring weather has really
arrived. The stand will therefore be
even, whereas if the seed were sown on
the snow, the o may go off quickly
OF with a rain and carry much of the
seed to the low places, there to grow
in great punches. On clay loans, or
soils that will freeze apart, is where
this method of seeding should be prac-
ticed. The sowing should cease, how
ever, the moment the ground begins
to thaw, as the seed will then stick to
The ground wherever it falls and fail
to get sufficiently covered up. Seeding
after a rain, when the surface is
smooth and packed, is likewise unad-
visable. And what if the proper con
ditions by freezing are not brought
about? In that case one should wait
until the wind and sun later in the
spring cause the ground to crack al
most as much as it does from freezing.
Medium red clover is preferable for
general purposes, four quarts of seed
per acre suficing where the ground is
in good condition and fertile, while
from five to six quarts are none too
much if it is somewhat thin. 1t may
be seeded with either rye, wheat or
barley. If with the last named, the
ground should be plowed in the fall
to insure a firm seed bed; this will
hold moisture better, and the young
clover plants, in consequence, not be
liable to suffer so much from drouth.
Indeed, barley is thus most excellent
to seed with, the straw, which grows
short and thin, not shading the ground
so much as some other grains do. Take
bats, for instance. While clover will
readily GENE up among them and start
we'll, ultimately it is more or less re-
tarded by the growth Of the straw and
the ripening of the grain, and often the
oats are so heavy that it is entirely
smothered out. Hence the reason why
some farmers fail to get a good stand
of clover.-Fred o. Sibley, in The
Epitonist.
