White AyIesbury DncISs.

The soft waite plumage Is one of the
chief attractions Of the Aylesbury
breed, and like most white plumage
has tendency to assume yellow hue
If exposed to the sun. The beak will
also lose its delicate pink hue and be-
come yellow If exposed to too much
sunlight Ia summer The bill OF tho
Pekin should be yellow, but the bill Of
the Aylesbury should be n delicate
pink or flesh-color, and birds intended
for exhibition must possess this quail
ity or they will suffer at the hands of
the judge. Birds raised for exhibition
purposes must be guarded against too
much exposure to the sunlight in the
summer. or course, these delicate
points are Of no consequence to the
market poulterer other than to show
the true type Of the breed.
For farm purposes the Aylesbury Is
to be recommended, second only to the
Pekln; it possesses the many good
qualities of the Pekin, and can be bred
with almost the same success. The ad-
vantages claimed for Aylesbury are the
ease with which 1t Is acclimated, thriv-
ing In every country and climate; its
early maturity its great hardness Its
large size; its great prollhcacy, and
the real beauty which it possesses.

Fortunate Farmer.

From the annual report Of the Sec
retary OF Agriculture, 1t appears that
farm crops In the United States have
never before been harvested at such
high general level Of production and
value as during the present year. Corn
has reached Its highest production,
over 2,700,0OO,O0O bushels of total
estimated value Of $l,216,00000O. Hay
comes second, with value of $685.
100000; cotton is expected to yield
$575,00O, 600; and as to wheat, the short
crop Of last year is followed by a crop
of GS4,0O0,000 bushels, the value Of
which, $525, 100000, is larger than was
ever before reached. 1t Is interesting
to notice that the estimated value of
milk and butter $G65, 100000, was
larger than the value of any crop ex-
cept corn, and that the product Of eggs
was valued at only $5,000,000 less than
the large wheat crop.

CHAPTER XXVU.

The expires tram was hurrying north
wards on the Great Northern line. The
pace was terrific; fields, villages, towns
even flew by at lightning speed, for
the train was best of the day. and there
were but few stoppages between London
and York. No one was ever heard to
complain of the speed of this particular
train before; and yet, to-day, there was
passenger in frst-class carriage, who
seemed scarcely to sit still, so great was
his irritation at the few brief and nee
essary stoppages, and so terrible was
his impatience to be at his journeys end
1.-Two minutes lost in the last half
hour" he muttered angrily
They will make it up in the next"
answered his companion soothingly.
ITO think of the days that have been
wasted! If | had only never gone out
again to the cursed Riviera-and now
may be too late!'
1--WE must hope for the best" answer
ed his friend, but he, too, looked anx-
ious and troubled.
In the further corner of the same car
rage where sat the two cousins was
gentleman, who now and then cast fur
tive glances at them from behind his
newspaper.
Some little discussion having arisen
previously, concerning the opening and
shutting of the windows, this gentleman,
after the train had passed York and got
upon the branch line, where the stop
pages were frequent, and no doubt most
irritating, took an opportunity of address
ing himself to Edgar Raikes, who sat
nearest to him.
"You are perhaps acquainted with this
part of the country, sirT
Edgar replied that he knew 1t very
well indeed. The stranger was an i'm
mensely tall man, of rough exterior; he
wore huge red beard and was bronzed
and battered in appearance, like man
who had led a life of much exposure to
every sort of climate.
Perhaps, then" he continued, "you
can kindly inform me what sort of place
is Smackton-on-SeaW

Raikes.

Raisers recommend for raising exhlbl.
tion birds one drake to two ducks, or
two brakes to five ducks, all being al
lowed to run together. Duck raisers
who raise large numbers for market
breed them as they do Pekins, using
from four to eight females to one
male, according to the season Of tho
year. Fresh blood is introduced every
year to keep up the size, and breeding
stock is seldom kept longer than the
second or third year.-Exchange

MnstIng Feed.

A large proportion of the hay and
FODDER produced on farms is stacked,
but hay stored in the barn will keep
IN much better condition than when
stored In stacks. 1t is almost impos-
stDle to escape loss when it Is exposed
In stacks. Damaged hay will be vast
ed by the animals, and there is an ad-
ditional loss in quantity by exposure
that may not occur in the NOW. 1t Is
better to sell the hay that cannot be
stored In the NOW than to accept risk
of the weather.
Fodder can be as truly wasted when
put In the stomach as when trodden
under foot Unhoused cattle have
continuous battle for comfort, and all
consumption Of food shows no result,
Tor the reason that 1t is used wholly
In Keeping life. Moreover, they are
stuunted by their stay at this un-
thrifty stage, and will never show as
good results afterward.

1t has been concluded at the Wis
consin experiment station that 1t Is i'm.
practicable to raise young pigs on an
exclusive corn ration. "The feeding
trial made dwarfed animals out of
every pig in lot 1, fed exclusively on
corn. While they gained some In
flesh, they did not develop in bone,
and as time went on their vitality de-
creased. The hair on their bodies be-
came thin and their skin hard and
scaly. Toward the end Of the trial
they were Indifferent about eating and
showed considerable uneaslness."

When a COW ''loses the cud," or,
more correctly, fails to "chew the
cud," 1t Is not because she has lost
any definite object or material, which,
If she still retained, would be used as
a "cud," for all such necessary ma
terial lies useless in her paunch. Her
failure to chew the cud Is due to Ill
health, just as lack Of any desire for
food characterizes sick man. A COW
that fails to chew the cud Is sick
COW, and as soon as she RECEIVERS from
that sickness she will recover her de-
sire and ability to chew the cud.
