Ducks OH the Farm,

1t will pay to add ducks to the
poultry department of every farm
Nothing was ever known to grow so
fast and cause so little worry and
work as ducks. Everything is "grist"
that comes their way. They consume
vast quantities of coarse foods and
convert it rapidly into flesh and
money. They are independent of the
caretaker except so far as food Is
concerned. When they have grown
to be two or three weeks old, they
even provide the greater part of their
own food by hunting for it. They are
the happiest, brightest and most in
dependent things on the farm. They
require house or houses of their
own, plenty of water to drink and
puddle their bills in, and grit in
some form. Their houses should be
sprinkled we'll with sand or dry lit
ter, and swept out every day.
If one has many Of them, park
of their own fenced off with poultry
netting is best for all concerned, for
they are always getting into the
drinking water set out for the hens
and chicks. A large park need not
be very expensive. Low netting
answers every purpose, unless you
wish to keep every hen out of their
yards, and that is really best, for
hens and ducks do better il kept
Separate, but for the sake of clean
illness and comfort it would be better
to have the ducks by themselves

Necessity of Ideals.

1t Is absolutely necessary for us to
have ideals. If we have none, then
we will sink to the level of the beasts
OF the field. We will go through life
as dumb driven cattle and not as
heroes with the light of God shining
In our faces. II we wish worthily to
achieve our destiny, then there must
ever be before us "the vision splen.
did. Our religion as the highest of
ideals beckons us upward and bids
us go forward and practice what we
believe in daily life and duty.-Rev.

No 1907 Dollars.

A clerk at the Bingham House who
has been blessed with a boy baby du-
ring the last year wanted among
other little gifts, to give his young
hopeful silver dollar marked 1907"
which could be suspended about his
neck on string and used to help
cnt the little teeth which were begin
ming to show signs of appearing. He
inquired among all his friends for a
1907" silver dollar and it was not
until he had been on the vain search
sfor nearly week that some one told
him the call at the mint, and there
he received official information that
under advices from Washington they
had not coined any silver dollars

The Horse and the Food Supply.

The suppression of the horse, by
reason of the use of mechanically
propelled vehicles foS transportation,
is expected to be practically COM
plete in the cities of the United
States by 1930-that is to say, by
the time young Americans born next
year are old enough to vote. The
only employment for horses by that
time, it is calculated, will be. in the
labors of the farm.
One of the results of this phase of
evolution will be the simplifying of
the problem of keeping the streets of
cities clean. There will be less dust,
and fewer flies. This is a direction
in which physicians look for sanitary
gains. Another effect of the elimi-
nation of the horse is suggested by
correspondent of New York news
paper. He estimates that at the
present time there are 20,000,O0O
horses in the United States, and that
S0,000,000 acres of good land are
cultivated for the purpose of sus-
tanning them. Fifty million of these
acres, he figures, will be released
from this use by 1880, and will be-
come available for growing food for
human beings. If sown to wheat these
acres might be made to add a billion
bushels annually to the wheat crop
an amount considerably in excess
of the present annual wheat harvest
of the United States.
Statistics, in some hands, assume
the aspect of an exceedingly cheerful
science. In the present instance it
makes a suggestion which should 60
far to allay the fears of those who
are apprehensive regarding the pros
poets of continuance of the food
supply in view of the rapid increase
OF population in the United States.

1t was asserted that the best authori-
