tARLY DUCKS FOR MARKET. The Duckling at Ten Week* la Ready For Market. Perhaps the most notable departure In the poultry business of late years is the hatching of ducks with incubators, fattening the young birds as rapidly as possible, and shipping them early to market. The duckling at ten weeks weighs four to five pounds and sells at a fancy prit'fe in a quick market for more than a six months' bird will command in the glutted market of autumn, to say nothing of the cost of keeping. The early spring chicken costs here fully eight cents per pound to produce, and requires twenty weeks to attain the weight that the duck gains in ten weeks under the system adopted. The Pekin duck is the favorite, making the greatest gain In flesh in the

Bee-Keeping > Science.
Bee-keeping combines science and art as do few manual labor pursuits. The progressive bee-keeper must understand the natural history of bees, aud, therefore, he must be a student and a thinker. He must use constantly hi’ best mental faculties as well as trawa. Thought and study, when combined with physical effort, bring real satisfaction and insure enthusiasm. Thus the bee-keeper is a student and an enthusiast, and Js mentally very wide awake. He is prepared to lay hold of new and better methods, whlcn are sure to be suggested to the man ( who Is mentally alert, to see all there | Is in and about his business that will I help him to a higher position. This 1 explains the fact that hardly a year .
goes by without some new method or I Purposes. device which Is fairly revolutionary In I o— Us influence on bee-keeping practice. Benjamin Swahlen

Handling In carload lots is not so necessary in the raise of extracted honey, but in order to get the same returns on tile capital and labor invested it must be produced in greater quantities, which requires larger equipment and more extensive preparation. For instance, when comb honey ranges from 12 to 15 cents and extracts from 5 to 8 cents, the extracted honey producer must have enough more colonies and better averages to make up the difference in price

shortest time on the young duckling, and giving the earliest eggs in the season as well as the greatest number per year. On Maple Karra the breed has been grown for generations in dry yards, with no water to exercise In, and they seem to have lost all desire for swimming. The only water they see is what they drink When confined in yards and well fed they do quite as well, If not better, than when they have the liberty of the farm. In winter as well as in summer the duck stands confinement better than the chick.
CARE OF BEES IN WINTER.
Dry Cellar of Equal Temperature, Honey Natural and Beet Food. During the winter the bees are huddled close together in a compact cluster, the interior of whicn is at a normal temperature, while the spaoe out. side of it may be even below freezing. As the season advances, and the weather gets warmer, the cluster expands itself, brood-rearing begins, honey is brought In, but all the work done Is only Inside of the cluster, as the temperature is too low outside of it to admit of anything to be done. As the weather gets warmer the cluster develops and completely fills the
hive.
It is a mistake to winter bees on sugar syrup, or anything but honey, except in an extremity—not because the bees will not winter on syrup, but for other reasons. Honey is the natural, and therefore the best food. The work of storing the liquid, curing and capping it in the fall, when the bees ought to be quiet, shortens their lives; in nine cases out of ten a good deal of the syrup will he left uncapped in the bottoms of the frames, and will absorb moisture and deteriorate. There probably Is no better place to winter bees than in a good, dry cellar: and If the beginner has such a cellar; I would advise hm to put his bees in it for wintering. While this is not absolutely necessary for safe wintering, yet there will lie a great saving of honey to the apiarist, as well as better chances for successful wintering. If the cellar has a variable temperature It will not be as good for the bees ns would one In which the temperature could he kept as nearly at 45 degrees as possible. If the cellar Is of too variable temperature, the bees doubtless would he better out of doors. There are many ways of fixing the hives, hut doubtless the cheapest plan is to leave on the hivecovers. sealed down tight, but. with the bottom-boards entirely removed The Ilrst tier of hives should tie set eight inches apart, and the next tier be sot In top of these, and directly over the space between each two hives: the next in the same way on top of these, until as high as wanted. Y r, HERMAN. Methods of Fattening Chickens. The relative merits of fattening chickens in pens and crates was studied with 4 lots of 0 chickens each, la the case of the 2 lots fed in pens the average gain per chicken In the 4 weeks covered by the test was 1 th. 9.33 oz. ami 2 Ilis. 4.5 oz., the cost of a pound of grain being 6.7 eta. and 5 3 cts., respectively. In the case of the lots fed in crates the average gain per chicken was 1 lb. 9 60 oz. and 2 lbs. 2 33 oz., the cost of a pound of gain being 6 2 cts ami 6 6 cts. The proportion of edible and nonedible portions in the dressed chickens was recorded in both cases, the proportion of dressed carcass being the larger in the case of the chickens fed in crates, while the flesh of the pen-fed birds, it is stated, was slightly the yellower.—Canada Expt.
Farm Rpts.
Dyspepsia In Cattle. When dyspepsia becomes chronic the appetite Is Irregular and Is depraved. That Is, the animal licks walls, stones or anything with which It comes in contact and takes up dirty straw and filth of any kind. The coat begins to stare and the animal has a dull, dejected appearance. There should be cleanliness in surroundings, pure drinking water, bathing In warm water and rubbing and currying to promote healthy action and give, in morning and evening, two drams of carbonate of soda, half an ounce of ■ulphur and half an ounce of gentian.
A forest Arc that started In the brush along Niggervtlle creek in a wild section of Northern California burned over a large area. Before forest service guards could get the fire under control a tiny cabin that lay in their path was burned, its tenants, a mother and her five children. Including a week-old baby, barely escaping
with their lives.
An Indian forest guard discovered tracks leading away from the point where the Are originated. The trail was a very dim one. its maker having taken the precaution to step each time on unimpressionable stone, but the keen-eyed Indian succeeded In following it for two miles, finding that it turned at last and led toward the | cabin of Charles McBurna, a miner. J The following day. Charles Brereton, a special Inspector of the Government forest service, arrived. Going over the rail that the Indian guard had found, he discovered two places where the feet of the supposed In cendlary had slipped off the stones into the soft ground. Blester casts of these tracks disclosed that whoever made them hud worn screwcalks on his boots Now, such calks were seldom worn In that country but as MeBurns was known to have been a log ger before he became a prospector the discovery seemed to Confirm the finding of the Indian guard. Accordingly, McBurn's cabin was raided and a pair of screw-calked boots was found in it. The miner, a physical giant, was violently angry when they arrested him and his friends threatened to make consider able trouble for the forest service men. Nevertheless, they went fear lessly ahead with the case At first McRurns flatly denied that he had visited Niggervllle creek in months but under a grueling cross examination he admitted that he and another man a short time before had killed a spike buck there. As thiz was ai offense against the law. ho i said, he had kept it bark, being (inwilling to get his “partner” into any
trouble.
This story was questioned and when Ilrereton challenged him to show the offal of the deer McBurns took him on a whole-day journey int* the woods The inspector realized he was taking a big chanr* and kept his eyes open to guard against any trickery. No traces of a buck having been klili I and dressed were found. In the trial before a federal judge it was brought out that McBurns had quarreled with his mining partner over the division of some gold from their diggings. This, it seems, had rankled In his mind for months. Om day, when the partner had hired a team to haul wood from a forest ranch to the mine McBurns had vow ed that he would keep the team at laime Accordingly ho started the lire nt Niggervllle creek. lie was convicted and se fenced to serve six months in a federal pHson pay a line
