There am many varieties of ducks,
but the common gray ilituk is about m
profitable as any. They are good lay
ers and tho young maturo early, and
aro fit for market by mid summer,
when thoy bring good prices. A duck
will lay from 11 to 1G eggs when she
will sit. Tho period of incubation va
ries from 20 to 28 days, accordiug to
tho weather and the steadiness of the
sitter. Duuklings are not hardy in
deed, I think thoy aro more delicate
than our common chickens, until fully
feathered. Tho growth of yo'ing ducks
Is very rapid whero thoy aro well fed,
in which case they are quiet, and aro
littlo troublo if given a place of resort
whoro thoy can do no mischief. Thoy
are mischievous if allowed access to tho
garden, as thoy will destroy tho young
vegetables. If given a placo by them
selves, with a shallow trough of water
to batho in, ronowed dally thoy will
give no troublo when well fed. Tho
mother will lay two, and whero well
kept, thrco clutches of eggs, which
may bo put under hens, if it be desir
ed to keep tho ducks in laying, which
thoy will do if well fed, and alao moth
er tho ducks of tho first hatching.
Ducklings that aro raided by their nat
ural mother are the more profitable as
she leads thorn in ways agreeable to
tho instincts of their nature.
Ducks' eggs always command hicih
prices in tho market and aro valuable
for home use. Ducks do not pine in
confinement but take to their quarters
naturally, providing that they are fur
nished with food and water regularly.
Tho feathers of ducks are worth more
than thoHO of tho turkey or fowl. When
given full run of all the premises they,
as well as other fowls, become) a nui
sance. There is no need of it. Duck
lings should bo fed much the same as
young chickens, and like them are fond
of green food. Country Gentleman.
The Culture of the Potato.
As long ag we can remember experi
menting has been going on in the cul
ture of the potato, and yet nothing has
beon brougot to light which has been
shown to bo an improvement on the
old way of growing this indispensable
vegetable. It is true that now and
then some one will claim supcrioiity
for tho planting of tho whole potato or
for dut pieces ; or it may bo for deep
planting j or for large potatoes or small
potatoes i for old rotted manure or long
strawy stuff ; or tho placing the seed a
foot apart in rows, or three or four feet
apurt in hills, like tho planting of corn;
but it is rare that any one continues on
in any of these methods for any length
of time. Frequently it is stated that
aorao one has realized enormous profits
by pursuing one or another of theso
new plans but for sorqo reason that
must be satisfactory to himself he falls
back to the way of his father again and
finds none better. Wo do not pretend
to dispute tho accuracy of tho state
ments of any of theso so-called various
ways claimed to be improvements, and
they may have been exactly as thoy
were represented ; still, wo believe that
as a rule,r there is no better way to
grow tho potato than to take a piece of
worn out sod land, and after putting on
it a good dressing of half rotted stable
manure, plow it down over tho potato
seta about three or four inches deep
the sets being about from twelve to fif
teen inches apart and the rows about
thirty inches. As for tho size of the
sets or pieces wo do not think that it
is nearly of so much consequence as
tho condition of tho soil j for, after the
plant has once loft the parent root it
has to depend wholly upon the soil for
its sustenanco ; hence tho better adapt
ed that is to tho nature of the tuber, as
to tho instance of sod, the better will
be tho yield and tho quality of the
product; As to tho seed, perhaps ono
largo piece is netter thau a whole pota
to, as there will bo a less number of
sprouts ; but even this is in a measure
not altogether reliable, as many grow-
uru insist mat uiey nave nau just as
good a crops from small potatoes as
irom cut pieces ot large ones, in sptto
of the supposed objection to tho
sprouts. Germantoion Telegraph.
The Origin of Mosquitoes.
Tho Indians havo a very satisfactory
account oi ine origin ot the Jlontezu
ma mosquitoes. Tho lecend runs
thus ; There was in times of old, many
moons ago, two huge leathered mon
sters permitted by the Manitou to do
scond from the sky and alight on tho
banks of the Seneca River. Their form
was exactly that of a mosnuito. Thcv
were so large that they darkened the
sun liko a cloud as they Hew toward
tho earth. Slandinrr nun nil ii
they guaulfd the river, and stretching
their long necks into the o.iuoes of the
Indians, as they attempted to paddle
along the stream, gobbled them up, as
viiu dvuiiw aiiiu in uju tuuiu gouuieu up
tho frogs. Tho destruction of life was
so great that not an Indian could pass

there will he certain ehara 'terislics,
whiclrmark tho individuil ai descend
ing from certain uneesiois. Too often,
ludeod, these characteristics aio infir
mities, and often of a physiclal na
ture. Theso facts wore strikingly brought
out during a couvesratiou, which a re
presentative of this paper recently had
with Mrs. Carrie D. T. Swift, who is
the wife of ono of our most prominent
citizens. This lady related that she in
herited from her parents certain ten
dencies, over which she hail no control
and which were in the nature of
blood difliculticii, assuming the form
of rheumatism. Her experience cn
best bo described in her own words. To
tho writer alio said :
"I felt tho beginuiug of this heredi
tary taint many years ago, in vaguo
pains, which seemed to come unac
countably and at uncalled for times.
Thoy were annoying, exhausting, and
interfered not only with my dutie-i, but
also totally destroyed my happiness.
At first, they would bo only transient,
appearing for a day or two, and then
disappearing ; then again they would
come in such violent forms, that it was
impossible for me to lift a cup to ray
mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands
swelled bo that it was impossible for
me to draw on my shoes or gloves
without the greatest effort. I realized
what tho difficulty was, but seemed
powerless to avert it. I finally became
so bad that 1 wasconfiued to the house
and to my bed most of the time. My
joints pained mo continuously aud my
teet swelled to enormous proportions.
Knowing that I inherited this tenden
cy, I had about abandoned hope, when
1 began the use of a remedy, which
was recommended to mo as a friend as
being Hpcciully ttlioieiit in cases ot a
similar kind. To my great gratitude, I
found that it relieved me, restored my
appetite, and I am able to say that now
I have gained forty pounds in weight,
feel perltctly well and am in the best
possible condition, owing, wholly, to
Warner's Safe Rheumatic cure, which
was the remedy I used.1'
"No one would ever suspect you
had suffered so Mrs. Swift, to "soo
you now," remarked tho reporter.
"That is what all my friends say.
Only yesterday ; an acquaintance ol
miue, whom I had not seen for some
time, hesitated, befoie speaking, aud
apologized by saying, "Why I really
did not know you, you havo changed
for tho better since I last met you, how
well you do look."
"Have you any objection to giving
tho namo of the party who first men
tioned this remedy to you t"
"Not the slightest- It was Mr. R. H.
Fnrman, tbo photographer.''
Tho newspaper man, after bidding
Mrs. Swift good-bye, repaired to the
photographic rooms of Mr. I' urman,
when the following conversation ensu
ed ;
"Have you been a sufferer from rheu
matism, Mr. Furman 1"
"Well, I should think 1 had."
"For how many years V
"Twelve or fifteen."
"Did you try to cure it t"
"Yes, I tried everything, and, at last,
went tho to Hot Springs of Arkansas,
and nothing seemed to do mo any good
until I tried Warner's Safe Rheumatic
Cure."
"And it cured you, did it?"
"Yes, completely."
"And you can cordially recommend
it t" r
"Yes, indeed moro cordially than
anything I have over known of. It is
simply a wonderful medicine. I believe
that two-thirds of all cases, both acute
and chronic, could bo cured as I was
cured by tho use of this remedy. In
fact I know a number of persons who
have been in the worst possible condi
tion, aud aro now completely well whol
ly through its use."
Tho statements abovo made are from
sources, the authority of whioh cannot
be questioned. Thoy conclusively
provo tho value of the preparation
named and show that oven hereditary
traits can bo removed by tho use of
the proper means.

then watching the actions of the taller

In the samo way the poople of this

But a few years aco the anthracite

individual operators. To-day, a few
monster railroad companies control all
this vast interest aud aro now almost a
law unto themselves. Backed by mil
lions of capital they have gobbled up
tho most valuablo ooal lands, forcing
the private operator out of tho field by
crippling his operation through tho co

him to sell out at their own terms to
savo himself from bankruptcy. And
thoy stopped not here; the owner of ev

romovo from tho region. This is no
overdrawn picture, but stern reality, as

All this might have been prevented

Mr. Hoe with his great experience and
keen insight, should not have Btopped
at this prediction. He should have
said, "and I'll tell you what's a fact,
iype setting and writing will eventual
ly fall into disuse. Every newspaper
cfiice will bo supplied with several pho
tographers. Tho editors will sit around
thinking, and when one of them frames
an idea to suit him, he'll pop his finger
like a boy attracting tbo attention of

around and turn on the light. A mo

bossed on celluloid. The plate will
then be passed to the managing editor,
who will mako all necessary corrections
and mark it approved. When enough
matter, or everything of current impor
tance, has been photographed, the
plates will bo arranged in suitable form,
when a largo camera acting as a press,
will work off an edition of the paper,
say ono hundred thousand copies in

That's a common expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
tilings. May be caused by
kidn y disease, liver com
plaint, consumption, cold,
noi vous debility, &c.
hatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Bkown's Ikon Hitters, and
it docs this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing the blood pure and rich.
I-ogatuport, Ind. Dec. i, iSSo.
Tor a long lime I have been a
luJcrer frora ttomach and kidney
disease. M y appetite was very poor
ft.ij the ery tmall amount I did eat
tlis.icrerU i.h me, 1 was annoyed
very much from non.retention of
urine. 1 tried many remedies with
no iucceii, until I used Ilrown't
Iron Hitters. Since I uied that tny
stomach does not bother me any.
Myappctitclsilmplylmmense. My
Lldncy trouble is no more, anl my
rtncr.il health is such, that I feci
like a new man After the use of
lhown's Iron Haters for one month,
I l..ie coined twenty pounds In

Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recom
mend Bkown's Ikon Bit
Tints. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.
