The difficulty with all attempts to milk by machine power is that the at tempt is made to imitate the sucking of a calf. The motion of the hand in milking is very different, and it cannof well be reproduced in any machine. Gows allowed to suckle their calves quickly go dry. The whole secret of modern dairy success is in prolonging the natural flow of milk much beyond vrLnt would be the fact if the calf did the milking.—[Courier-Journal. DRESSING DUCKS FOR MARKET. Growers of ducks as well as house keeper? will be interested in tho fol lowing from two correspondents of tho Cackler: A ou ask for an easy way to dress clucks. Immerse in scalding wafer and shake well into the feathers; remove and wrap in a flannel cloth so the steam cannot escape; let it lay about ten minutes, and you can remove the down with the leathers. My method of dressing is to pick the feathers dry, then immerse the duck in hot water and roll in blanket for live or ten minutes, when the down will come off nicely. now TO CONTROL THE FLOCK. Upon the ordinary farm, 6aya the Germantown Telegraph, where sheep are kept, but in limited numbers and without shepherd, it is of considerable importance to be able to control the flock. This is very successfully done by taking a ewe lamb and bringing it U P b >’ bancb Always exercise kind ness toward it, give it a name and teach it to come at the call of ifs name by giving it a few kernels of grain of some kind or some food that it is par ticularly fond of. When grown turn it with ihe flock, and when they are wanted a call of the cosset by name will bring it, and the rest of the flock will follow. This is a peculiarity of sheep; when one starts all the rest will follow, no matter in what direc tion they go, so if one is taught to come at call the others will follow, and this 6aves the trouble of trying to teach the entire flock, and will be the means of saving many steps. WOMEN IN THE APIABT. At the recent convention of Ohio bce-kcepers the question of women’s help in apiaries was discussed. The gist of the opinions expressed are here given. Dr. Mason would rather not have the Avomeu around, while F. A. Eaton cannot get along without the help of his wife, and she will do the work up in better shape than he can. While he is doing the heavy work lm wife puts foundations in sections, and does a great deal of other light work. II. F. Moore finds that women are the best hands to keep things in order. Dr. Mason (in reply) knows that women are a wonderful help, but, to be serious about it, many men are killing their wives to keep from hir ing-, and he thought too much of his wife for that—except, perhaps, at swarming time. Dr. Miller said that if he goes out to the apiary without the women he cannot find anything, and when he wants to go home all the tools arc scattered around the yard. Women straighten things up better than men d>>, and keep them in better shape.— [New York Witness. A CROP FOR MARSHES. It will pay well to improve marshes, lowlands, ponds and streams of water that have mud bottoms by sowing with wiki duck’s rice (Zizania aquatiea, Indian rice, water oats.) It is a 1 an nual, nv i 11 spread all over marshland, and does not freeze or die out. llorscs and cattle will eat its luxuriant growth of leaves as freely as young sugar corn, and it is excellent for fattening stock of all kinds, fed either green or cured. The seed is absolutely sure to grow, flourish a id return a generous, heavy yield, and is always a sure for age crop. No plant yields so heavily, lo abundantly, so easily, so surely, so continually, as wild duck's rice. Wild rice also does well in ponds and streams. It should be planted in August or September, broadcast from the shores, or from n boat in ono to eight feet of water having a mud bot tom. It glows very rapidly. As an attraction for wild fowl it cannot be equalled. A friend writes: “It brought me more good meals on the table thau if I had butchered my fat test calf.” WiW ducks are very fond of wild riee, and an acre of it will af ford attraction and food for thousands of them during the autumn months. They can easily be caught in the tall wild rice stalks. In large ponds and lakes it purifies the water and affords refuge for small fry, with plenty of food from the nnimalc-.ilie upon its stalks. For planting in fishponds, it is especially desirable; the stalks in the water are continually sought by fishes.— [Farmers’ Review. A WORD TOR THE GUINEA FOWL. The Guinea fowl, which, from its ordinary habits and the quarrelsome nature of the male bird, is, as a rule nnpopular, lias an advocate in a New England woman, who, writing in the Poultry Journal, has the following tc say in its favor: “A flock of Guinea fowls is a great adjunct to the farm. They make the best sort of watchmen, and never fai: to notify the farmer of night thieves or poultry stealers. There is a profit in Guinea fowls, too, considering the small amount of care and expense at. tached to keeping them. As a rule, the Guineas prefer to pick up most ol their living, and they should have a large place over which to range. It is necessary lo feed them a little every day, otherwise they Avill wander away from the farm and take up their head •quarters elsewhere. ‘‘They will not scratch up seeds planted in the garden, but they do eat a great number of grass seeds, as well as those of Undesirable plants. They consume an enormous amount of grubs and insects, however, which is a great p<*nt in their favor. Without any special fattening they become plump and heavy at tho season of the year when game goes out of the market. They are generally killed for market between February and April. They bring fair prices at such seasons of the year, and often return big profits to the grower. The Guineas always steal their nests in the nearest hedge or woods, and in laying-time it is neces sary to look pretty carefully to find them.” FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Save all the corn and stalks this year. Strong lyc clcaus tainted pork bar rels. Keep both stock and farm on the gain. Fill the silo as rapidly as possible in the latest order. Calves as well a9 colts should be taught to lead while young. Push the lambs now for growth and fat before the frost comes. Perfect drainage is indispensable for health and profitable farming. Don’t forget to have salt where all the stock can have free access to it. The overdraw check is cruel. Bet ter sacrifice “style” than your fine feelings. We are learning that many dairy theories once thought tenable will not hold water. The western farmer can increase his stock with more clover to mix with the corn 6talks. Clover is the besl for growing ani mals. Begin to cull out and fatten all of the unprofitable cattle and sheep. The feet of tout seldom receive tho care and inspection so necessary to their future perfection and sound* ness. Scientists hare said that ensilage is a good cow feed, and they agree with the verdict of the farmers and the cows. Ensilage is a good feed, but all en silage is not alike; it is not yet known what all the conditions are that insure success iu titling tho silt). Wo are learning something new about it every year, and it seems to be the general opinion that the silo will become a necessity to tho stockman. We are gaining iu daily science, and from what we now know can make some estimate of tho immen^o number of things we do not know.
