Now, the nnturallcts would say that ducks, ow ing to their habit, have no neod to smoll, nnd hence cannot. This rule Is not Infallible, but generally holds good. Any wild thing with such eyes as ducks bavo does not need to smell. Nature seems to have given birds a discerning nose. A fox will look straight at a man nnd not seo him, even when only a few feet away, pro vided he docs not smell him or tho man does not move.

TWO OLD FOES NOW FRIENDS. Tho ending, of tho old enmity of France nnd England is doubtless the most romarkablo burial of the hatchet recorded In history. In tho courso of tholr rivalry these lnveterato foes, from tho tlmo of tho Conquest to tho French Revolution, fought twenty wars. In Iho Bonaparte campaigns they suffered a loss of 1,900.000 lives In battle, camp and hospital and a wnsto of money oxcecdlng six billions of dollars. For tho twonty-threo years of tho Bonaparto wars tho annual doathrato'of tho British army was 67,000, of whom 7,000 were killed In action. Now It Is all over, at least until tho noxt quarrel. France, In M. Pellotan's words, "no longer dreams of con quest." Hor victories henceforth will bo thoso of peace. Tho Bacrlflce of men and money by theso nations In their disputes is probably unexampled in extent. It points tho obvious moral of war's barbarity and waste.

Guineas on tho farm aro a very profitable fowl as they bavo to bo fed only when tho ground is covered with snow. They Bavo many chickens dur ing summer and fall when chickens go to fields for bugs, worms and grasshoppers, as they always aro first to seo a hawk If ono is In sight, and they will sot up a terrlblo yell. Tho chickens soon learn what is up nnd will como flying to tho barn for safe ty. I never knew ot a hawk killing a guinea or their young. In tho cold est weather thoy roost with tho hens but In mild weather they profor the trees. Thoy have a way of telling when a cold wavo Is coming, as they will go tor tho hen houso for lodg ing. If thoro is any strange animal prowling around In the night they mako a great fuss. As chfekens are leaving tho trees and coops In sum mer and fall at daylight' hawks put in their nppoaranco for their break fast and I have shot many from tho guineas warning me. They do not have to bo kept scparato from tho fowls nor do they bother tho hens as do tho pearl guineas (colored). Thoy arc oxcollent for tho tablo as their meat Is gamoy but not dark. They lay from May till September. Their eggs aro Bmallcr than hca eggs, but bring tho same in market. Guinea eggs should bo hatched under, hens as guineas aro a llttlo to fast for tho little ones to keep up with. When hatched with hens coop the hen for a few days and mako a crate so they can't wander away, as they will If not so fixed; but In a few days tho hen can be let out and will ralso them providing they are not killed by rats or other animals. Food them Just tho sumo as chickens. A good sized hen will cover about 20 eggs and 28 days is tho time for Incuba tion. Thoy do not like to bavo their eggs taken from the nest but should bo Beon to every day and whon they commence to sit should bo broken up. In a few days they will go at It again, and will lay about 90 eggs each during thq summer. C. A. Knight. Huron Co., Ohio. Raising Young Chicks. This year I will raise only about two hundred chicks, so will do all my batching with hens. I leave all tho chicks under tho hen until she is through patching and until thoy aro all dry. This gives them a good start, as a chick to bo strong must not bo chilled at this time. When the hen is through hatching I remove her to a dry coop and feed her well with whole corn. Then when tho chicks are thirty-six hours old I commence feeding them five times a day, giving them all thoy will eat up clean of hard boiled eggs mixed with stale bread crumbs, alternating with a feed of cracked oats. Feed this way for two weeks whon tho feod of oggs and crumbs is left off and a feed of small wheat, cracked oats, and millet 13 fed alternately. Small grit and fresh water or milk is kept before thorn at all times. After they aro weaned thoy aro put In colony houses scattered over a flve-acre patch. Each houBO has bins of beef scraps, ground bone, and a mixture of grains, includ ing hullod oats, cracked corn, barley, wheat and ryo when possible to ob tain all of them. These bins the chicks havo access to at all times. Just beforo roosting tlmo they are fed a mash containing oats 30 parts, barley 25 parts, ryo 15 parts, corn 15 parts, wheat 10 parts, oil meal 5 parts, all ground together and mois tened with water or Bklmmed milk. If the chicks aro kopt freo from llco they grow very rapidly when fed in this way, and tho feeding' Is dono with tho least possible labor. Fred B. Kelfer, Clark' Co., 111. Fowls for the Farmer. Most farmers are not fanciers and do not breed fowls to sell for breed ers to others. Only now and then do wo find a farmer that cares to handle a fancy breed becauso of tho plum age, or of tho ornamont they may bo to his lawn. Most farmers want the most useful fowl that can be found. Tho farmer in breeding should keep this point in mind and should not per mit himself to be persuaded to take up with somo high-priced breed of chiefly fancy points. If a farmer wants a fowl that ho can show and take a prlzo on let him remember that ho can do It just as well with com mon breeds, provided thoy aro pure, as with somo fancy breed of high color. But leaving out the question of shows, tho farmer should breed for somo utility point alone. Say it 13 egg production. Let him loso sight of all showing anu work to produce egg layers. Let him select continual ly the best layora for producers. Ac cording. to tho testimony of showmen ho will havo to say good-bye to his hopo for prizes. A noted exhibitor of birds declares that egg laying gets a bird so out ot shape that sho stands no chance whatever In a Bhow. Yet these are tho kind of birds the farmer wants. The most profitable egg pro ducing flocks In tho country havo beon selected in this way and they are not purchasable, as their owners can mako moro out of them In egg producing than in selling them for breeders. With all such flocks the question ot selection Is a large one. Culling must be carried on from year to year, and that too relentlessly. Only the weak have time to worry. Dairying In Mexico. Mr. Lesplnasse, tho United States consul'nt Tuxpan, Mexico, In a report to tho government, says: The old methods of milking, churning, and general manipulation of milk products aro still in existence hero, thereby rendering it Imposslblo to produce good butter. Cows are allowed to roam over tho grazing lands and aro rarely sheltered or given the least care. Tho milking process is per formed In tho most unskilled manner conceivable Tho cow la tied by the head, and tho operator proceeds to milk tho animal In his rough and un systematic manner until ho Anally forces a quart or two of Inferior milk from tho cow's udder. The mlllt Is placed In untidy wooden vessels nnd transferred to somo shed or outhouse, whero it Is allowed to remain unpro tected over night. Tho following morning tho cream Is Bklmmed and elthor beaten with a forked stick or violently agitated In a bottle until tho butter granules are formed. It Is then Indifferently washed and offered as butter. It quickly turn3 rancid. It sells at from 30 to 40 cents per pound United States money, nnd Is good nolther to look at nor to tnsto. Tho sour milk Is compressed In a coarse cloth, salted nnd allowed to dry for sovoral days. It is then an insipid, spongy mass, which sells for from 5 to 8 cents (U. S.) a cheese. Each of theso cheeses is round, about an Inch thick and about 8 Inches In dlam- oter. Thoy find a quick sale in this market. Such a thing as tho most simple, modern dairy appliance Is un known or at least not used. New eMat Preservative. A new meat curing process Is re ported from Germany, where Profes sor Emmerich claims to be able to 0)rcservo meat In a fresh condition by Injecting into tho veins of tho dead animal acetic ncid. Tho blood is first permitted to run out and then the acid is put in. It permeates tho flesh, so tho professor claims, and that pre vents nil decny nnd makes the use ot rofrigeratlon unnecessary. It is ob vious that if this process proves to bo all that is claimed for it, it will revo lutionize tho meat curing industry, as acetic acid is not an expensive pre servative. Tho reports say that meat so cured has been shipped from Ger many to South African ports and was found on arriving at its destination to bo of good quality and perfectly pre served. Our readers must remombor however that great things aro claimed for all new processes. Feeding the Bull. The feeding of tho bull Is a very Important matter, more so than the feeding of tho cow, for tho reason that tho bull is generally kept up all tho time. Under such an abnormal con dition ho becomes too fat if ho is fed a too largo ration of corn. It is better to feed him on a mixed grain ration, including oats, and to glvb him a rough feed rich In nitrogon rather than rich In carbon. Bran, which is comparatively low in car bon and high In nitrogon, should bo a part ot tho dally ration. For tho bull at least roots should be fed In considerable quantities, unless ho has an abundance of exercise, which most of our bulls do not got. If under a properly balanced ration tho bull be comes too fat it is indicative ot a lack of vigor, and such a bull should bo disposed ot and ono substituted that has tho vigor desired. Reject Decayed Food. Tho farmer Is sometimes tompt,ed to feed decayed or musty food to his poultry. It should nover bo done. Just what effect it might havo on the eggs produced by the fowls wo do not know, but It may have a very serious effect on the dlgestivo apparatus. We havo seen It urged not to feed such foods because they would glvo to tho eggs tho same taints they had them selves, but this may bo doubted. Ono writer tries to provo his caso by as sertlug that ontons fed to fowls pro duced the smell of onions In tho eggs. This may well bo true, as tho onion contains a very penetrating oil that will pass through tho systoms ot most animals. It will appear In tho egg of tho hen or tho milk of tho cow. But that does not apply to tho general run of foods. They should bo re jected, but rejected for the reason that they endanger the health of the birds. Green Manuring Crops. Thero aro many soils that are not benefited by green manuring crops. Such soils aro thoso already rich In nitrogon and In humus. An Investiga tion by tho University of Illinois has shown that on many of tho soils in Illinois an addition of humus and of nitrogen would be a posltlvo detri ment. This leads to tho remark that wo must havo a reason for overy farm oporation. Tho green manure crop Is needed on tho soil that is deficient In humus and nitrogen, but is labor lost on many other soils. It Is obvious that wo cannot lay down rules that can bo followed blindly on all farms. The green manuring crop Is valuable whero It is needed, but worthless or worse, whero It Is not needed. The intelligence of every farmer racist de termine tho necessity for each opera tion on tho farm. Many failures with incubators are due entirely to Ignorance In those try ing to run them, In this, as in every thing else, a person must learn how. Her "Famous Artist." During a recent exhibition ot pic tures In Burlington houBO, London, a lady noticed on two visits a strik ing man, whose faco sho remembered to have scon at previous exhibitions.

At this moment an Academician whom thoy know pass ed, and tho lady called attention to what sho thought must bo a flattor ing fanaticism.

Under the caption, "The Union Pa cific Railroad and Louisiana Terri tory," tho new World's Fair folder Is sued by tho advertising department of tho Union Pacific, which has attracted bucIi general attention, recites theso Interesting facts: "Whllo tho construction of tho Union Pacific Railroad, Its trials and triumphs, aro a part of tho history of tho United States, the Important part played by this railroad in tho develop ment of tho Louisiana Purchase can hardly bo estimated. In tho building up of this vast domain It has been one of tho chlof factors. Ono hundred years ago the popula tion of tho region was estimated at 20,000, Up to tho Inception of tho Union Pacific (In 1860) It had In creased to 3,233,529. Ill 1900 It num bered over 13,000,000 of Inhabitants. In this wonderful growth, with Its stu pendous Increase In all tho many-sided phases of commercial, material and Intellectual prosperity, tho Union Pa cific as a glance at the map will show has had a conspicuous share. It has opened vast regions of fertile country to settlers, and brought great areas of an raknown and unproduc tive wlldernoBS Into close communion with metropolitan centers and mar kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham lets, through its efforts, havo sprung up in overy direction. It may be of Interest to know that tho total number of manufacturing plants, and the value of their outputs, combined with that of tho national products as reported In tho census of 1900, glvo an aggregate production for tho Louisiana region of $3,500,000,000 annually, or 223 times the original pur chase price. Tho same census roports (1900) also show the total population to bo 13,343,255, ot which 8,303,096 In habitants are Hvlng in tho states and territories reached by the Union Pa cific. On tho 1900 census figures, it is estimated that the true wealth ot the Louisiana purchase can be stated at about $13,051,868,359. of which $9,360, 621,387 Is represented In the states reached by this great railroad."
