declaring this to be the most prof table
dack known.- This Is. due to the fact
that the production of eggs is their chief
object, table qualities being a second
ary coBElderatton. A-few particulars
with. regard to this variety will" be of
interest.
-Up to the present time iBformatioa
with regard to the origia bf the Indian
-Runner-has been very scant, and -even
how we cannot point' V any definite
particulars respecting them, nor wheth
er they are bred fa aay forelga coaatry.
Ia a small fcnwlmra lamed bf Hr. J.
Donald of Wlgtoa, Cumberland, it is
stated that about fifty years ago a. drake
and three ducks were Draught from In
.dla' to Whitehavea by a.sea capUin, but
as the term India, even today, aad to a
greater extent fifty years agp. may
mean aay place east ef the Cape of
.Good Hope, this does aef help us as to
the definite port of.' shipment, or purchase.-
I am not without hope that this
article may lead some readers in Asia
to make inquiries en the subject . Mr.
Donald -states that the same captain
-brought ever a further consignment a
few years later, hut that "they were not
known to their introducer by any special-or-distinctive
name, having simply
attracted his attention when ashore by
their -active habits aad peculiar pen
guin carriage?' - -
The first speciments brought over,
and, we believe, the second also, were
. presented to some friends ia West cum-
. berland, in whose hands they remained
absolutely for many years. ' But, with
that desire for sharing la a good thing
which is characteristic of. the Cum
brians, a large demanl rapidly sprung
up for stock, and thus they have dis
seminated themselves .through that and
the-adjoining county.' -The name given
-to them is. first, because' they are sup
posed to have come from India; and,
second, that they have a "running"
gait; hence we have reached the com
bination "Indian -Runners."
-A breeder of this variety says that he
considers- Indian Runners the best pay
ing variety, of -duck to keep, except
whea reared, absolutely and entirely for
the table. For that purpose they, are
.'undoubtedly small,' 3 -to 4 lbs. each
when fully grown. --Whilst they do not
readily fatten, they- are very nice eat
ing, -and the -flesh more resembles the
flavor, of wild -duck, but is much softer
and more easily eaten. At ten or twelve
weeks old the Indian Runner Is as ten
der as a young chicken. The flesh is
parti-colored, the neck and shoulders
creamy white, and the rest of the body
much darker, the dividing lifte being
very clear. and distinct. '
As already' mentioned, it'-is as a lay
ing duck that the Indian Runner excels,
.aad is said to average 120 to 130 eggs
per annum, without any special feeding,
but simply when given hard corn morn
ing and night. When- worm's are easily
found they' require very little food oth
er than this. The eggs are of fair, size,
white in' shell, of good flavor, and not
.nearly--so strong as is usually the case
with.duck eggs. Mr. GUIett Informs me J
that ne has tep Runner ducks which
have laid 746 eggs from -January 1st to
'May 30th of the -present year, which,
considering the severe frosts which pre
vailed during the' first three months, is
a remarkable, result) The highest!
average was.sixty.-oBe eggs irom ten
ducks, in one week. A a rule, if properly-grown,
theseducks commence lay
ing when' about five months old .and if
'they are "hatched la May. and June, will
begin to lav -before the severe weather
arrives, and continue egg production
right throughout the winter: Early
hatched 'ducks are liable to moult in-the
autumn, and this means fewer eggs in
the colder months. Ducks hatched the'
.first week in March have been'known to
'commence the first week.In August, and
it' is more desirable to: bring them' out
so that they will begin in November.
Five ducke'ean be run -with 'one drake,
and the eggs are remarkably fertile.
Indian Runners'are non-sitters,' but as
in most other breeds in which the ma
ternal Instinct is suspended, exceptions
are found to this rule, but cannot be re
lied on 'for sitting purposes.' -.--
In appearance' the Runner' is lengthy
and slightly built, with close, compact
plnniRge. The.fore part of body" is ele-.
-vated. and the head carried high. ' This
type is found to 'bethe best layers.
' The -following is a description of the
characteristics of theTddian Runner:
Reak: Bright orange in color, with a
triangular tip of jet Mack, but as. age
advances .the orange'- color 'becomes
spotted with olive green, -and finally
assumes a dark olive green color, .espe
cially in duck, the drake retaining the
orange much longer.'
Head- Of the drake, above the eve.
a very dark-brown, with a slight patch 1
below tne eye on eacn stac. these mark
ings' -being neatly rounded off behind;
Neck: Pure white down-to near the
shoulders, which, with the breast Is of
a beautiful grayish-browa:
Under .parts-black, and wings pure
white.' : '
Tsilt Brown, with curled -feathers
white. ?c for about two' inches' above
the tail- the feathers are a very rich
dark 'brown.
. .I-fgs:" Oranrc co!or.
Thc-duck has similar markings to the
drake, except that the colored parts are
a sober" brown,-like a very light Rouen
duck. -.'..
Jn- summer the drake, as -Is the case
-with Rpuens. . assumes a color
like that of . the . duck on back,
'skdqlders and chest, but- is -not
quite so light ."in- color. The
head also becomes "'of a more dowdy
color., withont that brilliant, luster
which characterizes the winter, plum
age. He also loses the curled feathers
m his tail, which are not replaced until
after the autumn' moult Edward

Raw Batter Bersaaca.KaawM.
Butter-stored ia a warm room or ex
posed to sunlight may become rancid
from noxious bacteria without becom
lag sour from cither bacteria or from
direct chemical change, according te
V. Kleckl. ef Leipsic. Germany. The
acidity of butter increases regularly
with its age. aad by the action ef sun
light and heat this goes oa more slowly
than ander the usual conditions. Heat
dlatialshes the activity ef the acid mi
crobes, aad they may be killed by di

roctiy from Its acidity. Oxidation plays
aa inferior part la readeriag butter

ta the actioa ot bacteria, which are
chiefly anaerobic, getting their oxygea

ter should be kept away from direct
suallght" and warm temperatures',
though these factors may retard the
acidity of the butter, bat because they
also induce putrefactive changes which
bring about rancidity.
SklH in Dakyh-c.
Ia producing a pound of butter there
are sixty-six times more room for skill
than ia the production of one pound of
potatoes. Dairying offers a man the
best chance for putting his skill Into
atoney. The object .of the butter-mak
er is to get the fat out of the milk with J
as little oi tne otner constituents in tne
milk as possible. In every 100 pounds
of butter there' should be about 13
pounds of water, 82 pounds of butter fat;
3 pounds of 'salt and 2 pounds of the
ether constituents in the milk. A cow
is not a machine, but a living organism,
and therefore will not give a different
product because she takes different
food. The feed does not affect the blood
of a cow,' from which milk is largely
formed. Feed will affect 'the quality of
the milk sometimes by changing the
-composition of the fat itself. If the
quantity of fat is not affected 'the vola
tile fats from the feed will -become part
of the fat in milk, and give its peculiar,
flavor to the milk. These volatile -flavors
can be expelled by heating milk or
cream to 150 degrees. The ease, with
which cream may be separated from the
milk sometimes depends upon the' 'kind
of -food a cow takes. Cows for making
butter should be handled under such
conditions as will give, them perfect re
pose. Cleanliness should be strictly -observed.
Impure air of the stable will
affect the" milk, and ensilage will not
Injure the milk when fed to cows. When
cows have been milking a long period
or. have been over-heated, .or without
salt, .-the milk will become sticky, and
prevent, a complete separation of the
cream. By having some fresh-calved
cows' milk to mix .with the milk of. cows
that have been milking a long time, a
better quality of butter can -be mage.
Keep' the cream sweet and cold, and
use a suitable fermentation starter, and
you will get a quality of butter in Jan
uary .s good as the quality of June but
ter. If cream :is properly tempered, a
temperature of from 54 -to 58 will be
suitable for churning, and 45 minutes
will be long enough to get butter. Pro
fessor Robertson,- Ontario.
Whence the Qaalltyr
Quality of milk is unquestionably
bred into a cow, and not fed in: My
own'- convictions In regard, to .these
'points which you raise are as follows:
L The percentage of fat in a cow's
milk is not materially influenced -by the.
selection of . foods, 'provided she is fed
a generous' and' well-balanced .ration.
2. In s -'large amount of feeding of
.milch-cows which this station has done
during the-last five, years, we' have ob
served that' changes in' food have 'pro
duced changes 'in the amount-of .milk
rather than in 'lta character. Generally
speaking, ah increase of .the total
amount of fat produced has been ac
companied by a corresponding increase
in the. other solids, 'as well, as in the
volume of milk. A milking cow' be-'
longing to certain breeds, that -produce
thin- milk cannot have Jersey -quality
fed Into her milk any more than one can
feed brains into a Digger Indian. That
quality must come into- an animal of
those breedsr-if . it . comes at all
through a process of selection and per
sistent good feeding, and wijl 'be at
tained only after several generations,
perhaps not then. Maine Expt Sta.
Bantams. Bantam chickens werV
never kept for .utility, because there Is
nothing practical about them. They
are pets o.nly, and. nothing more; the
ladles and children like them because
they are so cunning and self-important.
Take,, for instance, the Black Breasted
Red Game Bantam .cock or hen and
you have a very saucy and, as its-name
implies, a '.'game" little chicken. On
the lawn they are diminutive beauties,
very- showy and attractive. Bantams
are never hatched out before July and
August; if batched earlier, they grow
coarse -and lose the pigmy dimensions
that are essential to them and which
add to their" Value.- When young they
are very 'small, but are -quite hardy,
growing very-fast when properly cared
for. The White Polish and Cochin.Ban
tams are extremely pretty and valuable;
many of. our Asiatic and American
breeds of poultry are found In these
diminutive fowls in perfect counter
partEx. Incubating. Turkeys. It has been
found a rather difficult experiment to
hatch' and rear turkeys' by artificial
means; some have reared a few, but
when compared with the total' pumber
that died while in the brooders, it is a
very plain fact that nothing will equal
the natural method. They are, in the
first place, of too wild a nature; then,
again, they .are too particular in the
choice of food. Thpy would rather
starve to death than to submit 'to the
dictates of any other than a natural
mother.. There is nothing, however,
even with their delicate nature when
young, more interesting to rear than
turkeys;, it -should be fascinating, be
cause the task: is difficult and the sur
mounting of the obstacle would be a'
great reward for the attention bestowed
upon them. Ex.
Cleanliness and Health. Cho'ert
comes among a flock of -fowls some
times very silently and suddenly, and
before you are aware of It some of your
most valuable fowls are lost Cleanli

quarters Invite just this trouble. How
is your hen house? If your nock -contracts

a quart of water.spirits of camphor one
half teaspooaful, sulpho-carbolate of

juice from -round steak dropped from a

everything white'and clean.

tive of the Old .World, where It Is one
of the most valued grasses both for hay
and for- pasturage. It makes a strong
root-growth-and lasts well, in the pas
tures. It does well in most localities
In the southern and eastern parts of the
United States. It Is an excellent grass
for use in mixtures with such species
as tall fescue, smooth brome, orchard
grass and meadow fescue. It gives an
abundant' yield of hay. It is deserving
of trial on all but the very driest soils.
Its "hardiness is shown' from the fact
that it has often escaped from cultiva
tion and still continues to thrive. One
air-dried specimen analyzed by -the
crude .protein, 7.11; nitrogen-free ex
tract. A" 58. Total nitrogen, 1.14; al
buminoid nitrogen... 95.
Beal. in his grasses of North Araerica,
South Dakota experiment station gave
the. following: Water, 6.84; ash, 7.90;
ether extract; 2.85; crude- fiber, 28.72;
says that this gras is known in some
parts of the country as False oat-grass,
French rye-grass, Evergreen grass.
J. B. Lawes, of England, says of it:
"The endowments favorable to this
grass are its hardiness, its comparative
indifference to the character of the soil,
its particularly ample root growth, both
deep and superficial, its strong, tufted
habit, and its early flowering tendency.
It yieldsa considerable quantity of foli
age on the culms,- which affords a good
deal of leafy feed lb 'spring. It 'pro
duces rapidly after cutting: its taste is
bitter, but it is not disliked by cattle.
It does not grow abundantly, except
upon poor soils, and is,- upon the 'whole,
of somewhat-questionable value. ' It is
'much grown in France."
Among English seedsmen there is a
very poor opinion of this grass, and
some call It. a noxious weed. But on
this side of the Atlantic the results of
experiences are different ' .
Prof. D. ' L. Phares, of Mississippi
says: "It has a wonderful capacity for
withstanding the severest beats and
drouths of summer and colds of winter,
it. admits ot being. cut twice a .year,'
yielding twice as much hay as timothy,
and is probably the best winter grass
that can be obtained. To make good
hay it must be cut the instant it blooms.
For green soiling It may be cut four or.
five times, with favorable seasons.
Along the more southerly' belt it may

themost certain grasses to have a good
catch."
Other American authors speak very
highly of it- Prof. Beal'Bums up bis
investigation as follows:
"The writer has raised this grass "on
rather light sandy soil at Lansing,
Michigan, for twelve years or more, has
seen It in some -other locali
ties In the ' state, and thinks
he can tell , why there ' are
'such .conflicting opinions. in relation to
its value. In England the climate is
moist, and the finer succulent grasses
thrive well, while tall oat-grass does
better in .a hotter, drier climate. He
has -had occasion to kill several plats,
and has had no more trouble with 11
than in killing so much timothy. There
are some bulbs iri the sort raised in
Michigan, but they are' not hard to kill.
Like orchard grass, it ripens very
quickly after blooming, and to
make good "hay there must be
no delay in ' cutting. As it
blossoms rather early, many let it go
too long before cutting." when the stems
"become-woody and of poor quality.
Again, bad weather often interferes
with the cutting, just at the right time,
aad poor hay is the result A man
doesa't want a large quantity of this
grass to mow, unless he is prepared to
cat it all ia a' day er two. It mikes
a fine growth the first season after
Mwing, aad, If sowar alone, will cat a

JJm grass well, though most likely they
would prefer to have some grass not so
bitter for a part ef the time. The seed

might wish-to defend him, we have to
admit that there appears to be rolled
into one carcass a greater amouat of
"pure cone ednees". than is found in any
other domestic animal, the mule except

revolting order, often devouring its own
young. It Is a gormandizer of the first

thought of, if he can hold it There is
just one trait in his character that
makes us almost ashamed of having
said that he never considers another's
comfort he will never eat raw onions;
they would make his breath offensive.
"'But with all his faults, we lore (part
of him) still." If you banish him from
the farming world you will create a
blank that nothing else can fill. If we
thus villlfy-the hog, he may with per
fect fairness, turn upon us and say:
"You lords of creation expect me to
perform Impossibilities. For ages you
have made me the scavenger ot your
farms and homes. Tou feed me often
with food that all other animals refuse;
my home is anywhere and anyhow. No

since you have robbed me of most of my

Piggy has .good ground for his com
plaint. It has been too long the notion
that anything was. good enough for -a
hog. This has been the eause of un
told loss. Many a poor cottager might'
save one-fourth to one-third of his out

bacon if only his pig- was kept warm
and clean, had his food given in a more
wholesome form and with greater regu
larity. If growing is the object give as

obtain, with an occasional, if not a reg
ular, bite of grassa little "salt and wood,

meals with boiled potatoes and house

This treatment applies with equal

Passing of the -Heavy Htcer.
The production of heavy beeves Is no
longer the profitable business -it-once -
was. Combined weight and quality are
not necessarily money makers in these
days. For the past few years the ten
dency has been r.apidly in-favor of early
maturity, with decidedly -more atten-.
tion given to quality than to weight.
The consumer has .been ready to ac
cept the change. The superiority' of
early beef has been everywhere recog
nized, and the. heavy steer -is passing
away. The combined efforts of breed
er and feeder have produced the perr
fectly finished steer in less than three
years, and it would seem that the work
is not yet complete; that "the days of
a steer's years" are becoming less and
less, and that, perhaps at no very dis
tant date, the "two-year-old" class will
bo abandoned as was the "three-year-old"
by the American Fat Stock Show
in'1891. -' One important reason -for the
decline of the heavy beef is found in the
.general cry for "cheap meat" cheap,
but good and as the heavy animal has
a larger percentage of offal than the
smaller and compactly, built one, the
buteher has found it unprofitable te
handle that class. It is the percentage
of meat to live weight that decides the
issue. And so the 1.600-lb. steer is be
coming a. thing of the" past The less
of this class-handled this-summer the
better, for 'the market demand is con

Number of Ears Per Stalk. Missis
sippi. Station Bulletin: Three years ago
a correspondent sent us a stalk bearing
seven ears and an accompanying letter
offered a supply of the seed at $12 a
bushel. A workman was sent to one
of the station fields with orders to bring
the first five stalks he could find, each
of which had two ears. Both lots were
'dried thoroughly before shelling, and in
every case the grain from the stalks
bearing two ears outweighed that from
the seven-eared stalk. We have found
no variety which produces uniformly
one. two, or any other number of ears,
but have found the ears to vary from
86 to 537 on 100 stalks counted as they
stood in rows. Tne t-- vfids have
come from those varieties which pro
duce from 175 to 200 ears to 100 stalks,
and we have endeavored to find or pro
duce a variety which should have uni
formly two ears on each stalk, as the
.nearer we have been able to approach
such a -variety the greater has beea the
yield per acre.

"Botanists are agreed that the earli
est petals were yellow, and that, origin
ally, all flowers were of that color. The
order ot development of color in flowers
appears to be yellow, pink, red, purple,
lilac, up to deep blue probably the
highest level while white may occur in
any normally colored flower. Just as al
binos are found among animals. 'As
flowers become more specialized they
become more dependent upon the visits
of special, insects, purple and blue
flowers, for instance, benefiting most
from and being most preferred by bees
and butterflies. A French authority
states that about 4,200 species of plants
are utilized for various purposes in Eu

tenth have an agreeable per
fume, the - others being either
indorous or. having an unpleasant
smell. White flowers are the most
numerous. One thousand 'one hundred

white, and 187 of these have a scent;
31 (77 perfumed) are yellow; next in

If Ho Were Yee.Bg.
Waldo F.. Brown, of Ohio, is one ot
the best known pf agricultural writers
in this country. He tells in the follow
ing how he would manage if he was a
young man on a dairy farm:
If I were a young man and able 'to
work, hard, I should run. as large a
dairy as the farm would furnish rough
feed for, and buy. most of my grain, and
I would try to dispose ot the cream, or
engage butter at paying prices'" so as to
keep the milk at home, to be fed to
calves and pigs, and I am satisfied that
I. could double the profits from my farm
and improve it. rapidly, for wc should
have-large quantities of the richest ma
nure and .could make all the laud that,
we cultivated very rich. But it 'seems
to 'me that a man. of -my" age (sixty
three) out of debt, and able to live com
fortably, with a reasonable degree of i
economy, owes it to himself not. to' be
obliged to Work hard every day and be
tied UD-a't home as I should bo with a
dairy, and so I am satisfied with mod

Feeding Buckwheat Buckwheat is
an excellent grain given occasionally to
the laying stock, but on'account bf its-
fattening nature it must be used- some
what" sparingly. As overfat hens arc
never profitable, buckwheat is? used
comparatively little by paultrynir-n. J
Hens will not cat -It unless very hungry.
and it is fed-alone; there is a t::stc
about the buckwheat kernel that clih-'c-ens
do not take to at first, although aft
er they -become accustomed to it. they"
devour it with a relish. The .fattening
natnre of this grain and wheat must be
remembered and common sense exer
cised in their feeding. There is much
to be learned about, feeding poultry that
is worth knowing, and experience will'
teach you.some. but a hint from.othen:
may save ycu niuch trouble if heeded.
Oyster Shells. The-New York ex
perimental station has found that the
feeding of oyster shells during the lay
ing season, where they can be cheaply
obtained, is recommended. -One pound
will contain lime enough for the shells
of about seven dozen eggs. Limestone
in fine form will probably as well sup
ply the deficiency of lime existing in .
most foods; but the use- of a sharper.
grit witb it may be of some advantage.
Long, sharp, pieces of dry bone or glass,
as some suggest, should be avoided. The
size of particles of grit for hens had
better be larger than a.kcrnel of wheat
and smaller tnan a Kernel of corn. An
unlimited supply or pounded -glass was
accompanied with no bad results when 1.
