The profit in duck culture coarses from selling the young •ducks as eo0n as they begin to •get their mature coat of feathers, By -that time they are about eight to ten weeks 'old, and are termed "green ducks!.' After that they grow 'less in weight 'and condition. The green duck in the hands of a competent Chef will, an taste, closely resemble the flavor of the famous and now almost extinct, canvasback duck. Green {ludas bringethe best prices in June, and from then on the price gradually falls. From September to November ducklings again' commend 'good returns. •The saleable market duck must be fat, plump and round, and the skin must be of a uniform color. Flavor is imparted to the carcass of the bird by the food it eats. The wild herbs, plants and fish which ducks eat give the rank taste to the meat and eggs. Feeding largely upon wild celery is what gives that delicious taste to the canvasback duck.

More seed nos chattered when the plants are cut at "this stage than when cut earlier; but this is not necessarily a loss, as the grain header is used for the most part in semi -arid sections where shattered ,seed is depended upon to reseed the land, Much seed may be lost it harvesting is delayed for only a few days. 1VI•any fields have been observed in which ninety per cent. of the seed had shat- tered in less than two weeksafterthe. time the plants should have been cut. Cutting the plants when they are damp 'from rain or dew will reduce loss by shattering.

We have to make up our- nr,inds to part with these we Dare 'for most in order to go with uncongenial- ity, hardness of heart and misunder standings. When the time comes to say good-bye no long protraction of farewell can •overtake and cancel the fact that farewell must be said, Riddance of the goou, the beautiful,. the true comes mournfully to us, es well as severance from the vile, the mean, the unmanly or unwomanly.. We must bid adieu to prized and con-• secreted things as well as to those that are rightly held in low esteem. But we owe praise and thanks to the Power that guides our destinies that we. may still keep a few hallowed memories in our hearts against the• thundering heels and trampl,ings of all tthe disturbers of peace. Saying good-bye is the hard 'ordeal to which our mortality condemns us. That we must undergo the pain and loss of parting for a time is what• leads us, mainly, to place a value on. eternity. If eternity were a continu- ing farewell instead of a continuing reunion there would be no need of any other hell. The saddest affliction •is to say good-bye, one after another, to those considerations that have made life dear—our health, our youth, our in- nocence, our fortune, our good looks, our prospect of a career—but most of all, to friends and those we love. There is scarcely an event so com- monplace as the departure of a train. At all times of the day and night their chugging processionals leave big clangorous terminals and little rural way -stations that drowee long hours between -whiles.

Besides cultivation and watering, certain crops will need protection against the hot sun.
