TESTING DUCK EGGS.
TO PROVIDE AGAINST INFERTILE
EGGS IN HATCHING.
The Process of Incubation in Its Various-
Stages—To Make an Egg Tester—Eggs
That Will Not Hatch Should be Be -
moved From the Nest.
In the hatching of ducks and other
poultry, much -,loss is prevented by set-
ting only fertile . eggs, and if these are
again examined during the early period
of incubation, the nests need not be foul-
ed by decaying and broken eggs which
would entail further loss. I use the
simple form of egg tester shown in the
accorilipanying engravings. A sheet of
tin six inches wide, eight and one-fourth
inches long on one side and seven inches
long on the other, has a two-inch circular
hole cut out of it near the middle of
the longer side so that the edge of the
opening is one and one-fourth inches
,.• distant from the
side. The sheet is
now bentitnd solder-
ed to form a tube,
Vg. 1, six laches
long, the larger end
of which will fit on
t'
I a lamp burner like
an ordinary lamp
chimney. y . Four slits
mne
are cut on the edge
of the now oval-
shaped opening on
the side of the tube
EGG TESTER. so that two clips of
tin may be hent inward' to hold a sheet
of mica inside of the tube and against
the opening. This allows, the light to
shine through. A second tube, one and
a half inches long and nearly three
inohes in diameter is now soldered at
right angles to the first tube, and
around the mina opening. A .piece of
black cloth is put over the short tube
and held in place by a tin band. A one -
inch hole is out from near the top of the
cloth to let the light shine through. The
complete tester, Fig. 2, is placed as a
chimney on a lighted lamp, and is
always used in a dark room. The
egg to be tented should be held large end
up and placed against the hole in
the dark color, when the light will shine

this space. The appearance of the un.
broken egg in the tester is shown in Fig.
10. As soon as -the membrane is broken
the duck makes a chirping noise, often
for several hours before the shell. is
broken.
Theory and practice are often at vari-
ance, the appearance of a dead germ
on the fifth day is represented in Fig. 6,
There is a small black spot with a red
circle around it. In a few days this
circle disappears and the egg soon de-
cays. Such eggs should be removed on
the fifth day. The appearance of a dead
germ on the twelfth day is well shown
in Fig. 8. There is but little difficulty in
distinguishing an egg which contains a
dead embryo on or after the twelfth day.
After that they turn green very soon -
and their odor is very disagreeable.
Such eggs are two degrees colder time
those which contain live germs. Tile
appearance of a duck egg in which, from
various =lies, the embryo cannot
turn at pipping time is illustrated in
Fig. 11. This will occur whep too much
moisture has been
used..The duck will
be very large, and
can pip the shell,
but cannot turn.
The consequence is
that it dies with its
.bill protruding from
the shell, •and its
odor will not be
-pleasant on the 28th
day. On the other

fact that the membrane is dried fast.
Unlike the former, the duck will not
die on the twenty-eighth day, but will
live for some days. The bill will not
project, neither will there be such a bad
odor as in the former case. By remov-
ing such eggs from the nest as will not
hatch, I have much greater success in
hatching duck eggs, and the above de-
ecribed tester is necessary for the pur-
pose.--eAmeriean Agriculturist.

was the custom of the Presiden4. to dive,

when anyone and everyone were privileged
to pay their respects to the drawing room.

Trees for the Lawn.
One of the most graceful trees we have for
this purpose is the native elm, writes Eben
E. Rexford in the, March Ladies' Home
Journal. This I consider our best tree.
Others would prefer the maple, while many
would choose the oak. The linden or bass-
wood is a quick,growing, graceful tree. The
butternut is a favorite - in many localities be-
cause of its rapid growth, great spread` of
branches and the liberal amount of fruit
which it yields annually after a few years.
It has one bad habit, however, which de-
tracts somewhat from its desirability as a
yard or lawn tree—that of dropping its
foliage very early in the season.
The locust is a favorite with many because
of its profusion of fragrant flowers. It has
pretty foliage also, and grows very quickly.
Because of its exceedingly rapid growth the
box elder is 'extensively planted by those
who want a tree in the shortest possible
time, but I cannot advocate its use. It is a
coarse tree and one soon tires of it. Such
trees as the elm, maple, oak and linden one
comes to have a stronger love for as they
grow older.
Iu planting trees on the lawn do not make
the mistake of overplanting. Very likely
you will, however, because one or two sma
trees on the lawn look so very small that one
feels like adding enough to make something
of a show. But look ahead and think what
your one or two trees will be in a few years,
and be content to wait. You must be care-
ful not to cut away all the light from your
house for the sake of beautifying the lawn
with trees.

THE PEKIN DUCK.
It Matures Early and is Very Hardy and
Domestic in Its Habits.
I have experirnented for 20 years with
all the larger breeds of ducks, crossing
in every conceivable way, and anesatie-
fied with the Pekin. Idiave got through
experimenting, and de I grow nearly
10,000 ducklings a year, can hardly
afford to guess atdt, a cent per bird
makes a difference of over $50 in my re-
ceipts, lc per lb a difference of over $300.
I can afford to use only the bird that will
grow the largest in the shortest time.
She must also produce the first eggs to
enable me to get young birds on the
market fur the highest price. There is
more profit froth one early bird than
'from three later ones. The le iximum
price for early birds is 45c per le in Bos-
ton and New York, the minimum for
late ones 16c, the cost of producti on is
the same for both.
The Pekins mature earlier, are more
.hardy and domestic in their habits, never
wander far and return home at night.
:They are not mischievous, require, leas
water than any other breeds and their
pure white elattic feathers, are largely
mixed with down. These feathers sell
from 40 to 50c per lb., and are no
conditions. This will occur when the
breeding ducks.aro too fat or when they
are in an unhea,Ithy condition.' Such
germs will be dead on the twelf day.
The strong embryo duck at the twelfth
day of incubation is shown ih Fig. 7.
At this stage the embryo duck is on its
back underneath the yoke. Its oack
rests on the under side of the shell and
a portion of the time its head seems to
be down between its feet, and
at other times it will slowly raise i ts
head to the full length of the neck. At
this stage the egg is very much cloud-
ed, the embryo can only be seen by the
aid of a strong tester. The delicate
blood vessels which branch out into the
yolk in all directions now empty into one
large blood vein, which enters the
body at the navel. The yolk which has
such a fine, plump appearance in a fresh
laid egg is at this stage much changed.
(The sacks which surrounds it has
\doubled its original size, and in appear
Pico resembles the folds of a large in-
Xestine. Owing to its fatty condition it
keeps to the _upper'side and, instead of
being plump and round, it is spread out
thin. and seems to occupy the irregular
space above the embryo. By the end of
the thirteenth day the skin is formed.
The fourteenth day the down begins to
make:its appearance, the feet are form-

Find the Moral for Yourself.
A few years ago a, queer old gentleman in
New Jersey died, leaving property worth
about $20,000 to Henry George, the single
tax advocate. George was to use the for-
tune in smashing land monopoly and dissem-
inating single tax doctrines. The queer old
gentleman had some relatives in the west,
and they volVed by all that was good and
great the property should never be used for
any such unorthodox purpose—no, not if
they had to go to law and take possession
of it themselves. It was not that they
wanted it, but they would not let it go for
such a crank object. They argued that, ac-
cording to the testator's bequest, the money
was to be used in breaking down existing
laws, and it was unlawful to try to break
down existing laws.
The first court decided in favor of the
relatives. By that time Henry George had
his blood up, and he determined to see
whether it was really unlawful to try to
break down existing laws when you think
they are bad laws. He appealed the case
and fought it through court after court. The
queer olcl man had left a wife unprovided
for. Henry George said if he got the -money
he would see that she was made comfortable
for life. But the relatives were determined
that no such small consideration as the
maintenance of the testator's widow should
stand in the way of the performance of a
high public duty, and so they refused to let
her have any share of the property. The
old lady went to the poorhouse and died
broken-hearted because she had to go. The
relatives stilllawed and laweclon. The cane has
just been decided in favor of Henry G-eorge,
who gets the property. But there is now
only $200 left of it. The lawyers got the
rest.

GEORGE A. WILTSE.
A great writer has said : "We are born
with the priiciples of ' dissolution in our 4
frame, which; continue to operate from our
birth to our eath."
A more recent authority—a medical man
of long experience—has made the important
statement, " that men and women can
quickly dissipate and stamp out every trace
-of the common ailments which attack them,
and add many long year to life, if Paine's
Celery Compound is used instead of the
ordinary drugs now so freely dispensed to
satisfy professional custom."
These principles of dissolution—mortality
—death—are seen in thousands with whom
we come in contact every day. We meet
the dyspeptic, rheumatic, nervous, billions,
sleepless and run-down on every hand. In
such, the germs of mortality are fast ex-
panding and tightening, and will hold them
captive unless released by a staling and
effective agency.
1 Mr. Gehrge A. Wiltse, of Athens, Outs
whose portrait appears a.bove, was fast be-
. coming a victim to dyspepsia. Knowing
what P' aineai Celery Compound had done
, for others similarly tortured and afflicted,
i he used Nature's health -giver, and soon.
i found a complete cure. Mr. Viriltse writes
las follows about his case :
" I want to add my testimony in favor of
your valuable remedy, Faille's Celery Com-
pound, which I have been taking for -over a
year for dyspepsia, and severe pains in the
neck and baek of the head. Your medieme
has produced a complete cure in my ease,
and I have recommended it to several
friends, who claim they have reeeived great
benefit. I can testify, therefore, in all hon-
esty, that your Paine's Celery Compound is
a very valuable medicine."
A Saloon -Keeper's Story.
A man named Stacy, the owner of a
splendid saloon in New York, signed the
pledge and closed the house. Hearing that
a. party of lads had formed themselves into
temrrance society -he went to them and
gave them, his experience as a rumseller.
We repeat some of his aecollections for our
larger audience : I solci liquor, said Mr.
Stacy, for eleven years, 16ng enough to see
the beginning and the end of its effects: I
have seen a man take his first glesis of liquor
in my house, and aftetwards fill the grave
of suicide. I have seen man after man,
wealthy and educated, come into my saloon
who cannot now buy their dinner. I can recall
twenty -customers worth from one hundred
thousand to five hundred thousand dollars
who are now without money, place or
friends. He warned the boys against en-
tering saloons under any pretence.
He stated that he saw many a young man,
member of a temperance society, come in
with a friend mad wait while he drank. No,
no he would say, I never touch it. Thanks
allthe same. Presently, rather than seem
childish, he would take a glass of cider or
harmless lemonade. The lemonade was
nothing, but I knew where it would end.
The only safety, boys, for any man, no mat-
ter how strong his resolutions, is to keep
outside the door of the saloon.
