Is there anything that I can do to remedy It?" I know of but one safe way to dilate the valve of the hard milking teat As soon as possible after the cow calves, milk the teat with a strong hand. Put oa all the force that will do. Do not allow the calf to suck the teat, and do not get any milk on the teat Uo to the heifer every hour or two and milk some big streams. Keep the teat diluted until the udder Is contracted and again normal. This beats all the rubber plugs and teat dilators man Invented, but It docs not destroy teats. I believe the good authority, C.

There are five varieties of the Wyandotte class, and it is only a matter ol opinion as regards a choice of the best.

I have saved the lives or some and great suffering for many by seeing to it that at calving time they are not neglected. I say this to show you how easy it Is to prevent the calf sucking a hard milker. A cow that milks an easy, so that she leaks her milk, can be cured generally by the very reverse. Let the calf suck a few days, and any milking you do, do not put on much force. In this way milk leaking can bo stopped.

Of course, these birds belong to the classes of water fowl, and therefore it is desirable to have a pond, spring, brook, lake, or some small, clean body of water in which the ducks may bathe and freshen their plumage (which soon becomes soiled and dirty), as well as secure considerable food in the shape of water plants. Insects, worms, etc. Wherever a duck plant Is located near an arm of the sea, the ducks secure much food in sha&e ef fish, quahaugs, clams, etc., at taA ebb tide. But notwithstanding the "durability of water privileges, ducks will get along and do very well with oa If enough water for drinking purpose and Indeed thousands upon thousands of ducks that have graced tables of hotels, 'epicures and others, never saw more water than their drinking dishes held, from time of hatching until death ended all. That roast duck Is fine gating cannot be denied, and that duck eggs are large and very nutritious alss cannot be gainsaid. Hence a flock of a dozen, or less, of ducks will go quite a distance in keeping the family In the best of provisions. One very important item about the duck is that, when properly cared for In a small flock, she will continue laying for three or four months a fine, large egg, just aa true as the day comes around. The hen is satisfied to lay every other day, or even less, but the duck carries on active business every day. It Is not a good plan to pen ducks In very large flocks. Twenty-fiv- e ducks to a pen is plenty, and four lively drakes about ducks. right for twenty-fiv- e During the laying season keep the. ducks confined during the forenoon, when the eggs will have been about all dropped; then set them at liberty during the afternoon. Ducks are great eaters, but luckily not over particular. They seem to crave bulky, filling food; so boll roots for them, such as beets, carrots, Mash onions, potatoes and turnips. these and add a mixture of ground grain composed of bran, ground oats, corn meal and linseed meaL Mix the grain something as follows: One peck of bran, one peck of oats, one peck of cornmeal, and two pecks of linseed meal Do not forget oyster shells for grit and to help form the egg shells, for the making of which a great deal of carbonate of lime Is needed. The young ducklings are at first quite tender and must be kept from rain, water and all dampness. Feed them milk with the regular foods, if possible, and force rapid growth. As soon as they acquire -- regular feather they are hardy and tough. Canids TTader FOR OUR RURAL READERS. In .... with the Inside fixings of the teats d a milch cow. They are wonderfully made. Tuberculin Teat in France, The French government has recently Issued a decree that will affect all shippers of cattle to that country, the order being In effect that no cattle can be lm ported and retained unless they have been tested on the frontier by the tu berculin test and found free of tuberculosis. This measure hks become lm perstlve owing to the prevalence of the above disease among bovine stocks, the serious loss that has resulted to stock owners, and the menace to public health. The order particularly affects the Import of British breeding stock. In the post few years a syndicate of French breeders of 8horthorns has, through the aid of the French govern mint, purchased numbers of high-bre- d Shorthorns in Great Britain with the object of Improving the cattle of that breed la their own country. Among their purchases have been some of the best Shorthorn bulls brought out at the shows of the Royal Agricultural Society of England. Under the new regulation of the French government the above syndicate finds It must refuse to purchase any cattle that will not come out clear from the tuberculin test Recent experience under this order brings out this emphatic, refusal, two or three of the bulls purchased in Great Britain having proved tuberculous and haring to be destroyed. One of these woe Lor Polwsrths "Nonsuch" champion at the Royal Show at Leicester and purchased at a price closely approaching 15,000. Under the circumstances the decision of the syndicate Is hardly surprising. The example of the .French government has been followed by the Canadian that no cattle shall be Imported Into the Dominion unless warranted free of tuberculosis as tested by tbe tuberculin test. Use oi MUk. There Is nothing aside from tbe milk of human kindness so necessary to the comfort of any family as the milk of a i;ood cow. It Is like oil poured upon the troubled waters of family life; it la a perfect food for the baby; It is an excellent bev ersge for the children; It furnishes cream for the coffee, butter for the bread, and cheese for the lunch. It shortens the pie crust and raises tbs johnny cake, even tbe cat and dog cry for It. With the farmer It goes still further. It raises the calf; it feeds the pig: it pleesee the colt and it delights tbe chickens. Yes, and If he will only give her a fair chance, the cow will clothe the children, buy cem forts for the wife, pay the taxes and help to lift the mortgage. Rev.
