The sketch of Bertis Winkler, which appeared iu the fcicrahl of to day aroused no little interest iu the community, and created in her behalf no small amount of sympathy and regard.

Having raised nearly all the leadiug varieties of ducks for the last six or eight years, aud iu very limitod accom modalionu, perhaps I can make ph.iu iny meth.d to all interested. A great dual has been written about the impor taiiCQ of largo pond or stream iu raising ducks, aud tho folly of keeping thetu I without such water. In my own ease I have proved by experience that a tub or pail kept full is all that is necessary to rear ducks with perfect success. L huvewon numberless pme* upon ducks, which havo never been in water since they were hatched. With regard to the duck house, many standard works on poultry advise a grouud or brick floor iu preference to one of plank. I havo tried all three plans, and find that the ground or brick floor in a duuk house will bring on paralysis, rheumatism und many other complaints. 1 have tho floor ot my house made of inch plank, raised ouo foot or more from the ground, on stono piers, thus advoiding nil dnmpuess. This, plan, also, enables a terrier to "clea.u out" the rats, which would otherwise burrow under the building. I/arge w i u d o w s are plaecd-on the south, tho doors open ing under such windows, opening to i small "run," or"widdle." In winter the floor is covered with a thin bedding, of hay?in summer with saw-dust, which, being an excellent absorbent, renders the air at all times sweet nud pure. When the bedding becomes foul it is swept out and tho lloor washed with hot wafer. I iui?e the Rotten. Crested Cuban, Musk, and common breeds, each, of courne. Laving a sopar artc apartment?that of the Musks being provided with roosting poles! The best egg-prodncing fond is another important point in raising any vnriety of ducks. After buying every kind of grniu, I have fouud that oats will produce largo numbers of eggs where all other food has failed. Tito best way to Iced Otts is lb a pail ot' water ; the exercise given the ducks by feeding in this way will keep them in perfect health. ! With this treatment my Musk ducks weigh, whon grown, viz : males twelve and one half to fourteen pounds, females nine pounds. My pri e dt^oks at tho; Conneolicut show in i860. I mid fq at hi:9tui <t*HU?wtoax 18^0 ^uffd^l'OTty'Wergned a,tr'iflo'Wr< the above estimate. Different breeds of | ducks' vary in the time ?f ibc?btttion, Ro?cn,' Caynuga, Ayelsbury, and Com uion duck eggs hatching in four weeks, while those of Musk (improperly called Muscovy) ' take five weeks. ' Their eggs should generalijr be set under hen?, and Brahmas are best for this purpds'e; boln^l more steady setters and better mothers The first food'for ducklings'when hatch ed, should he tho yolk of a hard boiled egg, and when a woek old eat>moal"is exeello'nt for- them. When-young,- they should bo cooped up until-the sun is up, on account ^of 'the ??^Ctvgrass,'?whi?h chills nnd ruins m ore yo'ung'ifb'wls of'ftlD kinds than any other cause.* When, throe or four weeks old,'they may be liberated with tho mother and they will soon learn to go with old ducks.' Duck lings should never be housed at night with tho bid ducks,..as they are liable to persecution' froru them. . With this care. I have had grout success, aud doubt not that others will have the saino.-ronj W. JS.yin Ohio Fannvr. The Condensed llilk Man. J cid is^fgsfl "1 rrvx^A oil .imX vi Gail Borden, the "Condeused Milk" man, died In Colorado county, Texas, on Sunday, January 11th, in the seventy third year of his age. Mr. Borden first came to New . York from Galveston, Texas. Tu 1S50 he invented what is called meat . biscyits, containing in the smallest possible space, all the nutritive of the beef ' or other meat used in its manufacture. ' After Uidrougn"''tesisf .both iu tliis country and Europe, the highest authorities pronounced the "meat biscuit" au excellent arti?le, re tabling unimpaired the nutritive proper ties of its constituents. A council medal was awarded at the great exhibition at London in 1851. Tho report on the ?subject says: "A more simple economi cal and efficient form of portable con centrated food than tne A merit biscuit, has uever been brought before the oublto. Mr. Borden toiled ires santly, nnd often under great, discounig e mien Is, in producing this artiele, but he .-till saw a defect in it, which *vus the tigehey used in dessication. After further .\ peri incuts for several years, he perfected a pro -ess by which pure bro h is rciuecd to a solid form. Uc next tinned bin attention to making conden sed milk. Preparations of milk were known in Europe and in this country, but they were too costly to admit of general u-o, und moreover^ foreign sub stances were introduced which were less nutritive than new milk. Mr. Borden was the u an to overcome all obstacles in this matter, and he set to work with great zeal aud confidence. Iliscxperi meiits were long and expensive, but he at length succeeded. The first factory which he established was "it Litchlicld, Connecticut, and the demand for the milk still increased. Iu 1860 more extensive works wore erected in Duchess county, New York, on the line of the Harlem Railroad, where three vacuum paus were employed, capable of working 5000 gallons per day. Another factory was established at Brcwster's, Southeast, Putnam county, another at Livormore If nils, Me., and another at Elgin Kauo county, Illinois. The two latter having each a capacity of 2000 gallons per day. At the latter place there is also a factory for the manufacture of extract of beef. A Disheartened Insurance Agent. A family named Konipcr moved into a house in our row list week, writes Max Advcr, and Benjamin P. Gunn, tho life insurance agent, who lives in tho same row, was the first caller. He dropped in to see if ho could not take out a policy for Mr. Kemper. Mrs. Kemper came down to the parlor to see him. 'T suppose," said Gunn, "that M r. Kemper has no insurance on his life." "No," raid Mrs. Kemper. "Well, I'd like to get him to takeout a policy iu oui company. It's the safest in the world ; the largest capital, smallest rates and biggest dividends." "Mr. Kemper don't take much inter est i.i such things now," said Mn K. "Will ma.lam, but he ought to, in common justice to you.'
