Work to be Immediately Begun on the
Austin Branch.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, March 21.-News reached
the city to-day that, in response to numer-
GUS petitions from lodges in the north and
northeastern states, the executive com
mittee of the Yardmasters' association of
North America had determined to change
the place of meeting of the next convention
on the second Wednesday in June, from
this city to Columbus, o.
At meeting this afternoon OF
the directors of the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass railroad, President
Lott was authorized to put under CON
struotion at the earliest possible date all
extensions of the road projected, which
include those from Comfort to Laredo,
from Sinner to Austin, from West Point
to Waco, from Kennedy to Laredo and
from Houston to Shreveport, La, com
prising total mileage of about 700 miles
Work has already commenced on the Llano
extension, and will begin in few days
on the Austin and Waco taps. The
directors will leave this olty in body
Friday afternoon for thorough inspec
ton OF all of the road.
At the annual meeting to day of the Sar
Antonio board of underwriters the follow
ing officers were elected: w. b. Smith
president; VIM. Campbell, vice president
Charles Saver, secretary, and X. w. Say
treasurer.

An item About Ducks.

If the incubation is natural the duck is
in the opinion of many the best setter,
but the hen is the best mother, especially
if pond or water course is accessible.
The eggs once Matched, away HES mother
duck to the nearest water. Whether
anxious to reduce the number of bills to
be met or what, she with her little brood
is soon afoat. If the mother drck would
hover over her charge after leaving the
water until they were driC no harm
would follow the swim, and the plumage
would be the better for it. But this she
will not do, and instead she leads the
chilled ducklings upon foraging expedi-
ton from which, if any survive, they are
stunted, and from such drawback the
bird never fully RECEIVERS. 1t is for this
reason that the hen is the better mother.
With the hen they can be kept within
the limits of pen, whereas the duck
mother would be restless in the contine-
ment. After the first week the ducklings
may have water in shallow pan to
dabble in, and if with hen mother may
have fully liberty.

condition. Sometimes the ground can be
prepared and sown early in spring, if the
soil is dry, or it may be best, in case OF
wet weather, to delay the seeding even
till autumn. The work of preparation
may be done by hand or by subsoiling
and narrowing with horse power, ac-
cording to the amount of land.
Country Gentleman gives the follow
ing advice about preparing a lawn for
seeding and also for turing, explaining
its suggestions with the cuts here repro
duced.
To make it sufficiently rich, finely
broken manure must be worked in
through the soil; this will aid in giving
a green lawn in times of drought The
application of pulverized lime, at the
rate of q peck to square rod, will be
useful, if we'll narrowed or raked in
The grass seed should be sown on finely
pulverized, smooth, mellow surface, and
brushed or rolled in, so as not to bury
the seed over half an inch, and warm
and moist weather will soon give the
new green carpet. The best grass is
Kentucky blue grass or June grass,

a more speedy way Of securing a
lawn, where the surface is limited, is by
turfng. The work, however, must be
well done or it will be rough and lumpy,
like Fig. /, which represents a section Of
a badly laid turf, If properly performed
it will be smooth and even, as shown in
Fig. O. To secure this smoothness the
turf must be cut from compact pas
ture, in squares, with accurate sides, and
made uniformly thick before laying, by
inverting upside down on board and
shaving with sharp hoe, as shown in
Fig. 9. Lay these accurately on the
well prepared deep soil already described,
early in spring.

Mr.. Huntington's Plans.

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 2l.-O. p.
Huntington, of the Southern Pacific, ar
rived here from the east last evening. He
stated to an Associated Press reporter
there was not the slightest foundation for
the report that he contemplated purchas-
ing control OF the Atchison system. He
said several important measures would be
discussed at the meeting of the Southern
Pacific directors in April, among them the
extension of the oompany's lines into
Durango, Mexico, the establishment of
line of steamers between some Atlantic or
gulf ports and Bazil, and the completion
of various branch lines in this state.
