DUCKS VERSUS COTTON.
A Texas Farmer who Believes In Duck
Raising In Preference to slav-
Ing In the Cotton Field.

/ see by your columns that you are
trying to work up the Angora goat
industry. This, think, is money and
effort spent in the right direction, for
your many readers to reap the benefit
and induce those that are fayorably
situated to reduce cotton where they
can.
There are many more such industries
that would bring more profit than cot
ton If farmers would only stop to
think and make a trial. There is, for
instance, the raising of ducks. Most
farmers would laugh at you to tell
them that there is more money in a
small duck farm than there is in a
large cotton farm, but it is a fact, il
manged right, | have made more
money out of my small flock of ducks
less than dozen breeding ducks
last year-than | made off of 20 acres
Of cotton. Most Of your readers will
probably not believe this, but it is
plain truth This cotton was not on
poor sandy land as some might think,
but on the black waXy land in the
eastern portion of Travis county,which
has been valued at $50 per acre. Some
of your cotton raisers might think I
am little cI to compare less than Il
dozen breeding ducks with 20 acres of
cotton. IT does not seem fair, but give
me the ducks, they can have the cot
ton.
Why not work up this little indus
try? II does not require The capital,
land and wolf-proof fence like a goat
ranch does, but any renter can pursue
this. Some will say they have not Il
market. It was thus with me five
years ago when | commenced to raise
ducks. but have worked up a market
in a small town at that. where | can
now sell as many as | have raised
SO far. The way ! managed to work
up market for them was keeping the
best stock could get, and deliver the
market ducks at a good size in first
class condition. This has caused de-
mand for my ducks over all others.
Still have neighbors that purchased
eggs for Matching from me and sup
POSED they lad taken the same pains
in raising their ducks, but had TO sell
them for 10 cents less than | got for
mine from the same parties.You might
say ! had them cornered, but that is
not so: it is the honest treatment and
frst-class article delivered them the
first few weeks which gave me their
confidence. New, what I can do, or did
do, any one else can do.
/, for my part, am through with king
cotton and will go into the duck busi-
ness more extensively this year and
give your readers results later on, but
it is past being an experiment with me-
it is a success.
Would be pleased to see some Of the
duck breeders of the state come out
and quack ducks with me, and see il
we can't get ahead of the goat men
in few yenrs.--Frank A. Hanke, in

LOOK FACTS IN THE FACE.
The Farmer Must Keep Abreast OF the
Times IL He Would be Sue
cessful.

Times change, and farmers change
with them. Other people change as
much as farmers, and if they can
stand it, why can't farmers do the
same? Some changes are for the bet
ter; some are not. Farmers have bet
ter advantages for enjoying life than
they once had, but it is certain that
they enjoy life more than their fathers
did? They eat better food. as a rule.
wear better clothing and live i'm better
houses, and have more of the artificial
conveniences than they once had. But
they arc not happy; there are many
pessimists among them; they com
plain that the world is becoming a
mass of corruption, and they are not
far wrong about it. But who is re-
sponsible? Did they not whopp 'cm
up at the primaries and then vote for
the very men they charge with polit-
ieal corruption? Do they not habit
ually elect to Office men who are not fit
for anything else, nor for Office either?
And has not this brought on the hard
times they complain of-the scarcity
of money, the low prices Of products.
and all of the financial atd political
devilment Of which they complain?

THE SUNNY DISPOSITION.

bic to cultivate. Peevishness or fret
fulness of any kind in little children
is indicative OF disposition which
may develop in later years into per-
manent trait of character, which will
bring ceaseless misery TO its posses

that needs the Doctors care, but more
frequently il is petted child, who has
been encouraged by injudicious affec-
ton TO become self-centered. II is not

Whenever a child is cross predispos-

disease anaemia, because ono of the
characteristics of this condition Is ex-
treme pallor. Anaemic children are
generally fretful, and because petted
children are apt 10 be more carefully
housed and protected from imaginary
as well as from real evils, such children
are likely TO be anaemic, and not in
healthy condition.
Happy in disposition and healthy in
body are those children whose parents
allow them the freedom Of play in the
open air. The exceptions to this rule
are so few that they only prove it,
The most certain way to insure our
children the blessings Of AZ smiable,
sunny disposition is to insure them
sound body, which is necessary to
sound mind and sound nerves.
What are called "nervous" people
are often merely fretful, selfish people,
who have no nervous disordera as an cx-

And 10 be honest about il, have not
the farmers themselves become weaned
tc some extent from the simplicity,
frugality and common sense Of theiI
predecessors? Do they not imagine
that when they want 4 thing they
must buy it. instead Of making il as
they shonld. Their present policy is
TO produce ON, or two lOw-priced sta
pie crops and buy everything else. The
Characterization of an agricultural idi-
OF used to be that he couldn't make 4
hoe handle.
Where is the farmer now who ever
thinks of making a hoe handle. an
axe helve, or a plow stock2 The
Yankee manufacturer must now make
these things for him. aud he must 90
tC town and buy such things when he
wants them. The heavy importations
Of beef, pork, bacon, lard, sausages,
potatoes, cabbages, beets, carrots AMI
hundred other articles show that our
farmers are not doing themselves JUS
tiee. The design of the farm is that it
| should be more nearly self-sustaining
than any other field of labor; that
farmers should buy less than any 9TH
er people; that while others must Of
necessity live from hand to mouth, the
farmer should always be amply sup
piled with all things needful. If the
receipts for even 4-cent cotton could
be used to permanently better the
farmers condition, instead of paying
his debts or purchasing what he
should himself produce, there would
be less to complain Of II may as we'll
be realized now that'fnancial improve
ment from the farmers standpoint is
only in the distant future. The policy
of the government, the power and
prevalence of giant trusts, and their
ability to control legislation in their
own interest and TO violate with inn
punity any law intended for their con-
troll, will not be changed until a revo-
luton i'm public sentiment is brought
about that will cause the producers of
the country to act as one man and
cleanse the Augean stable where athou-
sand political cattle have been fatten-
ing for many years. The truth may not
always be pleasant to look at, but err
rors cannot be eradicated by turning
out backs on them.-TeXas Farm and

Exercise Care in Changes ofDlet


Vegetable or animal foods may be
used in common. as has been the habit,
unless there is an inclination to kid
ney disturbance. II is well known that
the urinary eXcretion is increased and
rendered more acid by animal foods,
especially red meats. The amount of
urea is increased, while vegetable diet
tends TO the opposite. Meats are more
stimulating than other forms of animal
foods, consequently seem to satisfy
hunger more quickly and more com
pletely than vegetables. From this
fact we are frequently led into the be-
lief that they are the better foods for
common use. While there is no doubt
that man can exist on either sort of
food, he reaches the highest health de-
yelopment on well-proportioned
mixed diet Great care must be eXer-
cised in change of diet, especially after
so; the meat eater must come gradual
ly to- correct methods of one part ami
NAL and three parts vegetable foods,
and then aim to still reduce This after
approaching the SEVENTEEN milestone.

LIGHT THE DOME.
State Executive Council VIII
See That It Is Well Done.

The executive council has an exten-
sive plan under consideration for the il
Elimination of the state house dome
during the reception for the Twentieth
Kansas.
The plan has not fully matured but
the members of the council hope to
have some definite announcements to
make within a couple of days. The
members are anxious to arrive at a
conclusion so as to begin whatever
work is necessary to accomplish what
they desire to have done.
One of the plans is to use incandes-
cent lights to the number of 5000 which
is the only manner in which the dome
should be Illuminated. The effect would
be beautiful.
Another plan is to secure a dynamo
and attach it to the city electric light
plant and place % arc lights on the
dome. It is claimed that 25 are lights
on the dome would furnish sufficient
light to enable a man to see a pin on
the state house grounds at night.
The members of the council are unan-
imous in their desire to do everything
that can be done towards making the
reception for the Twentieth a success.
They hope to be able to arrange some
thing in the way of illuminations which
will be lasting credit to the state and
at the same time reflect credit on the
members of the council. AS light usual
ly reflects more or less the council
feels justified in seeking some glory.

Collapse of a Temple of the
PharaOhs.

Cairo, Oct. 9.-News has just reached
here of the recent fall of nine columns
of the great hypostyle hall of the tenn
pie of Ell Karnak, built by Zetee L,
dynasty XIX, one of the most magnif-
icent and celebrated relics of the archi
lecture of ancient Egypt.
The great hall of Ell Karnak, which
is the most notable of the monuments of
Thebes of its class is ITO feet long and
329 feet wide The stone roof now par
TALLY in ruins was originally supported
by 1874 columns. the loftiest of which
were nearly 20 feet high and about y
in diameter. 1t was built by Zetee L,
and scuIptered partly in his reign, work
upon it was continued by his son and
successor, Rameses II.
The hall commentaries not in it's
grandeur alone, but also by it's sculp-
lures the magnificence and power of

the interior walls represent these mon
archs making offerings to the gods.

JUDGE BREWERS RETURN.
He Will Leave Liverpool For America
October 11th.

London, Oct 9.-Chief Justice Mel
vile w. Fuller and Associate Justice
David Brewer of the United States Su-
preme court, who were members of the
Anglo Venezuelan boundary arbitration
tribunal will sail from Liverpool for
New York, October IL, by the White
Star line steamer Majestic.
John E. Redmond, Parnelte, member
of parliament for Waterford will be a
passenger by the same steamer.
Justice Brewer. who spent yesterday
with Chief Justice Fuller at StratfOrd
on-Avon and returned to London this
morning said to a reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press this afternoon:
LAS the United State supreme court
meets today we are compelled to hurry
home without seeing much of London,
which is a great disappointment to both
the chief justice and myself. We have
of course, visited the Royal Courts of
Justice. the parliament buildings and
to the English judiciary is of great in
terest to American lawyers and our
only regret is that we are not able to
see and to do more in this direction.
THE universal respect for law in En-
gland is a, great object lesson to Amer
lea The SturdineSs of the English
character in both domestic and foreign
affairs is certainly a worthy example
to the world.
sOur duties, while in Paris and the
inadequate news resources of the Paris
press have left US with little more
knowledge regarding occurrences in the
United States than when we left.
am personally, therefore, without in
formation that would enable me to add
anything to the views expressed by
me regarding the Philippine situation
while at home. Undoubtedly the trou-
BILE with most Americans is the lack of
full information upon which to judge
as to the policy of the future toward
the islands. Some persons claim to
have the knack of judging maturely
respecting a situation on the spur of
the moment I have never professed to
be so fortunate; and L am glad the re-
sponsibility of dealing with the Philip
pines does not lie with me.
Concerning political affairs in
France 1 am unable to speak, interest
ing and instructive as they certainly
are, for the reason that if / should
praise, the public would say was only
returning recent hospitality, and if ]
| should criticise, it would be regarded
as in bad taste after so many days
| passed, so to speak, at court.
L am looking forward with pleasur-
| able expectations to the rest of the
| homeward trip which we hope will
benefit us materially before the begin
ming of the winter session of the su-
preme court
