The Feeding Of Young Ducks.

Ducklings will eat twice as much as
chicks, but they will also eat almost
anything that is given them. Though
apparently voracious. they also grow
twice as fast as chickens, and do not
cost any more per pound than chickens,
as a duckling will weigh four pounds
when nine weeks old if of the Pekin
breed. Cooked turnips, beets. carrots
or potatoes, thickened with bran, make
an excellent mess for them. Feed them
four times a day, giving all that they
will eat, and you can almost see them
grow.-F arm and Fireside.

MOURNs FOR HIS GROOM
Great McChesney Refuses to Eat
When His Old stableman
Is Sick.

The strong and intelligent affection
Of the thorobred race horse, which
has served as the theme of many a
story and poem before to-day, was
never, perhaps, more strikingly ex-
semplihed than by an incident at
GraYesend recently in, which the pop-
ular McChesney is paramountly con-
cerned. Because his favorite groom
was not on hand to feed him and
lead him forth into the paddock run
way for his morning exercise, Nc
sChesney refused to eat. for sixteen
hours, and in other ways evinced the
most profound disconsolation. So
we'll confirmed in their suspicious of
what allied the great horse were the
stable hands at e. e. Smathers'
training quarters that an attempt was
made to masquerade "a stable man as
the regular groom by placing the hat
and clothes worn by him upon the
stableman.
The ruse did not work, however, for
McChesney looked the pretender over
with as much astuteness as a, Pinker-
ton and turning in his stall, refused to
be comforted.- For a time it was
thought the horse was sick, but cir
cumstances proved him to be a.victim
Of melancholy.
For three years Dave Woodford, a
stablenan of mature age, has looked
after McChesney. He has rubbed the
famous horse after his many races and
helped get the big Train ready for
all his contests.
" Woodfords was stricken down with
typhoid fever recently and removed to
the hospital. To-day Frank Taylor re-
ports the Smathers employee as much
improved, and hopes for his recovery
are held out. In the meantime Nc
Chesney goes about detected and for.

any Northwestern's coach had to work
with. Consequently Wisconsin's pos
stbilities are superior to those Of
Mort hWestern, and they may be de-
pended on to rise to an emergency bet

If training and drill could win in
this instance, Northwestern would at
least have an even chance, but under
exciting circumstances the individual
superiority of the cardinal players
should turn the scale in favor Of Wis
consin..
{. The, lines Of the contestants are
equal in weight and there should be
little advantage one way or the other
among the forwards. The ends and
back field Of wisconsin. however, are
unquestionably superior to those of
their rivals, and this superiority should
win the game.

WHAT IS A CHAUFFEUR?

The newest dictionary adds 1900
hitherto unaccepted words to the Eng

acknowledgements on the part Of the die
tionary compilers that the motor car
has enriched our language. Most Of
the new automobile words are already
Uncommon use, but many OF them
are not yet given their correct applica-
ton. AS a result some odd mistakes
are made, probably none so amusing
as that which occurred when a well
meaning sporting editor asked Barney
Oldfeld in all innocence whether he
was ever troubled with an overheated
steering gear.

acceptance of chauffeur" as a dis
tfnctive word, has become imperative.
Yet while chauffeur" does not to us
