SYLVAN.

On April l, 1908, sister Nancy
Short, wife of Dan Short, OF this
place, passed peacefully to rest
after long and patient waiting
for the summons to come. She was
born June 20, 1885 and professed
faith in Christ in early life and
lived long and faithful life, sixty
seven years, nine months and
twelve days. AS Il christian, her
life was above reproach; she was
ever ready to lend a helping hand
and after much suffering, borne
with patience, has gone to home in
the heaven OF eternal rest. When
she found the time was drawing
near, she expressed desire to go
and be with her Savior and loved
ones gone before. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by Rev. ]. T.
Barker, after which her immortal
remains was laid to rest i'll the
burial place at Antioch to await
the resurrection morn, when Christ
will come to awake the sleeping
dead. May the Lord give grace to
the bereaved family and relatives
is the prayer of their friends,
A precious one from lis is gone,
A voice we heard is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the days of life are fled,
And in Heaven, with joys to greet
thee,
When no farewell tears are shed.
J. T. BARKER.

INDIAN RUNNING DUCK.
A Hardy Breed which Responds
Readily TO GOOD Feeding and
a Little Care.

The Indian running duck is what
might be called an all-around practical
duck. says Walter E. Delano, in the
American Poultry Journal. The gen.
cral makeup of these ducks seems to
he unlike many others, inasmuch as
they have so many points in their IA
vnr.
First, the color and plumage are very
attractive, being of a fawn color mixed
with white, the brakes having steel
blue cap, with distinct white line run
ming from the eye around the back of
the head to the eye opposite, the pure
white neck, the fawn colored breast
: and back, tapering off with white in
wing flights and tail. They are strong
and erect, alert in every motion and
very hardy.
Second, their laying qualities are
such that they have been called and
are known to-day as the LeghOrn of
the duck family. One breeder claims
for one individual duck record of 1872
eggs per year.
1t is very fascinating for one to col
lect eggs from these ducks after once
starting to lay, and they generally
start in with me in February. 1t is
a common occurrence to bring in just
AS many eggs as there are ducks.
Third, as a market duck, they grow
very rapidly, and while they consume
much less food in proportion than the
Pekin, at ten weeks old will dress ten
pounds to the pair. and in comparing
the pair | find the runner smaller
. boned. but heavier meated.
Success with these ducks, like every
thing else, depends solely on feed and
care. In the center of an acre lot adj

where the ducks are wintered. In
the breeding season select my breed
ers. putting one drake with every five
ducks and as soon as the ice is out of
the pond the ducks are allowed the use
of it through the day, but are called
into their house for supper at night.
thus making it easy to collect the eggs
in the morning.
One of the most essential things in
raising ducks is that they have dry
quarters TO sleep in and pure air to
breathe. Little attention need be given
TO making tight houses as long as they
s-are kept dry at night. They will stand
some very cold weather. For their
bedding ] use plenty of lawn clippings
and Glover hay, and it is surprising to
see how much a'fiocl of so will consume
through the winter.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

There are no lice on incubator and
brooder chicks. This is one advantage
in artificial rearing.
Throw the grit for the ducks in their
drinking water. They like to fish for
it. Just watch them go for water and
this grit while feeding.
