CoIored Rouen Ducks.

Colored Rouen ducks are becoming
every year more popular in this conn.
try. They are supposed to have had
their origin in the city of Rouen in
Normandy. At least they must have
been raised largely there before they
were exported to this country. The
RCuen duck is fine market bird. but
does not mature so early as do the
Pekins and the Aylesburys. 1t is
hardy and prolific and has quiet dis
petition. The eggs, however, are not
as large as are those of the Pekin
duck, and lack uniformity of color. 1t
is believed to be closely related to the
Mallard duck, and this belief is
strengthened by its plumage. The
standard weight of the drake is nine
pounds and Of the mature duck eigh,
pounds.

Spring litters can be handled to ad.

grass and clover lots. In addition to
the pasturage, little soft food should
be fed, and the corn ration should be
very small Bran and middlings, and
oil meal in small quantities, may en-

charcoal are profitable adjuncts to
the feeding ration. Charcoal may be

should be avoided. as it is certain that

the commencement exercises of
which have been in progress this
week. From this justly celebrated
school, many noble women have
been graduated, and have exerted
an influence for a higher and better
life, rejecting credit not only upon
themselves, but upon their alma
mater. The school has achieved
its enviable reputation chiefly
through the work of its principals,
In whose selection the management
has been fortunate. The present
incumbent, Miss Elizabeth J. JOY
ner, is a woman of culture and re-
finement, a graduate of V~assar, de-
voted to her profession and has a
high conception of her duty. Under
her guidance and control, the stand
ard of the school has been maintain

has given her best efforts to its
upbuilding and Improvement. In
her good work, she deserves the
hearty cooperation of the citizens of
Bolivar, which the BULLETIN sim
cerely hopes she will receive.
