Diseases Common
to Ducks
ART. yI.-MRS. OCTAVIUS ALLEN.

Ducks are quite unlike chickens in
respect to disease. The diseases to
which chickens are liable would fill
small dictionary, whereas ducks are
limited to a few. AS a rule ducks are
supposed to be harder than chickens,
but though they can stand a great deal
that a chicken cannot, yet they are
much more likely to suffer from rheu
matism, tuberculosis and cramps than
any other kind of domestic fowl. To
prevent rheumatism it is important to
have the ducks housed on a wooden
floor with plenty of dry litter spread
over it. Moreover, they should be
shut up in dry, though open quarters
every night as soon as the weather be-
comes wet or cold. AS rule the
lungs do not become readily affected
after the ducklings are a few weeks
old, and I have found that it is in
nearly all cases caused by chilling in
the first few hours after Matching out.
Sometimes ducks suffer from a kind OF
cape worm, probably from swallowing
worms carrying embryo 'gapes." These
come on sour, dirty ground. A tea
spoonful of turpentine in every " pint
of food will generally correct this.
For lung complaints, if they are mild,
a little stewed linseed oil may be Civ
en-. This is also a good medicine IL
the ducks have over-eaten themselves,
which they are very ready to do. For
roup or "sore eye" give balm capaila,
1 or powdered licorice, u or peperin,
- drachm, mixed in u OF. salad oil.
Give one teaspoonful every day for
three or four days. For cramps put an
old sack on tin of hot water, wrap the
duck up in warm wooden cloth and
place it on the hot tin. Wrap it well
over and it will quickly recover. If
any duck is subject to repeated cramp
it is best killed.
Ducks suffer very much from fright
and it will frequently produce cramp.
1t is quite usual for large ducks to ar
rive at the end of journey complete
ly crippled by fear. If they are kept
very warm and warm food and water
given, they will always recover, though
| have known people to kill valuable
ducks because they were considered
helplessly lame. Sometimes the owl
duct slips down and though there is a
treatment for this it is better to kill
the bird Immediately. 1t will be per-
fectly wholesome for food. If a lay
ing duck is hurried or frightened an
egg may be broken inside it and it
must be killed at once. 1t will be in
first rate condition for table. A duck
can lay perfect eggs during day,
and if these happen to be in the egg
passage at once and the duck hurried
or over-exerts itself one or more of
the eggs will be easily broken. 1t is
much better not to doctor sick birds.
AS a rule, if the stock is unrelated
and reasonably cared for there will be
no sickness. In .doctOring mild trou-
bles like cramp or roup. the birds must
not be removed from the shed where
they are accustomed to live or they
will die of fear.

A CHANGE In
ATTORNEYS
The Santa Fe Interests Assign a
Bright Young Man For the
Prescott Office.

An article in the Los Angeles Times
on the Dist announces a number OF
changes in the legal departments of
the Santa Fe railroad company, in
one of which at least, many Arizonans
are interested. Paul Burks of Los
Angeles is on the first of the year to
become assistant attorney for the rail
road company in Arizona, succeeding
U. T. CIotfelter of Prescott who will
succeed to Mr.. Burk's former pos. ton
in the general offices in Los Angeles,
the exchange being a mutual arrange
ment between the men to best serve
the interests of both.
During his residence in Prescott
MIR. Clotfelter has frequently visited
this city and has made wide acquain-
lance in the territory. He has proved
himself very capable attorney and a
most agreeable gentleman and there
are many who will regret his depart
ure from the territory. Concerning
the changes the Times says:
Paul Burks and U. 7. Clotfelter are
by mutual agreement to exchange
places, the former becoming the as
sistant attorney for Arizona, with
headquarters at Prescott, and the lat
ter to take the place held by Burks in
the general offices. Clotfelter recent
ly arrived from Arizona and Burks is
to leave on his new duties the first OF
the year.
Burks was admitted to the practice
of law in 1896 and has gained the re-
putatiOn Of being one of the hardest
workers among the younger attorneys
of the city. He has been connected
with the Santa Fe law department for
three years, during which time he has
successfully handled much of the rail
roads business before the board of
supervisors and other city and county
committees. His new duties in Arizona
will offer him a much wider field.
cit is my chance to win my white
alley and l am going to play marbles, 5"

terday.

large part of his time to outdoor re-
creation ard with the members of his
family and personal friends, VIII walk

the president has been under i heavy

opinion of old white house employees
no president has ever received so
many persons as has Roosevelt during
the past month.

THE EVIL OF
BRACE GAMBLING
When Conducted on That Order the
People Will Resist and Wipe
Such Out.

In every portion of Arizona today
with the exception of Prescott, there
is open hostility to the maintenance
of public gambling. This is due TO
the prevalence OF belief that in the
sections affected the "tin horn" ele-
ment, in one capacity or another has
persisted in the under handed practice
of giving himself the best and the
player on the outside the worst of the
game. In Tucson such has been the
rule, and after patience ceased to be d
virtue the people took the reins in
their hands and the result is that the
legitimate element in supporting life
must 60 with the bad. In Phoenix,
such is not practically the situation.
In the later city there is a character
of population that is and always be
open in their antogonism to either
gambling or the selling of liquor in
any public manner. The crusade in
that city is being conducted on moral
grounds, and not on the basis of al
legged thievery as was manifested in
the Tucson election.
There is no Disgusting one fact in

Changes Are
Slated in Our Of
fetal Life.
RrOdie Will Go to the Army as
General and MCCIintOCk Will
Step into the GOvernOrship -The
Appointments Will Soon Be Made.

Washington, Dec. % Especial From
private sources it was learned today
that President Roosevelt has several
political changes in store for Arizona
men. 1t is asserted that the president
will appoint Governor Alexander o.
Brodie brigadieI general of the reg
ular army and will name j. Ii. Nc
Clintock governor of the territory.
Colonel McClintock was twice wound
ed in the Rough Riders engagement at
San Juan. He ~as last year president
of the Rough Riders Reunion associa-
ton.
1t is believed that while Governor
Brodie desires no political preferment
he would not refuse promotion IN the
regular army in which he served for
years after graduating from West
Point.
Before leaving for Arizona Governor
Brodie was interviewed by Post re-
porter, and in answer to the reports
in circulation be would neither deny
nor affirm that his military ambition
was centered in what was in circula
ton, saying that he was the governor
of the territory and that he would
continue such relationship until the
expiration of his term, which does not
expire for some months yet. Notwith
standing this, prominent military
man of the general staff confides to a
friend that after the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt the first military
appointment sent to the senate will
be that of the Arizona Rough Rider,
who was the ranking major of the
regiment In addition to a feeling of
strong comradeship, Nj. Roosevelt
says openly that it was to the ability
aud the stragetic accomplishments Of
Colonel Brodie that in a great measure
was due the initial successes of the
memorable battle of San Juan, and
later this was exemplified by general
officers in command following out a
! line Vi dGllOu lHdI tcEiIlIdLcu 81 euO-
cessfully.
Colonel McCIintock is also said to
be near to the president, and was ap-
pointed postmaster of the capital city
of Arizona without any solicitation.
Mr.. McClIntock was originally slated
for a consulship, and in accepting the
present office he holds, such was the
wish of the president until an oppor-
tuntity was created for a better one.
Many Arioznans in the city are en-
/ phatic in saying that the promotion of
the governor is an absolute fact, and
the fact of him being a graduate Of
West Point, and resigning to pursue
civil duties, and later reentering the
volunteer service under General
Wood and the president, clearly out,
! lines the belief that Mr.. Brodie will

again after an absence of over twenty
. five years

connection with the land frauds of this
state, which are being investigated by
agents of the government. Prescott
ing Attorney Heney for the govern

years in public gambling conditions.
Any man who would ego against
many of the bank or short card games
has had swift run for his money, in
fact he was as helpless to protect
himself as a new born baby was capa-
BILE of walking. The reform movement
under these conditions that Is now
striking so hard at the principle of
gambling, is not to be decried or
dlssuaded from.
The illegitimate element have cruel
fed not only themselves, but also
those who invest their money in legiti-
mate avenues.
So far as Prescott is to figure in the
controversy, we believe there is no
possibility of the people here taking
any action along the lines as laid out
in the other towns. 1t is an indispu-
table fact that the open games in this
city are today and have been for years,
with a few exceptions) conducted on
what is inelegantly termed IAN even
break, - or in other words, the player
has seldom received the "worst'' of it.
By preserving this order we do not
believe there will be any occasion to
wipe oat the many.
As long as gambling is honestly
conducted, and while men will persist
in following it, it would be advisable
to leave we'll enough alone and until
conditions financially in this county
warrant the elimination of it.
