Colored 'Rouen Ducks.

Colored Rouen ducks are becoming
every year more popular In this coun.
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
we're exported to this country. The
Rouen duck Is a fine market bird, but
does not mature so early as do the
Pekins and the Aylesburys. It is
hardy and prolific and has a quiet dis
position. 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 eight
pounds.

Senator Quay's two charming daugh-

clety, either in Washington or else
where. They have a beautiful home
IN the national capital and another in
Florida, but would rather live at the
old homestead in Beaver, Pa, than
either Of the others. 1t Is an old
fashioned place, roomy and comfort
able, almost within sight of the church
where the senator's father used to
preach long ago. At one time "Dicli"
Quay, the son, thought he rather fan
cied society. Then the fine old stock
showed and he got married and made
a power of himself in the steel and
tin plate world, instead Of a graceful
figure leading a cotilion. 1t is be-
lieved the senator is able to. leave a
million to each member Of his family.

Spring filters can be handled 10 ad-
vantage, as they can have the run Of
grass and clover lots, In addition to
the pasturage, little soft food should

the feeding ration. Charcoal may DO
