10000 FAT DUCKS
N. BERKELEY TELLS OF
VIRGINIA FOWL FARM.
A Farm Near Roanoke on Which
10000 Ducks Are Kept Growing
At the End Of the Eighth Week
They Are Placed on the Market
Fowls Are Forced From the Time
They Leave the Incubator Until
They Are Marketed.

Twenty thousand ducks in one
flock, confined on a regular duck
farm, and in all stages of growth.
from the egg to the mature duck
ready for the roasting pan, is one of
the sights that n. Berkeley saw,
while on his recent trip to Virginia,
and Washington. d. C.
The duck farm was being conduct
ed near Norfolk, Va, and was a
model of its kind. There was a sup
ply of 10000 fowls on hands at all
times, in every stage of growth. from
'the incubator to the S-weeks-old bird,
fat and plump and ready for the
oven.
The ducks were Matched in incu-
Datsrs at the rate of about $500 per
week, and every two weeks the Young
birds were advanced from one pen
into another, as they grew and be-
came strong. until at the end of the
eighth week, they were picked and
dressed and marketed, as fine speci-
mems of poultry as could be found in
any market.
The Roanoke river is especially
adapted to duck culture, having num-
erous sloughs, bayous and ponds
along the banks, which afford an
ideal climate and surroundings for
the fowls. The farm was elegantly
fitted for the purpose and was one of
the curiosities of the state.
The young birds were forced"
from the time they left the shell OF
the egg until they were packed in the
boxes for market at the end of the
eighth week, and while they would
not attain full growth in that time
under normal conditions, yet they
were so stuffed ana crowded by ar
tificial processes and by specially
prepared foods and careful treat
s1ent, that they appeared to be full
grown and fat and were sold as rap
idly as they could be packed and
shipped.
A favorite dish in Washington city.
and in fact in all the Atlantic coast
cities is roast duck, and the market
prices quoted in the current numbers
of the papers from those cities show
that dressed ducks during the holi-

The committee on conferences and
congresses for the Lewis and Clark
centennial exposition is making plans
for an educational conference to be
held at some time during the period
of the fair. and to be representative
so far as possible, of the educational
work of the Pacific Northwest.
County superintendent of Schools
Frank X. Welles this morning receiv-
ed a circular letter from the COM
mittee on conferences and congresses
stating the object of such a meeting,
and requesting that he be present at
a conference to be held January IA.
A letter was also received from
State Superintendent of Public In
struction j. c. Ackerman. sanctioning
such a movement, and stating that a
meeting Of leading educators of the
Northwest is to be held in Portland
on January IA. to discuss the matter.
The letter from the committee
says; THE suggestion is made that
this educational conference shall be,
in fact, a joint session OF the state
teachers associations of as many of
the Pacific Northwest states as may
desire to join.
IF the state teachers associations
of Oregon. Idaho. Washington and
Montana will unite upon an equality
in calling this joint meeting. 1t is be-
lieved that two or three thousand
teachers will assemble, and in this
event, and with the corporation of
all concerned, II is certain that some
of the greatest educators of the world
can be procured to address the meet
ings."
The letter from Superintendent
Ackerman follows:
Supt. Frank K. welles,
Pendleton, oregon.
Dear Sir: A movement is on foot
to hold, during the Lewis and Clark
fair, series of congresses, one of
which is to be a congress on educa-
tion. The speakers are to be among
the best that can be secured in the
United States. 1t has also been sug-
gested that such a congress might
take the place of the State Teachers
Association for 1905, and also, all or
in port of the county institutes to be
held during said year.
In order that the matter may be
fully discussed it has been thought
best to have conference Of the
leading educators of the state at

N, D. EXHIBIT IS GREATLY ADMIRED
Said to Be the Finest Collective Display at the
Minnesota State Fair

A correspondent at the Minnesota
state fair writes: The North Dakota
exhibit Of grains and grasses easily
SURPRISES any other collection at the
Minnesota state fair. Thousands Of
people call each day to inspect and
admire it. The flax exhibit excites
the greatest interest, and the ladies
are particularly attracted to that part
of the display. It's entertaining to
watch the people as they inspect the
grain. They appear to be surprised to
learn that North Dakota can produce
5srIch fine specimens of grain, and are
SILL more surprised when they dis
cover the variety of products shown,
and learn the yield Of these cereals.
Some Of the people, Principally Mime
sctians, cannot realize that the Flick
:ertaH state has such fertile soil.
party of ladies were passing
through and viewing the exhibit, when
one OF them remarked to the others:
N.Y. tbs is fine exhibit, and does
credit to the state of Minnesota. =
One of them replied, why this isn't
MiDnesota's exhibit, this is North
Dakota, " whereat, there was a general
laugh at the first lady's expense.
Quickly recovering from her mistake
she retorted: Il don't care, I'm loyal
TO- Minnesota but this Is the finest
grain exhibit in the agricultural build
ing This compliment coming from a
lady who was predudiced in favor OF
Minnesota was regarded as the index
to the prevailing opinion.
The alfalfa, macaroni wheat; in
fact, all the grain excites admiration
and calls forth many inquiries regard
ing the yield and the land on which 1t
was grown. z

.EIRST GUN FIRED

SCHEDULE OF DEMANDS 70 BE
MADE BY WORKERS IN AN
THRAclTE FIELD.
OF UNION AND AN
ElGHT-HouR DAY INCLUDED
IN NEW SCALE.

Philadelphia, Sept. ct can be
stated on the highest authority that
the convention of anthracite miners,
which will draft new demands for
presentation to the coal companies
on the expiration of the strike COM
missions award On April next, will
be held in Shamokin, between Dec. 5
and 10. It was learned here that the
convention will make the following
demands:
ttFfrst-A recognition of the miners
union by the coal operators, the rec
ognition to take the form of signed
agreement. .-.. ~ s-..
.Second-The substitution of an
eight-hour workday for the nine-hour
workday awarded by the strike COM
mission, which is now in force
throughout the hard coal fields.
.Third-An increase in pay over
the minimum wages now paid to men
and boys who are not contract miners
but are generally classed as unskilled
labor.
.FourthA uniform scale of wages
for workers not actually miners at all
collieries.,s,
y The contract miners number about
10000 In the total Of 100000 hard
coal workers in and about the mines.
If the Shamokin convention obtains
concessions as outlined in the fore
going schedule Of demands 1t would
mean large additional expenditure by
the coal companies annually in in
creased wages.

THE GREAT LAKES.

Duluth. Sept. 6. Eighteen or twenty
Lives were lost and property valued
ct 100000 was destroyed In the furi-
GUS storm that swept over Lake Supe-
rior. The gale was the most destruc-
tive to lake shipping that has been
experienced In many years. Besides
the wreck Of the steamer Sevona,
which broke In two on Sand Island
reef, seven Of the crew losing their
lives. It is now believed that two more
ships were lost with their entire
crews. One OF these is the schooner
Pretoria Of Bay City. Mich, the larg-
est sailing ship on fresh water and
carrying q crew of ten men. The other
lis believed to be the schooner Olive
Jeanette, which carried q crew Of
seven men.
Five of the Pretoria.s crew Of ten
were drowned by the capsizing of the
yawl In which the crew took refuge
when the boat began to founder. The
Olive Jeanette. It Is believed. went to
the bottom about ten miles from
Portage.

The oat exhibit is especially fine.
The large heads and long stems or
straws are gazed at with wonder. The
frequent inquiry is Are those strawsi
spliced?"
The visitors show an intelligent In
terest in the exhibit and the states;
resources. They are eager to know
all about the prevailing prices Of land,
the most desirable localities and al:
multitude Of other subjects which they
introduce, showing that they have had
North Dakota in view and are DESTROYS
of gathering all the information they
can respecting it.
Hundreds OF North Dakotans have.

and lent their assistance in landing
the coming state OF the west, and tell
ing Of the wonderful productions Of It's

It was unfortunate that greater
amount of space was not awarded
North Dakota, as only a little over
one-half Of the exhibit could be dis
played However, when such compe-
tent critics as Prot Shepperd, who
by the way, is one OF the grain Judges,
assert, to use his own language,
There is nothing in the building
Within gun-shDt of the North Dakota
exhibit" We should be content with
the limited space allotted.
It is surprising to see the great de-
mand for maps Of the state and the
folders issued by the agricultural de-
partment. The folder especially comes
in for favorable comment and hun
dreds have remarked that it is the
best advertising medium ever issued
by the state; in fact, is an encyclo-
pedia Of information and reliable
statistics.
