SMART DUCK IN NEW ROLE
Raised Brood Of Chickens and Taught
Them TO Swim in Short
Time.

/ have seen a pet duck raise 4
brood of chickens, and before thel
were two weeks old she had then
we'll versed in duck language, anC
had them taught how to swim
says a writer in Forest ant
Stream. The reason | have for be
lieving that they understand duch
language is this; That if a hawl
or crow flew near she would give
one harsh quack and every one OF
the chicks would scud away into
the woods, and after the danger
was past she would give five OF
six gentle quaeks and out they
would come without the least ap-
pearance Of fear.
But the greatest performance
was the way she impressed it on
their minds that it was time they
learned to swim. One foggy, cold
morning, early in the spring, when
they were about a week old,
heard her using some of the worst
duck language that / ever heard
and the chicks were yelling all
kinds of bloody murder. ran out
to learn what was the trouble, and
there she was at the edge of the
water, grabbing the chicks in her
mouth and throwing them in the
river, and they were scrambling
out so fast that she never had
more than one-half of the brood in
the water at one time. / knew
that the water and the weather
we're sc cold that she would have
them so chilled in a short time
that they would all die, SO / shut
her up in the coop and kept her
there for several days.
When | again let her out she
took the chickens to the water and
gave them another lesson in swim
ming, and she repeated this sew
eral times a day, and in three or
four days she had them educated
so that when she would 20 into
the water and call to them to come
along they did so without any hes
itation. She apparently had sense
enough not to keep them in the
water long at a time, and that /
ca reasoning, for it certainly was
not instinct.

stopped in st. Louis a few days
ago, and in the course of an ad.
dress advised the Italians who
come to this country to take W
farming.
"The Italian immigrant, fresh
from the shores Of Italy, gets into
New York first, because nearly all
the ships enter at that port" said
Baron des Planches. "He is uned-
ucated, usually, and has but little
money after he has paid his
passage. He begins work imme-
diately, and takes up anything his
hands find to do. Sometimes he
gets to backing boots or push
ing a banana cart. The pay is
small and he has little opportu
nifty of improving his mind, His
children are brought up in the
streets, and they follow in their
fathers footsteps. Occasionally
an Italian will have enough money
TO get to some other city.
"What l desire is to induce
these Italians in the cities to go
to the country. There laborers
are wanted, especially in the
south, There is a great oppor-
tunity for Italians in truck-farm-
ing, fruit raising and general ag-
ricHlture in the south. Land is
cheap and may be obtained and
paid Tor in a few years. The inn

finds a chance to send his children

want them to have respect for the
laws and in other ways so conduct
themselves that they may reap
the great advantages offered in
this country. advise all Italians
coming here to become Americans
as soon as possible and to do as
the Americans do. In this way |
feel that they will not be looked
down upon. Some day, when l am
dead, some of them may think of
the time that des Planches sent
them to the country, and they may
give him thanks. That is all the
