POINTS FOR DUCK RAlsERS
Some Don'ts and Other Things
Which Will Be Worth Your
Remembering.

Don't attempt to catch the ducks by
their legs 1t is much safer to handle
them by the neck.
Don't reduce their weight by taking O
lamp among them at night.
Never throw dry lime in duck pen;
it kills.
Never select the largest duck eggs for
Matching; they are usually infertile.
Never set hen on duck eggs in dry
shed unless you moisten the nest twice
weekly.
Always provide plenty of carbonate
and phosphate of lime to assist shell
making. This is found in oyster shell.
Keep plenty of coarse sand, old NOR
tar and little charcoal in box for lay
ing ducks.
Keep ducks away from the brook at
nighttime, otherwise you will lose many
eggs.
To breed the most healthy ducklings.
avoid the heavy, fattened show birds
which lay but few eggs, and those are
usually infertile Show ducks are al
most useless to breed from. 1t spoils
them for that purpose.
Never hurry the laying ducks. It
usually Injuries them; sometimes seris
ously When handling ducks, never
hold them by the wing.
When sickness attacks ducks, it is
useless to doctor. The best remedy for
duck ailments is plenty of sliced raw
onion in the mash, and an absolutely
dry. soft bed.
When you desire Runner ducks for
egg production, have four to five ducks
with an unrelated drake; two ducks and
one drake usually produce too large
percentage of brakes, and they don't pay
to fatten.
Feed we'll your market ducks let
them have their fill-up to ten weeks.
1t costs about five cents for each pound
of duck flesh.
Ducks should never be permitted to
run with fowls. They both do best in
pens by themselves.
When fowls and ducks are allowed to
drink from the same vessel, look out for
disease.-H. V. Hawkins.

Thanksgiving Points Which Are Well
Worth Observation-Disclosures
ply for the Gobbler.

1t is wise turkey that knows when
to diet.
a turkey on your own table is worth

Beauty unadorned-A well-dresseG

AT Thanksgiving time the key to the
situation is turkey.
Tha hand that carves the turkey is

Never look a gift turkey in the giz-

leader of the gang by natural selec-
ton, as the rest all deferred to him.
He watched Milly with a curious In
tentness, which brought flush to her
check and made her slightly uncom-
Portable.
You're mighty comfortably fixed lor

looking about the walls with their
homely prints and ornaments.

pride.

she simply took all responsibility into

enabled me to come here. It's her bit

money bad enough, but if it hadn't

Miily blushed deeply and becomingly

she, with snap of her brown fingers.
"All the money in the world would be
worthless to me if l didn't have Jim. .
"I've heard saying about a good
wife being treasure" Blaisedale re-
marked. Your wife proves the truCh
of it,"
The dinner was great success.
| Blaisedale, who seemed to exert a mys-
terious influence over his fellows, grew
very talkative and entertaining He
told stories of queer places and queer
er people which savored of familiarity
which kept Jim breathlessly interested
until the eight strange guests maze
their adieus. When the company had
! filed out of the little cabin door Blaise-
dale, who was last to go, turned at The
threshold and held out his hand to
Milly.
you remind me of some one once
knew" he said, simply, "and for her
sake I'd like to shake hands with you.
Thank you for your hospitality. You
won't regret your kindness, by the
way"
"Queer fellow, that one" Jim re-
marked, as he watched the gang recedc
down the wintry road. you may be
sure he has a strange history behind
| him."
That night when Jim and Milly sat
| talking beside their cheerful hearth, q
scrap of white paper crept mysterious
ly under the door. Jim rose hurried
| ly and threw back the door, but no one
was in sight, and not sound broke
the deep stiffness of the icy night.
Miily read the note over his shoul-
der, and this is what 1t said:
"Scme curious whim prompts me To
tell you that 1t was our intention 20

"My dear madam, are you much
hurt?" he asked.
Il guess not" was the response
in a shaky voice. The speaker, girl
somewhat past twenty, sat up and
then blushed deeply. Her pau was in
tatters, and even her skirts were torn
from the haw bushes through which
she had passed.

would be impossible for you to ride
down those crags anyway. Do you feel
as though you could walk now"
81 think So" was the brave reply. He
gave her both hands, and she rose to
her feet, wincing, however, with pain.
ooh, my footw she exclaimed.
"Will it bear your weightT

of her efforts the tears came to her
eyes. A few agonizing steps were tax
en-, Osborne assisting with distressed
countenance, and then pallor came
over the girls face and she would
have fallen if he had not caught her
and lowered her gently to the ground.
I'm poor cripple, I'm afraid" she
said, looking up, with a feeble smile.
Osborne made the round of the ledge
again, looking for some place where it
would be safe for her to ride down.
Then he came back and sat down by
her side.
"My dear lady" he said, 81 knew

called old Necessity Can you guess
why?"

'Why, Necessity knows no law"
The girl laughed. what do you tell

I've no right to; but, necessity you

''Oh, no; you mustn't
Il know l mustn't, but you see I've
got to. 1 don't expect you to consent"
But really you can't. I'm anything
but light"
"Oh, can't l? Well see about that"
He took the saddle down first and
fastened it firmly on her beast, and
then, without ceremony, picked up the
young lady and bore her to the edge OF
the ledge.
"Now," he said, 'hold fast to my
shoulder, so 1 can have my arm free
for clutching the rocks. No, you'll lose
your hold that way. Put it around my
neck"
Her horse and then his own were
safely gained, and side by side they
rode down the mountain, down out of
the cloud into a fair dream country,
glorified by the ruby rays of the sink
ing sun. Osborne, however, gave the
landscape scant heed; his eyes were
drawn to the face of the lady. 1t was
an attractive one by nature, and it had
besides a look of refined directness that
drew him. A frank sincerity looked

"What do you suppose she's gone
for?" the girl asked.
ITO head Off annexation probably,
and my best wishes go with her"
"May I ask" said Osborne, why
you are opposed to annexation? I see
why we Americans should think twice
about it. but why should you?"
Because there's nothing in it for US
but restriction. Americas bound to
protect us anyway-she can't afford to
do anything else-and she let's our
sugar in free of duty. That's all we
want. Annexation now means shar-

marking, You said Mr.. Osborne was

Eyes; 1 hope you don't doubt it."
"Oh far from it,"
Ebert smilingly set to work to justi-
fy his position, arguing that the pros
perity of the upper classes was bound
up with that of the common people;
that high wages meant multitudes of
purchasers and activity in all lines of
business. The banker responded with
the usual poohpoohing of theories and
a very frank claim that the welfare of
society lay in the prosperity of the cap
italist class. Wealth and power, he
maintained, were for those who could
get them and knew how to use them.
As for the others, let them know their
place, and if they didn't why, rod for
the FOOLS back. Osborne recalled aft

discussion with close attention, adding

Through her fathers repeated invita-

esting wahine in the fortnight that fol-
lowed, and through their good offices he
was soon moving freely on the gener-
