AMERICAN GRAIN WANTED.

POINTS FOR DUCK RAISERS
Some Don'ts and Other Things
Which Will Be Worth Your
Remem bering.

Don't attempt TO catch the ducks by
their legs. IL is much safer to handle
them by the neck
Don't reduce their weight by taking a
lamp among them AT night
Never throw dry lime in a duck pen:
Il kills.
Never select the largest duck eggs for
Matching: they are usually inferule
Never set hen ON duck eggs in a dry
shed unless you moisten the nest twice
weekly.
Always provide plenty OF carbonate
and phosphate OF lime 90 assist shell
making This is found In oyster shell.
Keep plenty OF coarse sand. old NOR
tar and little charcoal in a box for lay
ing ducks.
Keep ducks away from the brook at
nighttime, otherwise you will lose many
eggs
Ducks should always be locked in at
night. and kept on an absolutely dry.
soft floor. They lay best, and the eggs
are easily gathered
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. IL spoils
them for that purpose.
Never hurry the laying ducks. It
usually Injuries them; sometimes seri-
Ousiy. When handling ducks. never
hold them by the wing.
When sickness attacks ducks. IL 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 a
percentage OF brakes. and they don't pay
10 fatten.
Feed well your market ducks; let
them have their fill-up TO ten weeks.
IL costs about five cents for each pound

Ducks should never be permitted 10

Change at Marble Works.

A change was effected last Friday
by which the Willmar Marble Works,
hitherto owned and operated by Hal
vor Shipstead, becomes the property
OF co-partnership, consisting of Mr..
Shipstead and Paul and Knut John
son, of Montevideo. The two last
named gentlemen have been connected
with the Montevideo Marble Works
for the past ii years and are men of
much experience and ability in their
line OF work. They have purchased
q residence in the FIRST ward, where
they will make their future home.
Mr.. Shipstead has been conducting
the monument business in this city for
q number of years and he has always
been known as an honest and thor
oughly reliable business man. The
name of the new firm will be Shipstead
& johnson Bros.
Although it may sound rather grue-
some to wish the new firm a large and
prosperous business, yet we do so,
realizing that it hapdles commodity
for which there is such general de.
mand.

Bouquets for WiIImar Firms.

The Kerkhoven Banner, in its write.

has the following to SAY regarding
those who had to do with it's con-
struction:
The building was erected by Olson
& Skoo]heim, Willmar's leading con-
tractors. They did their work we'll
and from start to finish showed dis.
position TO do good work and put in
ss good or better material than was
specified by the architects. Both
members Of the firm are skilled work.
men, Mr.. Olson being a mason and
Mr.. Skoolheim carpenter, making a
combin alton that works we'll in the
building line. We heartily commend
them to anyone who has something in
the building line they want done.
The steam heating plant for the
building was put in by the j. 81.
Virgins Co., of Willmar. The work
done by this firm is also entirely salts
factory. The heating apparatus keeps
the building comfortably warm in the
coolest kind OF weather without any
trouble whatever. Mr.. Virgins
thoroly understands the work of in
stalling heating plants and people
who have any work In that line to do
will make no mistake if they give him
the job.

Willmar has been scheduled to meet
the former while Minneapolis will try
to defeat the latter. The date and
place for the next debate has not been
set ss yet but it is probable that it
will take place here on March 10 or
March II. Breckenridge has strong
