Pekin Ducks.

FSkin buCkS.
The Pekin ducks take the lead over
all other ducks, first, on account OF
their rapid growth. If they are prop
erly cared for they can be made to
weigh five pounds at ten weeks old.
and can be marketed when prices are
the highest. Second, on account OF
their strong, healthy frames and long
bodies there is never anything amiss
with them. They should have plenty
of water to drink, but do not need any
to swim in. Care should be taken that
they always have plenty of sharp grit
where they can get it. | usually keep
box of grit in their drinking dishes.
Here in the west ducks are not
mated until about February 1st, but
the eastern breeders have large droves
of young ducks by that time. They
raise them for the New York and
Boston markets, where the people
have had their taste educated to like
green duck. The people of Chicago
have not yet reached the point where
they are willing to pay eastern prices
for green duck.
/ try to have my ducks begin laying
in February. Most of the eggs first
layed are not very fertile. To obviate
this difficulty l generally set two
ducks at a time. If part of the eggs
are infertile, this can be found out
by testing them and the fertile eggs
put in one incubator, if he is using
incubators. February is not too early
to commence incubation. My first
feed is infertile eggs chopped fine
with bread crumbs, to which is added
little chick grit After about week
I take johnny cake, made from one
half shorts, one-half corn meal, which
I feed about one more week. l then
take about one-third corn meal, one
third bran and one-third shorts, and
use these for the feed. We cannot
always get bran or shorts here. l
have had brakes hatched about July
10th weigh ten pounds early in Decem-
ber.
There is no class of poultry so
easily raised, nor is there anything in
the animal kingdom that can be turned
into money as quickly as ducks. They
never have lice except head lice. We
always put little grease on their
heads. Bees will kill ducks if they
run where there is white clover. They
will catch the bees and the latter will
sting them in the throat. This causes
suffocation. Ducks not yarded nights
will run themselves to death moon
light nights.-Mrs. Charles Jones, Illi-
nOis.

passengers on an immigrant train on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were
killed or injured in a collision Mon
day between the passenger train and
a freight near Woodville, Ind.
One hundred and sixty-five passen-

forty-seven were either killed out
right or were burned to death In the
fire which broke out in the wreckage
Immediately after the collision. The
names of all OF the dead will probably
never be known, as forty-five OF the
bodies were consumed in the flames
or were so badly burned that identi-
fcation is impossible.
Thirty-eight people were injured,
and several OF these VIII die. Eighty
others escaped unhurt. but lost near
ly all their baggage and clothing.
The disaster was caused by a blum
der OF some employee of the railroad
company, but just where the blame
lies has not as yet been determined.
The passenger train, which was load
ed with Russian Jews, Servians and
Poles, all OF them recent arrivals in
this country. and bound for Chicago
or places I'm the northwest was the
second section of through train
from Baltimore. which collided with
a freight train, which had left the
side track after the first section
passed and started down the main
line at full speed. The two trains
came together with unslackened
speed and In the crash six passenger
coaches and several freight cars were
knocked into kindling wood and to-
gether with the locomotives went roll

portion of the Philadelphia mint, is
coming silver half dollars, quarters
and dimes at present and this will
continue for at least three months
MORE" said George E. Roberts, direc-
tor of United States minis, in an in
terview here.
There is an unprecedented demand
for silver money of these denomina-
tons throughout the country at pres
ent that the government cannot begin
to cope with.
SILVER is high and is going to go
higher" declared Mr. Roberts at
will reach so before it stops and be-
lieve that within two years it will go
to rs. 1t Is II and a little more at
present. A part of the mint at Phila-
delphia is working with copper and
nickel at present, but outside this
every mint in the country is working
night and day on silver half dollars,
quarters and dimes No gold Is being
coined at present and none will be for
three months. The total coinage for
the year will run very high, possibly
over 100000, 000."
Asked why paper money of 81 and
So bill denominations are not more
generally circulated in the west, Mr..
Roberts said:
1.-THE principal reason is that west
ern bankers and others sending east
for money, If they ask for paper
money, must pay the express charges
on it. If they order silver the govern
ment pays the charges. This is the
secret of the immense circulation Of
silver in your own state and other
western states"

FARMERS SON SOLVES
DREAM OF INVENTORS
Takes Electricity From the Air to Fur
nish Power for Practical Motor.
Secret Sought for Years by In
ventors.

New York-South Dakota cities are
supplied with electric lights, the
power for which is generated by arte-
sian wells; farm machinery is run by
motors, and turbine wheels operated
by the gushing wells between the Mis-
souri, and James rivers, but it has also
been left to South Dakota farmer to
discover that enough electricity may
be taken from the air above the buttes
to furnish the power which will run
electric lights. thrashing machines
and water pumps.
Such discovery is one of the mar
vels of the electrical world and
dream of inventors for decades, but
John H. Stranhan, son of a well-to-do
farmer near Miller, s. D., has made
the discovery, and from Sully buttes
may be seen number of tandem box
kites, while half way to the earth on
a No. 4 copper wire, hangs strange
white box the size of beehive.
From the copper wires which de-
scend from this box enough electrical
energy is secured to run the motors
with which the Stranhan home is
lighted, feed grinder and threshing
machine operated, and a big electrical
pump which pours water into irrigat-
ing bitches.
