Green Duck Goinu Up.

There is an organization known as
the Long Island Duck Raisers' associa-
ton, and about thirty Of the members,
including few from Jersey and Penn
sylvania, met in New York recently to
decide on the next selling campaign.
Green duck will be higher than ever
next season. Cost of labor and feed
have gone up, and the growers must
have more money for their products,
says American Poultry Journal. The
growers get IA to 16 cents per pound
for their output and the retailer % to
30 cents. There is considerable talk
of the growers installing their own
stores and cutting the middleman off.
The public will buy ducks because of
the beef investigation, and it lies with
the growers to raise their price to the
middleman and have the latter raise
on the consumers Or cut out the mid
dleman altogether.

Diarrhea In Fowls.

Dfarrhea is caused by either the
quantity of the food, the quality of
the food or of the drinking water or
the atmospheric conditions to which
the bird has been exposed. In the
treatment of this class of diseases it
is especially important that the cause
should be sought and removed. See
that the birds are comfortable and not
exposed to drafts, cold or dampness.
Give pure drinking water and regulate
the food. Allow small quantities of
mash or cooked food. with some chop
ped beef. Put handful of oatmeal
in the drinking water or give boiled
milk for drink. Give a tablespoonful
of olive oil as a laxative to carry off
any irritating matter that may be in
the intestines, then follow with one
half. to one grain of bicarbonate of
soda and two grains Of subnitrate Of
bismuth in little water three times
a day.

Ancient Breton Custom.

In Brittany quaint and very
beautiful custom of Christmas CIV
ing is still preserved from very an
cient times. When the country folk
go to the midnight mass, the open
ing mass of Christmas day, they all
carry lanterns to light them on
their way. Upon their arrival at
the church they give their lanterns
over to the poor old women of the
parish, who are gathered in crowd
outside the church awaiting them.
The worshipers enter the sacred
building and then attend to the de-
votions, which the church teaches
should be of especial fervor at this
holy season. But when the mass
is ended and they are dismissed with
the benediction they come forth to
find the patient old women awaiting
them outside the church bearing the
lanterns. The lanterns are given
back to their owners, and as each
takes his own he exchanges for it
piece of money. The value of the
piece varies, but the aims is always
considerable.

He Knew Mrs. Barker.

The Barkers possessed three
large, intelligent tortoise shell cats,
and sometimes as many as three
families of kittens. Mrs. Barker
was much too tender hearted to
drown or chloroform the superfuous
kittens, yet she could not keep them
all; consequently she devoted much
time and thought to finding happy
homes for the tortoise shell progeny.
One spring the daughter of a neigh
Dor, who had moved some years
previously to another town, hap
pened to pay Mrs. Barker a visit.
As. the little visitor was about to
depart, Mrs. Barker exclaimed sud-
denly:
sBy the way, Alice, wouldn't you
like a kitten to take home with
you?".
sI'd like it" returned Alice, visit
fully, s'but the very last thing father
said when I came away was, Alice,
whatever else you do, don't bring
home any CATS" youths Com

Chicks and CackleS.

In the United States corn is ia
vorite feed for chickens, though. as
Professor Wheeler states, common
grains 'seem practically interchange
able and many grain byproducts can
be freely substituted for different
whole grains or for each other and all
combined as desired"
Linseed meal is a byproduct Of the
manufacture Of oil from faxseed.
''Old process" contains somewhat more
oil than new process" linseed meal
and is, perhaps, on that account a little
better to use, but both are excellent.
Experiments have proved that excess

The value of n silo is hardly known:
in some of our dairy districts. Many
farmers in the dairy business, when
one speaks to them about silo, will
say it is easy enough to talk silo OF
paper, but it is not profitable to build
one.
I will say that the economy in feed
ing a COW is not in saving feed. Tie
more you can get her to eat and digest
the more she will make for her keeper.
If you feed little you lose the value
of that, but if you feed generously 81,
makes you q profit.
The first thing is to procure feed and
a place to keep it. In having silo
your feed is cut and put in at a time
when it is in the best condition.-KiIn,

Test the Egg. Under Hens.

I have been using hens as well as
incubators and consider it just as es-
sential and profitable to test the eggs
under the hens as the incubators, says
Kate Thyson Marr in Poultry Success.
The advantages are that the hen is,
when relieved of the infertile eggs,
less liable to tramp the chicks, since
the nest is not so full. Again, If the
eggs are not, valuable and one has set
three hens, for instance, the good eggs
can in most cases be given to two hens
and the other reset, thus saving two
weeks of the hens time.

shape, f1atten a little at the big end
and cut to fit snugly up to the eye to

BELLS ARE VERY ANCIENT.
They Were Known to the Egyptiana
Before the Exodus.


Before the Exodus.
Bells were well known to the
Egyptians before the time of the
Jewish exodus. In the description
of Aaron's sacerdotal robe mention
is made of the fact that upon the
hem of the garment there were bells
of gold, alternating with pome-
granates of blue, of purple and of
scarlet: "a golden bell and pome-
granate, golden bell and pome-
granate, upon the hem of the robe
around about. And it shall be upon
Aaron to minister, and his sound
shall be heard when he goeth in
unto the holy place before the Lord,
and when he cometh out, that he
die not" Hand bells were in COM
mon use all over the ancient world.
The earliest use of bells in churchss
was for the purpose of frightening
away the evil spirits which were be-
ieved to infest earth and air, and
the earliest curfew was rung at
nightfaH to rid the neighborhood of
the village or town and church of
demons.
Most old churches of Europe
have a small door on the north side,
and at certain points in the service
this door was opened, and a bell
was rung to give notice to the devil,
if he chanced to be present, that he
might make his exit before the ele-
walton. By the command of Pope
John TX. church bells were rung as
a protection against thunder and
lightning. The monument of Por-
sena, the Etrurian king, was decor
ated with pinnacles, each surmount-
ed with a bell, which tinkled in the
breeze. The army of Clothaire
raised the siege Of Sens on account
of a panic ,occasioned among the
men by a sudden chime from the
bells Of St. Stephens church. The
largest bell in the world is in the
Kremlin at Moscow. It's weight is
$50 tons, and the value Of the bell
metal alone, not counting the gold
and silver ornaments which were
thrown into the pots as votive offer
ings, is estimated at e66,565, or
about $685., 1926.

port of DR.. Maud Allen, a Port
land girl who is now mission
ary in India
On this occasion fifteen
ladies from Albany were pres
ent at the meeting and a large
number of ladies from Corvallis
were also in attendance, the total
mum Der of guests reaching Is or

Miss Lulu Spansler; duet, Mrs.
Bush, Mrs. Taylor; recitation,
Miss Laura Pratt; piano solo,
Miss Draper; and Iemarks by

Taken to Old Folks Home.

James Mckay of the vicinity
of Corvallis was taken to the
old folks home at Portland yes
terday by his son. Mr.. Mckay
was 1oI years old the 27th day of
last August. He was born in
county Antrim, the north of Ire
land and married a Miss Murray,
sister of John Murray who lost
his life iu a hotel fire in Corvallis
IN April 1873.
William Mckay, who is now
of Independence, a son, was
sheriff of Benton county for two
years. Michael, another son, re-
sides in Lincoln county, and Mrs.
Jane McGee of Corvallis is a
daughter with whom the old
gentleman has resided for many
years.
Since the death of John Nc
Gee in September there has
been no one who dould take csre
of the aged man as he should be
cared for, and because of her in
ability to wait upon him, Mrs.
MCGEE and the other children
decided that Mr.. Mckay would
be better off in the home, con.
clusion that resulted in his re-
nova, thete today, as stated.
In spite OF his extreme old age,
Mr.. Mckay gets around fairly
we'll, while his mind is quite Wig

Cooling the Milk.

Immediately after the milk is sep-
arated the cream should be cooIeu
down to the temperature of good co!d
well water This can be done by sci
ting the cream can in a tub of water
and stirring the cream until it is o:
the same temperature as the water.
The water must be changed occasion
ally to keep the cream at this tempera-
ture until ready for shipping. 1t does
no particular good to cool the cream
and then allow it to become warm
again before shipping.

these can be pushed about at will into
any portion of the yard or farm where
it is desirable to have it placed. When
this brooder is in position, protecting
yards may be thrown around it to pro-
tect the young chicks from all kinds of
dangers which might oyertake them.
The only danger not provided against
in this manner is the rain storms, but

ROSE, AVERAGED 3S4 POUNDS BUTTER FAT.
gest record for one year was the enor
nous yield of 5SO.6 pounds of butter
fat, G77.3 pounds, or more than one

In the same herd is another cow
bearing the unearned title of Queen.
and she has another record-a six
years record of 152 pounds butter fat
or 1G7 pounds of butter per year
While this is almost a fourth better
than the average cow in the United
States, yet Rose produced two and a
half times as much butter fat as
Queen for that long period. And in an
exact comparison for one year Rose
made more than three times as much
butter fat rs Queen from exactly the
same feed. both in kinds and amount
and with the same care.
Rose was purchased by the Illinois

Queen. But this does not represent
the difference between these cows to
q man in the practical dairy business.
If the market price of feed is such
that it costs $50 per year to keep a

Queen would return an annual profit
of So and Rose a profit of SCI, or as
