A corpulent man with a red face

Miss Sanborn's Ducks.

Miss Kate Sanborn, who has writ
ten much on the abandoned farms of
New Hampshire, tells of an experience
she had in raising ducks. The ducks
proved to be enormous feeders and
were consuming the profits of the farm
without making the expected returns
in eggs. One day the ducks were at
the kitchen door clamoring for more
food when an old farmer called.
To him Miss Sanborn told the story
of her failure to coax the ducks to
lay. The farmer laughed uproariously
and finally said:
Them ducks of yours, Miss San
born, is all brakes"
