Raising Ducks,

The most frequent troubles with
ducks and geese is vertigo. They drop
down on their feet or fall on one side
suddenly, at times recovering as sud
denly or dying Immediately. This hap
pens only when ducks or geese are fed
too much grain. The best prevention IS
to make their feeding ground a pas
ture, where the grass is short but abun-
dant, and let them get more of their
subsistence for themselves. They will
require but little food after warm
weather comes, as they are then well
over the laying period, becoming non
producers. The nOnproducers should
have no grain. There Is a saving In
expense and there will be fewer losses
occurring from dlseases.-Poultry
Farmer.

1t is much easier to destroy birds
than insects, but as the number oc
birds Is reduced the insects multiply.
The wren is very useful bird, and
NAV be induced to remain near the
dwelling houses If boxes are provided
for tuem, but, as they are unable to
contend against English sparrows, the
entrance to the wren boxes should not
exceed an inch In diameter, as the
wren is very small and can only pro-
feet itself by going where the sparrow
cannot follow. Every encouragement
should be given birds by feeding them
and providing suitable places for their
nrotection and accommodation

Raising Pigeons.

1t Is not only In congregations OF
quadrupeds, such as hogs, cattle horses
! ETC., that we often find particularly
vicious specimens we also come across
them in flocks of poultry, among hens,
turkeys and even pigeons. There are
bullies and brutes in the pigeon as
well as human family. male pigeon
that is disposed to make himself n
nuisance in fighting other old birds and
killing squads might as well be re-
moved from the loft. If this Is not
practical, clip his wings and provide n
nest for the pair on the floor.
For mating pen get box and put
perpendicular Stats on the front and
through the middle. 1t should be large
enough to make each apartment IL or
10 inches square, and one of the Stats
or bowels In the partition should be
movable. The food and water vessels
may be hung on the partition so that
both birds may use them in common.
If out of sight Of their old mates 1t will
not take more than two or three days
for them to unite. The movable slat
can then be taken away, and If the
mating Is permanent they may be turn
ed into the loft to find nest.
Feeds for Pigeons-We like whole
wheat best Of all grains for pigeons.
But there are many other grains which
pigeons like and thrive on, among them
common peas, barley, buckwheat, cow
peas, soy beans, English horse beans,
the various kinds Of vetcn. broom corn.
sorghum seed, millet and many others.
A variety Is, of course, always relish
ed. Corn Is good feed when given in
moderate quantities, especially during
summer, and not as an exclusive diet
Pigeons also learn to eat boiled pota-
toes and other vegetables soft mash,
such as we give to the hens, etc. For
really fine, plump, fat squads, wheat |
IS hard to beat.

Preserving NJr0ts.

A method Of preserving meat has
peen brought out in France by RI. de
Lapparent, which seems to have met
with considerable success. 1t can be
also applied on small scale for
household purposes, says the Scientific
American. The principle consists in
exposing the meat to sulphurous acid
Fumes. BY burning small amount
or sulphur In a receptacle containing
the meat hung up in place 1t can be
preserved for several days, even in
summer There is no taste left from
the sulphur fumes, and there seems
to be no danger to health. Such
method can be used also on large
scale for preserving meat for army
use, as 1T Is quite simple and easy to
apply In practice. From experiments
maze on large scale it appears that
the meat fumigated with sulphur did
not contain more than % grams (340'
grains) Of sulphurous acid gas per 100
Kilograms (22O pounds) Of meat, which
Is on the order Of ten thousandths
Inc meat should be fumigated as soon
as possible after killing, and prefer
ably on parts which have no cut bones.
Lean meat is found to keep best. To
preserve 1T for several months meat
can be inclosed In vessels full Of car
bon1c acid gas. 1t has the appearance
or fresh meat, and its taste ls not
after cooking In England Mr..
Lascalles Scott proposed method
which consists in immersing the meat
In solution Of bisulphite Of lime.

HOME MADE MIXTURE
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache and
Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad-
der Weakness Though Harmless
and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting 10
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by
noted au hority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription. stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up If asked to do
so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte Affections with splendid results,
he could see no reason why it would
not be splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, as
it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most i'm
pcrtant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blool the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it trial.

ADJUSTMENTS

Walker Whiteside, who will be seen
at the Grand on Thursday night, is re-
ceiying. most favorable comment wher-
ever he has been seen. this season. This
is evidenced by the following which
appeared in the Kansas City Post con-
corning Mr.. Wniteside's appearance in
that city last week:
Walker Whiteside made his reap
pearance in Kansas City last evening
at the Willis Wood theater in THE
Claim of Blood" by Gordon Kean, the
play which served by Whiteside so well
last season under the title of 1.-THE
Magic Melody''-a much better title.
The story. of the play is an interesting
one, showing as it does the contrasting
characters of musician who is bound
up in his violin and a modern American
millionaire who cares only for the max
ing of millions and the social position
which they will buy. His ward, Gloris
Fielding, he wishes to sell to an Eng
fish nobleman for his title, but the Eng
Hshman is finer grained than the mill
nonaire, and refuses to buy the girl,
who does not care for him. The clash
of interest comes between the million
aire and the musician, when the girl
falls in love with the violinist. The
climax of the second act, when the mu-
sician is about to lose his chance to
appear before a large audience of mus
ic Iovers-his first chance to make
name for himself-is tense with dra-
matte feeling. The interest. is allowed
to lag somewhat in the final act, in
the present version which has been
toned down, because of the philosophi-
cal discussion between the millionaire
father and the artist son, when pas
sion is too tense for so much talk. The
play on the whole, however, is one of
more than usual interest, for it con-
tains much of human nature and the
homely sentiment of it rings true. 1t
affords Mr.. Whiteside an opportunity
to do the sort of acting that he is fit
ted for and he gives a better account
of himself in this play than in any
thing else he has given. His acting
shows finer appreciation of the role
than did his very interesting interpre-
tation of the part last season, his con-
ception of it has been growing.
Mr.. WhiteSide is appearing this
season under the management of
Liebler & Co., who have surrounded
him with the best supporting COM
pany ne has had. With the opportu-
mites which he will have under one
of the best firm of managers, Mr..
Whiteside should make a prominent
place for himself among the more
earnest and serious of the dramatic
artists of the day. He has the techni-
cal resources of the actor which at
once arouses the interest of the spec
tator. His voice is unusually rich and
he uses 1t with discretion. His act
ing grows quieter and more natural in
method, and hence more convincing.
'In the supporting company are two
principals who appeared with him last
year, Herbert Sears as Jordan Raw
ker, the millionaire, and Martha

At the meeting itself there is little

The rules cannot be changed at this

recommended and must be submitted

two big leagues. If reported on favor
ably they will be adopted at the
spring meetings s=sG & -.
President Pulliam will recommend
that all pitchers slabs be on the level
with the rest of the diamond, that a
batter advancing runner by means
of fly ball shall be credited with
sacrifice hit, and that a change be
made in the rule under which an UNI
pire may call thine" in the course of
a game. He will suggest a change In
this last named point in section 2 Of
rule II to the effect that it shall be
compulsory for the umpire to call
time in case of accidents to players
only when the fielding side is involved
in the accident. = 80 49, .-...-
For example, when base runner
falls and is unable to make his base,
that is his own fault and the umpire
shall not have to call time, but should
two f1elders run together and one or
both of them be laid out play shall be
suspended at once -i~ .-s -' T..
Concerning the raised slab prac-
tice Mr.. Pulliam says:y "It has been
contended the slab, must be raised in
order to drain the feld,. but that is
nonsense. A little. ound, in r. the
center of the diamond doesn't drain
the field. All it does is TO give some
pitchers an undue advantage, and
there can't be any uniformity in the
diamonds if this practice is allowed"

This announcement came in an adj

sue of 20 warrants against proprietors
of leading hotels in Chicago charg-
ing violations of the Sunday closing
law. The states attorney said that
the state law is absolutely plain and
that he will enforce it with all his
power. The saloonkeepers by their
actions, he asserted. have aroused a
revolt among the thinking people of
the city that will result eventually not
only in Sunday observance, but in
shorter hours for the saloons and the
total wiping out of many disorderly
places 1eagued with vice and crime.
