Ducks ON the Farm.

It will pay to add ducks 10 the
poultry department OF every farm.
Nothing was ever known to grow so
last and cause so little worry and
work as ducks. Everything is "grlst"
hat comes their way. They consume
7ast quantities OF coarse foods and
convert it rapidly into flesh and
money. They are Independent of the
saretaker except so far as food is
concerned When they have grown
20 be two or three weeks old, they
even provide the greater part of their
own food by hunting for it. They are
the happiest, brightest and most in
dependent things on the farm. They
require a house or houses of their
own, plenty of water to drink and
puddle their bills in, and grit in
some form. Their houses should be
sprinkled well with sand or dry lit
ter, and swept out every day.
If one has many Of them, a park
Of their own fenced off with poultry
netting is best for all concerned, for
they are always getting into the
drinking water set out for the hens
and chicks. a large park need not
be very expensive Low netting
answers every purpose, unless you
wish to keep every hen out of their
yards, and that is really best, for
hens and ducks do better If kept
separate. but for the sake Of clean
liness and comfort it would be better
to have the ducks by themselves

The Horse and the Food snpply.


The suppression of the horse, by
reason Of the use of mechanically
propelled vehicles for transportation,
is expected to be practically COM
plete in the cities of the United
States by 1930-that is to say, by
the time young Americans born next
year are old enough to vote. The
only employment for horses by that
time, II is calculated, will be in the
labors Of the farm
One Of the results of this phase OF
evolution will be the simplifying OF
he problem of keeping the streets of
,lties clean. There will be less dust,
and fewer flies This is a direction
In which physicians look for sanitary
gains. Another effect of the elimi-
nation of the horse is suggested by
4 correspondent Of New York news
paper. He estimates that at the
present time there are 10000, 900
horses in the United States, and that
s0,000,000 acres OF good land are
cultivated for the purpose OF sus-
tanning them. Fifty million OF these
acres, he figures. will be released
from this use by 1880, and will be-

When Democrats Had Chance In
Congress to Vote for Bryan Bank
Deposit Plan They Dodged.
In recent interview Judge Walter
1. Smith, Member OF Congress, said:
AT the last session OF Congress a
currency bill was introduced by Mr..
Jno. S. Williams of Mississippi, leader
of the Democratic side of the House
and Democratic Senator-elect from Mis-
sissippi.
This bill not only provided for the
cure OF oil the Ills of our currency sys-
TEN, but contained provision for the
much lauded national guarantee OF
bank deposits. On the 9th day of last
March Mr.. Williams arose In the House
and stated that he had been furnished
with advance sheets of an editorial 10
appear In Mr. Bryan's Commoner. com
menting upon this bin and asked that
these advance sheets might be printed
in the Record, and leave being granted
they were so printed.
"In the editorial slight criticism was
made upon trifing details of the bill
but upon the whole 1t was declared to
be an ideal measure that ought TO re-
ceive the support OF every Democrat
Ii was also stated that the bill had been
prepared after conference of the lead
ing Democrats OF the Senate and House
at which Mr.. Bryan was present.
when the Republican currency
measure was brought UP In the House
1t was provided by the rule that Il
should be In order to move TO substitute
this bill of Mr.. Williams, which, II
should not be forgotten, contained n
provision for the national guarantee o.
bank deposits.
"As the time drew near for the close
of the debate and for some reason no
Democrat offered the bill, Mr.. Kahn OF
California moved to substitute the
Williams bill for the Republican bill.
Immediately there was great confusion
on the Democratic side Of the chamber
and hasty consultation as to what
should be done. Finally SIX Democrats
voted to substitute the Williams bin for
the Republican measure, 20 Democrats
voted against 1t and % Democrats yot-
ed present without being paired,
"The question swas not on the adop-
tlon of the Democratic bin, but was
whether the Democratic bill, containing
the national guarantee OF bank deposits
was preferable to the Republican meas
IRE. and on that question only six Dem
ocrats voted Yes 20 Democrats voted
no and 81 Democrats without being
paired voted present. In other words,
about three-fourths of all the Demo
Gratis had no opinion whatever one way
or the other as to whether their bill
with the blessed guarantee Of bank de-
posts In 1t, was better or worse than
ours"

as President and Republican Congress
to support him, saying, in part:
1T Is urgently necessary, from the

grcss which will support him; and they
seek election on platform which sne-
officially pledges the party, alike in its
executive and legislative branches, to
continue and develop the policies which
have been not merely introduced, but
acted upon during these seven years.
These policies can be successfully car
ried through only by the hearty cooper
alton OF the President and the Congress
in both Its branches, and Ii Is therefore
peculiarly important that there should
obtain such harmony between them TO
fail TO elect Mr. Taft would be calanl-
ity to the country and II would be
folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect Congress hostile
to him, a Congress which under the in
fuence Of partisan leadership would be
certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion To elect Mr..
Taft, and ut the same time to elect Il
Congress pledged to support him, Is the

BRYAN UNLIKE LINCOLN.
Attempt to Compare Continuous
Candidate to Great Statesman a
Miserable Failure.

Miserable Failure.
",rhe present canvass shows again
the folly of the ass that put ON a
lions skin. The managers of Mr..
Bryan's press bureau are attempting
to conjure votes for him by the use
of the sacred name of Lincoln. Aesop
declared that when the ass lifted up
his voice and brayed, every one knew
him and his owner came up and gave
him sound cudgeling. The warning
falls ON deaf ears. The partisan who
tries the same tricks invites like shame
and punishment The audacity OF the
device may capture some of the I'M
wary. Insofar as he has a party be
hind him, Mr., Bryan is the candidate
of those who maligned and ridiculed
the first and greatest President the
Republican party has given to the ma
ton. Mr.. Bryan relies for support on
the forces which at every step opposed
Lincoln, which INSTRUCTED the meas
ures of war and peace of that savior
of the union, and pronounced the proc
lamation of emancipation monstrous
crime"--Vice Residential Candidate
