l~NcUeArlNc DUCK EGGS.

A duck harem should consist Of one
drake and five ducks. and, strange to
relate, the drake; only a a curl on
his tail and sings soprano. Fertile
eggs come from Pekin pullets, eight
months old, 'limy droppings being a
sign Of the egg debut, and these eggs
should hatch in twenty-eight days If
fresh, fertile and incubated correctly,
unless you have roughly washed of the
gloss.
Ten duck eggs are enough for a hen
to cover, and they should be sprinkled
occasionally.
Run your duck Incubator at 102 de-
grees the first week, 1O3 degrees the
next two weeks and 1O4 degrees the
last week, and keep temperature even
for overheating especially means duck
disaster.
Turn eggs and change trays twice a
day from the fourth to the twenty
sixth day, and sprinkle with tepid wa
ter every day.
Run brooder at 90 degrees for first
two days, and gradually reduce heat.
Ducks require less heat than chick
ems, and brooder lamps need not be
burned long.

kuRIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q. Some Of my pigeons have a most
peculiar disease. 4 cock birds wing
became stiff. l bred from him, and
now two Of his squads have a stiff
wing. What Is this disease, its cause
and cure?
A. Tie trouble is called wing bone
and is claimed to come from inbreed-
ing and improper feeding at time of
mott. It is. cankerous in nature, and
victims should he killed.
Q. Is it tru hat a Leghorn hen
mated to a Cochin male becomes a
half Leghorn and half Cochin and
from that time remains the same, it
matters not with what other breeds
mated? ~. p
A. No. That fool notion exploded
fifty years ago. To mate an eleven
pound cock with a hen half the size
Is, however, a colossal fool stunt.
Q. Is there any way to make hens
set?
A. Yes. Pen them in a coop where
there is little room to exercise: feed
only whole corn to make them fat and
lazy. The hotter the coop the better.
q. Which do you consider the more
important. shape or color?
A. The saying is. "Shape makes the
breed, color the variety" Thus If
you don't have the shape yon haven't
the breed. Both shape and color in
every section are scored, and the result
decides the prize. \ good shape with
bad color and a good color with bad
shape are seldom considered where
there is competition.
Q. How can l prevent my pheasants
from eating their eggs? How MANY
eggs should a pheasant lay in a sea-
son?
A. II you will watch, you will dis
cover that the cock birds generally do
the trick. In the spring. place a bun
die of brush in each corner of your
pleasantly, leave just room enough be-
hind for hen. and a hole in the bundle
just large enough for hen to Green
through. Buy or make eggs ground
glass; same size. shape and color as
pheasant's egg. Always have one in
nest, and scatter a few around and let
the birds dull their beaks ON them.
Always gather eggs closely. Twenty
five to thirty per hen.

A Turkish paper tells this story:
"1brahim Effendi, to whom things
happened, did you perchance hear
Of the things? The effendi was
crossing a river, bearing with him
his mother-in-law and a bag Of gold,
his savings. Then rose the food,
which wrecked the vessel, and. Ibra-
him.knew not at first which to save,
the gold or his relative. Then, hav.
ing taken counsel with himself,
thought Ibrahim and spake: NJ
gold will I save, for where can l
get more gold? But Allah to me
will give all the mothers-in-law
that I need and perhaps more
Then, having thus said, he thus did,
and all the Turks said that he was

Experimental broadcast sowings
were made during the year in twenty
seven forests in the area of Idaho.
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Wyom-
ing, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.
The total area sown was 1871 acres. OF
which forty-seven were in the Black
Hills national forest.
About 100000 trees were planted last
year by the forest service in Ne
braska, Kansas, Colorado, New Mex
leo, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Califor-
mia. There are now growing at the
planting stations over 2,2OO,OOO trees
which will be ready for planting in
1909. Sufficient seed was sown in the
Of 1908 to produce 100000
seedlings.

Nearly all pigeon diseases originate
In neglect. Lack Of grit to grind their
food is chief cause Of their mortality.
It's the red mites that worry and
weaken and wreck the flock. Don't
waste money on louise paint. Use coal
oil on them, and plenty Of it.
AS an instance of how fabulous
stories originate, a pigeon dropped ex-
hausted On the deck Of a ship off
Brazil. Having the name Antwerp
on its leg band, the captain jumped to
the conclusion that 1t had flown from
Antwerp, a distance of $500 miles.
The name "Antwerp" was the breed
to which the pigeon belonged.
The epidemic Of mouth and foot dis
ease cost the government $500, 600 and
the lives of 1905 animals. There was

Certain chick feed companies do
double stunts at running in grit, corn,
dust and "%leftovers.' Grit bought at
30 cents and sold at 1925 is pretty

WlTCHCRAFT IN ENGLAND.
The Last Of the judicial Prosecutions
and Executions.

The Last Of the judicial Prosecutions
and Executions.
Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, had
hanged two poor women at Cam
bridge in 1864 but a few years later
Lord Chief Justice Holt set him.
self strongly against such charges
and in every case tried before him
directed the jury to bring in a YER
dict Of acquittal. In a celebrated
trial at Guildford in 1901 not only
was the supposed witch found not
guilty, but her false accuser, one
John Hathaway, was condemned to
a years imprisonment and to stand
in the pillory three times. Yet,
horrible to relate, a woman named
Hicks and her daughter, a child of
nine, were hanged together at
Huntingdon on July %, 1716, for
raising a storm Of wind in league
with the devil.
The last judicial sentence for
witchcraft in England was in 1876,
one Jane Wenham being actually
found guilty, according to the in
dictment, of "conversing familiar
ly with the devil in the form of q
cat" The judge, however, procured
q reprieve for poor old Jane, and
she was ultimately released, to end
her days in peace.
Last, the witchcraft act was re-
peaied for the United Kingdom in
the same year. It was quite time,
for only nine years earlier, in 1927,
a woman vas brought before Cap
tain David Ross, deputy sheriff of
Sutherland, charged with causing
her daughter to be shod by the dev-
H." and so making her lame both in
hands and feet. The fact having
been proved to the captains salts
faction, the old woman was put into
a tar barrel and burned at Dornoch.
The weather being cold at the time,
We are told that she "sat composed
ly warming herself by the fire pre-
pared to consume her while the 9TH
er instruments of death were get
ting ready"
The last attempt to execute a
witch in England ended disastrously
for the perpetrators. In 1851 at
Tring two old people named Os-
borne, man and wife, being suspect
ed of w~itchcraft, were seized by a
crowd, stripped, cross bound and
thrown into a pond. Both died of
this brutal treatment. But the
witchcraft act had been repealed,
and, a verdict of willful murder hav-
ing been returned against n Col
ley, the chief instigator of the as
sault, he was in due course tried
and hanged.-Cornhill Magazine.
