PLYING DUCKS WITH wArEE.


In the raising of ducks. water for
bathing is not at all necessary, but
liberal supply for drinking is absolutely
essential to their growth. The food of a
duck is such as to require drink when
eating. as it is comparatively dry and
cannot be eaten hurriedly as grain is.
When feeding always replenish the
water troughs or fountains with pure,
fresh water. A duck when feeding Will
eat a small quantity and go to the water
troughs for drink, repeating this per-
Torrance several times during the meal.
Conveniences for supplying drinking wa
ter to growing ducks are varied and
almost any contrivance will answer the
purpose When small numbers of ducks
are kept the simplest method of sup
plying water is in wooden troughs.
These may be built V-shape or with
square bottoms.
For smaller ducks. those kept in the
warm brooder house, the fountain plan
is to be preferred, as the youngsters can
not get into the water and become wet
or chilled These fountains may be
made of air-tight cans for the reservoir
and tin plate 2 inches larger in diam
eter than the can. A tomato can and an
ordinary tin pie plate make an excellent
fountain. Remove the top of the can
and punch a small hole in the side about
a quarter of an inch from the free top
edge: fill the can with water and place
it inverted on the plate. The water will
run out until it reaches in the plate the
level of the hole in the can. The plate
will not overflow and water will be sup
piled automatically. Some raisers use
a pan-a pie plate, for instance-and
place a stone several inches smaller in
diameter than the pan in the center.
leaving a margin for water around the
edge.
The food of the duck is both vegetable
and animal in nature. In the wild state
ii gathers it's food from brooks and
marshes, consisting of flag, grasses,
small fishes, water insects, etc. When
the birds are raised in confinement this
diet must. in a measure. be Initiated to
get the most satisfactory results. The
duck has no crop, the food passing di-
rectly from the throat to the giZzard.
and as a consequence the food must be
in a soft mushy state.

rHE ACTUAL WORTH on AN EDUCATION

THE ACTUAL WORTH OF. AN EDUCATION.
You have heard all your life that an educa-
tion is worth more than money, and this Is
true provided you put that education into use.
But 1t isn't true If you sit back and never
use 1t.
Here is a boy whose father has spent hun,
dreds Of dollars educating him. The young
man goes through school and graduates with
another young man who has had the same
opportunities. The first returns to his home
with a derby hat set back on his head and
dressed in the best to be had. He sits IN the
shade. never does anything but eat and blow
in money telling every one from whom he
makes a purchase that papa will pay the Dill.
But papa dies and leaves but little property
The father is there no more TO pay the bills.
Then the young man pays until he has paid out
all his father left him. He has loafed around:
never cared tried TO do anything until
people say: ''no he's not the kind. He had
good chance to make something but you see
how he has done. His father worked hard to
put him through college and you see he hasn't
put his education into use. He's no good; we
can't have him hanging around here" He never
amounts to anything because he lay around and
denended too many years on papa to pay the
bills.
Tho other syoung man Immediately after he
graduated began looking for work. He secured
without trouble n position In n country school.
He taught by dav and studied law at night
until ho was admitted 10 the bar. Everybody
watched this young man; he was doing some
thing, and he became one or the leading law
yers Of his state--was honest and upright. win

and even the vice president of the United States
Some one has written, since man to man IS
so unjust its hard to say what to trust The lg-
norant, the innocent and the helpless are taken as
mean advantage of by the learned lights of the age as
persons of like mind. So money mad is the spirit OF
the age that men will seemingly sacrifice the honor of
his wife and daughters, if that will bring them the
money. The injunction that was once attributed to
an avaricious father the return of his son from
school, for which the old man had unwillngly paid
was. my son. get money. If you can't get money

Judge Burke, its resentment of the attempt and it's

organized labor is not for Burke If half that was
told by Harry Kildruff about Miller and Burke be
true then Seattle is in the throes of the most corrupt

STRANGE THINGS YOU MEET

In great metropolitan city many things transpre
that are not only amusing but in many instances SEEM
ngly inexpainable and among them are the following
The white man is said to be bitterly opposed to the
Japanese coming to America and minging with the
whites and his opposition to the black man is so well
known that it would be a waste OF time to go over
it. and vet at Woodland Park last Sunday game OF
baseball was played between white and Japanese

ton man as black as the of spades was chosen

fought over matter of municipal Legislation In
looking fer the bel by the other members the
two combatans broadly inJimated that the other was
crooked and growing rich at the expense OF the
city. Is 1t true!
One of the leading papers of the city quoted one
of the leading pastors of the city as delivering his fare
well sermon and delivering it in such satirca way
al to cause his parshoners to crtcise their pastor
The divine denies having preached any such sermon
and states that his farewell sermon will not be preach
ed for two weeks Or more. Do newspapers publish the
truth?
The Pacific States Telephone Company which is
said to be one of the richest and most formidable cor
poratons in the whole west, recently advanced Its
service rates some twenty-five per cent not because
the company was in bad financial shape but simply to
get that much more money. The question is, why do
the citizens stand for it?
leader of one of the leading churches of the
CITY prays loud and long every Sunday is at prayer
meeting on Thursday evenings and yet in his business
life he is one of the boys and do those things that he
nravs against at church and breaks the ritual OF his
chosen church six days in week. Is such man
fool or a knave? If neither, is Christianity and it's
teaching mere society formality?

At Bronx Park near New York city in running the
electric launches that ply from the boat house there on
the Bronx river they have fare system that avoids
all mistakes and does away with any necessity of re-
Numbering on the part of parents, whatever. On
these boats the fares for adults and children over
four feet in height is ten cents for children under
four feet in height five cents Railroad and street
car conductors claim that it is curious to say the least
how parents memories lapse at times about the age
of their children. This Bronx Park system if gener
ally adopted would obvate forgetfuness and prove to
be time saver in general.
