more than 200 eggs and few ESQ
eggs each. The eggs are fine for
table use; do not have the strong
favor common to old-fashioned duck
eggs, and are as good for table use
and cannot be told from hen eggs by
taste. Young are easily raised, and
only require water for drinking They
require very little moro feed than
other poultry and a great part OF the
years Will pick up much Of their feed
if given range, as they go over large
space in searching for food. But a
small feed of grain given at night will
bring them home ready to be shut up
till after laying time next morning.
They do we'll when kept In pens, and
twenty-four inch fence viii keep
them confined in pens. We have bred
them for seven years and have moth
ing but praise for them. Who would
not give them praise with their beau
tiful fawn and white markings, erect
carriage and best of all their egg pro-
ducing qualities that is their pulling
power among poultry raisers? Farm
ers scarcely miss the amount Of feed
given them. as they get most Of feed
while ranging over pastures eating
grasshoppers, bugs and other insects
which injure crops, and they do not
require expensive houses to keep them
In; houses only require to be dry.
No roosts or other expensive arrange
ments required, and do not have roup,

tending from the handle, and brush
with hollow handle. To make the
combination all that Is necessary is to
thrust the handle of the comb into
the handle of the brush and one I'M
plement is formed. Instead. then, of
raking horse with the eurrycomb
and going over him again with the
brush, the whole operation can be
performed with one stroke by passing
the brush portion of the new imple-
ment over the path left by the preced-
ing stroke of the comb when the next
sweep Of the comb is made. In this
way two horses can be cleaned in the
time 1t used to take TO groom one.

Perhaps the most harmful feature
Of the professional game which the
college boys have adopted is the cou-
tinual chorus Of cries on the part of
the players as soon as the pitcher
takes the ball in hand and gets ready
to deliver Il to the batter Every
player on the nine gives tongue. and
the spectators are treated to one con-
tinual shower Of puerile and silly
cries
The professionals do this partly
with the idea Of rafting their oppo-
nents, but chiefly with the purpose
of covering up a complicated set Of
signals Even in the professional
games the practice ia wholly inexcus-
able and takes away from the pleas
ure and the fairness OF the game, but
when introduced into the college
games Il Is vulgar beyond expression.
Such games as. for example. the
last Haryard-Princeton matches are
enough to disgust the ordinary
man with the whole game Of base
ball Not only is the audience sub
iected to continual chorus Of yells
from the players but the audience it.
self is encouraged to take a hand in
the game by concerted cheering and
calls. The result is that the visiting
nine not only has to play against the
home nine but it has to play also
against the home audience.
This whole process is absolutely
unfair. 1t is vulgar in the last ex-
IRENE and college men ought to stop
it. The college games Of the old day.
when each man did his work without
screaming. were infinitely superior to
the games of to-day in that respect.
and they offered just as good an OPP
portunity for team play as can be had
by this indiscriminate yelping.-

Indian Runner Ducks.

A more profitable kind of poultry
than the Indian Runner Ducks would
be hard to find. They were supposed
to have been imported from India to
England. where they are great favor
ties with the poultry raisers; they
were first bred in the United States
about fifteen years ago, and have be-
come such favorite with the poultry
raisers that for the past few years
eggs and stock are in such demand
that the BREEDERS can't fill the demands
made on them for stock and eggs.
They are not large, Weighing from
four to five pounds But such sight,
to see a flock Of well fed Indian Run
ners, their fawn and white markings,
erect carriage. make them admired by
all. But best of all their egg pro-
ducing qualities. laying every month
in the year. By culling and keeping
best layers we have now strain that
are great egg producers. In the year
OF 1903 ours laid eggs every month;
not so many eggs were laid through
July and August, while moulting, as
other months, but in months Of De-
cember and when from five TO ten

of going out and picking up eggs of
