MEETING OF ILLINOIS MINERS

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 21.-Delegates
to the twenty-second annual conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers Of
Illinois assembled in this city today
and were called to order by President
John Walker. No matters of grea,
Importance are Salted for considera-
ton at the convention this year, but
as there is a large amount of routine
business demanding attention 1t will
probably be several days before the

month for the farmers. Following
few days of unusually cold weather,
the month was spring-like. 1t was so
warm, in fact, that peach, apple, pear
and plum trees have been in full bloom
for two weeks or more, which is anu
sual, even for this state, while roses
and other flowers are blooming in pro-
fusion. The present cold spell may
kill or seriously damage the fruit,
but the farmers believe this will be a
banner year for sorn, cotton and other
crops.
The early winter was especially
good for wheat, oats and other cereal
it is said, and the yield, it is predicted
will be a good one.
1t is stated upon what seems to bt
good authority, that the acreage o
cotton will be reduced this year.
great deal of it was planted last year
but the boil weevil got in his worl
in several counties, and the yield wa
so small the farmers are taking u
peanuts as a substitute crop for col
ton. 1t has been demonstrated tina
peanuts are better crop than cottor
even at 16-cent cotton, and it is est
mated that fully $4,000 acres will b
) planted in peanuts this year.

WHERE'S MOTHER?

Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say,
Trooping, crowding, big and small
On the threshold, in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
Where's mothers"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won:
Where's mother?"
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day We may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say:
where's mother?'
Mother, with untiring hands,
At the post of duty stands;
Patient, seeking not her own,
Anxious for the good alone
Of her children as they cry,
Ever as the days go by:
where's mother?"
Good Housekeeping.

HOUSE AND RUNS FOR DUCKS.
place windows to catch the sun and
keep floor space clear, as ducks roost
and lay on the ground. and obstruc-
tions mean crippled ducks. ~.
Arrange for good ventilation, for
ducks need lots of air and must not be
shut up tight. as they cannot stand
confinement like hens!
Arrange outside yards and let them
go in and out at their pleasure, for it
is their ceaseless motion that keeps
their digestive organs in good condi-
tion.
Place the water founts outside. where
they may splash to their hearts con-
tent.
Our picture shows a good plan for
house, yards and water runs for breed
ing ducks that is simple and may be
adapted to large or small flocks.
Breeding ducks should have water,
if possible, as their eggs are more
fertile than otherwise.

POINTERS FOR HOUSING DUCKS

Ducks aren't partial to palaces; but
like human quacks they can't sleep
with cold feet Therefore. in building,
make your duck house simple, but be
sure to have a dry floor, for cold
trilbys mean dead ducks.
Quacks can stand more cold than a
hen, as their thick feathers seem cold
proof, but as they sleep sitting a good
dry earth floor covered with leaves,
swamp grass or straw and protected
from drafts is necessary.
Select a well drained site. have floor
higher than outside surface and calcu-
late space of IL by IA feet for every
fifteen old ducks.
Use rough inch boards, strip all
cracks. have a water tight shed roof.
