These ducks came originally from In

Runner" comes from the fact that they
literally run instead of waddling like
most ducks
The Indian Runner is a breed of small,
utility duck noted for its egg produce
ton, and is often termed the Deghorn OF
the duck family These ducks have been
credited with records of more than 200
eggs each in iocks of ten. and 1872 eggs
each in hocks OF 100. The Runners are
active in their habits, are good foragers,
a large proportion OF thier food. They
are non-setters. are hardy and easily
rear red. but do not stand confinement well.
Their flesh Is of a deep yellow color and
is of fine quality, but their small size
is rather against them for market pur-
poses, except for broflers.
The standardized Indian Runner has a
long fiat, finely formed head of light
fawn or gray and white color. the for
mer being preferred. The head should
be adorned with cap and cheek mark
ings of light fawn or gray, the cap being
divided from the cheek markings by a
narrow line of white about one-eighth Of
an inch wide. The bill is of unusual
length, fairly broad ano strong at the
base. In the ducklings the bill is of a
yellow color, spotted with green. When
fully matured, the bill should be green
in color with black bean.
The eyes are Of a hazel color and set
light in the head. The neck is unusually
long and slender and white in color from
head to the beginning Of the breast

The symptoms which you describe in

attacks you describe indicate acute in
digestion. evidently in the intentines. In

about by ill-advised feeding methods. and
carelessness in the choice OF food ma

ed before being fed. and should not be
either fed or watered when hot or tired.
In such cases they should be allowed
to rest and cool a while before being
fed or watered. Great care should be
exercised in the selection of food. Moth
ing that is unsound or unclean in any
way Is fit for food for horses. The wa

and watering should be regular. A sup

The sweet potato as you probably
know. IS a member of the family Of
plants TO which the morning glory be-
longs and is thought to be of tropical ORR
gin The climatic conditions have much
to do with the success obtained in grow
ing sweet potatoes, period of four
months between frosts with warm nights
being essential TO their best development
Many of the best yields secured with this
crop have been obtained on land too poor
for the satisfactory production of corn
or cotton. Sandy loans that contain
some organic matter. however, give fine
yields and produce potatoes of good,
marketable size and with smooth, clear
surfaces. Where the land has been much
cropped in corn and cotton, IL is best to
practice a rotation of crops and good
drainage is especially desirable. The land
for this crop should be well broken with
a turning plow and worked down until
good seed bed is secured. Then the rows
should be laid off and several tons of well
rotted manure put underneath the same.
There should be mixed with this manure

A good formula to use on river bottom
lands for corn would be about 500 pounds
per acre of 9-2-4 This land evidently
contains considerable amount of availa-
BILE plant food or it would not have made
80 bushels per acre, and evidently it
does not need to be heavily fortified with.
nitrogen The mineral elements are prob
ably more deficient in proportion than
the nitrogen, and therefore liberal APP
plication of phosphoric acid has been sug
gested. Some potash should be used for
fear there may be deficiency in this
element as we'll. If this land contains a
considerable amount of sand the chances
are that even more potash will Aprove
profitable. Personally we would be dis
disposed to prepare this land with great
care and put the fertilizer under the drill
row at the time of planting, as the soil is
not likely to be leachy, and on a low
lying piece of land there should be suffi-
cient moisture to absorb and bring the
plant food to the surface of the soil dur
ing the growing season. Your results
will depend on the variety of corn you
use and on seasonal conditions as we'll.
You should make it point to cultivate
the land thoroughly and persistently from
the time the corn is planted until il isl
nearly matured. To cease cultivating at
the time the corn is fruiting- most vigor-
ously is a mistake, as this is vital
time in the history or the plants and
they need to be stimulated at this time
in order to make large yield.

Whether anything good can be ac somplished by mob is question. which we will not attempt to answer slthough we are rather inclined to make a, a,negative reply At Cordoyaa mob of three hundred men dumped a large quantity oSfopeign, coal into the bay.

However, the action of the mob was criminal, and the individuals composing it are liable to prosecution. The affair has been heralded 10 the world as a. repetition of the "Boston Tea Party" Ground down by the cruel hand of government these people have st last rebened, defied the law and de- stroyed property.
