the withdrawal of the American pro-
Jest.
In connection with the national
bank concession Haiti Is trying to
float loan to fund its interior debt
The course which will be adopted in
regard to Haitien bonds in this rela-
ton Is of interest to the United States
government because many American
creditors of Haiti have been paid in
bonds of that government. So If such
bonds are scaled down the people who
received them on the basis of their
former value. in the opinion Of the
state department. will have grounds
for claim in equity.
The possibility of American bankers
participating in the loan also causes
the state department to believe that
1t is the moral duty of this govern
ment to scrutinize closely the trans
action to see that no contract Is enter
ed into which cannot be backed up BY
the United States in case at some
future time Haiti fails to fulfil her OBJ

large flock, and divided into three
mems. each pen containing 6 duck
Iings The ducklings were fed upon
foods which previous experiment had
shown to be profitable and econom-
ical namely. boiled potatoes. barley
meal. ground oats. skim milk and tai
low greayes. The method of prepar-
ing the food was TO boil. strain and
Mound up the potatoes, which before
boiling would constitute about one
third by weight of the mash. Barley
meal and ground oats were then in
equal parts mixed with the potatoes.
Skim milk was added TO form rather
wet mash. This was fed to the duck
lings from the end of the fifth to the
beginning of the ninth week. During
the last two weeks of fattening. ami
NAL food in the form of rough fat or
tallow cracklings was added to the
mash. the allowance being about two
ounces per day to each duck. Grit and
water for drinking were literally sup
piled. Apart from the charcoal. the
food received by all the ducklings was
the same.
Tables were given as to the results
of the trials, which seem to indicate
that charcoal in one form or another
is important in the profitable fatten-
ing of ducks. 1t appeared to keep the
ducklings healthy. and enabled fatten-
ing to be continued with profit for
much longer period than when char
