A new theory has been evolved by
those who favor discriminating rail
road rates. The lower rates on coal
and commodities generally to the
Twin Cities is justified on the ground
that their effect is to protect Mime
sofa industries against the industries
of other states. That may be we'll
enough, but why should the Twin Cit
fes only be considered? Why should
not industries in the smaller cities be
equally favored?

There are two kinds of call ducks, the

which is the better of the two. They
are both of one character as to size,
shape. and habits. and differ only as
regards color.
The Gray Cali is very similar In
color of plumage to the Rouen, and is
indeed called by many the Bantam
Rouen, and the white is sometimes
called the Bantam Pekin. Their uses
are only for the show room, or as
decoy ducks for wild duck shooting.
For the latter purpose they are
sometimes crossed with the common
duck or the wild Mallard. This latter
cross is considered excellent, the pro
geny being distinguished for tameness
and domesticity.
When breeding call ducks, smallness
of size is the first consideration; the
smaller they are the better. The arts
of skillful breeding for the showroom
are being used in keeping down the
size of these ducks. Inbreeding has
been resorted to, while late Matching
scanty feeding. and nonbone-making
food have been the means that have
retarded their natural development.
