short struggle the town surrendered

and flung the burning mass into the

alive. Out Of a population Of 1000,

(By ANNA GALLAGHER, Ohis)
It is only comparatively few years
since the Indian Runner ducks made
their appearance in America. They
came originally from the West In
dies, where they have been raised for
years, chiefly as egg-producers. They
derive their name from their native
land and racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white,
With yellow shanks and light-green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black.
The body is long and narrow and
is carried in an almost upright posi-
ton. Neck is long and thin, with fine
ly formed head.
The Indian Runner is rather small,
fully matured ducks weighing from
four to five pounds. brakes from five
to six pounds, live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise What
they lack in weight is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific
