DUCKS THRONC LAKE
Wild Ducks of Every Family
Make the Lake Black
Off Kenosha.
FIND FEEDING GROUND THERE

Wild ducks took possession Of the
lake off Kenosha this morning and
during the morning the waters Oft
Eichelman Park and north of the park
was literally black with the ducks.
They came up from the south and the
first leaders of the migration arrived
Sunday morning and from that time
on until noon today the iuttering was
heard and the calling of the ducks
was. a clatter which could be heard
for blocks from the lake shore,
The ducks came in schools like
fishes and there were hundreds Of
thousands of them on the lake at ten
clock this morning. There were
canvas ducks and mallards, blue bills
and hell divers and in fact it looked
as if the whole duck family had trans
ferred it's feeding ground to Kenosha.
| The black line of ducks stretched out
into the lake as far as the eye could
see and the farther out 1t seemed
that the number became larger. When
| it was noissd about that the city was
being besieged with the army OF ducks
hundreds of people went to the lake
shore to watch the big foclIs and old
timer sdeclared that while the lake
off Kenosha had for some time been a
favorite feeding ground for ducks in
this season of the year they declared
| that they had never seen so many OF
the ducks before. The ducks seem
ed to be moving toward the north and
lit is just possible that they see re-
tprn of warmer weather and are will
F.! ing to take a chance on the lakes OF
Northern Wisconsin again. Not a
shot was fred at the ducks in the
lake off Kenosha and although some
| OF them came SO close to the break
water that it would have been posi-
BILE to kill them with stones people
seemed to be too interested in watch
| ing them to modest them,
! With the ducks were hundreds Of
gull who seemed to lead the way from
feeding ground to feeding ground.
The steamer Flora NJ. Hill steered her
course right through one of the larg-
est of the focks of the ducks and the
boat was all but hidden from view
when the ducks few into the air.
This afternoon the ducks were still
lingering about Kenosha, but many
of the early corners had gone further
north.

INCOMPLETE WITHOUT THEM
State Association of Breeders to Meet
at Madison to Stir up More Interest
in Stock Raising ON FERNS in Wis
consin-Meet in February.

Convinced that the great majority oil
Wisconsin IS 176,546 farms are pecul
iarly adapted to live stock production
many Wisconsin farmers are increas
ing the size of their herds and flocks
|so as to better utilize all of the waste
products and idle lands of their farms
They are finding that to increase pro
duction and at the same time reduce
its cost is quite. as advisable if not
as necessary in farming as in manufae
turing or any other business.
To get maximum yields and returns
at minimum costs many are turning
more and more to diversified farming
which properly combines grain and live
stock growing which, of course, up.
builds the fertility of the soil. They
realize that intelligent live stock hus.
bandry markets the grain and other
feeds produced in a valuable form and
that on the other hand exclusive grain
growing depletes the soil supply OF
plant food and does not solve the human
food problem. Intelligent systems Of
live stock husbandry are in fact gen,
orally recognized as the most profitable
systems of farming under existing con
ditions.
The highest type of agriculture, it is
generally agreed, is not possible with.
cut live stock, the keeping of which
means always to promote greater il,
teTest in farm life. These men even
claim that if farm stock were to be
eliminated from agricultural practice
the most powerful magnet that attracts
and holds the brightest and best among
our farm-raised young men and women
on. the farms would be removed.
1t is the opinion of many of the best
stockmen of the state that WISCONSIN
through one agency or another might
at this time profitably champion an
educational campaign disseminating
live stock information, possibly by
means Of special trains similar to the
dairy specials which have toured Iowa,
the Breakfast Bacon Special which
also travelled the length and breadth
of this corn belt state, the Live
Stock Special" which taught Idaho
farmers to maintain better varieties of
stock by improving the quality and
character of its county fairs, or by en-
couraging community and cooperative
breeding.
AT the annual meeting of the Wis
consin Live Stock Breeders association
and it's allied bodies, which will be held
at Madison February 18th and 8th, plans
for effecting this improvement in Wis
consin's live stock industry will be
considered. Already representatives of
some of the railroad lines operating in
the state have agreed to cooperate in
the work Of bringing the advantages
of live stock raising to the attention of
farmers living along their lines.
Efforts are being made to have rep
resentatives of the United States and
Canadian governments attend one of
more of these meetings to tell Wiscon-
sin stockmen of the work being done
in the two countries and to encourage
and improve the live stock industry
which in Canada, as in the Estates, I
lis. regarded as the foundation of not
only agricultural but all prosperity.
