Strange and Rapacious Bird Believed to Be a Shrike-Sewing Club Meets with Mrs. Benjamin Palmer.

During last week many parties wis ited Vergason hill to see the birds. The large bird described a week ago is thought to be the northern shriSe. It is ten inches in length, has dark colored wings, a strong beak, and is said to be cruel and rapacious. While here he drove away smaller birds, seizing their food in large quantities. The cold winter and scarcity of food in the north, which is his nome, caused the coming to this climate. Three large robins were visitors here last week

BY II. n. FEHRENScHILD.

The raising of ducks for market is in
my opinion, the most profitable branch
Of poultry keeping. A sandy soil and
somewhat sloping location is the best;
an unfailing supply of water is also es-
sential. 1t is always advisable to buy
breeding stock or eggs for Matching
from a reliable market duck raiser in
preference to one Of the so-Called fan
ciers. Keep your breeders in tiptop
condition and you will have no trouble
in Matching their eggs and raising the
ducklings. Give them clean and airy
sleeping quarters clean water to drink
and plenty of green food to eat A
of 500 pounds of bran, 800 of cornmeal,
100 Of No. ? flour. 100 of beefscrap and
$50 of alfalfa meal
l keep one drake to every five ducks.
The majority of duck breeders keep
their breeders in tiocks of 30 Nine
years ago l started to keep all my
breeders in one flock and on free range
With the exception of separating at
times few birds for experiment,
have never changed this practice.
now keep over 500 breeders in one flock
and on free range.
Keep Hens With Breeders.
For bedding l use sawdust, but dur
ing very cold weather and when there
Is snow I prefer dry leaves straw or
hay BY keeping some hens with your
breeders and throwing some small
grain into leaves or straw, you will
gain two points-it Will give your
breeders needed exercise. and the hens
will shake W the bedding and mix dirt
with the droppings, which will make
them less offensive. When sawdust Is
used the droppngs should be raked up
daily. No matter how clean you keep
the quarters. some of the eggs will be
soiled They should be washed as soon
as they are gathered.
Eggs should be incubated as soon as
possible. The fresher the eggs the bet
ter they will hatch. especially in warm
weather. The temperature in the incu-
batorS is kept at 1902 for the first four
or five days is gradually increased to

KEEP FOWLS IN ORCHARD
IF ONE Is AVAILABLE

The hot days of August and Septem-
Der are very trying to poultry, young
and old, and great pains should be
taken to make them as comfortable as
possible
The ideal place for poultry in the
summer is in an orchard or grove,
where the trees furnish shade but in
most instances such place can not
be had, and we must provide artificial
shelter. of boards or muslin.
SunfioWers with pole beans growing
around them. or morning glory, or other
quick growing vines, will be a great
