BUMPS HEADS WITH HORSE.
Mounted Policeman Knocked Sense
less when Animal Stretched Neck

Philadelphia, May 80. - Samuel
Boyd, a member Of the Falls of
Schuylkill police station, was thrown
from his horse In a peculiar manner
yesterday morning at WIssahickon
and Hunting Park avenue. Boyd had
nearly completed his part of the
nights work, and was riding along
leisurely, when at the junction Of the
two thoroughfares, an electric light
that had been out suddenly flashed
up, frightening the horse and causing
1T to throw It's head up, striking Boyd
such a powerful blow on his head
as to cause him to fall unconscious
to the ground. He was found lying
in the road an hour later by party
in an automobile, who took him IN
10 Il hospital He was found to have
sustained concusston Of the brain, a
badly laccratcd scalp and forehead,
and contusions Of face and body. His
condition was much improved last
night.
Boyd was much surprised when he
recovered consciousness yesterday to
find himself in the hospital. It was
some time before he could recall tho
circumstances Of his being injured.
Boyd's horse wandered about until
found by a policeman, who took It
to the Falls Of Schuylkill stables.

The English Penciled variety was

The English Penciled variety was
undoubtedly the first and original
Indian Runner. Because Of this fact
some breeders who breed only the
English ducks have exalted the Pen
ciled duck and dehased the Light
Fawn and White and the Pure
White ducks by calling the two lat
ter worthless mongrels. Breeders Of
the American Standard and Pure
White ducks have retorted that the
English Penciled duck Is the old, un-
improved variety, and. therefore.
inferior to the American Standard
and White Indian Runners. The fact
is that what is most fancy Is almost
wholly dependent upon who is the
fancier. 1t may be, therefore, that
most of the difference in the three
varieties OF Indian Runner ducks
made by some breeders is due to their
personal fancy rather than to any
real difference in the fowls.
Type and Carriages.
One OF the most prominent differ
ences in the Indian Runners and the
ordinary duck is their erect. almost
vertical carriage. Instead of carry
ing their bodies in an almost horizon
tai position, as do other ducks, they
carry themselves very erect A flock
Of Indian Runners when alert or on
the run, very much resemble the
wild penguin. The regular penciling
Of the English bird, the soft, even
fawn Of the American Standard duck,
and the crystal white OF the Pure
White variety are all beautiful In the
extreme.
Habits.
The Indian Runner Is an excellent
forager While the ordinary duck Is
waddling around the feeding pen eat
ing great quantities Of feed that you
must buy and pay for, the Indian
Runner is off on the run after bugs,
digging after grass roots and forag-
ing for her own living. On the bar
rem plains OF India, the original home
Of the Indian Runner, where vegeta-
ton and insect life are scarce, the
ordinary type Of waddling duck, be-
ing unable to forage so far, would
long ago have starved to death. The
Indian Runner, therefore, may most
properly be called 1.-THE survival of
the fittest." This foraging ability
strongly recommends the Indian Run
ner to poultrymen everywhere.
Strangely combined with their for
aging tendencies IS love for home.
However far an Indian Runner may
go during the day, she will always
return home at night to lay her eggs.
| never knew one to stray from her
roosting place. So strong Is their
love OF home that they will return
almost to the same spot to roost
night after night and year after

older accustom them gradually to the

older accustom them gradually to the
outside temperature.
After three weeks old the duck
lings are very hardy and need only
ordinary attention until flve weeks
old, when they begin to feather. This
Is a critical time. Give them plenty
or beef scrap In their feed to keep up
their strength. Young ducks should
nave plenty Of sunshine, but should
be provided with shade to prevent
sunstroke. They should never be al
lowed to get wet, for they are easily
chilled. Keep them in clean and
grassy pen when the weather Is warm
enough for them to be out Good
food' water, even temperature and a
clean bed are the main requirements.
Housing.
Housing the Indian Runner duck
is not difficult Unlike the chicken,
they require in their house no nests,
no roosts-in. fact, no furniture what
ever. They have no lice, no mites.
no cholera, no roup and no frozen
combs. The house need not be high:
Il low house is better. The principal
requirement Of good duck house is
that the floor be dry and we'll covered
with clean litter, something lik.
straw.
Utility Value.
The final test for any fowl is it's
utility value. Though the Indian
Runner duck has many fancy quail
ties, her chief claim is not to beauty,
but to usefulness. Being small
duck, she cannot claim superiority
for feather production, but she more
than makes up for this shortage in
the quality Of her flesh for table use,
and In the quantity Of eggs produced.
AS table fowl the Indian Runner
is the sweetest of meats. She has
less of the undesirable fat Of the
larger ducks and more pure protein
or lean meat. To taste roasted
Runner is to never forget the pleas
ure.

turbed II they are compelled to

a Dry Land Duck.
Another advantage to the poultry
man in raising Indian Runner ducks
Is that they do not require a stream
OF water or Il pond. Many poultry
men cannot raise the common duck
successfully for lack Of water, but
the indian Runners require water
only for drinking. Give them buck
ct or large trough filled with water
and they are highly pleased.
Matching.
Hatching the Indian Runner Is
very similar to Matching any other
duck. | run the temperature III my
incubators rs follows: First week,
l02 degrees; second and third weeks
1903 degrees; fourth week, l04 de-
grecs. duck egg requires in hatch
ing little more moisture than a
hens eggs. Turn and air the eggs the
same rs YOU would hen eggs. Air
ten to fifteen minutes twice a day,
beginning the third day and stopping
on the 25th day. On the fifth day
begin to supply moisture by using
the sand trays, almost as large as the
egg trays, and half inch deep under
the egg trays. Fill up with fine dry
sand. Keep the sand moist, but not
wet, until the eggs begin to pip.
Then remove the sand trays and put
the cloth in the machine. On the
18th day open wide the ventilators,
and leave open until the end of the
hatch. 1t takes rs days for duck eggs
to hatch. They will pip the shell on
the 26th day If temperature has been
regular, then make no further at
temht to get out until the 2Sth day.
Beginning with the 18th day and
ending with the 25th day, sprinkle
my eggs once day with water that
has been heated to about 1OS de-
grees.
BrOoding and Feeding.
When you remove the ducklings
from the incubator or from the hen,
be careful not to get them chilled.
Keep them in a warm, even tempera-
ture for several days. Ducklings
should not be fed until 36 hours Old
Always water them Immediately af-
ter feeding. For the first five days
feed stale bread moistened with milk,
then add wheat bran and shorts in
equal parts to the bread and milk,
until they are five weeks old, when
they should have a mash made of
four measures wheat bran, three
measures OF shorts, two measures of
corn meal, one measure of beef
scrap and one-fouth measure of
fine sharp sand. Mix with water or
milk to thick, sticky mass. Feed
them every two hours when Young
Give them warm water until they are
four weeks old. Keep stones in ves-
sells to keep them from getting their
feet wet, as that means death to the
duckllng. Their nOstrils clog with
1000 and dirt; tho water between
the stones must, therefore, be deem
enough to permit the ducklings to
immcrse their bills. AS they grow

Tho Name and Origin.

Tho Name and Origin.
They are called Indian" because
they came originally from India, and
Runners" because they do not wad-
die like the ordinary. duck, but lit
orally rum 1t was first reported
that the Indian Runner Is a native
OF the West Indies. but the most
plausible story has 1t that the Indian
Runner Is native Of India. They
were discovered, it is said, by an
English sea captain, who, attracted
by their lively movement and upright
carriage, and by the stories Of their
wonderful egg production, captured
them and took them to England.
Though some Of the stories concern
ing the Indian Runners origin sound
considerably like fables Of the East
there may be, after all, some truth in
them. At any rate, 1t seems con-
elusive that the Indian Runner Is e
native OF India, and not of the West
India Islands.
Brief History.
The history Of the Indian Runner
in England has been traced back
with more or less distinctness, for a
period Of eighty years. After going
back about forty years, however, the
history becomes somewhat hazy.
About the only definite knowledge
we have is that they we're first known
to Britain in County Cumberland, in
tho north OF England. They are now
bred exclusively in the British Isles.
j. w. Walton, secretary of the In
dian Runner Duck Club Of England,
is probably the most extensive Eng
lish breeder we'll known to Amer-
cans. About fifteen years ago the
Indian Runner was imported from
England to this country. Here it
was bred by but few until about
1904 Of 1905, since which time it
has been constantly growing in fa-

consultations with party leaders. 1t is ad
mitted, however, that one of the first steps
must be to clean house and get new blood in

Hadley, of Missouri; Senator Borah, of Idaho;
Congressman Norris, of Nebraska, and Muir
dock, of Kansas, are mentioned as the calibre
Of men desired to take the party leadership.
gressives. Had the present leaders shown a
willingness to follow public opinion in this
manner last spring the party would not find
itself in such a condition as it is today.
There is no doubt that the Republican party
must have new men in the national commit
tee if it is to regain the confidence of the peo-
pie. Take, for instance, New Jersey. It's rep
resentative today is Franklin Murphy, a man
who was discredited by the party last spring
at the primary. He is entirely out of har-
mony with the great mass Of people and as
long as he poses as the national representative
Of any political party, that party cannot ex-
pect to gain much of a following.
If the Republicans Of New Jersey are look
ing for a man who would come the nearest to
harmonizing the factions Of their party today
and who is looked upon as a true progressive
within the party ranks, We would recommend
former Governor Edward c. Stokes. Had the
advice of Mr.. Stokes been followed early in the
year the Republicans might have been able to
save themselves. At least they would have an
organization worthy of the name now.
While the former governor remained loyal
to the Republican party all during the recent
campaign it is well known that he favored
Theodore Roosevelt and believed that the Re
publican party should adopt the progressive
cause as it's own Looking at the wreck of the
once glorious "Grand Old Party" from an alb
s~olutely disinterested standpoint, we know of
10 one who can accomplish more than Mr..
Stokes. He is without a doubt the man of the
hour for the Republican party in New Jersey.
