HINTS OF DUCKS AND GEESE
DuckIlns Should Be Marketed Before
Twelve Weeks Old-Same Is
Said Of Goslings.

A Pekin duckling weighs about two
ounces when Matched, and should
take on weight as follows: Three to
four weeks, one pound; six to eight
weeks, four to four and one-half
pounds; and at ten weeks. five and
one-half to six pounds. Ducklings
should be marketed at from nine to
twelve weeks of age. After that they
take on weight slowly, and it is not
profitable to keep them longer than
twelve weeks.
Geese grow about as rapidly as
ducks. Allowance of course must be
made for the original difference in
size-newly Matched goslings weigh
ing about four ounces. Turkeys do
rot grow rapidly at the start, but de-
velop much quicker after three
months of age.

WEIRD TALE FROM AUSTRALIA
Bushmsn Hacked OF Arm That Was
Caught In Tree and Bled
to Death.

A weird story of a tragedy of the
Australian bush is reported from
Sydney, N. s. W. A few weeks ago
a bushman named Daveney left Ter
rick cattle station, near Longreach,
in Queensland. The other day his
body was discovered in a lonely spot
in the bush with one arm roughly
severed at the elbow. Traces of
blood led to a large withered tree.
The missing arm was projecting
from the hollow of the broken Dough,
in which was nest of young par
rots. There were horse tracks I'M
der the bough, and close to the body
was found the mans penknife, COW
cred with CONCEALED blood. The man
had evidently ridden under the hol-
low bough to get the young parrots.
The bough was out of reach, and so
he stood on his saddle to reach it.
Then he pushed his arm into the hol-
low to feel for the birds. The horse
moved away and left him hanging in
midair, with his armed jammed in
the hole of the bough. In that po-
sition he probably remained for
long time. The trunk of the tree
was scratched as though by his
spurs as he sought to raise himself
to the bough in which his forearm
was imprisoned. The agony-for
his lips were bitten through-seems
to have driven him to madness.
With his pocket knife probably
with his teeth, he began to saw at
the elbow joint of the imprisoned
arm. The crude process of ampu-
tation was completed and he dropped
to the ground. He staggered a few
Yards, then fell down and died from
loss of blood.
