GUINEAS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Young Birds Must Be Watched Care
fully Until Past Tender Age-of
Very Wild Nature.

Guinea hens are among the hardest
of all birds to breed, chiefly because
the young guinea is SO extremely ten
der. They are also of a very wild
nature, and when one of them Is lost
from the hen it may be counted as
lost. It is advisable to keep the young
guineas shut up for few days after
they are Matched and feed them on
bread crumbs, coarse corn meal and
occasionally hard-boiled egg, ground
fine and mixed with the bread crumbs.
After they leave the hen, II the days
are warm and bright, they are allowed
TO hunt bugs and worms and require
little feeding. After they are feath-
cred out they need little care. as they
are able to shift for themselves until
the winter cuts off their supply Of
food.
In winter they must have a shelter
and be fed the same as other poultry,
but must be kept shut in when there
is snow on the ground, as they will
fly into the tops of trees or on roofs
of buildings, and refuse to come down.

CELERY AS DUCK FOOD
Winter Buds and Root Stocks

Flexible, Ribbon-like Leaves Of
Light Translucent Green
Flowers Are Peculiar.
(By w. l.. M'ATEE.)

The names wild celery and canvas
back duck have been closely associat-
ed in the annals of American sport.
To certain extent this association
is justified, since the canvas back OBJ
tains about one-fourth of its food from
this plant-a greater proportion than
any other duck. However, the asser-
ton that the flavor of the canvasback
is superior to that of any other duck
and that 1t depends on a diet of wild
celery is not proved, to say the least
The scaups or bluebills and the red
head also are very fond of wild Gel
cry, and are fully as capable of get
ting the delicious buds as the canvas
back. Several other ducks get more
or less of this food, the writer finding
that even the scoters on a northern
lake in fall lived almost exclusively on
It for a time. All parts Of the plant
are eaten by ducks but the tender
winter buds and root stocks are rel
ished best. Wild celery buds can usu-

URGING GREAT SALE
OF CANNED FOODS

Dealers, grocers, jobbers and manufac-
turers all over the country are Joining
hands during the week of March 3lst 10
April 9Th in an effort to acquaint house
wives with the economy and quality OF
canned foods
1t is now a we'll known fact that heat
is the only preseryative used in preparing
these economical foods. The cans are
sealed and steriliZed at temperature OF
$50 degrees. which prevents any contami-
nation and keeps the contents fresh and
wholesome as the day the tins were filled
In the canneries.
National Canned Foods Week, during
which dealers and grocers will make
canned foods their sales-features. is for
the purpose of demonstrating 90 house
wives that the cost OF living can be cut
with such foods, and that they may be
served in hundreds of delightful ways,
and thus served daily without monotony.
The farmers wife especially finds It ad-
'vantageous to relieve herself of all the
cooking possible and Canned Foods en-
able her to do this and at the same time
improve the quality of her meals.
Women in every community should OBJ
serve National Canned Foods Week by
going to the dealers and putting in a sup
ply. The saving and general satisfaction
In the use of Canned Foods is entirely
worth while.-Adv.

Winter Feed for Poultry.

One of the best and most relished
winter feeds for poultry is cabbage
