With Wagner and Mccormick as a

work, though slightly outpointed in
hits by the locals. In fact, Valdosta
got only 10 hits to a dozen by the Wis

Nominations for postofice places
made by members of congress a
month or six weeks ago have not yet

and others. Some members expressed
the intention of going straight TO the
white house and seeking there to learn
the presidents intention. Others prom
Used themselves to have it out with
Postmaster General Burieson. One
reason for the irritation is that the
long delay in making definite an

being swamped with applications from
towns where they have already made

Should no nominations be made to-
morrow the situation will become even
more acute

last game of the series yesterday to

s;tle largely for the fact that the visit

MAKING THE LITTLE
FARM PAY
BY c. c. BOWSrIELD

I would recommend the little farm
owner to buy several sittings Of eggs
from q reliable breeder. Any stand
ard stock Is good enough. Give the
eggs to sitting hens. ten or a dozen to
each. 1t Is not wise to start in more
extensively. for n seasons expert
enc Is necessary.
If thirty female birds Of good size
and In good condition are selected late
In the fall and placed in a roomy pen
they will naturally produce about 5000
eggs during the season, beginning in
midwinter. Then i%ncubators may be
brought into the scheme Of produc-
ton. The first dozen eggs from a duck
are not certain to be fertile, and it is
best to give them to a hen. ~reserving
the i%ncubators for the production Of a
regular supply Of marketable fowls.
If the mating Is normal the hatch
ing will be Is to 90 per cent Of the
whole egg supply, and by giving the
ducklings ordinary care In the brooder
nearly all of them will come to ma
turity. For n day after Matching no
food is to be given. Then the rations
Of bran and cornmeal may begin.
Heavy feeding is to be avoided.
Assuming that the place will pro-
duce from 1000 to 5000 ducks, the in
cubators should be started as soon as
possible in the spring. Aim to have
them going by the LIST of March. They
will be needed right along till fall.
Begin selling at any time after the
ducks are two months old.
This commodity. II nicely handled,
is universally regarded as a delicacy,
and as prices Sre liberal there Is q
steady income after the first year. The
rules which insure success are simple.
Cleanliness in the pens is imperative.
although ducks like to paddle about on
wet ground in summer. Plenty Of
green food Is another essential, and
grit must be supplied all winter.
The poulterer should send away once
a year to a recognized breeder for a
sitting of eggs in order that good
males may be kept on hand. In this
way size and high breeding qualities
will be assured.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1913-04-18

IF there Is m place moro than an
other where a persons brains
must be exercised 1t Is on the lit
tie farm. Both production and
selling have to- be managed with the
incest skill and business sense. There
Is no room for waste. Products should
be of a kind for which there Is a GER
tain demand. and then they need to be
sold at the right time and In the right
way.
Otherwise failure will overtake the
enterprise, or. at best, 1t will only be q
halfway success. Studying the needs
Of the market and observing the prices
which commodities will command
when fresh and wholesome are i'm
portant features Of modern farming.
OF the thousands of people who con-
slider poultry raising perhaps nineteen
In every twenty think Of chickens.
They need to broaden their vision and
study ducks.
Duck farms now existing could be
multiplied many times over without
charging the supply beyond trade re-
quirements. Prices are on a very prof
table basis. Ducks at the age of six
to eight months sell readily at 81 to
slips. The outside cost Of raising
them need not exceed rs cents. They
are less liable to disease than are
chickens. Eighty or 80 per cent of
them will come to maturity. Wet
weather, while death to chickens, is
favorable to ducks.
The food is much the same as for
other poultry. By getting plenty of
clover ducks will thrive without grain
or other expensive articles Of diet
They are good foragers on a farm and
yet cause less trouble than almost any
other kind Of fowl.
When it comes to fattening time in
the fall grain is necessary. One Of the
first essentials in the summer is q
swimming pond or tank. This must
not be omitted from the yard or field
where the ducks are kept. Plenty OF
clean water for drinking or to splash
in will just about Insure a healthy and
thrifty flock.

USING MANURE SPREADER.
It's q Good Servant, but You Mus
Know How to Put It to Work.

lts a Good Servant. but You Must
Know How to Put It to Work.
There are different ways of using a
n spreader. The best way Is to
set the machinery in such a way as to
give the slowest possible speed to the
apron. If set In this manner the beat
er gets two strokes at the manure. and
the apron moving at a high speed it
gets only n stroke. The more strokes
the beaten has at the same amount of
manur the finer 1t will be. If operated
in this way it will not deliver as heavy
a coat as 1t would If the apron moved
faster. but ii does deliver 1t In a much
better condition.
If one wishes to put on a heavier
coat of manure the ground should be
gone over again with the apron set at
a slow speed. Some farmers never use
their n %spreaders except at the
lowest possible speed. The practical
value Of depends largely upon
the thoroughness with which it is pack
ed into the soil. This does not neces-
sartly mean a lump of soil and q lump
of manure, but a grain Of manure with
a grain of soil.-Orange Judd Farmer.
