and Black East Indians.
For real practical purposes, l only
recommend the first four classes and
in the order that have named them,
the Pekin being the most extensively
bred and probably as good as an all
round market duck as there is today
but they are the most timid, and con-
sequently more liable to get panic
stricken when raised In large num-
bers, says a writer in an exchange.
Standard weight OF adult brakes,
eight pounds; ducks, seven pounds.
AS to laying qualities the Pekins
are outclassed only by a single breed.
1t Is common thing for Pekin duck
to lay from 100 to 1875 eggs in a single
season.

FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Snapshot of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control Of Mexico.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a
pail of water for a few hours. SO that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living room, for
they are not used to such a tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in n
cool place. or better still, plunge inc
stems up to the flowers in a pail of
water. Fourth, cut about a quarter OF
an inch off each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water. but it pays. If yoN cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water-Delineator.

BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH

Monroe, Wis.-"When my baby wac
six weeks old there came a rash on
his face which finally spread until 1t
got nearly all over his body. 1t form
ed crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible. When he
would scratch the crust, the water
would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body it was in a dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights l would lie awake
holding his hands so that he could not
scratch and disfigure himself. l tried
simple remedies at first, then got
medicine, but 1t did no good.

FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGGS
Though Nearly Half Water, Their
Contents Are Extremely Nutritious
Companion With Meat.

Many persons often ask what an
egg is made of, but strange to say
few ever find out to their entire salts
faction. A test at the department of
agriculture shows that the white of an
egg is nearly seven-eighths water, the
balance being nearly pure albumen.
The yolk is slightly less than one-half
water. This is true of the eggs of
chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. In
comparing the eggs of these various
birds the department of agriculture
quotes the following figures:
Hen eggs, 90 per cent water, 16
per cent. protein &c per cent fat.
Goose eggs, A per cent. water, 10
per cent. protein, &c per cent. fat.
Duck eggs, sc per cent water, II
per cent. protein, SO per cent. fat.
Turkey eggs, As per cent. water, IS
per cent. protein, 33 per cent. fat.
OF course, farmers understand that
protein goes to make muscle and
blood, while fat is fuel for running the
machinery of the body Thus 1t will
be seen that eggs, though half or near
ly half water, are extremely nutritious,
containing all the elements required
for the building and support of the
body. There is no truth, however, in
the old saying that an egg contains
as much nutriment as a pound of
steak. 1t would be nearer correct to
estimate a pound of eggs as being
equal to pound of lean steak in nu-
tritious value.
