Many persons suffer from poor

The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
iniuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, toe
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes good
memory nearly impossible.

MUSC0VY DUCK is

We have in the Muscoyy one of the
most prolific of al the varieties of
ducks, especially for the farmer.
Young ducks marketed before Christ

lings 81 each.
The size is one of the strongh holds
of this breed, but they are not salts.
factory If you wish TO market them al
ten or twelve weeks, as they will not
mature so rapidly as the Pekin. How.
ever, they can be raised on about halt
quire and thu are very hardy and
splendid foragers
We have raised large broods in the
open fields, never feeding them and
find they are very much like the tur-
key in this respect Those wishing
an ornamental as we'll as the most
profitable OF all the ducks will find the
Muscovy satisfactory.
They make scarcely any noise un-
less molested, and are less of a pud-
der than any of the other varieties,
and they can be kept where any other
variety would make anything filthy
They make fine cross with any
variety of duck and make grand ta-
BILE fowl when crossed with the Pekin.
We are breeding all varieties OF
ducks and find either the pure bred or
the crossed birds proft-producers.
The progeny of the cross-bred birds
will not breed and are like the Cana
dian geese in this respect.
The Museoyy is found wild in South
America and Brazil and they are ex.
tensively domesticated In Europe,
where they are bred in great num-
bers
They live to a good old age, as we
have one female in flock eight years
old and has won many first pre-
miums.
