The Duck Yard.

Always keep the roosting place both
for young and old stock in dry con-
dition. For breeding stock, the main
food should be one-third corn and two
thirds whe&t mixed (whole). If pos
sible, give them a pond of water to
swim in, but this is not at all neces-
sary.
During the laying season, give them
comfortable quarters at night and
plenty of clean straw to sit on, and
do not let them out of their enclosure
until or 9 o'clock in the morning.
as by that time they will have all
their eggs laid, and they are then in
a nice and clean condition. They
should be fed as early as possible.

face without leaving q scar. Pimples
broke out all over my face, red and
large. They festered and came to
head. They itched and burned and
caused me to scratch them and make
sores. They said they were seed
warts. At night was restless from
itching. When the barber would
shave me my face would bleed terri
bly,. Then scabs would form after
wards, then they would drop off and
the so-called seed warts would come
back again. They were on my face
for about nine months and the trou-

able stations was 65, compared with
the present percentage of so. By
declining to patronize grade and
scrub stations owners of mares may
soon make these sires a negligible
quantity in Wisconsin. The amend
ed stallion law provides that the en-
rollment certificates of these Perch

stations shall expire on January 1
of each year and must be renewed
before the first day of April follow
ing. The fee for renewal of a certi-
ficate is so cents. Another important
amendment is to the effect tina: all
stations previously certified to as
sound by owners affidavits must be
examined and certified to by legally
qualified veterinarians to entitle their
enrolment certificates to renewal.

Care of Poultry.

Beginners in the poultry business
are likely to neglect their flock dur
ing the time they are not yielding re-
turns, and often fail to figure the fu-
ture consequences. Such beginners
cannot be successful in the poultry
business. Constant care, good feed
ing and fresh water are absolutely
necessary at all times. This holds
good from the time the chicks are
Matched until they go into the laying
house.

Sometimes the hen will sit down at
night in a low place and heavy
rain will fill the depression with water

DINNER BY PARCEL POST.
Hostess Served Real Country Chicken
Vegetables and Fruit.

"A dinner by parcel posti Why not?"
said a clever New York woman when she
heard of the new postal system that was
to be put in operation the first of the
year. There is nothing to prevent"
And so she planned a dinner to be ship
ped to her straight from the country on
the first day the new service became u
law. She wrote to relative in Con-
necticut and asked her to pack up secure
ly and mail a fine, big roasting chicken;
and e sent out to a large farm on Long
Island for market basket full of vege-
tables and fruit to complete the dinner-a
few choice potatoes, winter cauliflower,
cold-frame lettuce and large selected ap-
pies for dessert. She gave the farmer
office circulars, for packing these pro
ducts safely, and for Labelling them
warded without delay.
Everything arrived in first-rate condi-
ticn, just as She had anticipated, and to
make up his II pounds of allowed weight
the farmer had even packed in a dozen
beautiful new-laid eggs for her break
fast-veritable jewels in the month of
January in New York.
The luxurious part of this trial of the
parcel post" said the pleased recipient
ceived as the fact that I know just where
it came from, who handled it and how
long my food was on the way"
Doesn't this incident suggest hitherto
unthought, of possibilities to you?
If you are a city dweller would you
not appreciate farm products direct from
the country? Would you not like to know
exactly where your butter. for instance,
was chu-ned, and to be able to state be-
yond a doubt, These beans Cor these
strawberries) were picked only yesterday
morning at the Grange farm in Uplands;
had them sent especially to me by par
eel post
Do you pass your city fruit stands with
a sigh. thinking of the long way its ap-
pies and pears and peaches have Travelled
before they are offered to you for pur-
chase? Do you not sometimes think with
a shudder of the street dust that has gath
cred on them after an hours exposure on
the stand or, worse still, of the dirty fin
gers that have handled them repeatedly
the unspeakable cloth that has been used
to polish them up from time to time?
Would you not rejoice to know where
everything came frof7l-to find way of
supplying your tabl6 with less question

NOW He IS A JUDGE.
Acknowledges Taking Rakeoff on City
Contracts.

Albany, July 11.-Daniel F. Cohalan,
once a Tammany friend and adviser of
Charles F. Murphy, the present Tam
many leader, and now a supreme court
Justice in New York, took the stand
today before the legislative committee
appointed to investigate charges that
he had taken money for using his po-
litical influence to get city contracts
for John A. Connolly of New York.
The charges were brought by the griev-
ance committee of the New York Bar
association of which Cohalan has been
a member since 1904. Justice Cohalan
acknowledged that he had received
some of the money which Connolly tes-
titled the Victor Heating company had
paid him. Later the company brought
action to recover S., $40. He settled the
claim in full, although he denounced
the action today as "blackmail and
robbery" under the circumstances, he
said.
Il now think I made the greatest
mistake of my life"
Justice Cohalan acknowledged hav-
ing called on heads of city bureaus in
capacity of attorney for the Victor
company and had made recommends
tions which resulted in contracts for
city work.
Did you ever render a bill?' he was
asked.
"I never did," was the response, II
was never asked to do so.'
He denied that he had ever made an
arrangement for operating on a per-
centage basis for the company or had
ever made improper use of political
influence or conspiracy to destroy legal
evidence,

MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS
Many People VIII Receive State Saw.
ings Bank Checks.

Hundreds of checks will be mailed to
Topeka during the week before Christ
mas this year as result of a unique
savings plan which was inaugurated
at the State Savings Bank yesterday
morning. The bank has formed a
christmas Savings Club" which is
divided into four classes or methods
of making deposits and a first deposit
of as low as two cents can be made.
There is also a class in which five
cents is the first deposit, the amount
increasing five cents each week, and
the week before Christmas the member
will get check for SIS This class is
proving the most popular. The two
other classes reverse order of deposits.
Yesterday, the first day the plan was
in operation, 209 memberships were
taken out and the tellers were mighty
busy all day. The State Savings Bank
began advertising the plan in the State
Journal Mondayzsand the newspaper
lively to the columns of the State Jour-
nal. Men, women, boys and girls took
out memberships as fast as they could
be waited on, and the enrolment
started again early this morning.
Mr.. Macferran, president of the State
Savings Bank, in speaking of the club,
said: I'VE have been on the lookout
for plan that would encourage peo-
pie to save something if only small
amount. The average person seems to
think tina a bank does not desire the
