The Minneapolis Symphony orchestra lis planning a short southern tour for next February. Manager Wendell
 Heighton has written to friends here that he hopes to have a booking in Birmingham. He says that the full or chestra. numbering now about 80 men, will appear in the south for the first time. The Minneapolis symphony is one of the finest orchestras in the United States. It was heard in number of festival concerts at the Jefferson thea tre two years ago.
 The St. Louis Symphony orchestra, which gave such great delight when it
 had it's first appearance in Birming-
 ham on May as feature of the mu- sic festival, will probably give two or three concerts in this city during the winter season. Symphony music is
 much more generally appreciated now than 1t was 10 or Is years ago, and a first class orchestra can count on a good audience in every city of approx imately Birminghams size. Excellent reports were made by the retiring officers of the Arion club at meeting held recently and the fol- lowing resolutions were passed unan- imously:
 whereas, the Arion club has just completed the most successful season in It's history; and

on legs. This upright carriage is most distinctive feature.
 Another unmistakable characteristic is the long, lean and very flat head and bill The line from the crown of the head to the tip of the bill should be straight, or very nearly so. The eye is placed very high in the head. giving the appearance of being on top of the skull.
 In the fawn and white variety, which is shown in the illustration, the color should be as follows: Bill yellow and greenish yellow, with black beak; shanks and toes, orange red, and eyes dark brown.
 The head is fawn and white, darker in the male than in other parts of the body. A white line divides the cap from the cheek patches, and also the base of the bill from the head markings The neck is white to a point about two inches above the base, fawn below. This fawn color continues down the breast to a point midway between the point of the hreastbone and the legs, and then give way to white.

cause the birds any annoyance, but pres ently the victims appear lame, and it is said that in severe cases the toes some times drop off.
 The Scaly-Leg Mite The exciting cause is tiny mites, which burrow between the scales and into the skin, where they live and breed. The crusty deposits are formed as a result of | their. activities, and considerable irrita- | ton is set up.
 l Diagnosis of the trouble Is simple. The | skin on shanks and feet of healthy fowls | is normally smooth and pliable. Any roughening, especially when accompanied !, by the crusty deposits, indicates the | presence of the mites. Treatment must be individual. Some poultrymen dip the legs and feet of the patients into pure kerosene oil. This is effective. but it Is unnecessarily harsh. i If any of the oil gets up on to the feath- cred portion of the legs the skin will be | burned.
 l The difficulty may be overcome by the 1 addition of melted lard to the kerosene.
 Equal parts of lard and oil is the usual
 mixture.
 l These fluid remedies may be quickly
 applied by placing them in deep vessel | of some kind and mmersing therein the | legs and feet of the birds. 1 If an ointment is preferred to liquids, they may be easily compounded Equal
 parts of vaseline and zinc ointment make
 good mixture. oil of caraway, one | part. and white vaseline, five parts, are | also recommended. These ointments | should be carefully rubbed into leg and
 foot every few days until a cure Is ef- l fected. This treatment is to be preferred 1 for use on show birds, where it Is essen
 tial that the parts be kept smooth and | free from scars.
 Causes Loss of Feathers | The depluming mite Is even smaller
 than the scaly-leg mite. It lives at the base of the smaller feathers. causing
 these to break off at the surface of the 1 skin. This trouble Is sometimes called | scabes.
 The trouble is most common in warm
 weather. Bare patches will appear on l various parts of the body, as the trump, neck, breast and back.
 l Freauently the affected birds will be | observed to pull out the feathers from I their own bodies and those of their com | panions While the trouble does not cause | the death of the victims, it certainly must l cause annoyance and reduce their er- | ficiency.
 | Again individual treatment is indicated.
 hRub the infested areas with any of the I ointments above recommended; or go further, and dip the birds. head and heels, l in a solution of any good disinfectant. | The commercial coal-tar preparations are l best for this purpose.
 Of course, this dipping should be done l on warm days, in order that the birds

 Drakes weigh AZ pounds; ducks, 1 pounds. Of course this makes too small bird to be of use as producer of regu- lar market stock The flesh, though linn ited in quantity, is high in quality, ana for those who desire small table birds 1t proves satisfactory
 But the Indian Runners claim to utility value lies in its ability as producer of eggs. It is said that certain individuals have made records approaching 300 eggs n the year and that certain strains aver age F to l5 dozen per year. These figures have not been officially authenticated. but it is a fact that these birds are truly wonderful layers. The eggs have white shells are large as compared with hens eggs and find ready sale. In some markets they are sold as selected hens eggs. In 'thers they are. classed as Runner Duck ggs, and bring premium above regular quotations on ordinary "hen fruit"
 The birds are hardy and easy to man. ge Youngsters make rapid growth, and ome to laying maturity early. In view their undeniable value, it is safe to redict that Indian Runner Ducks will be red extensively in the future.

Then with the fingers work this into the base of the feathers
 As an additional precaution, rub a small
 amount of blue ointment on the fluffy
 feathers about the vent.
 This treatment should be repeated sev- eral times at short intervals in order to destroy the young lice which hatch from
 the eggs already deposited. After the birds are freed from the lice an occasion- al treatment will keep the latter in check. Young chicks may be dusted and greased with lard. Rub the latter into the down on head. neck, under wings and the rear of the abdomen.
 Troublesome as these body lice are, they actually cause less loss than the common red mites. The latter are blood suckers. piercing the skin of their victims and drawing out the blood. When present in large numbers they kill many birds, and greatly weaken those which survive the repeated attacks.
 These spiderlike parasites are very small in size, gray in color, excepting when they contain blood. Then they are red. They do not remain on the bodies of their hosts, but live in the filth, cracks and creyices about the roasting quarters or nests. Frequently they become establish ed in breeders and there thrive amazingly From their hiding places they make raids upon the hens and chicks which may
 
 Mites are most active during warm weather. Apparently they lie dormant during the cold season, as they seem to be able to do without food for months at a time.
 Infested buildings must be given viz orous and thorough treatment. First clean everything with great care. Re- move nesting material, litter. dirt of all | kinds. Then use the lice paint liberaliy Work the liquid into every crack and crevice. Wet every square inch of the | woodwork about the roosts. Saturate the nest boxes.

 At this season of the year it is well to call especial attention to the danger of permitting little chicks to eat rosebugs. This common bug causes much mortal ity each season. as experienced poultry men are well aware.

The first sight of the Indian Runner Duck invariably excites amusement. The odd shape, coupled with the stilty and peculiar carriage, gives this duck most extraordinary and grotesque appearance.
 On better acquaintance amusement gives place to respect, when the remarkable qualities of this duck are fully appre- ciated. It is not thing of beauty, but it is most distinctly a business bird.
 The original stock was brought from India to England prior to the middle of the last century. Other importations have been made, even as late as 1906.
 The name runner ducks evidently comes from the peculiar gait of these birds, which Is unlike that of other ducks They do not waddle along, but run or trot wherever they go.
 Two varieties of Indian Runner Ducks are bred in America-tawn and white and the pure white. The latter is a sprout from the first named variety, and is less extensively bred than the other kind
 In body conformation these ducks are tall and slender, much like soda bottle
