Feeding Runners.

One of the especially good points oil
the Runners, as the farmers look at it,
is that it can occupy waste, ground
and get much Of its living from it.
and when it has to be fed, will eat
cheap foods such as clover, bran, cut
green stuff (when confned), etc. Milk
is one of the best meat producers, and
can be used when meat is not avail
able.
To get three-ounce egg from each
duck five and six days out Of the
week, which is common enough at the
height of the season, makes any poul-
try-keeper feel as though he were re-
ceiving something for his pains.
Runner breeders have shown their
faith in what they were producing,
by sending eggs for personal testing
to editors of several of our poultry
papers. have seen no, report un-
favorable to these eggs. All spoke
of them as perfectly sweet and
scarcely to be told from hens eggs,
by the table test Miller Purvis, Mrs.
Grant M. Curtis and the editor Of the
Poultry Success are among those who
have reported favorably to the Run
ner eggs.
One correspondent writes me that
he took into town some eggs to be
photographed, and people begged to
buy them until he had none to take
home, while other orders followed him
home. All this when he was trying
Tot to sell them.
The Indian Runner is going all
over the South on the dead run" max
ing place for itself. Progressive
farmers and poultry men there see
that here may be the best opportun-
ity of their lives A large number of
people are raising them as "dry-land
ducks" with only pals and tubs for
supply Of water.
This means much work, as ducks
need water all the time, and they
waste considerable. People are max
ing money with them on this basis,
but it is not as "easy money as where
they can take care of themselves on
pond OF stream as soon as well feath-
cred.
A concrete pond is a good solution
of this matter if there is slope enough
to drain it properly and water enough
near to pipe into it.

en- weigh two pounds in ten weeks.
The meat is delicious.
A certain little flock of farm ducks,
in which l have been much interested
as their record climbed and continued
to climb during 1911, was reported as
having laid exactly 200 eggs average
in the ten months between January
10 and November %, 1911.
These birds are owned by Mrs. Mol
lie McClaughry Allen of Oswego, N
Y, who has done quite little accept
able institute work in the past. They
are of the English-bred penciled stock,
White Runner as Favorite.
There are many of the more promi-
nent poultry-raisers of the country
who believe that the White Runner
will take the popular fancy as no 9th
er Runner has yet done. Nearly
every buyer is eager in praise Of
them. One, whose letter comes in
today, says: Il love them; they are
very shapely, trim as a trivet.' all of
which is right in line with American
ideals"
Although happier on the water, the
Runners are really most attractive
on land. It is to be understood
that these poses are not the usual
travelling carriage, but are the poses
of alertness- upon danger or something
especially interesting appearing
The English standard asks for
carriage of 55 to 65 degrees when In
motion. 1t will help to judge of this.
if we remember that the diagonal OF
a square is 9 45-degree line. Draw
line from one corner Of a square to
another and you have body angle
of most of the Runners as saw them
at this show. AS these were selected
birds, it will be seen that bird of
this carriage when not alert is pret-
ty fair bird.

The United States, by formal proclamation
and by natural logic, remains neutral. Though

Of Europe and the frontiers shake with march

to the belligerents of both sides So far as Ha
waii is concerned, this feeling should hold
good in this comparatively small community.
Friends may without sacrificing honor or

THE OMNIBUS RfGICo OUTLOOK

In the overwhelming interest of Europeau
war news, a brief dispatch Yesterday from Sal
tillo, Mexico, hardly received attention from
the reading public and vet it conveyed news of
one of the most important Developments in the
Mexican situation since Huerta quit the presi.
dency. g..
Negotiations for a peaceful transfer of Mex,
leo City from the Huerta faction still in power
to the COnstitutionalists have failed Carba-
jail, Huertas successor, has laid down terms
that Carranza declines to entertain. The con-
sequence is that Gen. Villa and his army, now
grown to the formidable proportions of 10000
fghting-men, will march on the capital and
take by force what they have failed to get by
peaceful agreement.
Had Mexico City been transferred peaceful
" to the Constitutionalists, it is almost certain
that President Wilson would have recognized
the new government and begun preparations
to withdraw the American troops from Vera
Cruz Two weeks ago President Wilson's
plan, according to the dispatches sent out from
Washington, was to agree tacitly to an ALSO
lutte dictatorship established by Carranza, with
the explicit understanding that Carranza
would Immediately proceed to put into effect
the agrarian and election reforms demanded by
the president
But President Wilson has also let it be
known that il Mexico City is occupied by vio-
lence, interyell ion by American troops imay

therefore raise the question as to whether
Huertas abdication has really removed the

Al ARGUMENT FOR LEASING HDHfsrtlDs

"A striking suggestion upon public land pol
lev In Hawaii comes from DIR. Victor s. Clark,
Former commissioner of immigration here. On
Saturday the Star Bulletin published excerpts
from an article he has written which appears
in The Outlook for July %. In closing the ar
ticle he says:
sAlthough Hawaii is in the hands of an hon
est government and upright business men,
whose collective influence is toward social and
political betterment, the Capitalization of in
UUstrial control deters the best class of immi-
grafton, especially of people with small CAPT
tai. from the mainland of the United States.
Contrary to general sentiment in the Territory,
the writer believes that the present policy of
alternating public lands in fee simple might
wisely be changed to a policy of leasing in
small tracts subject to cultivation and resi-
dence requirements, to actual settlers Any
policy of absolute alienation will probably re-
suit in the absorption of the small holdings
thus created into the large estates; and the ter
fitory is meantime losing a valuable asset that
ought to be source of permanent revenue.
Leasing is open to the objection that it might
create strong party of government lease
holders, constantly jockeying for special privi-
Ieges But il the leasing law were federal
statute, like the present Territorial Home
stead Law, this danger would be minimized.
The objection to- alienation in fee simple is
not alone that it does not prevent the ultimate
acquisition of the public lands by large pro
prietors- and Hawaii already has the evil of
dummy demonstrating hut that it permits too
great latitude, in evasion of existing regula-
lions, for sub-leasing to Asiatic aliens, thus
causing the Caucasian depopulation of home
stead neighborhoods.
ssEnough of the land of the territory re-
ouires irrigation to make land and water
questions inseparable. At present so many of
the water rights are privately owned that the
of rural enterprise is thereby af-
feefed. ultimately the public may have to-
Imy hack the water on the islands in order to-
assure it's economical and adequate develop
ment and equitable distribution In connec
ton with both land and water it should be
horne IN mind that a very small country can
stand more government ownership than big
one, and that in Hawaii questions that the

standpoint shrink almost to municipal proper
tons"
DIR. Clark's suggestion is interesting The
difficulty is presented of securing settlers will
ing to undergo the arduous experience of piO-
neCring with no hope of ultimately owning
their land in fee simple. If the government
merely leases the land, it will probably have
to add to its offer of farming.space some at
traction such as agricultural credit for the set
tier; otherwise the wOuld-be small farmer is
not likely to risk his chances Of livelihood. He
will prefer to lease land from some plantation
or corporation that will assure him market
for his goods or his labor.

WHAT THE SUGAR BEET GROWERS THINK

What the sugarbeeti growers think of the
outlook for their industry under the Demo
cratic tariff law is shown in cold, calm figures
in a bulletin of the department of agriculture
The area of sugar beets planted in 1914 was
is per cent less than in 1913, and amounted to
about $4,000 acres. In Idaho and Utah q
greater area was planted this year than last
year, but in the other states there was de-
crease. The area harvested for 1913 was about
81 per cent of the area planted for the entire
United States The table shows in detail the
area planted in the two years:
