After several months of constant
work of most delicate character,
the powder-burned, bullet Scared
Star Spangled Baner," which float
at above Fort McIIcnry hundred
years ago when the British fleet was
repulsed while attempting to reach
Baltimore, has been preserved for
posterity. The faded and tattered
remnants Of the flag during the sum
mer were subjected to process Of
restoration, which il is believed will
prevent further disintegration of the
fabric. In an illustrated article the
December Popular Mechanics Magn-
zine says:
"The work of preservation was ac-
complished by backing the banner
with specially woven Irish linen. The
flag was basted to this. care being
taken that not n single thread should
be stretched too tightly, after which
the final sewing required weeks of
time to complete. and took the serv-
ices of more than dozen needle.
workers. Linen thread, dyed to
match the different colors. was used
worcement the work being done 50 G
in stitching the banner to its rein
forement, the work being done so
closely that Il now gives the flag
honeycombed appearance over its en-.
tire surface. II is estimated that
more than a million and n half stitch
es were taken. No attempt was made
to pntch the battle-torn holes. since
the effort was to preserve, not re-
store, the baner."

Stockton, California; buzzard's
feather is really better, but if You
haven't one, n quail feather will serve
the same purpose IA II powerful "
ray machine. according to DR.. Bar
ton j. Powell of this city. who has
sent bunch of the feathers to the
state university for experimental
purposes.
DIR. Powell says that while hunt
ing in the Sierra Nevadas an old in
dian called the fact to his attention.
Taking feather from quail he
was surprised when the indian held
il before the physicians eyes and
put his hand up to the light. The
bones of the hand were plainly Wis
ible through the flesh. o.
The indian said feathers had been
used from time immcmorial by his
tribesmen rs an aid in setting broken
bones. lie added that the penetrat.
ing power of bnzzard's feather en-
ceeded all others. but that any feath-
or produced the X-rav effect to some
extent.

Washington, d. C.-Indignation is
expressed ut the National Woman's
Suffrage headquarters over the re-
ports that are coming in fom Ohio.
where an equal suffrage amendment
to the constitution was defeated in
the recent election. A formal state
ment from the Ohio suffragists will
show that while the suffragists sup
ported the dry cause in the election.
the drys did not reciprocate. An in
formal report issued by the suffa-
gists of Summit county, Ohio, states
that the figures indicate that some
of the vets voted for the suffrage
amendment.
although there were 1924 votes
east in this county for home rule,
an out-and-out wet amendment, there
were only ll,279 votes east against
suffrage. Nealry II thousand men
voted wet but did not oppose suf-
frage and probably some of them
actually voted for it," says the re-
port.
"And what were the drys doings
They east l4,72l votes for prohi-
bition, while suffrage received only
9.2l5 votes in this county. II looks
as il more than $500 dry voters vot-
ed against Us, or what is Just rs bad,
did not vote ut all.
"And these figures stand out in
the face of the fact that we talked
prohibition every chance we got and
did all the work we possibly could
for the cause.
Eve were afraid of the wet vote.
From the looks of things we might
have looked for more trouble from
those we thought were our friends.
II really seems that prohibition md
suffrage do not go together, after
ALL"
The report concludes with the as
sertion that an analysis of the state
results will show similar situation
throughout Ohio.

VALUE OF HOME ECONOMICS IN THE RURAL SCHOOL

At this time when so much Is being
said regarding vocational training, ap-
piled science, practical arts and the
other changing factors in our educa-
tional system and ideals it is well
worth while to take look backward
In the days of our grandmothers and
grandfathers everybody studied in a
trade school; that trade school was
their own home and from the moment
they began to crawl on the floor
among the looms and spinning wheels
they entered the Industrial world.
Training came through manual labor,
and in acquiring it they gained a
certain superiority Of judgment, an
expertness in the use of their hands
and eyes which only work with the
fingers can give. Reading, writing and
ciphering were the only cultural sub
jects offered them, later geography,
grammar, higher arithmetic and alge-
bra, and an elementary history aug
mented their home training. With
the growing up of the factory system
the industry of the home shifted to
the factory, its educational province
to the school and there passed from
the parents the cultural as well as the
Industrial training of their children.

BAD FEATHER-EATING HABIT
Chief Cause Is Undoubtedly Presence
of DepIuming Mites-Make the
/ Hens Work for Feed.

There are two chief causes for the
loss of feathers from the head and
neck, feather eating and depluming
mites. The latter is undoubtedly the
chief cause, and often leads to the
former habit.
These mites live on the epidermal
debris at the base Of the feathers and
cause the feathers to break off at the
surface of the skin. These mites will
also be found around the rump OF the
fowl, where the feathers are also lost.
For the control of these mites the
following ointment is good: Flowers
of sulphur, one dram; carbonate Of
potash. 20 grains; lard Of vaseine.
half ounce. The flock is usually in
tested by the introduction Of one or
more birds having the mites. 1t will
spread quite rapidly through the
flock.
The feather eating due to this mite
is caused by the irritation they cause
the birds. They will start picking
their own feathers, and later the
feathers Of others. The ordinary habit
of feather eating can be checked by
making the hens work for their feed
and furnishing them wellbalanced
ration.

Farm management problems are
among the most difficult which the
farmer has to solve Each crop grown
is business by itself; likewise each
class of live stock involves its own
peculiar difficulties, and it becomes the
province Of the farmer to so select and
fit these business problems together
that they will work out tremendously
and profitably. No wonder that the
farmer is fast coming to be classed
among the great business men of our
country!
Foremost among the farm manage
ment problems which the farmer
meets are the consideration of econ
omy of time and labor. Far from be-
ing the least in Importance of these
matters, and one all too little needed
by the average farmer, is the problem
of so laying out the farm into fields
and SO locating gates, fences and build
ings that the minimum of time and
energy may be used in performing the
regular labor of the farm. Some of
the principles which should be kept
in mind in this farm division and arch
itecture will be given and explained in
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1914-09-01

this article, and the accompanying dia-
gram will furnish a more accurate idea
of how farm so laid out accomplishes
the benefits stated in the principles in
volved. In presenting this diagram the
writer fully understands that compare
lively few farms of Kentucky would
lend themselves accurately to such di-
visions. He also fully recognizes that
an improved farm, when once the
buildings and fences are located, can
not be wisely brought to any partic-
ular adjustment in a short time. How
ever, on every farm new fences are
being built, new buildings constructed,
and new adjustments of fields are con-
stantly being made, consequently it is
we'll for every farmer to carry in mind,
or even to diagram, plans for this farm
architecture much in advance of the
performance of the operations.
The accompanying diagram repre-
sents farm of $40 acres; $50 rods
along the pike and 240 rods in depth.

RAISING OF MUscovY DUCK
Fowls Have Several PecuIIaritles
Which Make Them DistIrct From
others-MaIe 10 Pugnaelous.
Ry @. al HoWARpl

NBy j. A. HOW AtSl.)
.Muscovy ducks form distinct
genus, having several peculiarities
which make them different from 9TH
ers. They are sometimes called the
musk duck. owing to the odor OF
musk which pervades the skin. but
which is not noticeable when cooked.
In Brazil they are extensively domes-
ticated and are priced very highly for
eating. In this country and Europe,
particularly in Germany, they are bred
In large numbers. Wild muscov1es
are easily frightened and very good
alarmed and remain there for long
periods OF time before leaving their
place OF concealment. They some
times build their nests in branches OF
trees, and also in hollows near water.
Muscovy ducks are very unsatisfac-
tory birds to keep on the farm with
other poultry, owing to their quarrel
some and pugnacious natures. In the
wild state, the males fight desperately,
doing great harm to each other; and
this fighting, quarrelsome disposition
is inherited by the domestic duck. The
temper of the drake is spoken OF as
abominable; his persecution Of other
poultry is never ceasing, and he Is
credited with having attacked even
children when his "dander was up.
The flesh of the muscovy is considered
very good when they are young, and
compares favorably with that Of any
other duck. They do not lay nearly
so many eggs as the common kinds.
When raising these ducks their wings
must be clipped to keep them from
flying.
The head of the muscovy duck is
rather long, and in the drake it Is
large, the top being covered with long
crest-like feathers, which rise and fall
when the bird is alarmed. The face
is the most distinctive part of these
ducks. the cheeks being naked. with a
