REGARDING DUCKS AND GEESE
Latter VIII Practically Take Care OF
Themselves If Given Free Range
of the Farm.

Never feed ducks without first pro-
viding plenty of fresh, clean water, as
the birds always take sip of water
after each mouthful Of food.
Ducks will often choke themselves
on dry food unless water is right at
hand.
A chicken will pick up the grit 1t
needs, but duck will not, therefore
it must be provided for them in their
food.
Young geese are ready for market
when the tips of their wings reach the
tail, or in about ten or twelve weeks.

If allowed free range of the farm
geese will practically take care of
themselves and only require a hand
full of grain once a day.
A swamp where other animals sell
dom go furnishes excellent pasturage
for geese in the late summer and early
fall as they find in such places tender
grass and roots and many fat, Juicy

BIG Ones Are Profitable.

Don't forget that although smaller

with less care, the larger ones bring

INTEREST IN ESTATE,
How Woman's Legal Status Has I'm.
proved In Iowa.

In Iowa a short time ago when a
married man died his wife got one
third of his possessions to have and
do with as she pleased. Now when
a married man dies the widow gets
all his possessions up to $500 and
if that sum is less than one-third of
the estate she gets the usual one
third to have and to do with as she
pleases, fee simple, in legal terms.
Fifty years ago when a married man
in Iowa died the widow got one-third
of the estate but the possession was
only a life estate" or she could
hold it but not dispose of it during
her life. If she had children, her
third or dover interest went to them
but if she had no children, the prop
erty reverted to her husbands rela,
tives and heirs.

Liked the Fish Too Well.

Hi C. Todd, the hardware man,
offered a $3.50 reel to the fisherman
bringing in the largest game fish on
Friday, May 18th. the only string
hitched to the proposition being that
the fish winning the prize was to be-
come the property of Mr.. Todd. AS
none of the lucky fishermen were
willing to part with their big fish the
reel is still the property of Mr.. Todd.
There were a number of good ones
brought in and weighed, however.
Cecil Kerr got a pickerel weighing
pounds and IL ounces; Billy"
Lutz got one which weighed 4 lbs,
9 ounces; James Clark's pickerel
weighed A pounds, ounces, and Bill
Serfos had a pike which weighed 3
pounds and IL ounces. While the
opening days fishing was not as good
as some years, there was pretty
good lot of good fish caught.-Wa-

TAUGHT BABCOCK TEST.
Innovation in Agricultural Work i'm
Schools at Owasa.

Des Moines, May ga suggestion
as to one line of education in the
course of agriculture that after this
year will be required in every school
of Iowa comes from Hardin county.
At Owasa the pupils were given the
Babcock test for milk and taught
how to use the same. Then the state
food and dairy department, on re-
quest, furnished the questions that
are asked for examination of milk
testers and these were given the pu-
pills as an examination. A dozen
or twenty of the examination papers
resultant therefrom were sent to
Commissioner Barney to show the re-
suits of the simple lessons in care
and testing milk. The papers show
ed the pupils have very good idea
of the principles underlying the milk
problem and that when these farm
boys and girls turn their attention in
practical way to dairying on their
own farms they will be we'll equipped
for good results. The department
suggests that this would be a good
thing in the school course in agricul-
ture; in fact, it has long been con-
templated that an effort be made
to introduce into the rural schools
some practical lessons in dairying
with view to improving the quality
of the butter from the farms.
