AYLESBURY DUCKS
BY Louis Paul Graham

Though one. of the oldest known va
rieties of domestic duck, Aylesbury
ducks are yet the favorite breed OF
England.
According to many writers white
ducks have been known for centuries
and there seems to be no account OF
the origin of the Aylesbury. This has
been and is the leading market duck
of England, although it has been en-
ltirely driven out of America by
the Pekin duck. English epicures
prefer white skin and light legs and
leaks on all their table poultry, both
ducks and chickens, while American
tastes refuse these for table poultry,
preferring yellow skin, bills and legs.
For marketing purposes the Ayles-
bury is easily the best of English mar
ket ducks on account of its rapid
growth and early maturity. Like the
Pekin, Aylesbury ducklings can be
produced in from I to 3 weeks, weigh
ing from to ) Il pounds. At this age
and size they bring best prices and
some sections of Great Britain are de-
voted entirely to this duck rearing in
dustrN. Quickness of growth is an i'm
portant factor in respect to the pro-
fit gained, as the young ducklings are
heavy feeders.
AS layers AYlesburys are considered
second to the Pekin, many females
laying as many as $50 eggs in year.
1t is important to the commercial
duck grower that these eggs be laid

Why My Husband Left Me

! face when he saw my purchase, and
realized that | had thrown away his
good money on stuff that was worse
| than useless. But I was tearfully re-
! pentant and he was idiotically in love
4 with me, and so he attributed my
folly to my lack of experience, and
blamed himself for not having real
lied that a young girl not used to
: handling money would not know how
/ to spend il wisely.
! But that was only the beginning
! of my career of extravaganza. | fairly
! lived in the shops, and | could never
see a thing without wanting il and
! buying it, no matter how well l knew
that l could not afford it. My hus-
( band was a man on a moderate salary
yet | INDUCED myself in $50 hats, and
| Paris gowns. and hand made lingerie
I Worse, the very sight of bargain
seemed to stir me into a sort OF
I frenzy. and when the madness was on
me | bought recklessly whatever was
being sold without regard to need.
HE ENPOSTULATIiS.
"Of course. the. result was that
ran my husband into debt ] owed
everywhere that ! could get dol
lars worth of credit. There was not
; a day that the bill collectors were not
at our door. | took the rent money
and paid a little here and little
I
we were served with dispossess no.
tice for rent that Jack thought was
already paid
AT first Jack reasoned with me
lovingly and tenderly about my eX-
travagance. He told me of his am
bition to get an interest in the firm
in which he worked and how he had
saved and sacrificed for that, and that
there would be an opportunity soon
to buy a little block of stock in 1t
if he had the money, but that this
opportunity would be lost to him If
he had to spend every cent on my
bills.
II loved him. | wanted to help him,
but | could not control my mania for
spending. and so his cherished savings
went to pay for my debauCheries of
shopping. Then Jack scolded me for
my eXtrava gance, and / grew afraid
of him and hid them. and lied about
them as long as | could, and our life
was one succession of scenes.
FINALLY the bill collectors began
bounding Jack in his office, and then
he came to me, his face stern and
white, and told me that he was going
to leave me. You have ruined my
life with your extravaganza he said;
you have broken my heart and
wrecked our home, but am not going
to let you make a slave of me any
longer. l am not going to spend my
life toiling for milliners and dress
makers. | am going to make you an
allowance that will be paid to you
through a lawyer, and I am going to
take steps to stop your credit and
prevent you from running me into
debt any further
And that was the end. l have re-
pented i'm saCkcloth and ashes, but
you cannot call the dead to life again,
and of all dead things nothing is so
dead as dead love. ! have slain my
husbands love, and there is no resur-
rection day for dead love.

BY DOROTHY DIN.

p 81 lost my husband" said the sixth
woman, Through my extravaganza.
las there are men who are cursed
with the mania for drink, so there
are women who are cursed by mania
for spending, and the one breaks up
just as many homes as the other, and
causes as much misery | am one of
the women to whom the allurement of
shopping is as irresistible a tempta-
tion as the glitter and odorS of the
saloon are to any drunkard and in
dulgence in my weakness brought me
TO ruin just as surely as indulgence in
his weakness ever brought a man to
the gutter.
There never was a finer man than
the one / married lie was sober,
moral, upright, a man with big
heart and a wide, wise vision of life.
He was a sef-made man in the very
best sense of the word, for he had
been a poor boy, and at the time of
our marriage had, by sheer pluck and
ability, raised himself to a respon-
sible position in the firm in whose
service he had begun as an Office boy,
and the future lay bright and prom
ising before him, with every prospect
of success.
1--WE began our married life in the
traditional rose-wreathed cottage in
pretty suburb. Before we were mar
ried Jack had explained his circum-
stances fully to me, and had told me
that while we could have all the COM
forts of life and some of the luXuries,
for a few years we would have
to be economical, and count our pen
MES. He also told me Just how much
he could give me as an allowance to
run the house on and for NY own
expenditures, so that | have not even
the poor excuse that many women
make for their wasting, that my hus-
band kept me in the dark, and | did
not know what | could afford to
spend.
Il began our married life with a
crime. Jack had given me "A generous
check with which to buy the furniture
for our ne whome. Spend ii as you
please, of course, darling he said to
me, for / want you to have every
thing as nearly to your taste as possi
BILE, but remember that this is every
cent that ] can give you now, so get
the things that we are absolutely
bound to have first. and then add the

HER FIRST MISTAKE.
We'll, | went down to a big furni-
ture store to buy our furniture. and
the first thing | did ! stumbled into
sale of ornate and gilded trumpery
furniture with spindling gilt legs and
pale satin brocades. suitable only for
the boudoir of millionairess, and be-
fore l realized what / had done | had
spent the most of my money on this
foolish junk. The few dollars that
were left I hastily invested in cheap
and hideous beds and chairs and a
riclety. dining table, and as this was
not enough for even the essentials of
housekeeping. | had to go a couple of
hundred dollars in debt.

wilderment that came over Jacks

In recognition of the prices which
are offered for special product, as
shown above it becomes the duty OF
the poultry keeper to produce eggs
of a kind and quality which the mar
ket demands This is especially true
if the price for such a product makes
it worth while and it usually does.
For example, in New York, the buyer
pays a premium for white shelled eggs
over brown of from three to eighteen
cents per dozen, the average being
about five cents. 1t is Therefore, the
duty of the poultry farmer shipping
eggs to that market to cater to that
special trade.
To Insure Good Quality
Practice Sanitary Production. I'm
sanitary methods in handling the poul-
try flock mean tainted and impure
eggs. This taint may be due to filth,
mould or general unsanitary condi-
tions. The poultry house should be
kept from unnecessary filth. 1t should
be well lighted and ventilated. The
dropping should be removed frequent
ly and the nests kept filled with plenty
of clean nesting material
Plenty of nests should be provided
so that the birds will not crowd, and
thus break the eggs, and so that the
eggs will not be laid on the floor to
become broken and dirty. one nest
should be available for every four
hens. The eggs should be collected
frequently, not less than once day.
Care in production means not only
clean eggs but healthy flock which
is capable of greater production.
Provide Plenty of Clean Litter:
Clean litter on the floor of the house
and clean nesting material are COM
mon requisites. During the winter and
early Spring when the ground outside
is wet and muddy it is the best prac-
tice to keep the birds closely confined
to the house This is especially true
If commercial egg production is the
object. for by so doing they are pre-
vented from getting their feet dirty
which soils the litter, and nesting ma
terial and hence the eggs. Straw
makes the best nesting material, being
always sweet and clean.
Look Out for Blood Spot Eggs
Avoid the Shipping of Eggs Contain
ing Blood Spots. - Eggs containing
dark spots are worthless for the trade.
This may be due to a partially incu-
bated embryo, in which case such eggs
are termed spots" or 1t may be due
to an accumulation OF clotted blood
caused by an injury to the ovi-duct
while the egg was being formed. The
first type of blood sppot can
be eliminated by producing infer
tile eggs. Such infertile eggs are al
ways in greater demand. They bring
slightly higher prices. They can be
shipped long distances under undesir-
able conditions without danger of loss
in quality. Eggs should never be
taken from the incubator, although
they appear to be infertile, nor should
