a Mvn;e;n,i Pie, md Railway

A Municipal Pier and Railway.
The municipal pier recently dedicat.
ed in Santa Cruz is the result Of the
work of a committee Of private citi.
zens who realized the need for water
transportation facilities in addition to
rail facilities at Santa Cruz, in order
to forward the city's Industrial inter
ests. Santa Cruz in former years de.
pended entirely upon the Southern Pa
ci1c railroad. The fine harbor which
Monterey bay provides made shipping
by water easily possible. however. The
citizens therefore voted almost unani-
mously in favor of issuing bonds in the
sum Of $4,000 for the building Of a
municipal pier. The pier was CON-
pleted in December. It is a little over
half a mile long and eighty feet wide
at its outer end. A railway, also rnu-
nicipally owned and operated. runs its
entire length. and this connects with
the Southern Pacific railroad at It's
shore terminus. also with the Ocean
Shore railroad. Two lines Of steamers
now touch at the port Of Santa Cruz.
It is said that a decided Improvement
has already been observed in the city
as a result Of the construction Of the
municipal pier. 4

Temperature at Which to Hold Them

Were it possible we would prefer not

to incubate them the day they were
laid. writes a correspondent of the Ma
tional Stockman. l believe there is no
better way than to initiate nature as
closely as we can in all branches Of
the poultry industry. 1t is natural for
the hen to lay her first clutch Of eggs
in April or May or possibly June. At
that time the weather is usually quite
mild-that is, we rarely have any freez-
ing temperature.
The hen does not seem to worry
much about the weather. She makes
her nest in q secluded. we'll protected

DUCK GROWING PAYS.

When JudiciousIy Fed Birds Are Ready
For Market In Ten Weeks.
The first feed for ducklings is made
Of equal parts bran, cornmeal and
shorts, to which is added 5 per cent Of
beef scrap. 1t is fed moistened five
times a day all they will eat for the
first three weeks and after that only
three times a day. Some grit or sharp
sand is added to this mash occasion
ally. From the very first ZONE green
food should be cut up fine and mixed
with 1t. gradually increasing the guam.
tity until half the bulk is green food.
An abundance of good, clean, drinking
water must be provided. but a pond Of
running water Is not necessary, as
ducks can be grown just as we'll with
out it. Plenty of shade should be pro-
vided. as ducks cannot stand the hot
rays of the sun.
Judicious feeding and forcing will
bring ducks to weigh from eight to
twelve pounds per pair ut ten weeks Of
age. Probably Indian Runners are
the best breed to raise. as they are
good layers, producing a white, mild
favored egg, and the ducklings make
rapid and economical gains.
1t is generally supposed that more
grain is required to grow a pound of
duck than to produce a pound of chick
en-, but this is not the case, as care
fully conducted experiments show that
it takes from 1926 pounds to 3.75
pounds of grain to produce one pound
Of chicken, whereas 1t takes only about
3.15 pounds of grain to produce one
pound Of duck. "
We do not advocate extensive duck
growing for the average farmer, but
we do say that fifty to a hundred ducks
can be raised on almost every farm at
a handsome proft,-Kansas Yearbook.

An Odd Way to Fish.

The natives of Tutuila, one of
the islands Of Oceania, have a pc
culiar method of catching fish. At
a given signal all the inhabitants of
the village assemble on the seashore
to the number of about 200 persons,
each one carrying a branch of the
cocoa palm. With these. in their
hands they plunge into the water
and swim a certain distance from
the shore, when they turn, forming
a compact semicircle, each one hold
ing his palm perpendicular in the
water, thus making a sort Of sieve.
The leader of the party then gives
a signal, and the fishers all ap-
proach the seashore gradually in
perfect order, driving before them
a multitude Of ,fshessthat are cast
on the sands.and killed with sticks.

The New Factor In Cheap and Rapid

Six months ago the term jitney was

Now, however. it will appear that jft-

such buses operating in Philadelphia

this peculiar type OF conveyance has

Breaking eggs to detect infertiles

Breaking eggs to detect infertiles
is poor policy. The simple egg de-
tector illustrated will tell at a
glance whether an egg is fit to be
put into the incubator. An egg
when newly laid is full and clean
except the yolk shadow. The egg
detector should be black in color
with a lamp and reflector. the re-
fiector being opposite the aperture
against which the egg is held.
In testing an egg the presence Of
a large air cell indicates that 1t is
not fresh and Is unfit for incubating
