Rouen Ducks originated in France. but English breeders developed their present great size and perfection of plumage. They are probably the largest of all ducks, the drakse weighing 9 to II pounds and the females to 10 pounds.
 AS a table fowl, the Rouen Duck is high ly esteemed. The meat Is fine favored, surpassng that of most other breeds but because the Rouen does not grow as fast as the Pekin. the latter breed Is preferred by those who grow ducks for market.
 Rouen Ducks are hardy. thriving un- der ordinary conditions and doing best

Many Opportunities for Amateurs

Inere are many opportunities TOT the amateur. Poultry culture has many branches-egg farming. broiler raising, roaster growing. baby chicks, breeding stock and eggs for matching. The anna teur should start with egg farming and gradually add whatever other branches he desires or is able to ham dle
 He should start with one breed, se- lected according to his object, and stick to it, getting all the good pos sihle out of it. It may be necessary later, as the business develops, to add one or two other varieties, as for in- stance, the Leghorns for white eggs, or the Wyandottes for broilers and small foasters or the Brahmas for dark brown eggs and large roasters. But that will determine itself
 Under-no circumstances should a man leave steady position to engage in a business he Knows nothing about. Here is where poultry keeping offers an ad- vantage. Stick to the job while the plant is gradually building itself up. Learn the lesson with a few fowls. man should test himself before he invests much money. for he may discover that he is not adapted to the work.
 Pluck Necessary to Success
 Lack of good judgment has wrecked many poultry enterprises Our talents do not all run in the same channel. have witnessed success and failures when conditions in .he start were alike. But the men were different. One would be careful. panstalSing man, who possess ed rIenty of pluck and grit; was never discouraged by dra wbaeks, never got tine ''blues'--in short, an optin,ist. The other would be a fellow wild with enthusiasm In the start, btu one who quickly tired. He soon saw the drudgery it did not take him long to see that there is no money in the business. and up goes the plant.
 Sc, briefly. I would say. the cause of the majority of failures can be narrowed down to Q, inexperience; @, lack Of working capital; (3). insufficient pluck. grit and ambition; (D, want of business sense.
 There is good bit in "business sense.''

 The poultry industry offers many op- portunities to the amateur, and this fact has caused many to engage in 1t for a livelihood without due consideration. Mir. Boyer. who has had many years of sue cessful experience, tells what to do and what to avoid in establishing a poultry business.
 The poultry industry affords good occupation. if 1t Is properly conducted. Too many make the mistake of engaging in it on large scale. without sufficient preparation. The amateur who intends to establish himself on firm foundation should start in small way and enlarge his plant as facilities and knowledge will permit
 The poultry business calls for careful work. It requires close attention every day, for 3s5 days In the year, and from early to late. Unless a man possesses grit he will soon tire of this sameness. It becomes monotonous. Pluck and grit

BLACK BASS RELEASED.

Gulfport, Miss, May 10. - w. T.
Stewart, vice president and general
manager of the Gulf & Ship Island
Railroad, recently made requisition
on the government fish hatchery at
Tupelo, in this state, for 5000 large
mouth black bass.
Mr.. Stewart was advised that the
fish would reach Gulfport Saturday
night last on the 10:45 train and sup
piled with a number of buckets in
which to transport the fish Mr. Stew
art met the train and lost no time in
reaching Bayou Bernard. where they
were liberated in that stream.
The fish were four weeks old and
Faveragedabout three inches in length.
1t is expected that about 60 per cent
of them will live to maturity. 1t is
understood that in the first year the
bass will attain a growth of nine
inches; in the second II inches, and in
the third about one inch or so, the
growth then going to girth.
Speaking of Bayou Bernard, Mr..
Stewart said that the greatest enemy
of small fish life in it's waters was
the gar fish. He said this applied to
all of our fresh water streams. The
greatest enemy of the gar, added Mr..
Stewart, is the alligator, and there
fore he believes the alligator ought
not to be destroyed. The gar fish
ought to be shown no mercy.
Next year Mr.. Stewart will try to
get 10000 bass from the Tupelo
hatchery. Those brought here Satur-
day night were in charge of Mr.. Han

CHECK A FORGERY.

Biloxi, Miss, May 19.-Chief of Pc
lice Louis Staehling of this city has
received a letter from Chief of Detec-
tives Ed Portley of Joplin, Mo-, stat
ing that a man representing himself
as George C. Bowden had presented
draft on a merchant of Joplin for
S67. The check was signed by A. l..
Armstrong as secretary of the Bara-
taria Canning Company of Biloxi, and
was on the Peoples Bank of Mobile. =
Officials of the canning company,
when questioned as to the man, stat
ed that they knew nothing of Bowden
and that they did not do business
with the Mobile institution. The
work has ben regarded as that of a
professional forger and word to the
effect has been forwarded the Joplin
authorities by Chief Staehling. A
similar check was passed on the Mai
son-Blanche Company of New Orleans
several weeks ago, signed by a man
named Andrews and it is believed
that in both instances one man is
back of the forgeries.

WILL MAKE FEW CHANGES.

Jackson, Miss, May 19.-The I'M
preston generally prevails in educa'
tional circles that the new uniform
text book commission, which held It's
first meeting here last Saturday, viii
make exceedingly few, if any changes
in the list of text books now used in
the public schools of Mississippi.
In fact, a very strong sentiment is
being manifested for the retention OF
all books now in use from primer up
to the text books used in the final
grade of the grammar schools.
Members of the commission have
thus far refrained from expressing
themselves on the subject, and in
fact it would be improper for them to
do So but it is known that they have
been much impressed by the advice
of disinterested educators that no
change be made.
The strong argument offered IN Ia
vor of this policy is that business con-
dition in the state do not warrant
wholesale changes; that economy and
conservation of resources is being OBJ
served by everybody, and the parents
and patrons of the public schools
ought not to be put to the expense OF
buying new books for the children.
The school teachers of Mississippi
generally speaking, it is understood
are well satisfied with the books that
have been used during the last five
years, and if few changes are made it
is believed they will heartily approve.
The commission will meet here again
on, June to adopt books, and at that
time representatives of the publish
ing houses will submit bids and
be permitted to orally present argu-
ments in favor of their propositions.
