DUCKS THRIVE ON SOFT FOOD
Nutritive Organs Not Adapted to
Whole Grains-Give Them Green
Feed in Abundance.

The ducks nutritive organs are not
adapted to whole grains, The natural
diet of ducks is soft food, worms aud
bugs, from the banks and marshes. For
best development, ducks should have
soft feed, always accompanied by wa
ter in pans deep enough to permit them
to submerge the beak to the eyes. Give
them lettuce, spinach, beet tops, onion
tops, weeds-green food of some kind
In abundance.
For few ducks the vegetable par
ings may be boiled and fed with mash ;
small potatoes, not to exceed fifth
of the mash, may be used. Too many
potatoes are not good.
For stock ducks in autumn and early
winter, an excellent ration is equal
parts of cornmeal, wheat bran and
boiled vegetables, with 10 per cent of
beef scrap fed morning and evening
at noon a little cracked corn, wheat or
oats. When the birds begin to lay, in
crease the proportion of meal and
scrap, and add low-grade flour, max
ing a mash about as follows: Meal,
one part; bran, one part; low-grade
-four, one part; vegetables, one part,
with from II to Is per cent Of beef
scrap.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
OF EAGLES IS HELD
PREPARATIONS MADE FOR FOUR
TENTH ANNUAL DANCE OF
THE ORDER

AT well attended meeting of
Eagles at Odd Fellows hall last night
there was considerable enthusiasm
shown for the 18th annual dance
which will take place at Miners Union
hall on the night of February % The
committee on prizes have reported
securing many valuable prizes which
will be given to the best dressed and
best sustained characters. These
prizes will be on display at Prouty's
drug store. Rotholtz brothers report
the demand for costumes unpreceden-
ted. Many people are taking advantage
of securing costumes they fancied
from catalogues, thereby securing some
very fancy costumes and some never
before seen in Tonopah This is a
catalogue to select from, and those
who wish to take advantage are ad.
vised to call early and make their
selections in ample time to have
same delivered.
There is no doubt that the Eagles
| will maintain their reputation of the
past and the 14th annual dance pro
misses to surpass in elegance of cos
tunes any former dance given by al
order.
The owners of Miners Union hall
Plamenaz and Davidovich, have il
formed the Eagles that in anticipa
ton of an increased attendance the,
will have partition of hallway remov
ed, making the dance hall six fee
wider. This work will be done a
once and finished in time for tn
Eagles ball.

ToNoPAH CORPORATIONS ADD
MORE THAN A MERE MITE
TO THE LIST

That the year 1916 bids fair to be a
profitable one for owners of Ameri-
can mines and works is evidenced in
the January dividend disbursements
of 81 companies reported to Mining
& Engineering World. These com
panies distributed to shareholders
during the month $10,261776 While
the total is not so large as was paid
out in January, 1912 and 1913. it is
more than twice as large as that of
January of last year. With such a
beginning, and with the large demand
for metals at high prices continuing,
il is easily seen that 1916 will prove
the banner year for American mines
and works, enriching shareholders to
more than hundred million dollars
Participating in the January, 1916
disbursements mentioned above we're
