HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

= Do colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes1 Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesS
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott's Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality of
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
ists. You can get it at any drug store.

The Interesting Subject
Of Duck Culture
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH RiPhtS ReSeyUedl

as TAR as egg production IS concerned
it has been found best to yard them in
tlOcks of thirty. ReNember that the
Indian Runner is to the Duck family
what the Ancona and Leghorn is to the
chicken family. This applies to egg
laying as well as to hardness. Its in
deed rare thing to see a sick duck.
and their constant "quack" is as music
to the ear of the profit-seeking poultry
man. Ducks are not nearly as suscep-
I tible to disease as are chickens, which
J reduces materially the cost of labor and
adds to the profit.
Roup gapes, and lice, which are re-
! sponsible for the death of so many
chickens each year, are practically un-
known among the Runners. and this also
means much to the breeder True, they
will at times become infesAd with lice,
but they seem perfectly SSle to with
stand the Onslaughts of this parasite
without any III effects.
Many persons labor under the mis-
taken idea that in order to successfully
raise ducks one must be provided with
a pool of water. This is erroneous. Give
them plenty of water to drink. but Won
can eliminate that to waddle in It is |
unnecessary and they will d. much bet
ter without it than with it
Duck eggs are much richer than hen |
eggs, much larger, and in addition. the |
duck will lay more eggs than the aver
age hen at a much less cost Of produc-
tion-all of which makes them more
valuable as profit earners.
Low. cheaply constructed houses are
all that are required for housing the
ducks. In building duck houses be care
tul that the roof will turn water. as this
is the most important part of the build
ing. Leave the south end Of the house
open to admit fresh air in abundance.
while for the floor use fine, sharp sand.
which should be covered over with a
good coating of leaves during the win
ter.
The feeding problem is more easily
solved than is the case with chicken.
should you not desire to liberate the
iucks in the morning without feed. give
hem the same food which forms their
,vening meal, of which a good ration
will be found in the following. Bran
5s parts, middlings ! part, corn meal
2 part, beef scrap springled with a lit

MAHOMETS EXAMPLE

The mountain would not come to
Mahomet so Mahomet went to the
mountain. Voters in country pre-
cinets should follow his example.
The registration books can not be
brought to their homes, so they

tration books.
Many voters had an idea that reg
iStration officers could take the
books from farm to farm, but
such procedure would be clear
ly illegal, as has been pointed
out in an opinion rendered by
L. L. Thompson, assistant at
torney general, in reply to an
inquiry from Prosecuting Attorney
Burgunder. The opinion holds that
the statute is mandatory in requir-
