The grass is missed only by its alb
sence When we pass by a house
which is minus a green lawn or grassy
plot in front we exclaim, 'What blot
on the landscaper' In a vague way
we realize that the grass gives tone
and color to outdoor life as nothing
else can; that no picture is complete
without It All the beauties of the
seashore-the bold rocks, the crested
surf, the dashing waves, the lights
and shadows which play at sunrise and
sunset beside old ocean-cannot COM
pensate for the lack Of the grass be-
meath our feet. Friends wintering at
southern beaches have told US that
they grew homesick for the grassy
fields and meadows Of home.-Marga-

DUCKS PROFITABLE
POULTRY To RAISE

In these days Of the high cost of liv-
ing much has been said about the hen
as an aid In solving the expense prob
lem, but there Is another family Of
feathered bipeds that are profit max
ers. Most breeds of ducks are hardy
healthy and profitable poultry, says the
American Agriculturist. The ease with
which they are raised must make them
rank high in the poultry line. They
mature early and are prolific layers,
ranging from 100 to $50 eggs each dur
ing the season. The eggs are very large
and of fine flavor. They command
higher price dozen than do those of
hens. -
In one Of the suburbs Of Boston Is a
small but steadily growing duck farm
the head of which Is a woman. At
present she has a hundred ducks for
layers and breeders. There Is good
market for all the eggs produced both
for table use and Matching. She also
raises ducks for market and has
steady demand for all she can produce.
AS the ducks are nonsitters, the eggs
are Matched under hens and in incuba-
tors, the period Of incubation being
twenty eight days. When the little
ducklings are Matched they are placed

A high, we'll drained area. with a
southern or southeastern exposure,
about $50 to 200 feet from the farm
house, is the ideal place to locate the
permanent poultry house. Soil that Is
well drained is less likely to become
contaminated with disease germs. n
a good growth Of grass cannot be kept
around the building scatter sand or
gravel where the grass has been killed
out The gravel not only tends to keep
the ground free from disease germs,
but aids materially in reducing the
number of dirty eggs in wet weather.
Air drainage is quite as essential as
ground drainage. so the house should
not occupy low place or pocket where
the cool. damp air settles even though
the ground water be taken care OF by
tile.

Naming the Baby.

Give your baby a name that will suit
him or her throughout life. Let 1t be
a euphonious, well balanced name, in
dicative Of intelligence, character and
success and one so easily written or
spoken that no nicknames will ever be
found necessary. If there, is available
a family name with these good quail
ties, all the better. Do not indulge in
levity. do not give way to sentiment,
do not surrender to afrectation or rO-
nance in this matter of selecting a
suitable name. and avoid novel COM
binations and plays upon words with
out loading the child down with cheap
commonplace.-Dalla News.

In breeders, where they remain until
ready for the growing houses. The
young ducklings are very delicate, so
care must be taken to keep them warm
and free from chills. The first three
weeks are the most critical. Once past
that age the ducklings can be safely
counted upon for the market
At six weeks the ducklings are placed
In the growing houses, where they are
pushed for market. The usual time for
marketing is when they are ten weeks
old. at which period they weigh four to
five pounds apiece. Occasionally one
will tip the scales at FIVE and one-half
pounds. The best ducks are selected
for the next years breeders and layers.
They are fed differently from those In
tended for market

DOUBLE KILLING
 IN ELLEN SALOON

Belen, April 26.-Richard Lewis of Gallup, is dead and Henry Moore of Plainview, Nebraska, is mortally wounded as the result of an encounter with Charley Murray, bartender of the Brick saloon in this city which took place about 4 o'clock this after noon. After the shooting Murray was arrested and taken to Los Lunas, where he will be given preliminary hearing tomorrow morning.
 The circumstances surrounding the tragedy are not defnately known, as the slayer refused to make any state ment other than that he had to kill the two men. It is understood that Murray had closed the saloon and gone to lunch, and that upon his re- turn he found Lewis and Moore in side. Only the three men were pre- sent when the difficulty took place, consequently the facts surrounding the occurrence will not be known until they are brought out on the trial Gallup Independent.
