This is the statement of G. B

grain. Good quality of seed selected
from farmers own land he says

conditions and will do better than
those imported from long distances
He urges that grains be kept free
from mixture.

the spring the wholesale price in the
large cities in the east and on the Pa
cific coast for stock of this kind is
sometimes as high as 80 cents a pound.
The feed cost of producing such a duck
has been estimated at from 5 to 6 cents
a pound. Later in the year the prices
are much lower, and it is not uncom-
mon for farmer to market his ducks
in the fall for less money than he
would have received for the birds in
the spring. Since the demand for
green ducks, however, at good prices
is limited it will be we'll to investi-
gate the market possibilities before in
vesting heavily in the industry.
Farmers bulletin G97 Of the United
States department of agriculture gives
detailed instructions in regard to the
feeding of ducklings for the market
When young birds are from twenty
four to thirty-six hours old feeding be-
gins. For the first week they have five
meals a day. From this time until they
are two or three weeks old they are
fed four times day and thereafter
three times daily until marketed. The
ration consists at first of mixture
which contains equal parts by measure
Of rolled oats and breadcrumbs, will,
3 per- of sharp sand mixed in the
feed. About the third day this ration
is changed to equal parts of bread
rolled oats, bran and cornmeal. After
the seventh day it should be three

parts of bran, one part each of low
grade wheat -four and of cornmeal, 10
per cent Of green feed and per cent
Of beef scrap, with about per cent of
sand Or grit in all Of the rations The
proportion Of beef scrap is gradually
increased until it reaches Is per cent
by the end Of the third week. About
| two weeks before killing the ducks
should be put on fattening ration.
This consists Of three parts by weight
Of cornmeal, two parts of low grade
-four or middlings. one part of bran.
one-half part Of beef scrap, with per
cent grit and 10 per cent green feed
! The ration for laying ducks should
be composed Of one pound of corn
meal, one pound Of low grade -four or
middlings, one pound Of bran, Is per
cent of beef scrap, Is per cent of vege-
tables or green feed and some grit, the
mash being few twice daily, in the
morning and at night. When ducks
are laying heavily quart of mixed
corn and wheat should be divided
among thirty of them in the middle Of
the day. Thirty laying ducks, it is es-
timated, will eat about ten quarts of
moist mash at each meal Drinking
water should be near the feed so that
the ducks can eat and drink at about
the same time.
Since Picking ducks are used largely
for Matching and the profit from them
comes in producing green ducklings
birds of this breed are fed a mainte-
nance ration after they stop laying in
the summer until about Dec. 1, when
the laying ration is resumed Indian
Runner ducks, being intended to pro-
duce eggs for the market, are fed lay
ing rations throughout the year. The
cost Of feeding breeding Picking duck.
has been estimated by several growers
at about 50 a year.
Since neither the Picking nor the In
dian Runner duck is a good sitter I'M
der ordinary farm conditions it IS. de-
sirable to hatch and raise the duck
nngs with hens. They may also be
raised artifcially in incubators and
brooders, and as matter of fact ducks
are much easier to brood arti1cially
than chickens. The same brooders and
brooding systems give satisfactory re-
suits for both, but ducks do not require
as high temperature as chickens.

Joint Commission on Uni6cation to
Take Up Project This Week.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Dec. 25.-The question OF
consolidating the Methodist Episcopal
Church North. and the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South, will be discussed next
Thursday at a meeting of the Joint Com
mission on Methodist Unifcation.
The following greeting. addressed Ito
all who in any way represent the Meth
odist Episcopal Church" has been issued
by Bishop Earl Cranston. senior Bishop
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church North,
and chairman of the joint commission:
December 2S is drawing near-the day
that should mark the beginning Of new
era in America and world Methodism.
The day and days Immediately following
1t will be days Of glorious prophecy or
Of lamentable omen for religion in all
our land and for all Of the vast interests
which God has committed to Methodism.
DO We all realize what is at stake in
the great movement for reorganization
Your commissioners have earnestly ask
ed and the bishops have added their
earnest appeal:
That all Methodists shall pray fer
vently for Gods blessing on the work of
the Joint Commission; that every pastor
Of both churches shall observe Sunday,
December 81, by preaching on ''The Spirit
of Methodism," and by holding a watch
night service devoted chiefly to the COM
manding obligation of these churches to
get together in Gods work.
"At the same hour the fifty commits
sioners will be IN communion and prayer
at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church
South, in Baltimore. the city where the
Methodist Episcopal Church was organ
lied by the Christmas Conference OF

UNDER SUSPICION.

Three years ago a celebrated dancer
was severely injured by a fall on the
stage. For many seasons she and her
husband had not only been popular
Broadway stars, but favorites in London
and Paris.
They were a happily married couple,
very much in love with each other, and
had worked as dancing partners for
years, climbing slowly the steep and tot
tering ladder OF success.
In all of their athletic dances, It was
always necessary for them to put rosin
on their heads to keep from slipping out
of each others clasp. One evening she
had stopped to gossip with an actress in
her dressing-room and had been given
her cue before she was entirely ready for
Il. Frightened lest she keep them wait
ing, she hurried out without taking time
to apply the rosin.
TT is dangerous thing" the actress
warned her. You might be hurt"
Before we make our entrance. I will
tell him to be careful"
But as the dancer was two minutes late,
the stage manager had sent the hus-
band on to do a few steps by himself SO
when the wife whirled upon the stage into
the arms Of her husband. she did not
have an opportunity to caution him.
You can imagine the cry wrung from
lIlo duuleIlCo "Hcu OIle OI lne IndU
dervish measures she slipped from his
grasp, lost her balance, spun across the
stage and fell unconscious to the floor.
They carried her into her dressing-room.
from the dressing-room to the hospital.
and It was months before she was taken
to her own home.
That was three years ago. Ever since
then she has been sitting in an invalid
chair, a cripple, her spine severely in
jured in the fall.
The husband, in spite Of his tender de-
votion, sometimes grew discouraged. The
temptations in the gay world Of the the
ater were many. These last two years
his dancing partner was a little girl who
had come from the West, sweet and fresh
as a daisy Professionals whispered. and
always eager for an amusing bit Of gos-
sip, the public kept its Cyclopean eye
upon the couple.
We do not doubt for a minute that pro-
pinquity has a lot to do with the romance
between the young girl and the lonely,
unhappy man.
One day two of the tale-bearers who
make 1t their business to see there is very
little happiness existing in the world.
went out of their way to call upon the in
valid wife. And in the course OF their
conversation. they managed to let her
read between the lines what the human
newspapers were publishing in regard to
the dawning romance between her hus-
band and his little dancing partner.
The wife said nothing. She just bided
her time and watched them. She invited
the little dancer to her house and studied
her every move.
One evening, through an open door.
she saw them sitting before the fireplace
close together, the girls hand on her
husbands. The girl was crying and the
mans arm stole around her, drawing
ker head to his shoulder.
That evening. when the husband crept
in to kiss his wife good night, he found
her white-faced. but brave. She told
