| Mexico City. May 25.-The govern

day make savage attacks on the policy
OF the United States in Latin America

this campaign of the republican
party one of the principal admins

The Mexican nation cannot permit
itself to be made the tool of Yankee

SOCIALIST SPEAKER
LAMBASTS THE PRESS

Max Sherover, who is touring the
country under the auspices of the So
cialist party, spoke before a large
crowd on Market square last evening.
Mr.. Sherover used the topic, Fakes of
the Press for his talk, and he raped
the newspapers of the country. He
confined most of his remarks to the
Hearst string of publications and made
the statement that William Randolph
Hearst was the biggest factor in the
present strained relations between the
United States and Mexico. Yesterday
noon Mr. Sherover addressed mass
meeting at the Deere shops in Moline.
He is accompanied by Walter Lamer-
sick, national executive secretary Of
the socialist party. They left this
morning for De kalb, where Sheroyer

House for Growing Ducks.

ducks are left right where they are.
1t is simply the survival of the fittest,
and when we get to the breeding pens
there will be ducks strung all the way
along where we have been driving
them. 1t is only the ducks that have
strength to walk this distance, being
urged all the time, that are put in
the pen. Then we go back and clean
up the ones that are left and they are
put into the marketing PEN 1t does
not matter how nice duck they are,
because it is strength we are after.
eve put one hundred to two hun
dred ducks in pen, and there is no
shed or anything for them to run I'M
der. 1t is just simply wood lot. It
would be just as well to have them
run in field, provided they had some
artificial shade, but decidedly you have
got to have some shade for ducks. If
you put ducks in hot field in the
summertime there is danger. | have
seen full-grown ducks get sunstruck
and lie down and die.
1--WE feed them there for five months
on light food. We do not want to fat
ton them. If there are any ducks that
get off their feed they are taken right
off; they are not kept. We keep Ian
terms burning in the trees on dark
nights to keep them from getting
scared.
"A peculiar thing about ducks is
that they will run and trample on
each other and jump in the corner of
the pens if they get scared on dark
night. If it is a bright moonlight
night we do not light the lanterns.
THE feed for these ducks is four
parts bran to one part of flour and
one part cornmeal and one-twentieth
beef scrap. For green feed we use
-four parts clover. The clover should
be about one-third or little more than
one-third of the entise feed. You can
feed them all the green feed they will
eat. A good Indication is to watch
their troughs, and after they have
eaten their feed if they leave a little
clover in the trough you know they
are getting all they want, and may be
a little more; and if they clean this
trough up they haven't quite enough
to eat. If they have too much to eat,
they pick the green feed out and leave
nothing but the mash, and then yen
know they haven't enough green feed.
I'VE feed them wet mash; mix 1t
little more moist than you do for
chickens. These ducks must not be
fed oil they viii eat. because If you

RAISING FEED FOR THE FLOCK
Always Most SuccessfuI--Oper.
ating Expense Reduced.

"The poultry farm that produces its
own feed or a goodly part of it is al.
ways the most successful according
to William H. Pfeifer of Attention, Mo-,
because the feed is always right at
hand when needed, no drayage, no
waste, the range birds seeing to the
latter.
"The shattered grain does not go to
feed sparrows, crows, etc., but pro-
duces chicken-meat and eggs The
droppings go back to the fields as
fertilizer and the operating expense or
upkeep is greatly reduced.
"Such farm has great advantage
over the one that has to buy all it's
feed, hauling it over miles of rough
country roads, paying dearly for the
time wasted in drayage and extra han
ding. This in itself is important evil
dence of why the farmer can produce
cheaper poultry and eggs than the
poultryman. Those who after serious
consideration decide to go into the
business should bear this advice In
mind"

r. w. Curtiss of Ransomville, N. Y,
who raises about 10000 ducks year
and makes big profits at the business,
says 1t is harder manual work to raise
ducks than chickens, and the business
requires patience and good judg-
ment. He selects eggs from the
stronger birds and sets them in incu-
bators and broods them until they
are eight weeks old when they are
fattened for market.
Before these ducks are fattened
we sort out our breeding stock at the
age when the ducks are old enough
SO that we can tell the sexes. / CO."
says Mr.. Curtiss, through a large
number Of ducks and perhaps might
get five or ten fit to breed from out Of
a large flock of one hundred. That
seems like a lot of work. Every time
you change the feed the ducks won't
eat, and If you change gradually they
will probably be off their feed for two
days; and Just at that time we sort
out the breeding stock, and it is just
at the time we change the feed SO
that we do not lose anything.
I'VE handle the ducks by the neck;
we never take them by the legs. We
hold the duck up and look at him, and
If he has good broad breast all the
way through and fairly deep keel, and
broad back, and not too long a neck,
and his head not too long, and il he
fights a great deal and tries to get
away, showing he is strong, then we
will pick out that duck. He has got
to be certain weight; we dos not
actually weigh them because that is
too much trouble.
I'VE take the ducks out in May and
they are taken out in flocks of two
hundred. We start and drive these
ducks over to the pasture and in driv-
ing them we will say that we have
two hundred and ten or two hundred
and fifteen.
We keep them in large wood lot.
We take lots of time driving them
along. not too slow and not SO slow
as you would drive market ducks. We
keep them moving and when we get
them half way over two or three of
them will break down and flap their
wings, and they cannot walk. These

They are not to be starved, but you

1--WE keep them in this manner until
they are five months old, and then we
change and put them in permanent
