The duck has it's place on the farm, b,t duck raising as a business is as vet comparatively unprofitable be- causo of long distance to market and nreiudice among buyers of live poul- trv The duck furnishes a delicious roast for the family and an abun- dance of feathers for home use.
 Contrary to general opinion, a mol large enough for swimming is not necessary says N. L. Harris, SUI perintendent of the Kansas state agri- cultural college poultry farm. Ducks can he raised on dry land-that is, if they are provided with water sufti- eiently deep to allow them to sub merge their beaks and wash the sand from their nostrils. Otherwise they will die.
 The natural food for ducks consists of bugs. worms and green succulent vegetation found in marshy places. Notwithstanding the fact that ducks are easily raised. they should not be matched until warm weather, at which time such feeds are plentiful.
 There is danger of overlooking, ac- eording to Mir Harris. The duck is

Takinq His Medicine.

The prosperous looking young man walked briskly into the lunchroom, as if he might be planning to buy the whole menu as announced on the pasteboard placards around the wal but he didn't.
 He went to the water fountain and filled glass with water and picked up an empty one. The card over the fountain said very plainly: Please do not take glasses away. Maybe the young man couldn't read. Any. way, he deliberately carried both glasses across the room, put powder in the empty one, poured the water on it, poured the mixture back and forth several times, spilling part of it on the chair. Then he swallowed the mixture, making a wry face as if blaming the lunchroom for the way things tasted out of their glasses. He walked out, leaving a wet chair and two dirty glasses, and 1t didn't seem that the lunchroom got much out Of the deal-except exercise,

CAUSE OF EARTH TREM0RS
investiqations in South Africa Have Found They Are Traeeabie 10
 the Work of Man.

Mine owners in South Africa have after investigating earth tremors lh their districts, arrived at the dehnite conclusion that they are caused by 10. cal cavings far underground in the mines. and are therefore directly traceable to the hand of man. It was found, upon comparing notes, that each shock consisted of a single sharr vibration. The committee has come to the conclusion that the shocks 0rigl. nate in this way: The removal ot the reef over large areas throws the weight of the superineumbent mass on the unexeavated portions or pillars At depth of 1000 feet or over, these are unable to bear the weight and are crushed. If the crushing takes place suddenly a rock burst occurs and the shock is transmitted to the surface. Though the effects of the rock bursts underground are sometimes disastrous causing great loss of life and damage to the mine, the surface effects are in. considerable, and the committee be. lieves that, though the violence of the tremors is likely to increase, it will never be sufficiently great to justify the apprehension of any disastrous ef feets. Technical advice is given as te the best methods of meeting the rock. burst difficulty underground.

MUCH DEPENDS ON BREEDERS
Parents of Chicks Should Be Strong. Vigorous, Hardy and Resistant
 to All Diseases.

Whether a farmer will raise better poultry this year than he did last will depend primarily upon the kind of stock that is used for breeding Every baby chick is entitled to be well born Unless it's parents are strong, vigor- oas, hardy and resistant to disease, a poor hatch and weak, puny chicks will result, say the poultrymen at Iowa state college.
 The use of low vitality breeders Is the most frequent cause of poor incu' batting success and high death rate in breeding. Chicks matched frone poor breeding stock never reach the Gf of weil-bred individuals. The pulle.s do not begin laying until the following spring and then hardly enough to pay for their feed.
 II the flock is to be improved. only those birds that show size, yigor and reproducing qualities should be used as breeders. Twenty-Five good females m a roomy pen with a couple of good males Will furnish eggs for incubation that will produce chicks worth while, ones that will grow into big fellows worth good price on the market. me outlets from such mating mature rapidly and are in condition to lay the winter eggs"

Grading the Little Chicks.

Owing to differences in the vigor ot parent stock. age of eggs when incu- bated, and other causes, there are al ways differences in the vitality of the chicks and these manifest themselves1 very quickly. The stronger chiE5 shove the weaker away from the food. crowd them out of the sunniest spots in the brooder. and take the best of things generally.
 Since the most vigorous chicks are the most valuable, we do not like to discourage this disposition to thtSHe. but strong chicks should not thrive at the expense of the weak. As soon as there is perceptible difference in the size of the chicks, either grade the chicks according to size, or fix things so the weak chicks can eat by themselves.

SAFE FROM BARRED WIRE.

One of the most trying tasks incident to trench fighting has been considerably frightened by the appearance in the British trenches of gloves made of fabric which is said to be impervous to barbed wire points, says Popular Science Monthly. The fabric is made up into mittens, with the first finger and thumb separate. The fabric is water. proof. and in addition the gloves insulated for gripping electrically charged wires
 The same material Is applied to the manufac- ture of sleeping bags, which when opened may be thrown over barbed wire entangement to allow a soldier to climb the sharp points without injury. When made up into vests or tunics the fabric is strong enough to turn shrapnel splinters a bullet when it has lost part of it's momentum The interlining is antisepticized, so that if bullet goes through it takes into the wound enough antiseptic wool to prevent poison ing
 The materials used in the manufacture of this remarkable fabric have been sedulously kept secret this far.

It has a special fondness for the great hairy destructive eaterpars, and when it finds nest of the tent eaterpillars it will move until the destruction of the pests and their home is complete.

 It must not be thought because ten birds have been named the best friends of the farmer that there not scores of others whose daily work IS for the good of man.
