MEXICO's OPPORTUNITY.

In view of the present high price of silver,
the folly of the various factions in Mexico in
keeping the country in a state of anarchy is
little short of stupendous. It is stated that in
the year 1914 the output of the Mexican silver
mines was nearly that of the United States,
which was officially reported at 1880 fine
ounces. The price Of silver is now higher than
at any time since 1898 it having advanced fifty
per cent. since the summer Of 1915. 1t is the
view Of expert fnanciers that when peace is de-
clared in Europe there viii be an enormous de-
mand for silver for circulation, the policy Of
all nations presumably being to hoard gold and
rely upon the white metal for hand currency.
The silver output of Mexico is very large under
ordinary conditions. With peace in that re-
public, the working Of the mines would speedily
put the country a firm financial basis and
prosperity would take the place Of industrial
and agricultural ruin. But sanity seems to
have died out in Mexico, and even with ma
tional prosperity and wealth we'll within sight
the bandit industry is the only one that proves
attractive.

Now, perhaps never again, Japan knows
that the United States is quite helpless against
attack. In year so may be better pre-
pared But just now the United States navy
in the Pacific is not only wholly inferior in
ships to the Japanese navy, but even the entire
line of warships in the ownership of the coun-
try are so pitifully undermined that they can
not be used for active service, fact forcibly
driven home by that wonderful screen produc-
ton, ''The Battle Cry of Peace" recently
shown in Keokuk. The ''army'' is in Mexico
and nobody doubts that if Japan will offer Car
rama sufficient ind1cement the Mexicans will
attack it.

increase Of the equipment. The incu-
bator cellar should be convenient to
the brooder house, the brooder house
to the growing house and pens, and
these buildings to the killing house.
The pens in the houses, the outside
yards, and the arrangement Of the
buildings should be planned so that
the ducks may be easily located. Con-
venient watering arrangements are es-
sential where large numbers Of ducks
are Kept, as they require large
amount of drinking water. While
ducks may be kept successfully under
very intensive conditions, 1t is adyls-
able to allow considerable yard space.
Double yards, which may be rotated
and planted to quick-growing crops,
such as oats, wheat, and rye, are good
for intensive duck farms.
1t is advisable to have pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, as they
usually give better fertility under
these conditions, although on some
successful duck farms the ducks are
always kept on dry land. The young
ducks on some farms which have
pond are not allowed to 20 into the
water except to bathe and clean their
feathers just before marketing. Other
growers, however, allow the green
ducks free access to ponds or streams
until they are marketed
There are II standard breeds of
ducks which may be divided into three
classes: C) the meat class, including
the Pekin. Aylesbury, Muscovy, Rouen,
Cayuga, Buff and Swedish; (2) the
egg class, which includes the Indian
Runner, and (3) the ornamental class,
composed Of the Call, the Crested
White, and the Black East India. The
common puddle" duck is kept on
many farms in the middle West and
South, and is generally Of small size,
poor layer and an undesirable type
or market duck. Excepting the Mus
covy, all Of our economic breeds of
| ducks are said to have originated from
the Mallard, or common wild ducks.
