PROPER FOOD FOR DUCKS.

The ducks nutritive organs are not
adapted to whole grains. The natural
diet of ducks is soft food, worms and
bugs, from the banks and marshes.
For best development ducks should
have soft feed, always accompanied by
water in pans deep enough to permit
them to submerge the beak to the eyes.
Give them lettuce, spinach, beet tops,
onion tops, weeds-green food of some
kind in abundance.
For a few ducks, the vegetable par
ings may be boiled and fed with mash;
small potatoes, not to exceed fifth Of
the mash, may be used. Too many
potatoes are not good.
For stock ducks in autumn and early
winter ration is equal parts Of corn
meal, wheat bran and boiled vegeta-
bles, with 10 per cent of beef scrap
fed morning and evening; at noon a
little cracked corn, wheat or oats.
When the birds begin to lay, increase
the proportion of meal and scrap, and
edd low grade flour, making a mash
about as follows: Meal, one part;
blan one part; low grade flour, one
part; vegetables one part, with from
II to Is per cent of beef scrap.

MAKING HOUSEWoRK EASIER
Modern Devices That Have Found a
Place In Most Of the Homes OF
the Country.

The sale OF household and kitchen
utensils is subject to all sorts OF
chances and changes from the luctua-
lions in public taste and the march Of
improvement. Wood bowls and minc-
ing knives were once staples, but the
invention of food choppers has seri-
ously diminished their usefulness.
The growing popularity OF aluminium
utensils has had some setback be-
cause housekeepers find the metal
harder to keep clean and bright than
enamel ware.
The old-fashioned castiron pots. skill.
lets and frying pans are out Of date
save in remote country districts. and
have given place to wrought-steel
utensils, much lighter and more last
ing. Every modern kitchen has like
wise up-to-date small conveniences,
such as mechanical lighters In place
OF matches, asbestos mats to keep
things hot, soap containers for dish
washing. cool handled stove lifters. and
the like. One Of the great changes
that has come In the household is the
vacuum cleaner. taking the place of
the broom. the carpet sweeper and
the carpet heater, and saving all this
hard hand labor, since the best and
most efficient cleaner is electrically
run and needs only TO be attached to
the electric lighting plug.

Animals az Play.

THAT the lower animals do not
laugh, that they have no sense OF
humor, is hard to understand when we
think how thoroughly they love to
play. From the highest to the hum.
blest, they show the keenest Joy in
sport, but they cannot taught II they
could, perhaps the power would bring
with II other mental gifts, such as
to upset the whole order OF things. Be
that as 1t may, the watcher Of wild
life never gets used to the sight OF
their mirthless sport. for in all other
respects their play is entirely hui
man.
"A great deal of human play is Sc
rious-desperately serious on the foot
ball field and at the card table. espe-
cially when a lonely player at soil
taire, for instance, is trying to kill

Il have watched great, ungainly
hippopotamus trying by the hour to

and worry himself to death. II was

Sunshine is provided in all parts Of
the house by the windows on the roof.
This side Of the roof is faced toward

The windows along the side also help
In bringing plenty Of sunshine into

All the windows are made in the

strong, substantial window that can
withstand the ravages Of the elements.
This is especially necessary in the
windows placed on the roof. A wood.

pens are feet by 6 feet, which is
large enough to take care of a SOW

large enough so that four or five
shoats can be kept in them for fatten-
ing during the winter. These shoats
should be nearly the same size or
they may pile up and smother the
smaller ones. If more than four or
five are placed in pen, the same
thing may happen, even If the shoats
are almost Of the same size.
The feeding and litter alley runs
through the center of the house
lengthwise between the two rows of
pens. Very often a litter carrier is
installed, though 1t is not as necessary
as in dairy barn. Along each row of
pens Is gutter, and the concrete
floors of the pens are sloped slightly
so that they can be easily washed out.
It is not absolutely necessary to have
the floors on slant, as the pens are
swept out very often, anyway.
The partitions between the pens is
almost always made of tight boards
so that each pen will be easier to

DOLLARS AND SENSE.

Dollars count. Without them we
cannot procure food to eat. clothes to
wear or a roof to shelter US.
Dollars by themselves, however. are
worth mighty little. even In the mart
of trade; for mere money. unaccom'
panied by distributing agent, is as
valueless as would be a work OF art
covered with burlap and stored In q
cellar.
Men of mark. taking them as they
run, and barring the few who are only
financially successful, have something
besides money, have done something
which money cannot do. They owe
their regulations in business, and out
OF 1t, not wholly to the fact that they
are financially rich or commercially
influential.
Dollars without sense are as badly
on as would be sense without dollars
to provide for its wants.
The power of money, great as It is,
is not vested wholly in money itself
Its value is dependent upon what ac-
companies 1t.
The miser, even though his store
house is filled with ready cash, has no
standing in the community and is not
on good terms even with himself He
has accumulated, but he has not dis
tributed. He has made money and
done nothing else.
Good sense, common sense, is worth
more than money, even assuming that
money can be obtained without 1t.
The man of sense stands higher ev-
erywhere than does the nan of dol
lars.
Common sense is to be priced above
all financial riches. With 1t all things
are possible. ithout 1t nothing
worth while can be accomplished,
Men today ere reckoned by their
sense, not by their dollars. Their
positions in business, in the profess
sions, In the community, are depend
emit upon the amount of common sense
they possess, with or without accom-
panying money.
Don't imagine, young man, that the
mere accumulation of money is going
to give you any position of which you
may be proud, even among men OF
money.
When men die they leave only one
heritage which is remembered, and
that is what they have done for the
benefit of humanity, whether or not
this good has been accomplished by
willing money to schools, Libraries,
and charities, or is obtained because
they left behind them an example
worthy to be followed.
Remember that a draft drawn on
the Bank of Earth Is not payable at
the Bank of Heaven.

If you would have your business OF

or to those who labor under you, use

Sense has value in every market.
Dollars are not good everywhere.
Sense and gumption are marketable
commodities. Without them the rich

Money is worth having. Without 1t
we cannot eat or live; but lonesome
money is barren as desert plain.
BY itself alone 1t cannot SOW or har-
vest. 1t is a drag which prevents the
rudder of the Ship Of Life from max.
