DOmeSticated MallardS
On Clay County Farm
Enjoying Tame Life

Mallard ducks have become perma-
nent residents of Clay county and this
is the second winter they have passed
here. They live on the Fritz Gruhl
farm in Cromwell township and have
become as tame as the domestic ducks.
Last winter four of the mallards stay
ed through the winter and acquired
many OF the habits Of their home
grown cousins.
There is one habit they cling to.
That is to fly few miles every day
no matter how cold or stormy the
weather. They always come back and
mingle with the other fowls and, dur
ing the cold weather. roost in the
chicken house. They have become as
tame as the other poultry. and this
winter eight Of them have wintered
with the Gruhls.
Instead Of hiding their nests they
lay their eggs In the chicken house
or around the straw piles in the same
nests as the domestic ducks. These
eggs are gathered and set without re-
gard to whether they are those Of wild
or tame ducks. 1t is, Of course, easy
to distinguish the eggs-those Of the
MalIards being smaller and Of darker
color than those Of the tame ducks.
When Matched the broods are mix
ture OF wild and tame ducklings. AS

Washington. April 2.-Congressmar
Halvor Stevenson. Crookston. in an
interview today. explained his motives
in proposing changes in house rules
that would establish a congressional
committee to check executive depart
ments. said Mr.. Stevenson:
The tendency on the part of the
chief executive. as we'll as Of the
executive departments of the govern
ment, to encroach upon the legislative
functions has been growing to an
alarming extent of late years. until
there Is reason to fear an overturning
Of the balanced powers of the gov
eminent contemplated by the constitu-
ton. and that the legislative branch
be transformed into a mere negative.
without initiative. and only ratifying
the executive mandates.
"One Of the results of this tendency
has been a greater or less neglect on
the part Of the executive branch Of It's
primal duty to see that the laws are
faithfully executed and to devote its
principal energies to deVising and en-
acting new laws as a remedy for exist
ing evils which might be more effec-
tually dealt with by strict enforcement
of laws already existing. The halls Of
congress and it's committee rooms are
constantly visited by members Of the
executive branch. urging new laws
which they hand in ready made for
ratification while hundreds Of laws al
ready on the statute books remain
dead letters for want of enforcement.

quent flights to Horseshoe lake. about
two miles distant. These flights are
excursions for the birds invariably re-
turn to their home" at night.
The mallards are not the only wild
fowl that live on the Gruhl farm, for
wild geese have been permanent resi-
dents there for over twenty years
This winter there are two pairs OF
wild ones and several hybrids. It is
the habit of the wild geese to mate
and hide their nests. Since becoming
domesticated the ganders have shown
IA disposition to acquire more than one
wife. The hybrids are like mules-they
only reproduce with wild or tame
bird, never with hybrid.
The eggs of the wild geese are
longer and Of smaller diameter than
those Of the tame breed. They are also
darker in color. If the wild geese are
hungry they come to the house and
tap on the window with their beaks
until they get some bread. They are
as tame and playful as puppies. In
the fall Of the year they stay pretty
close to the farmstead; but during the
spring and summer they make quite
long flights. To prevent the young
birds from flying south in the fall
three or four OF the tip feathers Of
one wing are tied together. The birds
are then unable to rise from the
ground as the tied wing tip throws
them out of balance.

REALTY CASE IS BEFORE
STATE SUPREME COURT
Alleged Fraud in Becker County
Transaction Basis for Suit to Be
Argued at This Term.

The calendar of 240 cases, to be
called at st. Paul tomorrow, probably
will be the last in the supreme court,
a new law having changed the practice
rules to provide that cases shall be set
on presentation Of the proper returns.
The case of Frank Tomka VS.. the Mel
son Real Estate agency of Minneapolis,
is before the court on a writ Of prohibi-
ton and c. G. Dosland of Mo6rhead,
attorney for Tomka, will oppose the
granting of the writ. Fraud in Beck
er county land deal is the ground upon
which this suit was brought. It is the
second time the matter has ben before
the supreme court, the first case hav-
ing been dismissed.
Attorneys for the Nelson's had the
second case removed from the Becker
county court to Hennepin county and
Judge John H. Steele sent it back to
Becker county for trial. Claiming that
the Becker county court has no juris-
diction the attorneys for the real es-
tate firm brought the case before the
supreme court. A writ of prohibition
will issue only in cases where the dis
trict court has no jurisdiction.
Whether tribal Indians are legal vot-
ers under the county option law is a

Jens ]. Opsahl raised the question in
an action against Frank e. johnson.
The Beltrami county court sustained
the disputed right of the Indians to
vote.
