our boy we might slip the name from Lazarus to Laurence. I'm told the things been done often and in the vest best circles. Whats that you say, Mir. Caudle? I'm a sly, scheming, de- signing woman? Oh, MT. Caudle how only my love for my darling children fare.
 I've exhausted the list now, MT. Cau- dle; please, you suggest someone? How's that? Did 1 understand my own ears? Did you say? Well, upon my word, MT Caudle; I might have known it all along I might have known that you had that old bum, Tattletale, in the back of your head; and right now I say mo- posi- lively and emphatically, to that propo- sition I will not allow my child, flesh of my flesh, and bone of bone, to be named for that old whisky soaked, blear- eyed, red-nosed, fat-paunched Tattletale. Upon my word, MT. Caudle it's enough to make woman jump right out of bed and dress herself and go tell the neigh bors about your inhuman treatm-"', and I'd do it only my pride keeps me back. But once and for all, listen to this: No child of mine shall ever have that old bum Tattletale, as it's godfather. Be- sides all his other vices, he's as poor as church mouse, one of those people that poverty is positively catching from, and the Lord knows I'm not looking for anybody like that. No, MT. Caudle, l shall not have my child sponsored by

you speak, Mir. Caudle? Don't you care anything for your own flesh and blood? People who don't love children any more than you do, should never have them. You don't like MT Newly -riche? No more do I, but people with families to pro- vide for mustn't take too much account of their own feelings in such matters but then I'm a mother and love my babies and have their interest at heart. You won't have MT. Newy-rche? Then that settles it.'
 What do you think of MT Right in-it? I loathe and detest his snob bish old wife, but then I can lay aside my feelings, as I said before, for the sake of my children Whats that you say? He's such a wicked man? Ba. that's exactly like you MT. Cauble; always running somebody down like an automobile. We mustn't believe what the world says MT. Caudle It doesn't become us as Christians to do so. I know nothing about his wicked ness; I only know he has neither chick nor child and has been married death for us to name our baby for him. You refuse? All right; we won't. The baby's as much yours as it is mine, so we wort argue that any fur ther.
 What do you think of MT. Teady kins? MT. Caudle, please don't bounce around that way and let the air un der the sheets so that they blow up like a tent Can't you lie still and discuss this matter like a man? What's
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-15

that You wouldn't ask MT Tead y- kins a favor for the world? Well, iE good thing .he poor little baby ot ours has somebody to care for it. I'd ask any favor for my baby. You say you will leave me If I approach MT. Tead-y -1ins with our baby as a name- sake? Very well; that's scratched.
 Suppose you give an opinion on Mr Gott-rox? The last man in the worlG you'd want to stand sponsor for baby of yours? Mir Caudle, 1 firmly believe you are crazy Don't you know that Mr.-Gott-roX is as rich as the bank of which he is president? He los- four babies straight hand-running and he'd be ticllled within an inch of his life to have a pretty little Caudle named for him. You care nothing for money? Well, I believe you, MT. Cau dle I believe that you think money is sin instead of the greatest Of our rich acquiantances that your nose doesn't go up in the air and you sniff like a race horse. I don't believe you like a man unless he's an hold bum and a pauper Where could you have got your low notions, MT Caudle9 only hope none of our dear boys will take after their father.
 And there's Mr. Lazarus Gold-diS- ger. Have you any objection to him besides the fact that he's rich? You don't like his name? We'll I confess I have heard more genteel and elegant names than Lazarus, but then after he's gone and done what's proper for

be done, so why not now? The baby must have a godfather and who shall we have? Who do you think will be able tc do most for the child? What's that? I'm a mercenary woman, worldly wom- an? Indeed, I'm not; I merely have the feeling for my boy that any good moth- CT should have, and what's the use of a godfather if he gives nothing else to q child but a name? A child might almost as we'll not be christened at all. What do you suggest?'
 MT. Caudle, I say, are you asleep again? Why don't you wake up and an- swer my question? Who shall we have as godfather for our latest baby? What do you say? Anybody? Why, MT. Caudle, aren't you ashamed of your wicked, un- feeling self? I don't know where you pick up such principles; you didn't used to be like that When I ask you a civil question about your child and who his godfather shall be- you turn around and snap me up and answer: Anybody! You are a regular heather, sir,
 Whats that you say? If the baby must be named and have a godfather, won't I suggest some one? Certainly; now you are talking like man, Mr. Caudle, and I feel very kindly toward you in spite of your shortcomings and lcnggoings when you behave that way We'll then, let me see. Hows MT. Newly Iiche? He's bachelor and very good friend of ours; no chance of his ever marrying at his age in life and he has loads of money and is crazy about babies. Wouldn't it be a sple.tdiG thing to find our little darling in his will? Why don t

 What's that? He must have a name? There's no must at all in this case, MT.

But rather by far would 1 have him thus designated than that old Tattletale should be connected in any way with him as godfather. No. Nine; yes, that's what he'll be called, and-and.

beside the hen has a better letter of credit than the Muscovy duck, war ranted noseless, inoffensive, adaptable and early maturing. Though com mon fallacy believes 1t husky, it is un- noticeable. Geese on good pasturage are as economical till fattening time. Turkeys run up big board bill after September No other fowl approaching the weight of the Muscovy can so satis- factorily support itself from start to finish. Though an honest member of the duck tribe, it lacks many faults of its kinsmen. For that reason any person reasonably situated can raise few Muscovies.
 One drake and three to six ducks ac- cording to environment, are sufficient for the average barnyard flock. Their
 health and independence recommend them to the negro. In the south they form the chief feature first of cabin scenes, of cabin feasts, later.
 The extra grain they eat is scarcely missed. Their eggs may be used. but are saved for incubation. Their thick, downy plumage is not despised as a sub stitute for goose feathers. The Mus covy on range is practically self feeder,

Sufficient sugar makes of it a splendid preserve-which can be kept just the same any other by packing down in a clean, hot jar, covering with brandy paper, letting cool under cloth, then putting on tight top and keeping in a cool, dry, dark place.
 For rhubarb with red raspberries, add to five pounds prepared rhubarb three pounds of berries, well-washed and free of any sour or over-ripe ones. Add six pounds sugar, or three-quarters of pound for each pound of fruit.

minus the self feeders habit of destruc- tlveness. It is not scavenger, but feeds and thrives where other fowls would sub sist meagerly. Figuratively, it is the pig of the poultry yard. It grubs assidu- ously for worms, beetles and roots. Flies are special dainties. Young Moscovies soon seize the opportunity presented by a sleeping COW in flytime, and forthwith establish themselves as fly-catchers-in- waiting. Little ducks fearlessly circle a calf hopping up and down after flies. They respond to supplementary feeding of meal, wheat screenings, cracked corn, mill feed. bran, rolled oats, and so on. They can and do thrive without grain. but must have range to some degree. Having no crop, this duck is continuous feeder and requires much roughage.
 Muscovy Mannerisms
 Familiarity with Muscovy nature re- veals traits decidedly anomalous to duck disposition The warty knots at the base of the drake's bill his huge, unwieldy size and numbering gait confer upon him a bellicose air. The duck is gentler timid but responsive to advances when accompanied with bribes of corn. till he has established her friendship. Neither has a quack worth mentioning. Fences are favorite perch and there is tale of duck that nestled in tree. When scared, young and thin Muscovies take prolonged flights. They must be handled with care else they may do damage With their long, curved toe-nails, their chief method of defense.
 The duck nests in dark corners. under managers and boxes, in litter, secrets it with turkeys cunning and shares the guineas revulson to having it disturbed. Collecting her eggs upsets her arrange ments and she promptly seeks new nest She lines it with down and pro- ceeds to settle herself for a five weeks incubation. Whenever she leaves 1t. she covers the eggs with a downy blanket, no matter how hot the weather.
 The Muscovy, originally from warm climate, endures the rigors of zero weather if given reasonable protection. Nature controls the production of eggs so that ducklings rarely appear before settled weather. While her sensitiveness to. cold weather operates as a handicap to egg production. she costs less to board. The eggs are ndiatinguishable from those of Pekins. with nigh percentage of fer

Methods With YounG Muscovies

good duck produces often two broods season and is useful several years.
 Methods With YounG Muscovies
 Managing the young ones depends upon the environment Natures plan is easiest. Two days after matching, the proud mother may be seen conducting her brood to the nearest water. ex- horting them with a sibilant but inn perative hiss Then she hastens to the fields and raises her family in cheer- full independence, or she may accept gratefully a daily supper of some sort of mash
 It is interesting to note that the youngsters hatch very leisurely, often consuming two days in cracking the shell and emerging, in marked contrast to the haste of the guinea. They should not be taken from the nest too soon. Having been accustomed for weeks to Ia sustained high heat, they are sus ceptible to chill which will speedily end their career. If as sometimes hap pens, Mother Muscovy msreckons the calendar and presents a brood too early. the nest with its down lining may be transferred to a GOOD where the mother may be domiciled. It means the saving of the duclllings. Baby Muscovies learn to know the coop and hen with alacrity They must have constant supply of drinking wa ter and grit, with three daily meals of soft mash and some sort of meat food such as milk curd or boiled egg. Denied this. they will develop morbid appetite for dead things. The first de- cayed material they find introduces {, Timber into the flock the only 1 disease which troubles them, and is almost always fatal. Young Muscovies can be penned successfully, but their board bill devours the profit Fresh crab shells are a favored and cheap ad. dition to duck diet in tidewater coun- ties. Curd is usually available on farms. Fresh meat scraps from the table ground up, are excellent and con- tribute to satisfying the craving of these meat-eaters, if they lack the op- portunity to get sufficient worms and beetles
 At the age of three and a half to four months. they are full-feathered, weighing three to five pounds (accord- ing to sex) and marketable. Kept too ilong after this they gain weight at expense of tenderness of meat l The person who wishes to try this ! fowl in a town lot will find it a better plan to buy eggs for matching instead of maintaining a flock which would be | expensive.
 Much satisfaction arises in one's ex- lperience with little Muscovies. They
 are not subject to gapes, soon outgrow tenderness to shill and damp grass
 are not subject to parasites and grow lvery friendly No scratched-up flower gardens, no nibbled vegetables are left in their wake.
 The building up of a highly pro- ductive flock commences in the selec-
 tion of strong, healthy chicks for flu ture breeders. The culls should be mar keted. Next weeks article has to dc with this important subject.
