BY new rule specifying that cream

special purposes not permissible In the
face Of present shortages OF fats
abroad. The rule applies directly to
licensed dealers ard through them re-
stricts ultimate consumers. including
housewives. hotels. restaurants and

To prevent misunderstanding OF this
regulation by dairymen the Food Ad-
ministration states very clearly that
ii does not affect, nor In any way ap-
ply to cream used for butter making.
ice cream making or other manufac-
turing purposes. In fact, richer
cream-one testing between 30 and 40
per cent butterfat-is more desirable
for most manufacturing operations.
especially butter making where high
butterfat content means a minimum
OF labor and a generally lower cost
of operation
The full text OF the cream rule
which is now in effect follows:
mo licensee shall sell sweet cream
which contains more than twenty per
cent butterfat to consumers or retail
distributors of cream. provided that
this rule shall not prevent the licen-
see from selling sweet cream contain

Ducks MINE GOLD
ON WESTERN RANCH


Owner sprInkIed Creek Bed With
Grain to Encourage Their
Activities.
Beaver. Okla.H There are miners
and miners. but 6id you ever hear of
ordinary Indian Runner ducks In that
rolef NOT Well. then, read on.
Joseph Bryson, who lives on q big
ranch on Ten Mile Greek. southwest
OF here, drives up in his automobile
about twice q year to the First Ma
uonal Bank of Liberal. Kan. and
deposits q bag of gold dust. Also Mr..
Byson Is constantly getting in big
shipments of Indian Runner ducks for
his ranch. These things cause some
of the country folk to call Mr.. Bryson
"Gold Dust Joe," and his ranch the
"Gold Duck Ranch"
For q long time no one thought OF
coupling the two-ths ducks and the
gold dust. Bryson always said at the
bank that the gold dust came from
his claim In Arizona
Then, It Is said, came the discovery
that the gold dust came from the
ranch on Ten Mile Creek, and that
the placer mining was being done BY
the thousands Of ducks on the ranch.
Some of the "old timers" claim that
several years ago Bryson bought .
few pairs Of ducks and placed them
on his ranch for the eggs they might
produce. He had no idea that they
one day would be laying golden eggs
for him.
One day, say these old settlers. he
killed couple of ducks for dinner. In
dressing them he was surprised to
find a considerable quantity Of gold
dust in their craws and also lining the
stomach and intestines. He killed
some more. In nearly every bird gold
dust and fine nuggest were found.
As the only possible explanation.
they quote the fact that Ten Mile
Creek, as other streams Of the
section. rises in the edge of New
Mexico. It 10 well known that gold
sands from Colorado and New Mexico
have been washed down the streams
8uQ QopOoltcu III IhO oohby oOAAs ~AS
ducks, In wading about In the mud
occasionally had dived down. taken up
q bill full of mud, literally sprinkled
with gold dust, which stuck to their
craws or lined the walls of the stona-
ach and intestines.
And" says an old farmer, "Bryson
began a systematic propagation OF
the ducks, and encouraged them to eat
plenty of mud. He sprinkled the bed
of the creek with grain and bugs to
encourage the ducks to get mouthfuls
of the golden mud. OF course, he had
to kill a good many ducks to get much
gold, but the ducks are easily propa-
gated, and he shipped in many OF
them.
1.-THE ducks yielded enough gold to
bank a substantial sum in gold dust
every six months. AS by-product
the feathers were sold to an Eastern
concern. The carcasses were fed to
swine in the ranch and went far to-
ward fattening the hogs, with ration
of grain. The ducks gave the pork
a flavor which made his hogs in
demand"

direction of the Lick Log Gap. and
following them, Mr.. Oils soon came
to a place where signs indicated that
the thief had dropped his slippery
burden and had had trouble In re-
placing It upon his shoulder.
"Mr. Oils hurried on. Scarcely hfty
