Save Poultry Croppinus.

Chicken manure is the richest of all
farm manures in reitilzing elements,
md it should he 50 cared for that none
of it's excellent elements be wasted or
leached away, 1t should he preserved
under shelter and have mixed with it
such material as kainit or dry earth or
acid phosphate or land plaster or muck.
Do not lime it or add lime to it since 1t
would drive off the nitrogen. 1t should
not be .nixed with sawdust or sand, as
they u without value. To compost
with loan or leaf would be all right

DUCK RAISING PAYS.

Birds Are Easily Handled, and With
Care Return Good Profits.
Improved methods Of artificial incu-
baton and brooding combined with
judicious feeding with the aid of ma
chinery have enabled duck breeders to
grow their stock early and thus obtain
the best prices and to raise large mum
bers of birds economically.
Almost any location will do for duck
raising. Cheap, wornout or marshy

The Indian Runner duck, which
had its origin in India-hence the
forepart of it's name-has rapidly
come into wide popularity by reason
of its prolific egg yield and by rea-
son of which it is aptly termed the
Leghorn of the duck family. The
name Runner is very appropriate,
for they literally run, instead of
waddling, as do other ducks, and
sometimes present very comical
appearance. The bird pictured Is
an Indian Runner duck.

F Communication Service.

Our communication service be- tween civilians in the United States and their relatives in France and enemy countries has grown to a great volume and will continue to 'grow. One of our principal difficulties at the pre- sent time is our inability to decipher the names and ad- dresses of those to whom com- munications are to be sent. This has resulted in the return of many letters by the Internation- al Red Cross at Geneva, because of incorrect addresses. Each letter should be perfectly legible. Each name and address should be spelled correctly. If you could arrange to have the names and addresses written on the typewriter. it would enormously facilitate our work. The Bureau of Communications has assumed responsibility for this work at the request of the State Department. and is anxious to render efficient service. Your cooperation is earnestly requested. The secret ary of the Home Service Section, Miss Alma Roach, Ozark. will be glad to typewrite the names and addresses on envelopes when neceessary.
