Among hens, the general utility breed
may be said To be the Barred Rock
or perhaps the Rhode Island Red. The
White Embdcn among geese, and the
hamnouth Bronze among turkeys have
similar qualifications. The claimant to
the same class among the duck tribe is
surely the White Pckin.
The points Of Likeness between the
White Fmbden goose and the Pekin arc
peculiarly apparent. Not alone in the
color scheme. which they obviously
share, but i'll habits, carrlage, disposition
and dependable qualities, these breeds
of two tribes are parallel.
For many years the popular or COM
mon duck was the Puddle, vocifero,Is,
happy-go-luck accommodating itself 10
the simplest existence, but OF no marked
characteristics nor special value-JIst n
duck. When about 1870 the White Pekin
was imported from China, the land Of
ducks. its reception was far from tolerant.
II was not novelty alone that commended
it to duck lovers With Oriental pliabil-
ity. it adapted itself 10 it's new home and
proceeded 10 demonstrate it's abilities TO
the Pckin belongs the credit for the in-
petus gwen 10 duck-ralsing IN thus coun-
try.
Its qualities arc not spectacular. The
Pckin is not sensational layer, nor
prc-erninentlv a table-fowl, nor show
bird. though It's white pltmagc, yellow
shanks and orange bill might well put
il in the last~named class IL IS simply
q eIcpendahlc breed Of honest laying
habits. valuable for its large white eggs
and It's feathers The tcst without chal-
lenge is its value in markct-and Pekins
alive or dressed always overtop other duck
Nv 2 or 3 cents a pound II rivals the
Muscovv. not because it is considered a
fine 4 table fowl, but because Of lts soft
white feathers In some sections where
Peklns arc rtl4cd IN numbers, they are
nickcd at regular intervals. ~ geese
when dry picked. The feathers command
price almost equal to that Of the bcsf
goose feathers.

Keeping His Course" By Ralph Hem

a Co. Price, $1.35, net.
In this very pleasing story Mr. Bar
bour presents Toby Tucker son OF a

Long Island Sound town. and his friend
Arnold Deering, son Of a rich New Yorker.
and q student at 1ardley Hall They
began their acquaintance with & fight
but Immediately afterwards became fast
friends.
Most interesting was the summer Of
these two boys. They had their motor
boats-Toby's one that be built almost
entirely himself, and Arnolds fine
affair ArnoId's stories Of the doings
at Yardley Hall fired Toby with the am
bition to go there, but the question was
how TO raise the money. And Toby by
hard work mingled with liberal guam
lity of good luck, solved the problem.
The pluck Of the two boys In driving
away q gang of robbers and recovering
a flne motorboat they had stolen, brought
in $500 reward, which the two bows
divided. Toby earned money by cstab-
fishing q ferry with bis motorboat, and
finally, the extension of aid to a house
boat party whose motorboat had be-
come disabled brought the remainder
OF the required sum
The entire story Is most at.ractively
told, In Mr.. Barbour's admirable man
ner, and the book is bound to prove
popular.
