scrap is gradually increased until 1t
reaches Is per cent by the end of the
third week. The proportion of corn
meal Is increased for the ducllings to
be marketed and the bran decreased
as the time for marketing the duck
lings approaches.
, The fattening ration, which should
be used for two weeks before killing.
consists of three parts, by weight. OF
cornmeal, two parts of lOw-grade -four
or middlings, one part of bran, one
half part of beef scrap, 10 per cent
green feed and 3 per cent grit. This
mash is fed three times daily. The
green feed Is sometimes left out of
the ration during the last week of fat
tening, as 1t tends to color the meat,
but ii Is easier to keep the ducklings
In good feeding condition IL II Is In
cluded. Boiled fish Is sometimes used
In place of the beef scrap, but this
should be discontinued two weeks be-
fore the ducklings are killed In order
not to impart II fishy Ia ste. Where
milk Is available at sufficiently low
price, the ratiOns recommended for
milk-fattened chickens would produce
well-bleached milk-fed green duck.
Celery seed Is also used, as this Is said
to flavor the flesh.
Tho Egg Breed.
For the general farmer who is more
interested In obtaining eggs than in
producing green ducks for the market.
the Indian Runner Is good breed.
This duck holds the same relative po-
sition in the duck family thae the Leg
horn does In the chicken family. 1t
lays goOd-sized white egg, consider
ably larger than a hens egg, and Is
declared to be small eater, a, good
forager and hardy.
At the present time the keeping OF
ducks for eggs is an industry which
appears to be growing more rapidly In
the South than elsewhere. A good de-
mand for these eggs exists ut Easter
time, and the prices are usually sew
eral cents dozen higher than for
hens eggs, but during the balance OF
the year the average price for the two
has been about the same. Recently.
however, the introduction of the In
dian Runner has helped In building
up a trade In first-class ducks eggs.
These eggs should be marketed fire.
quently, as they depreciate in quality
more rapidly than hens eggs. The
possibilities Of securing a market.
moreover, should be carefully investi-
gated, for 1t is only In certain places
that good prices can be secured for
fancy ducks eggs. Xs
On commercial duck farms most Of
the Matching is done In incubators, for
the Pekin and Indian Runner rarely
sit. On farms where no incubator is
available, the eggs are usually hatched
under hens. The period of incubation
Is week longer than that of hens
eggs, and, for this reason, the hen
must be well cared for. While ducks
are easier to brood artificially than.
chickens, they may also be raised sue
cessfully under hens. In the latter
case 1t Is better to confine the hens
and to allow the duclslings free range.
Birds that are intended for sale as
green ducks, however, are not usually
allowed much range, but are fed heav-
lily and forced for rapid growth. The
brooders and brooding systems used
for chickens give good results In
rearing duckllngs, although the letter
do not require as high a temperature.

winter thaw Is sure indication Of
this waste of the most soluble and
valuable parts. of the manure. If,
however, manure is spread on hilly
land long enough before freezing, for
rain to carry the soluble parts into
the soil, almost no waste occurs. And
the same is true on light snow, If the
ground underneath is not frozen. But
it should be borne In mind that the
saving in labor by hauling in winter
when teams are not busy, is not suf-
ficient to Offset the loss from washing
on frozen, hilly ground, provided the
manure can be kept under cover, or
even well tramped on an open, level

at home, ignorant of all things concerning her
new land, while the father and children became
Americans.
Widowed fathers are a new problem since
the influenza epidemic robbed thousands OF homes
of the mother and h~omemaker.
Almost any woman can make a home Tor her
children, given the dollars and cents to buy bread
and butter and shoes; but it takes so much more
than dollars and cents to enable a father to make
q home. Women engaged in administering moth
ers' pensions funds and other forms of welfare
work have found that funds were totally made
quate to solve the problem of the father left a
widower with several small children.
Many men whose wives were stricken during
the epidemic are hardworking, home-loving ia
Tiers, who cling to the children with a tenderness
that is heartbreaking. 1t is our mission to find
homes for the children near enough so that the
father can see them every day and keep closely in
touch with their little affairs. The father can
often pay for the children's board. 1t is the extra
things that women must do for the children that
make it impossible for him to keep them at home.
The milk problem alone is large enough and
complex enough to keep thousands of women
busy. 1t is stated that for every American man
who fell on the battlefields of Europe nine of our
babies have died. These are the startling figures
of the bureau of child hygiene. The war period
total was 10000. against our casualty list of 3d.
600.
OF every three deaths one is of a child under
three years. DR.. S.. Josephine Baker. director Of
the bureau Of hygiene of the New York city board
of health, frankly brands us as a nation careless
of human life, and figures fasten her charge on us.
But the experience of the New York Diet Kitchen
association (and no doubt Of other kindred
groups) has been that when these facts are really
brought to our consciousness helpful response is
immediate. That this response falls so far short
Of the need can only mean that the full weight Of
such figures is not visualized as 1t should be.
If the horror of q huge cityful of little slaugh-
tered baby bodies were really brought home to the
parent heart of our great-hearted nation 1t would
quicken to one mighty effort the determination
that such things should no longer be.
DR.. Harvey Wiley, long head of the national bu-
reau of health. says of the workers for child con-
s~ervation that they are "tn the very front line
trenches Of humanity, on duty without rest, fight
inc against terrific odds, but as certain of ultimate
victory as the forces Of the allies were against
the devastating Hum
Can it be possible that our charity must have
the perspective of distance? 1t would seem so, for
no unusual difficulty was found In financing with
American money five milk stations in London re-
Gently. Yet figures showed that while the per
centage of malnutrition among London babies was
u per cent, that of New York babies during the
same period was q per cent. A speaker lately re
marked that "New York needs to be three to Eve
thousand miles from itself in order to be aroused
to q sense of its crying needs"

crippled by the tragedy of ~infantile paralysis. That
talth is fast coming to the top again, after they
have been given the much-needed attention.
The women of the motor corps feel that if there
is anything they can DO to make these children
whole again they are going to do it. A large per-
centage of the treatments given the children is
successful, as most of the children are young.
Another form of service rendered by the women
of the motor corps, still using Jamaica as an illus
tration, takes the district nurse all over the city.
This nurse follows up the cases Of the children
who have been treated at the hospital and does
good work in finding out what the other needs Of
the children are. In some cases it is nourishing
food, in others shoes, In others clothes.
There is only one district nurse in jamaica and
her salary is paid out of the proceeds Of a second
hand clothing shop which Is run by the well-to-do
women Of the community. This shop is patronized
by the poorer people Of Jamaica and has proved a
source of great help to them.
One day a shabbily dressed woman walked into
the shop and looked around. She saw two Holland
shades on the counter and paid three cents apiece
for them. The woman who waited on her was
very interested and could not imagine what she
wanted the shades for, when she was evidently in
greater need of other things. A few days later the
woman reappeared at the store and proudly dis
played a white waist and a pair of white pants her
little boy was wearing.
II bleached the Shades" she said, because we
have an opportunity to go away to the country for
q week. We were told that we must have a change
Of clothes, so / was able to make a change by doing
this. We are going away tomorrow"
The giver of the shades would feel glad II she
could know what good had been accomplished by
her act.
Jamaica is not the only city where the people
have realized what the word service stands for.
In New York state alone there are ninety-two
branches of the National League for Women's
Service, and the league has a national enrolment
Of three hundred thousand members and Is estab-
lished in thirty-eight states.
Plenty Of Opportunity.
There is plenty of work for all these members
and more-today. An Americanizatlon conference
Of the department of the interior was held at
Washington the other day. Americanization seems
to include many activities.
1.-THE differentiation movement is the first
great activity Of peace times In which everyone
can unite, regardless of any other affiliations" de-
clared C.. H.. PAUL Of Harvard university. "A com.
munity about to interest itself in Americanlzation
should bring Its resources together under a single
purpose with a willingness to pool their interests
for the common good"
DIR. Peter Roberts of the International Y. NJ. @.

rather than to force your own ideas
as to what the trade ought TO IN
sumo.
3. Make regular shipments. Instead
of making the city commission district
the dumping ground for what your To-
cal dealers will not buy, keep your
city agent regularly supplied with
what his trade will take, thereby help
ing him stabilize the business in which
you are both concerned.
4. Keep each other informed. Early
in the shipping season the farmer
should give his agent a careful esti-
mate of what may be expected, and
no material changes in the quantity
of the regular shipment should be
made, unless prompt notice is given
the agent in order that he may secure
purchasers in case of increase or
arrange to care for his regular GUS
toners if shipments will not meet re-
quirements. Successful shippers make
frequent use of the telegraph or long
distance telephone to keep agents
posted as to changes in shipments.
The agent should also be expected to
keep the shipper informed as to any
changes in the requirements Of the
market.
5. Avoid frequent changes in agents.
Some shippers prefer to divide their
shipments each day among numerous
commission merchants in the same
market. While it may be wise under
certain conditions to check N agent
by the sales Of another the most sue
cessful consignor seems to be the one
who selects an agent with great care
and then sticks to him, cooperating
with him in every possible way and
carefully scrutinizing all settlements.
The honest agent is glad to do his part
in such teamwork" and welcomes the
most ekacting examination Of his
methods.
