HAVE YOU THE
FAULT FINDING HABIT

"How the critical habit grows
on Lora," said a sweet-faced,
elderly woman, after the depar-
ture of her bright, pretty niece.
at is almost impossible to speak
of anyone without her bringing
up some flaw or weakness. / be-
gin to tell her how proud we are
of Miss Wylie's literature success
and she interrupts me to ask,
Does she dress as freakishly as
ever?' I spoke of Magda's in
heriting that money from her
grandmother, and her comment
was, We'll, Magda needs money,
as long as she has neither beauty
nor brains Even the young peo-
pie who are her best friends here
do not escape her little sneering
comments. A year ago she might
have made few critical remarks
but her attitude would have been
very different from what it is to-
day."
Women who possess sharp ton
CUES and keen powers of discrim-
ination are inclined to pride them.
selves on being able to discover a
weakness in some popular ac'
quaintance, and to find satisfac-
tion in exposing it by caustic
phrase. And when once the habit
is formed, it grows. Not only are
the obvious weaknesses criticized,
but the critic seems to find salts
faction in searching for hidden
flaws and exposing them.
The faultrfnding habit is as
sure to make people unpopular as
any device they could possibly
light upon, and it contributes
equally to their unhappiness.
When everywhere we look, we see
what is unlovely, we might as
we'll be living in a world devoid of
charm and beauty. Be on your
guard against the habit of critic
ism, for as it strengthens it's hold
on you, you are bound to lose hold
on the worth while things of life.

UNCLE SAM TELLS WILD
DUCK FANCIERS HOW TO
RAISE YOUNG BIRDS

Uncle Sam is the best friend the
wild ducks have, and it follows
that he has a warm spot in his
heart for the wild-duck fowler,
too. In the interests of both he
has prepared leaflet on the pro-
pagation of wild duncks which
may be had from the Bureau of
Biological Survey, United States
Department of Agriculture, by
anyone who asks for it.
Mallards are the easiest to
handle, with wood duck coming
next. Black ducks need more space
than either of these because they
are more sensitive-a bit wilder"
Widgeon and teal need winter
shelter, if grown in the North, to
a greater extent than their cousins
but the provisions for shelter need
not be elaborate. For most ducks
and most climates a simple, three
sided shack is sufficient, though
extreme cold weather should find
the ducks housed in a tight build
ing with plenty of litter on the
floor.
Fresh infusions of wild blood
must be introduced from time to
time if the birds are to keep their
wild conformation.
Wild-duck eggs are usually
hatched under hens, though they
may be Matched in an incubator.
Breeding stock of whatever spe-
cies should be obtained in the fall
so as to be settled in it's quarters
before the breeding season, which
comes rather early in spring. The
leaflet describes the care and
feeding of the young birds at
every stage in their development
from the yellow fuzz of the duck
ling to the cleaning iridescent
feathers of the mature bird. It is
a leaflet that should interest
sportsmen as we'll as the game
farmers.
