vacant premises and all residential
property not containing the maximum
number of occupants and to threaten
to use force to secure lodgings. They
have published list of such places
and demand they be handed over.

Plan Plenty of Yard Space

For Young Duckling Flock Duck farms are usually located on light, sandy soil, preferably on slop~ ing land, where the droppirgS will leach freely into the soil, so that the land keeps sweet and clean. The farm should have good shipping fa cilities to aid both in shipping pro- ducts and in buying supplies. The arrangement of the buildings should be planned to economize labor and allow for future increase of the equipment.
 The incubator cellar should be convenient to the brooder house, the brooder house to the growing house and pens, and these buildings to the killing house. The pens in the houses, the outside yards, and the arrangement of the buildings should be planned so that the ducks may be easily driven from house to house as desired The feed room or house should be centrally located.
 Convenient watering arrange ments are essential where large num- bers of ducks are kept, as they re- QulE0 ldTSG dH1OuuL O1 uI1uh1LS water, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture. While ducks may be kept successfully under very intensive conditions, it is advisable to allow considerable yard space. Double yards, which may be rotated and planted to quick-growing crops, such as oats, wheat, and rye, are good for intensive duck farms.
 It is advisable to have pond or stream for the breeding ducks, as they usually give better fertility under these conditions, although on some successful duck farms the ducks are always kept on dry land. The young green ducks on some farms which have pond are not al lowed to go into the water except to bathe and clean their feathers just before marketing. Other growers, however, allow the green ducks free access to ponds or streams until they are marketed

OUR FARMERS CORNER
Heavy Feeding Results
 in Good Milk Yields

in Good Milk Yields
 During the last two years a num- Der of the purebred Holsteins at the Government farm at Beltsville, Md, have been run on official test. In order to increase their milk yield their rations were made decidedly more liberal than those called for by any of the feeding standards. Dur ing the milking period they received daily about 12 pounds of alfalfa hay, 20 pounds of corn silage, and as much grain as they could clean up without getting sick; they usually ate IS to 20 pounds day of grain mixture F. They were fed heavily also before their calves were born j; for 60 days or more before calvlng they usually received IS pounds of grain mixture F, 12 pounds of alfal- ia hay, and 25 pounds of corr. sil- age, a ration containing approxi- mately four times as much protein and two and one-half times as much total nutriment as the routine ration fed to the dry COWS of the general herd.
 The cows on test gave from 15,O00 to 2O,OOO pounds of milk in the year; that is, three to four times as much as most of the COWS in the general herd. A part of this larger yield is due to the fact that the test cows we're better bred, but part also is due, to the larger quantity of feed they consumed, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in charge of the tests. How much of the increased milk yield to attribute to each of these factors is a question of great practi- cal interest.

Preserving Eggs With Lime

If water glass is not obtainable, lime may be used for preserving eggs, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is not considered so good as wa t.r glass, as i'll some instances eggs preserved by this method have tasted slightly of lime, although at other times limewater has proved entirely satisfactory.
 To preserve with lime, dissolve 2 pounds of unslaked lime in a small quantity of water, and dilute with 5 gallons of water that has previously been boiled and cooled. Allow the mixture to stand until the lime settles, then pour off and use the clear liquid. Place clean, fresh

A Wire Frying Basket
 Has Many Kitchen U

If one happens to possess a wire frying basket, which of course is kept scrupulously clean, there are many daily uses for it besides the occasional deep-fat frying for which it was bought.
 After washing fruit, celery, or lettuce, the wire basket will be found a more effective dra iner han a colander. It can be set directly on the ice to keep the product crisp, say home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 All the tomatoes for salad may be scalded before peeling by lower ing them quickly into boiling water for a few seconds. Some peel peaches in the same way. Beets may / be readily peeled if after cooking they are plunged into cold water merely long enough to loosen the skin but not chill the hot vegetable.
 In boiling eggs for the family breakfast, place the required number in the wire basket and lower into boiling water. When the eggs are done they can easily be removed all at the same time by lifting out the basket. In frying croquettes or po- tato chips the use of the wire basket to hold the material to be fried saves time and energy.
 For frying doughnuts instead o1 placing the doughnuts in the basket use the bottom of the basllcV to Iorce the doughnuts under the surface o- the fat as soon as they rise to tht top. This use of the basket save time and fat, for doughnuts frieC under the fat absorb less grease an( can be fried in a shorter time. Th' basket cap also be used to drain tn fat from the doughnuts after frying
 Another use for the wire basket i in grating so1c cheese. 1t is mucl easier to force the cheese througl the meshes of the wir2 basket thal through grater.

Need of Standards for
 Three Important Containers

Three Important NontalnerS
 Three important shipping con- tainers in need of standardization at the present time are the hamper, the round-stave basket, and the market or splint basket, say specialists of the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture. Inves- tigations in all parts of the United States where these packages are used have shown a serious lack of uniformity in capacity, shape, and strength which could be corrected by the adoption of standards which have been prepared by the Bureau of Markets.
 These standards have been written into bill, H. R. 4900 now before Congress. Its adoption should go a long way toward eliminating the 15 styles and sizes of round-stave bas- kets, 25 styles and sizes of splint baskets as we'll as the 50 styles and sizes of hampers. The bill provides for 5 sizes of splint baskets, 4, 8, 12, 16, and "A quarts; 5 sizes of cound- stave baskets, k-bushel, 5-8-bushel, 1-bushel, 1 1a -bushel, and 2-bushel, and sizes of hampers, 8, 16, 20, 32, and 2 styles for 48 quarts.
 The green cabbage worm can be killed with an arsenate of lead spray in which laundry soap has been mixed to make it adhere to the leaves. This treatment will also kill the cabbage looper and other cab bage worms. Nicotine sulphate or kerosene emulsion and soap should be used against the harlequin cab bege bug ard plant lice or "aphis."
