yoke of an egg, beat 1t, add a pinch of
salt, add olive oil drop by drop, always
beating, with a few drops of lemon
juice or vinegar to thin il as it grows
too thick. After time the oil may be
added in tablespoonful quantities. The
success of this most delicate of all

WINTER SHELTER FOR DUCKS
Breeding Fowls Must Be Furnished
With Some Protection Against
Cold Rains and Snow.

Although adult ducks are so well
protected by their feathers that they
can stand great deal of dry cold
weather, the breeding birds must be
furnished protection from the cold
winter rains and SHOWS and they must
have a dry floor on which to roost.
Therefore q suitable shed or building
should be made available for the fowls
before the coming of winter. The
building may be quite simple in con-
structlOn and much less expensive
than one for hens.

81 SEEN HIM."

EREQUENTLY we hear a person
II say, 81 seen him do it," and 1t Is
not always a person who has not been
educated in the proper use of English.
In the language of the grammarian,
the speaker does not make proper dis
tinction between "saw," the preterit,
or past, form of the verb "see," and
the past participle of the same word.
The principal parts of "see" are as
follows: Present, "see"; past, saw" !;
imperfect participle, seeing; perfect
participle, seen. Therefore, the SEN
tence should have been wOrded, 81
saw him do it," not 81 seen him do It,"
We hear a person say, IL have saw"
or 81 would have saw" in those cases,
of course, the expressions should be,
81 have seen," Il would have seen"
since "seen" is the participle to be
used after any form of the auxiliary
or helping verb "have."
