FEED FOR DUCKS AND GEESE
Heavy Supply of Grain Not Necessary
II Fowls Are Growing Rapidly
on Good Pasture.

growing rapidly 1t is not necessary to
feed grain heavily, provided they have
good pasture. Just enough grain to
keep them strong and vigorous is all
that they require. AS they near ma
turity, and are TO be fed for market the
grain ration should be gradually in
creased until they are getting all that
they will eat up twice per day. Old
corr is the best feed for fattening
geese.

MIX from as fresh a COW as possible
and which is not rich in b~utterfat
should be diluted about %one-fourth
with fresh water. A tablespoonful of
sugar n about three ~teaspoonfuls Of
limewater should be added for each
pint. This mixture should be supplied
to the colt at about body temperature.
A bottle with a rubber nipple, or even
a finger Of a kid glove with a fair-sized
hole in 1t fitted over the end of n spout
of a vessel, such as a teapot, will serve
as a convenient utensil in getting the
foal to take the milk. II the finger of
a kid glove Is used 1t should be clean.
AT first about one-half a cupful of
milk should be given every hour, the
quantity to be increased slightly and
the intervals to be heightened gradu-
ally as the foal grows older. In about
two months skinned milk may be sub
stituted for whole milk, and In addi-
tion. one of the following rations
should be fed: One part fiaxseed meal
boiled to a jelly, and two or three
parts bran; or two parts ground oats,
n part cornmeal, and one-half part
fiaxseed meal; or two parts bran, two
parts cornmeal, and n part oil meal.
Feed a double handful a day to start
with. and increase the amount grad
ually.
Keep Utensils Clean.
The vessel in which the milk Is sup
piled should be scalded thoroughly
each time 1t Is used. Unclean re-
ceptacles for the milk and irregular
intervals for feeding likely will aus
scours. The quarters should be very
clean and the orphaned foal should
have company of some kind. Another
foal Is desirable, but even a calf is
better than no company. A grassy
paddock with abundant shade, fresh
water, and protection from flies in
crease the orphans chance of proper

DIR. Alexander Irvine on a British
Authors Idea of
Americans
Americans

B. Yeats and Galsworthy looked
at Lady Gregory as much as to
say-"hather odd, you know-hoW
did you find them?"
The next thing that made me
gasp was his description of
American houses. He had looked
out of the car windows on the
way to Chicago and had noticed
, that our houses were as uniform
as our overcoats! He said they
looked as If they had all been
turned out by mass production
and of one pattern.
When he calmly informed his
erudite audience that there was
no such a thing in America as
love Of country 1 thought 1 would
tumble off my guinea seat! My
next impulse was to get up and
interrupt him or go out! Then
as 1 watched the faces Of the
audience l became amused and
sat 1t out.
His conclusion was quite funny,
but he didn't mean it to be. We
had no literary or dramatic CEN
ter of authority in America. and
he deplored that. 'Of course"
he added. America is young
and full of foreigners" etc, etc.
He sat down amid a typically
English society applause. They
were satisfied. They had had
their moneys worth.
Galsworthy closed the meeting
by suggesting that when America
did get a literary or dramatic
center of authority or power, he
felt quite sure it would be in
Washington.
If some one had described that
lecture to me l would not have
believed that an intelligent man
could be so blind. deaf, dumb and
stupid. But l heard it. If he
could see nothing but the thing
that displeased him there would
be no reason to resent unfair
criticism, but when l see his
books reviewed now I am very
likely to take the same view of
them that l take Of him-shal-
low, unreal, untrue, trivial.

for her to cultivate one of the

r ONDON-It is possible for q
person so wildly to imagine
- that he or she is suffering
from dangerous heart disease that
death may take place, even
though healthy.
This is one of the conclusions
to be drawn from a remarkable
statement by DIR. H. Walker Yer
don, F. r. G. s., a Wampole street
specialist, who is a great expert
on angina pectoris, a paroxysmal
affection of the chest, characterized
by severe pains, faintness and
anxiety. More than 1000 persons
died from angina pectoris during
1920. The possibilities are that
a large proportion Of these per-
sons imagined they suffered from
heart disease.
DR.. Verdon declares that in 49
per cent of autopsies on anginous
subjects the heart was found to
be sound and in many cases
robust. In much larger per-
centage disease, if existing at all,
was not Of a character likely to
. have caused death. He states:
Seizures of angina pectoris are
not from the heart" but from the
stomach. I have not infrequent-
ly noticed, while watching the car

extremity of anginous pain, and
when the victim of the complaint
is at the very gate of death, the
heart is pursuing the usual quiet
tenor of it's rhythmic round, I'M

Of it's essential functions, and
wholly unconcerned by the gravity

the cause Of sudden death Is a
matter worthy of public notice"

remarkable lecture in Lon

lecture was one of a series given
by such men as Shaw, Galsworthy
and w. B. Yeats. for the benefit
Of the Abbey Theater, Dublin.
On the occasion of Ervine's lee
ture, Galsworthy presided. In his
introduction he spoke of himself
as a tin whistle and of IRVINE as
a brass band. Galsworthy is re-
puted to be the best dressed lit
erary man in London.
Mr.. Ervine began his lecture
by saying that he knew nothing
about the American theater. Then
he proceeded to demonstrate 1t.

Europe Cannot Be Saved by Diplomacy; She
Must Go Back to Hard Work
By HENRY J. ALLEN, Former Governor of Kansas.

Europe cannot be saved by diplomacy. She must go back to hard
work. It is impossible to place all Europe in one category. Some parts
are very bad, and there are also several bright spots But I brought away
a gloomy picture of the stirring Of new ambitions and the forming of new
ententes.
1t is suggestive Of the old system of alliances. It is evident IN the
Near East and the Balkans. 1t is noticeable in the French counting of
Poland and Czechoslovaka and the British advances toward
Italy. There is the suggestion that trouble may impend again
from the same reactions that brought on the late war. The powers are
playing for position.
Southern Russia has improved because the peasants have returned to
work on the land. Great Britain is giving Palestine a government prob
ably better than that it enjoyed under Solomon or David. found
Egypt the most prosperous spot abroad. Greece is reviving admirably from
the Near East debacle, and France is forcing Germany to make a reason
able reparations offer and carry it out.
America cannot do much now to help Europe. We should join The
Hague court, but the time has not yet arrived to join the league OF
nations. / agree with President Harding regarding our attitude toward
Europe. We should seek to be helpful when European questions arise
which affect us, or which threaten world civilization, but we must not get
mixed upin European politics.

When the Timber Supply of This Country Is
Gone Where Will We Turn?
By COL. W. B. GREELEY, U. S. Forester.

Starting with the great forests of New England, we have seen the
lumber industry pushed westward and southwark as the forests OF the
East were exhausted Of merchantabe saw timber. Pennsylvania, which
but a generation ago, was one of the large tmber-exportlng states IN
the union, now pays a freight bill of ~S90,00O,O00 on the forest products
needed to supply the demands of its people.
When the merchantable timber supply Of this country is gone, where
will we turn? To Europe? Most emphaticany no! Europe has no more
than she herself needs. Her forests were exhausted generations ago. Shall
we turn to Siberia? Yes, but in a very limited degree, since most ot the
Siberian softwood forests III inaccessible. Shall we turn to the tropcs'
Yes, for hardwood, which cannot be cl@ed as structural and al[purpose
woods; first, because Of high costs, and second, because OF the nature
of the wood.
Then where will the United States get its timber when its own
forests are no longer able to supply the demands The answer IS
nowherei Nowhere in the world are there enough softwood forests to
supply the needs Of the United States and the other countries with. which
we will come in contact as active competitors bidding for the worlds
timber supply.
No. the importing bubble has been burst by a careful analysis OF the
facts. The practical thing to do is to use wisely the remaining forests
of the United States, and to grow a new timber crop, so that we shall not
be forced to seek beyond our shores the timber we need to carry N our
agriculture. to build our homes, to print our newspapers and periodicals.,
to run our factories, and to give employment to more than l,Ooo,OoO OF
our citizens.
