The bufflehead, more generally
known as the butterball duck, Is
but a trifle larger than the green
winged teal, but otherwise does
not compare in any way with this
bird as the body Is more compact.
The wings are small but the head
and feet comparatively large. The
male Is colored a striking black
and white; white below, black
above, with large triangular white
patch extending from eye to eye
across the back Of the puffy crest
which is in iridescent black. The
female is also white below, a faded
black above and on the head, with
white spot on each cheek. They
are best recognized by their dim
inutive size, the white wing bar,
and in the male the conspicuous
white triangle on the head. It is
noted for its remarkable diving
ability, Is fond Of deep waters and
Is seldom seen on shallow ponds or
sloughs.
The wood duck is the most bril-
iantly plumaged, the most beautiful
of all ducks with it's chestnut
breast, buff sides and decidedly
iridescent black back and head
marked with white. The dropping
crest and white throat of the male,
the white eye-ring Of the female
and the white under body are
characteristics by which these
birds may be known. Usually found

JUNIOR SHOW GRADS"
CHOSEN AS OFFICIALS

Eight former exhibitors will act
as superintendent of the 18th an
nual Minnesota Junior Livestock
Show when it is held, November
II to II. Announcing this new
plan, w. e. Morris, University
Farm, general manager, says it
not only emphasizes that the juni-
or show Is growing UP, but also
gives added experience and recog-
milton to some outstanding exnibi-
tors who are now past All age.
In the past, the various divisions
of the junior show have been in
charge of agricultural extension
specialists from the University.
From now on, however, the plan
each year will be to select four
seniors from the agricultural col
lege to serve as superintendents
and four juniors to serve as assis-
tants so they can be superinten-
dents the following year. All
those selected, ohwever, must have
been former exhibitors and must
be students who stand high in their
college work.
Following are the young men
chosen this year to head the sew
eral divisions Of the show: Baby

near rivers and in wooded areas, It
is not especially fast in flight but
flies with an unusual twisting mo-
ton.
The graceful white swan is full
ly protected. It Is occasionally
mistaken for snow goose. The
swan is about three times the size
Of the snow goose. Another distin-
gushing feature is the pure white
coloring Of the swan; the goose
having black-tipped wings In
flight the snow goose is noisy
while the swan Is just the opposite.
The more common wild ducks
can roughly be divided into two
classes as far as their flight is con-
cerned. The deep water ducks such
as canvasbacks, redheads and
scaup come into lake rapidly, and
when flushed they fly along the
surface of the water before going
up. The shallow water ducks such
as mallards, gadwalls, pitfalls,
spoonbills, widgeon and teal come
in much more slowly and when
rising, climb rapidly.
Fire Danger Increases
With the coming of frost which
kills grass, shrubs and other vege-
ton, the danger of fire increases,
according to Grover Comet, state
forester. The grass in particular
becomes dry and lighted cigarette
will set 1t burning, he warned.

Animals of the Marshes
Have Need for Biz Ears

Large ears mostly belong to ami
mails that live In open places,
marshes or swamps, and feed by
daylight. There beasts Of prey stalk
them through long grass or lie in
ambushed thickets, SO that the first
necessity Of safety Is to hear un-
seen foes. The greatest danger of
such attacks is from behind, and
protection against It accounts for
the rabbits long ears-especially,
those Of jack rabbits, in one kind Of
which the ear equals a quarter the
length of the whole body. A rabbits
life is spent on the ground, usually
where there is little chance to hide,
and 1t can escape death only by a
quick Jump and great speed. For
warning Of the stealthy approach Of
an enemy It must depend almost
wholly on its ears. Between alarms

Nothing for the Ostrich
But to Become Zoo Freak


The ostrich is difficult to raise.
To begin with, It is not a prolific
bird. Under satisfactory climatic
conditions 1t lays at but one season
of the year. the eggs numbering
about a dozen. The period Of incu-
baton for Matching covers AZ days.
The male takes turns at setting,
going on duty, religiously every
evening, to be relieved by his mate
at daybreak.
The young chicks are extremely
delicate. The parents must be i'm
mediately removed, lest they step
on their offspring or rob them of
their food. Eggs and lettuce con-
stitute the young birds diet, to
which eventually may be added al
falfa, cut into minute pieces. Even
with the best Of care and atten-
ton Is per cent Of the young ones
die.
Once grown, however, the ostrich
formerly became perennial source
Of wealth. Each year as the male
developed his gorgeous plumage for
the mating season-thus winning
the favor Of the impressionable fe-
male-he was stripped Of tail and
wing feathers, which were curled,
dyed and then shipped to all parts
Of the world. Now there Is moth.
ing left for the ostrich but to join

HEAVY FEEDER CATTLE
ARE NEEDED THIS YEAR

kA0b& GNlxx<1&2zV AAAAO = A>S~~s
with large supplies Of roughage
TO be disposed Of, this fall and win
ter, the cattle-feeder will need to
get heavy, well grown feeder cattle
according to q statement made by
Prof. =. G. King, head Of the de-
.partment OF animal husbandry'
Purdue university. Indiana, IN q
talk on Livestock Feeders Day at
university Farm, st. Paul, q few
DAYS ago. Cattlemen In Minnesota
have an abundance Of roughage
this year, and their problem will be
to displace Of 1t to the best advan-
tage. Fairly mature cattle are best
fitted to make use Of roughage.
Professor King, as a result OF
work at the Indiana Experiment
station, also recommended the use
of oats as particularly suited to
starting cattle on feed, but warned
that the cost Of grains would be
Increased II oats replaced corn In
the ration to any large extent.
Another suggestion for livestock
men, made by the Indiana man,
and urged as most important, was
that farmers should select brood
sows according to their perform
ance in raising pigs. According to
Professor King, the herd OF pure
bred swine at the Indiana Expert
ment Station is largely descended
from a few exceptional brood sows.
Ninety-nine Chester White pigs
raised this season were narrowed
by only II sows all of which are
descended from one sow OF out
standing ability as a producer. Pro-
lessor King urged emphatically the
desirability of selecting the most
efficient producers as contrasted
with hit-and-miss election In pick
ing dam for future crop OF pigs.
