ARRANGEMENT OF DUCK FARM1
Should Be Located on Light, Sandy
Soil, With Convenient Facilities
for Watering.
(Prepared by the I'nlted States Depart-
ment «>f Agriculture )
Duck farms are usually located on
light, sandy soil, preferably on sloping
land, whore the droppings will leach
freely Into the soil, go that the land
keeps sweet unit cleun. The fariu
should have good shipping facilities to
Aid both in shipping products and in
buying supplies. The arrangement of
the buildings should he planned to
economize labor and allow for future
Increase of the equipment.

nnd pens, and these buildings to tin
killing house. The pens In the houses
the outside yards, and the arrange
nient of the buildings should Im>
planned so that the ducks may he eas
ily driven from house to house as tie
sired. The feed rooin or house should
be centrally located.
Convenient watering arrangement*
nre essential where large numbers ot
ducks are kept, as they require a lurg#
amount of drinking water, say poultry
Specialists of the l ulled States I e
part men t of Agriculture. While ducki
may be kept suceessfully under verj
Intensive conditions, it Is advisable t<
ajlow considerable yard space. Double
yards, which may be rotated ami
planted to quick-growing crops, such
as oats, wheat and rye, are good for
intensive duck farms.
It Is advisable to have a pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, as they
usually give better fertility undei
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
a pond are not allowed 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.
CHEAP COOP FOR BACK YARD
Inexpensive House Will Prove En-
tlrely Satisfactory Where Small
Flock Is Kept.
It. Is not necessary to spend much
money for housing If you are going to
keep a small Hock of hens in your
bark yard. Indeed, It Is unwise, say
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
One or two piano cases or a large
packing box may often be made into
an acceptable home. Rut whatever
you build should he made dry and
free from drafts, and have good venti-
lation. The United States Department
of Agriculture has numerous bulletins
giving directions for this kind of con-
struction, and any of these are avail-
able for the asking, or for a very few
cents where a charge Is necessary. A
card to the division of publications,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C., will get you
what you need.
EGGS PRESERVED WITH LIME
Will Be Found Quite Satisfactory
Where Water Glass Is Dif-
ficult to Obtain.
If water glass Is not obtainable,
lime may be used for preserving eggs,
say specialists r*f the United States
Department of Agriculture. It is not
considered so good as water glass, as
In some Instances eggs preserved by
this method have tasted slightly of
lime, although at other times lime-
water has proved entirely sastifac-
tory.
To preserve with lime, dissolve two
pounds of unslaked lime In a small
quantity of water, and dilute with
five gallons of water that lias previ-
ously been boiled a fid cooled. Allow
'he mixture to stand until the lime
settles, then pour off and use the clear
. Iquld. Place clean, fresh eggs In a
-lean earthenware crock or Jar. and
pour the clpar llmewater Into the ves-
sel until the eggs are -covered. At
east two inches of the solution should
v rer the top layer of eges.

Oilton. April 15.—The high willis
of Monday ami Monday night were a
revelation to many old timers of what
our great State ol oklahoma Is able
to produce at a moment's notice
ometliing always new and startling
Karly Monday forenoon a strong wind
began blowing from the southwest
and If it l *t up for ever three minutes
at a time until Tuesday morning
, along about five o'clock there Is no J
record of it. and at no time did the 1
wind settle down to a gentle zephyr, !
but it was of the real strong. st4acl\ j
liigl. gale, blow clown kind. The wind
was not just confined to this immed
late locality, but seems to have been
general all over the state, especially
In the northern part of It. and much
damage is reported from various
points in tills part of the state.
Take it In this section where ther
are thousands of oil rigs, some of
them being several years old. and the
wind showed how strong It really was
be just lifting them off their pins and
laying th mi dt wn on the ground. It
Is estimated, conservatively, that
there were 0110 hundred and twenty-
five derricks blown clown in the Oil
ton fields. Tuesday the lumber yards
in this city were the busiest they had
been for a long time and it was hit*
tit night before the last teams were
loaded and turned out of the yarda.
This will mean quite a bit of rig
building as the rigs blown clown wero
i.H over producing wells and will
have to be rebuilt before the wells
can be put 011 the pump again. Taking
it all in all the old adage that its "an
ill wind that blows nobody any good"
is aptly shown here, for this will give
idh. rig builders something to do for
several weeks at least, to put these
rigs back into place.
