RB. KOHLER, Minnesota F.xpers iment Station.) The place for storing potatoes should have plenty of ventilation. Bins ought not to be more than eight feet square and should have slat with hollow partitions, Or there should be plenty of ventilating tubes with slat sides reaching from top to bottom of the bin. Where bins are as large as eight feet square a ventilat- ing tube in the middle of each sone would be desirable.

INDIGESTION BAD FOR DUCKS Good Mixture s Cornmeal and Fine Sand-—Always Furnish Ample Sup. ply of Fresh Water, (By MRS. W. HARVEY) A great many young ducks are killed by wrong feeding. 1 feed mine cornmeal and one part fine white sand, or fine gravel gifted. Stir the sand and gravel up with your meal and water and feed five times a day. Always give an ample supply of fresh water when you feed them, as ducks cannot eat without drinking at the same time. Take the water away when they are through eating. 1 tried this plan last year, and raised 44 out of 60, The year before 1 had 100 hatch but only raised 13. 1 also kept the little ducks shut up with the old chicken mother. They were a week old before 1 let them out. NT ——— Keep Cholera Away.
