speaking of the election laws mr landis said the republican party was more than anxious to see honest elections in many instances he had known wheie democrats had joined hands with the republican party for honesty at the polls he regretted that the democratic party had never incor porated a plank for clean and honest elections in their platform mr lan disjfurther said that if there was anv trouble with the election laws today it lies in the inforcement and the reason so much was being said by the demo crats on that issue was simply to throw dust in the eyes of the people for it was not true as the republican party was more safe to entrust with that im portant subject than any other he re cited statistics to show that banking in stitutions were more prosperous now than they had ever been for instance the increase in all financial institutions over that of six years ago was 25,000,000 mr landis said that the united states treasury was tbe biggest gold mine in the world today there

hucnessful form of busi ness enterprise am has even been tried with more or less success by the farmere of this section where much of the innd has passed into the hands of wealthy l'hiladelphiana several years ago dr h a denckla purchased the old ira ham ilace along the sumneytown turn pike and then inter acquired the former singerly sheep farm across the pike the line of the trolley rims directly by the place and ninny passengers have veiwed with interest the vast numbers of ducks which may be seen from the car windows shortly after acquiring ibis property dr denckla secured joseph clark to take charge of the poultry end nf the farm an 1 this specialty has been follow ed ever since the former sheep pens have been transformed into duck houses until now there are not ducks ranging in njje from one to 11 weeks old besides numbers of chickens and pigeons under mr clark's personal e.are and attention and the unique feature gives promise of bpi">ming a paying paitof the farm ing business a representative of the gazette re cently called on jmr clark and wbb courteously shown about the interesting place mr clark was busy among the older ducks of the former graham place a cominodionn ilnck house has been built together with a run and a large dam was constructed last winter 300 breeding ducks are located here the dogs and rats last winter killed 0 fowls and spoiled fully 500 eggs else tne returns tnis season would have been much larger the brazilian ducks are the leading species raised here they a*e very little trouble and have the faculty of setting themselves on from 12 to 30 eggs they wilf hatch out two broods per season which labts from march 1 to 8ept 1 one old mother was so solicit ious that from 28 eggs she hatched out 2(i ducklings the nest is made of straw and lined generously with down which the mother plucks from her breast while setting sha spreads out her wings and with the warm down feathers is able to cover fully 30 eges sometimes three or four mothers will use one nest during the season next year mr clark expects to raise many of the ivkin variety which can be hatched earlier in the season bv the use of incubators and which can be sold for 30 cents per pound whereas by the time the brazilian ducks are hatched id ready to market the price has drop 20 cents or thereabout a drake — - e will form the nucleus of the pek in tribe for already this season 1300 young ducks have been sold john y radcuffe of tbe reading terminal market takes the wnole output and could handle 10,000 ducks thev ore sent down by express the ducks on wednesdays which is killing day are selected win great care stuck with a knife hit on the head and picked immediately often the duck is entirely picked while it is dying mr clark claims this practice has much to commend it from the snperior market able condition of the fowl there are 13 pens of clucks on the former bingeily eheep farm and the fowls all look healthy and in good con dition next season there will be an other building erected on the graham property for the pekin ducks the run for this building will extend right down into the water and allow the fowls plenty of exercise and clean frssh water at all times if this plan i successful it is designed to dig a trench and hare running water through the other pens the former ice house on the pmgerly farm has been altered to a building 14x 10 feet square and 6 feet deep with cemented floor and sides for the accom modation of the incubators of which there will be five a portion of the old sheep pena will be turned into a chick en house and the plymouth rock va riety will be raised they are the best for the ir.arket the roost will accom modate 50 to 100 chickens it will be lined with felt paper and canvab and will be warm all winter about 200 hens will be kept over mr clark finds it is not the best thing to crowd hens together they should have soft feed in the morning and hard at night and in winter it is best to warm their drink ing water pigeons did rather poorly the past season owing chiefly to a somewhat inferior stock rather than to lack of at tention mr clark is very anxious to make a change in the stock as he can secure a better price for the squabs mr clark says it is doubtful if he can accomplish all the improvements that are planned but lie expects to make even a better showing in another year
