The erosion is particularly serious on the western coast of the island where it has been facilitated by the bursting of numerous mines thrown up by the tides. It is expected that the island will soon be nothing more than a name In history. The former German naval fortress of Helgoland at its largest was only one-fifth of a square mile in area. °The great forts have been destroyed %y dynamite. GROWING "GREEN DUCKS" Ducklings should remain in the in- cubator about thirty-six hours after litatching to allow them to harden off, and, then be :removed te, the brooder and' fed. The temperattire Of the brooder should be about 95O degrees F fer the first week and then grad Willy lowered. For the _first feed use read crumbs moistened with water. Squeeze the water out of the bread, Inouider it up fine, and feed• it on a flat board. Sprinkle fine sand and chick size oyster shell over the bread before feeding. This serves as grit for the baby ducklings. Provide fresh -Neater at - each feeding in a self -feed - 1111g fountain.- Feed the ducklings four times daily for the first few Hays. Care should' be taken not to over -feed for the first three or four days, but there is little danger from eoyerfeeding after that time. About the fourth day start feeding fame mash mixed with the bread Crumbs and gradually eliminate the bread during the next few days. The mash should consist of equal parts bran, middlings, and cornmeal to -which has been added about five per scent beef scraps and five per cent. ground charcoail. Feed the birds five times daily from the fourth day. Af- ter the first week green feed should Ile added. Finely chopped clover realms excellent green food, but any -finely chopped green forage eould.be• -wed. About the eighteenth day the green food should make up about one third of the entire ration- Experi- mental work at Ottawa would indi- cate that a large amount of green food ist not necessary for -the growing sof ntlarket ducks. We believe, how - ewer, that when market ducks, a lib- eral supply of green food in the growing ration is essential. When the ducklings are three weeks Old the amount of beef scraps. should !De increased to ten per cent. Fine sand abwtld alwa s •be:sprinlaled over the .mash befoxe. feeding, _ Never make the ':h,• sticky or sloppy, but just moist enough to held together nice - Continue to feed the birds in this way until they are six weeks old. About this time the eornzneal,,iit the, ration should be gradually increas'ed:. until it makes up half of the ration. Fattening should commence shout the sixth week and •the birds should be ready for market at - about nine to - ten weeks of age. "When fattening commences the amount of green feed feed should be gradually reduced. Make sure that clean drinking wa- ter is regularly supplied and that the ducklings are supplied with ample shade if the weather is extremely hot. "Green ducks" should be dressed for market just as soon as theyhave completed their forst coat of feath- ers. Let every man think for himself. Let him call a conference of his pow- ers, his common sense in the chair, his desires and his knowledge of things as they are pleading thecase before him. Let every man be his own judge.-iHenry Ford. RUSSIA'S IDEA OF PROHIBITION The Bolsheviks are extremists in most things, writes Louis Fischer from Moscow. But their prohibition law is mild. Wines and beers were never under the ban and recently whiskies con- taining as high as 30 per cent. alcohol were sanctioned by the authorities. To be sure, the peasants still clamor for the vodka of Czarist days, the firewater which officially rose to 46 and unofficially to 90 per cent. spirit. And since the gtovernment still re- mains deaf to this demand they make it themselves. They manu£actuse a crude, kerosene -like beverage called "samogon," which translated into English means nothing more and no- bhing, less than; "home brew." Approximately 25 per cent. of all the personssummoned to the courts of Soviet Russia are charged either with producing, selling or drinking "samogon." Half of these are wo- hnen. It is a widespread evil and the state is well nigh powerless to eradi- cate it. Every month thousands of persons are arrested for breaking the prohibition • law: and hundreds are in, carcerated _ fora periods ranging from three years to. a few weeks, but the spirit goes.marebing on, especially in the villages. In the titles "samogon" is Iess com- mon. Town dwellers can afford the more expensive wines and beers. Beer is the popular drink of the working- men and the number of beer saloons, or "pivnayas," from the word "pivo," meaning beer, in Moscow, is quite considerable. The first impression one receives on entering a local beer place is that of a meeting house. The long room on a Ievel,with the street pavement has neither mirrors nor counter. its walls are covered with brightly col- ored posters. Here hangs a placard which flashes the slogan "Don't Swear," It shows a worker coming home intoxicated and showering his wife, who huddles in a corner to pro- tect the children, with the many un- repeatable curses of which the Rus- sians are particularly fond. On the opposite wall is an anti - bootlegging broadsheet bearing loud letters to the effect that "samogon- ka is a poison which undermines the strength of the working class." Fin- ally, there is a notice on the wall which informs the public that cus- tomers in an inebriated condition will not be served. There are four of us visiting this sanctum. We sit at a little table covered with a colmiarble slab. The t�F LVE IT T _ !NARIp•.

He is tall; his tight white apron is pulled to show his figure to advantage; he wears a blouse of black linen which hangs over his trousers. A twisted cord holds it close to his waist, while a line of little mother of pearl but- tons closes the slit that runs from the neck down to the region of the heart.

Neither knife nor fork nor spoon. The company eats with its fingers. At the table to our left sits a Rus- sian workingman. He seems to take s visit to the pivaya very seriously. i face is set, his legs crossed. He wears leather boots up to his knees into which hie trousers are forced. A black blouse and a leather visored cap complete the characteristically porletarian costume. Without mak- ing a single unnecessary movement his hand keeps describing an arc from his mouth to the little glass saucer and back. He is eating the peas as Arabs eat fresh dates., He seizes the globular vegetable with his middle finger and thumb and pushes against the rear section of the pea so that it shoots swiftly down the gullett, leaving in his fingers the spherical translucent skins, which when piled helter skelter on the plate look like so many pearly soap bubbles. After the peas he will attack the fish and knew at the bread, and keep the beer for last, so that he can go home with its taste in hie mouth. Most of the patrons are workers. Most of thein are alone.

If Cardiff did not rise in a single night, like a palace of, the "Arabian Nnghts," her growth and deveslope- ment have been scarcely less surpris- ing, writes Herbert Vivian. There seems no bounds to her en- ergy and enterprise, which go far to justify her ambition to be recog- nized as the capital of Wales. When we contemplateher vast ex- panse of rails, chimneys, factories, and warehouses, her seven miles of quays and 165 acres of docks, and the activities of her 2.30,000 toilers, it seems scarcely creditable that in 1801 this vast hive of industry was little more than a village, with a population of 1,870. And it is still more sur- prising that she should have waited so long to begin her feverish career. With her ideal situation at the mouth of three rivers—of which the Taff has bestowed an affectionate nickname on the inhabitants of Wales —with all the vast riches waiting to be picked up at her doors, she might have aspired centuries ago to become the capital not merely of Wales, hut of Britain. Iii 1710 Cardiff had only a flelt of eleven vessels, with a total carrying powereof 218 tons. The cargoes con- sisted mainly of coal, which, strange- ly enough, was at that tithe being imported into Cardiff. But to -day South Wales teems with mines, and Cardiff is its natural port. She can boast a larger export tonnage than aty other place in the .world. And though the tea' edi s'' And eon! are synonymous all over the globe, about a quarter of her tonnage is employed in general merchandise. She holds first place as a potatoe-importing centre, dealing with about 60,000 tons every year; while a whole street in the city is occupied by fruit and veg- etable factors. She can also boast that she is the third largest milling centre in the country, though the first mill was not erected until 1852. And yet, for all her hustling docks with cold storage sheds, transit sheds, fifty-nine massive cranes, and innum- erable floating grain elevators, Card- iff is a garden city. She is full of surprises and rural delights, fresh and exhilarating as any climatic re- sort. We may spend a lifetime there without suspecting coal dust in the air, without catching sight of a single lump of the twenty million tons of coal she exports every year. The rise of the city has been so rapid that she has naturally out- grown herself many times. But the Cardiff of to -day can compare favor- ably with any other city in Britain. Her business is carried on in hand- some, arcaded thoroughfares, lined t.. with good shops. Slums and over- crowding are unknown. Most of the municipal buildings are situated in Cathays Park, which was purchased from Lord Bute in 1898. Here we may see the City Hall, the Law Courts, the National Museum, the University Registry, the Glamorgan County Hall, the Technical College, the University of South Wales and Monmouthshire. These form a group of public buildings not to be surpass- ed anywhere in the country. The municipal government of this garden city proceeds without a hitch. Up-to-date sanitation and sewerage combined with pure air and water are responsible for one of the lowest death rates and highest birth rates in the kingdom. The telephone ser- vice is the second best in Britain, while supplies of electricity are cheap and abundant. As recently as 1840 the postal service was conducted by one woman, who superintended one delivery of letters every twenty-four hours. To -day it is housed in a building which cost $500,000 and em- ploys 1,500 officials. Yet with all her advantages Cardiff's rates remain surprisingly low. Cardiff owes much of her prosper- ity to one family—that of the Mar- quess of Bute. It is not suggested that Cardiff would not have thrived without patronage. It sufficies to steal a glimpse of her clever and dili- gent people to realize that they are capanie of overcoming most oostacies. But itis certain that Cardiff owes much to the family which restored the Castle, built the first dock at their own expense, bequeathed -parks and almost all the other joys and conven- iences of the city. The city is almost like one of those old feudal domains on the Danube, Rhine and Loire. Cardiff Castle, the palaces of Ro- man Governors and Welsh princes. the prison where Henry '1 , confined his elder brother Robert, Dolce of Normandy, for thirty years, bad been utterly destroyed wi a toliog by Owen Glendower in 1404. But the second Marquess of Bute, successor to those feudal lords, the Gloucesters, the Despeneers, and the Warwicks, restored both town and castle and the castle resumed its old appearance of strength and antiquity, becoming the private palace of his family, with banqueting hall, chapel, library, stained-glass windows, and historical frescoes. He bequeathed the greater part of Cardiff to his descendants, and the family stall watches over the fortunes of the city he made. Roach Park, with its smilinglake, Botanic Gar- dens, Pleasure Garden, and Wild Garden, was mainly contributed by the Marquess of Bute in 1887; and Sophia Gardens were named after a Marchioness of Bute. With all her wonderful advantages of position, compactness, convenienc- es, and able administration. Cardiff seems justified in her boundless am- bitions.
