-MASAGEMEST OF DUCKs-There
are four kinds OF domestic ducks that
claim our attention, viz, Aylesbury,
Rouen, Cayuga, and Pekin; each hav-
ing its admirers. do not propose to
discuss their comparative merits here,
but will simply state that, Tor coed
reasons, 1 prefer them il the order
named. | have omitted Muscoyys, be-
cause | have little to say about them.
Their uglisess and destructiyeness is
beyond endurance, and advise all who
are unacquainted with them. never TO
seek an introduction.
1t is mistaken idea that pond or
stream is absolutely necessary to sue
cess il raising ducks for, although it is
beneficial, it is not necessity. Those
who have fondness for ducks can sue
coed with them without a bountiful
supply of water; yet they will not
thrive in confinement. Ii one has only
a small yard he should not keep more
than pair or trio; but a dozen or
more can be kept with profit if they
have the range OF a pasture or meadow.
Ducks are great forsgers, and should
have good range. Itis not enough to
give them a pen extending into pond
or stream. They should be free 10
roam over fields, where they may be
seen at early dawn seeking worms and
insects, their favorite diet. When this
can be allowed them, they should new
er be fed in the morning. Feed only
once day, at night then they will be
sure to return for their evening meal.

their eggs which are deposited at about

With a rich voice. swelling like the sea

cry farmer should determine BIZ the
