Poultry,
Raising Ducks

Farmers generally neglect the
breeding of Ducks, from an idea that
they ''eat their heads off, There is
no farm poultry, if well managed,
more profitable. 1t has been proved
by actual trial that ducks often lay
more eggs than hens. Their eggs.
besides being much larger, and more
valuable, also contain less waste.
Ducks, it marketed at the right seal
son, always bring good prices. They
can be raised very easily. The eggs
can be set under hens, and rs many
as forty or fifty young ducklings can
be mothered by one hen. They re-
quire much the same food as fowls.
and if intended for the market should
be literally fed. In Aylesbury, Eng
land. where thousands of ducks are
| marketed every week, it is estimated
that the cost Of producing couple of
ducklings Of nearly four pounds
weight at eight weeks old, is two
shillings couple. One great point
in their favor is that they are re-
markably exempt from the ravages Of
fatal diseases that so often depop'.>
late a barn yard of fowls. Ducks
will almost earn their living by the
vast quantities of grubs and insects
they destroy. Two or three ducks
can be given to one drake.
The Pekin Duck, although only in
troduced from China in 1873, has al
ready acquired great fame. They
are by far the largest ducks in appear
ance, but like all Asiatic fowls, are
not so large us they look: having a
loose, fluffy plumage. Although
sometimes equal in weight by the
Rouens, yet. as 4 rule, we believe
they are the heaviest. They mature
very early, and are excellent layers.
Pekins can be raised successfully
with only sufficient water for drink.
ing; they can he confined by Il very
low fence, and are very domestic.
There is one drawback to them. 1t
is found that some males fail to i'm
pregnate the eggs. This, we have
reason to think, is owing to their
broad, clumsy bodies. They are clad
in beautiful coat of creamy white
ness, with yellow bills and orange
legs. a single duck has been known
to lay 200 eggs in one season. For
breeding for sale. us a fancy fowl,
Pekin Ducks are undoubtedly in great
demand, and at the most satisfactory
prices. For the first year or two the
ducks sold for 500 per pair. and eggs
$fl0 per dozen, and were eagerly
sought at these figures. But now.
from the increase of the stock, th;y
can be had at half these prices.

Everything is lovely in Aldrlch, and
preparations are being made for a
Christmas tree, on Christmas eve, in
J. Gillespie's hall.
Our citizens are waiting anxiously
for the roilroad company to let those
wood and tie contracts. Would it not
be as convenient for the company to
let contracts about Nov. lst, each year,
as to wait until the middle or last of
December? It would be much better
for the contractors, and they would
stand better show of getting their
contracts filled.
J. BIGGEST, of this place, who has
been in Minneapolis for some time,
returned home last Thursday. He re-
ports having had a good time while
away.
J. w. Rivett met with a painful ac-
cident, on Wednesday last. while cut
ting wood. 4 small limb struck him

he can save the eye.

This kind of weather has Il kind of
softcning influence on the roads, our

Hard money men claim that no
legislative enactment can make paper
into money, but we have known legis-
tion to do harder things then that.
Our State government, for instance,
passed an act that converts venison
into mutton the 18th of this month,
at least "they say so," the folks-not
the government.
G.. D. Baker has taken a contract to
get out wood and ties in this vicinity,
and is already into the business in
earnest. Prices are lower than last
year, in fact, too low, but many are
obliged to work at something in win
ter to keep the wolf from the door.
The best remedy for this state OF
things is to get the land under culti-
vation, make it earn Il living for you
soon as possible. Many around here
are doing this, and we hope I'LL will
make this their aim.
The workmen are taking advantage
of the mild spell to shing!e the depot.

they mean business the moment they

do it cheerfully. FACT.
Hauling ties and cord wood seems
to be the order of the day at present.
People living in the timber have their
harvest a]l the year, and those living
on the prairie have their harvest in
the months Of August and September.
Timber gives employment and pays
for clearing the land, and am OF the
opinion that the land is better than
the prairie, although it takes more
labor to get 1t under Il St;1Ce Oh cult''
