being the same. One lot of fifty ducks

Their confinement is a very easy job, single
board being all that is necessary. Their pen
should be changed at least once week, to give
the necessary supply of fresh grass, and keep the
flock clean, healthy and growing. 1t will not pay
to keep and feed after ten or eleven weeks Old
Until that time they should be driven as rapidly
possible, fed at least five times day. and given
just what they will eat and no more. Not NOR
sci should be left in the pen to sour for that will
surely work injury. To keep flock healthy and
growing, they should be given just what they will
eat up clean. Hatch early and then drive for the
market and profit will be realized. American Poul-

The next ten days gained thirty-two pounds, at
a cost of 50 cents. In seven weeks and three days
the twenty-seven gained 1929 pounds, at total
cost for feed of $432 being three cen6s and three
tenths per pound. Add the weight when eleven
days old-nine and One-half pounds-and we find
the total weight to be 142 pounds, or an average
of five and quarter pounds each. The largest
one weighed six pounds when eight weeks old. In

have killed them when nine weeks old. as shortly
after the pin feathers started and they did not
hold their fat. Killed at this time they would
have sold for at least SO cents each while they did
not cost over 20 to % cents each. My method OF
feeding was bread crumbs soaked in milk for the
first few days, then added little corn meal shorts
and cracked wheat. I very soon followed this
with beef scraps in a small quantity. Cracked
wheat cracked corn and oats formed the staple
food as they grew older. All the soft food was
wet with scalded milk or hot curd. do not think
there is anything so valuable for young ducks as

G.. A. GLoNER."
Believing that flock of ducks can be made
very profitable, we urge their merits upon our
readers who seek profit from their poultry. This
much is well established, that they must be con-
fined to be made profitable. and the young duck
lings need no more water than what they drink.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-06-12
Duck Raising.

Believing that there is to-day no branch of
poultry breeding that will pay better profit than
duck raising, we would urge this feature upon the
attention of our readers. In years past they have
been kept without special regard to profit, allowed
full range, and expected to get their whole Iiv-
ing from the fields and ponds. No one thought
it possible to keep a flock unless living by the
shore of some stream or pond. The last, more
than all else has checked this feature of poultry
breeding. To-day it is clearly proven that ducks
do not need pond or streem, but, in fact do bet
ter grow faster and fatten quicker if kept entirely
away from water. Under proper management
they are proving themselves wonderful layers, and
very rapid growers. Remarkable stories are told
of their prolificnese, which, after making all due
allowance for exaggeration, gives them place
among the very best breeds as egg producers. OF
all the breeds the Pekin seems to take the lead,
though this is doubtless due to the fact that they
are more extensively bred rather than to any su-
periority over other varieties. To succeed with
ducks they must be confined. In no other way
can their eggs be secured for Matching as they
apt to drop them wherever they may be. 1t will
be of no use to expect profit unless proper care
and attention be given them. Success comes in
no other way. This is the hard lesson to learn,
and men go year after year in the same ruts,
finding nothing but failures, and charging that
upon the newspapers when they are entirely in the
wrong. The following intelligent statement. from
one of our valued correspondents, is worthy a
careful study:

30 eggs. When eleven days old they would not go
under the hen but would sit around the coop each
by itself. They then weighed nine and onehalf
pounds. The next week they gained just nine and

This made them eighteen days old.

Ducks in Florida.

Duck Culture from time to time, and from
our own experience we have not talked
to strong on that point. Here is our ex-
perience with three Pekin ducks In five
months and six days they have laid 373
eggs. Twelve duck eggs are equal in
weight to seventeen hen eggs, or 373 duck
eggs are equal to 528 hen eggs, or forty
four dozen at 25 cents land our average
price has been % cents) will sell for $11.
If it cost $1 per year to keep hen we
will allow $150 for each duck, or 80 for
three ducks for five months. This de-
Quoted from $11 leaves us SO as profit,
or $3 each if we were TO sell our stock
now, and they are worth more than they
were when they commenced to lay. But
a duck will lay nine months out of twelve
in Florida. But these are not all the ad-
vantages in raising ducks Eggs hatch
better, they are free from vermin of all
kinds Eye slothful take notice., and with
the same care you give chicks, you can
raise 95 percent. of those Matched "a great
consideration to new beginners). At nine
weeks old, if pushed, they will dress from
eight to ten pounds per pair; in thirteen
weeks from the time You start your
hatch you can scoop in the cash. No
commission men to divide with, for a
ready market is at your door. 1t may
need little coaxing, but when once the
people get the taste of roasted Pekin
duck the demand will more than equal
the supply.
Duck yards can be enclosed by a two
foot fence, and stakes can be used to sup
port it instead of posts. You can figure
the first cost of fencing at less than one
half what it will cost to enclose an equal
space for hens. [ use two foot wire and
make it up into panels twelve feet long,
SO that it is easily moved. / use the same
house for ducks do for other fowls, only
making it lower. One foot from the
ground is high enough. Keep the floor
well covered with leaf mould. and there
will be no trouble with rheumat tisn,
which affects ducks if allowed to roost in
damp quarters. This is their worst enc
my. They are large eaters of coarse food,
and when laying they must have animal
food of some kind everv day. When not
laying, one meal day OF grain is sutti-
cient, but give them all the green stuff
they will eat and don't neglect the
ground bone and shell, for that is thefrst
thing they go for on leaving the pen in
the morning.
The Pekin duck, as it came to us from
it's native land, was much smaller than
other varieties, but by careful breeding,
always selecting the most perfect in form,
we have a model in the Pekin, providing
YOU do not stunt them in the broOder
house. If you do, they will always be
small have ducklings three months old
that are considerably larger and health
ier than their parents.
The Pekin is the only duck that will do
well without water, except for drinking
purposes. Other varieties are lost with
out access to stream or pond, and this
is not always convenient when you are
raising large numbers.
