Points on Incubation.


In Florida and the Southern States in
general, the natural mode OF incubation
prevails, and the artificial incubator is
but little known. There is something to
be said, pro and con, the subject. Some
of our largest poultry men do not believe
in incubators and do not use them. Uncle
Isaac Felch says a fowl will never reach
perfection unless Matched in the natural
way, but he has had to take back seat
since he made that assertion, for he
found too many ready to pick him up
and prove to the contrary. Mr.. A. G..
Hawkins, the great Wyandott and Plym-
outh Rock breeder, uses hens exclusively.
He says, in a lecture before farmers,
gathering in Boston, ''If subjecting the
eggs during three weeks of most delicate
existence to surroundings that are unnat-
ural and conditions that no one knows
are correct, then claim that the future
development of that chick is affected in
both size, color and plumage."
Mr.. Hawkins raises from 1000 to 5000
annually. He also claims that he can
hatch his chickens cheaper with hens. One
man will attend 200 hens, covering $500
eggs, in one hours time daily, and an
other claim he makes that would not
apply to Florida: He says mfthR spring
eggs are cheap, he sets his hens at this
time and he gets more eggs later in the
summer, when they are worth 10 cents
per dozen in advance OF spring prices.
Our best prices are. during the tourists
season, from JANUARY to May, and these
are the months we should do our hatch
ing in Florida. Mr.. Hawkins says he has
never used incubators, SO that what he
knows about them is from others and
there are successful operators ;of incuba-
tors as well as those who do not sue
coed. Take the majority OF machines
and the way they are handled, will ad-
nit that the hen will bring out the larg-
est number ofchicks from given num-
Der OF eggs.
TO set Mr.. Hawkins 200 hens will re-
quire a building Or shed 12x1OO feet.
They will consume at least half bushel
OF grain per day, or eleven bushels for the
twenty one days. He loses the use OF the
200 hens for at least thirty days; and il
they averaged ten eggs each, there would
be loss OF 1900 eggs, or 166 dozen at
20 cents or $3.50.
From my experience with hens should
say he would do well if he found $50 out
of 200 that would keep their nest and do
their duty we'll for the three weeks; and
he would find some broken eggs and
would have tosubstitute other hens for
the twenty and fresh eggs for the most OF
them. Then, when the chicks were hatch
ing he woudfnd several killed by the old
hens, if his experience is like Others who
use hens to hatch. So it's not all clear
sailing by the natural method.

How to Feed and Care for Young
Ducklings.


After they are twenty-five hours old give
them cracker crumbs orstale bread wet in
milk, or, what is better, clover tea
sqeeze dry, feed every two hours for two
days. Give them water to drink as soon
as you feed, but place it SO they will not
get wet. A duckling must be kept dry
until relieved of it's downy coat. They
need warmth the first week more than
chick. After that they are much more
hardy.
After the second day feed mashed pota-
toes, either sweet or Irish, thickened with
ground grain, middlings or wheat bran.
Mix either with potatoes when hot, SO
that the grain is cooked by the process.
or you will have bowel trouble. Especial
ly is this the case with wheat bran. Tt
should always be scalded before being fed
to the chicks or ducks.
When four or five days old give some
animal food once a day. Scald all
food for first two weeks. Aftera week old
give some green food chopped fine, once
daily mot butlittle at first and gradually
increase it, After ten days or two weeks
ducks are very hardy and will pull.
through unless some accident happens to .
them, but keep them dry until they have;
become aedged. After duck is alfgrown!
you can give them dry grain occasionally
for a change-but, unlike chicken, they
have no crop, the food passes through
theduct to thegizzard, which is very small
for the size of the bird.
give the young ducks water in a con-
densed milk can, the side cut away to
one and one-half inches of the bottom
This is so small they can't get into it,
and they will drink without getting wet.
Fresh, clean drinking water is as essential
as food to the health, and must be
changed often and the vessel must be deep
enough so they can get their beak in the
water below the nostlils to- wash them
out. Always see that the ducks have wa
ter before them when you feed, without it
they sometimes choke in feeding.
| Ducks are subject to but few diseases.
Cramps occur from cold water leg weak
ness from damp quarters at night. Apo
pIexy attacks grown ducks when over fat,
| also vertigo.
| am still of the opinion there is no
more profit table fowl for Florida than
ducks. Every grown duck that | raised
and kept until May 2 netted me s. each,
for had sale for every egg for Matching
purposes during the whole season, and /
