Feeding and Indigestion.

Editor Poultry Department:
My ducks have weak legs also gapes. Should
small ducks have water to swim in? Should
they keep dry at night? II Ow would pine straw
do for them to roost on? Pleasesta cause and
remedies through AGRICULTURIsT or by letter.
J. VIEWER.
Saint Leo, PascO Co.. Fla.
In answer to the above, weak legs are
caused by either being too fat or rheu-
matism. If fed too high their bodies
will grow too heavy for their legs to
carry them this will not occur if the
food is bulky and not too concentrated.
Give no water for bathing purposes
until they are we'll fedged, keep water
for them to drink in condensed milk cans
cut down on one side, do this until ten
days or two weeks old, then if they are
given water whenever fed, it will be suf-
ficient, they will sometimes gorge them
selves with water in warm weather.
Give them plenty of litter to roost on to
keep them off the ground. Ducks have
two ailments to guard against, rheuma-
tism caused by a low, wet, marshy run,
and damp quarters.
Indigestion is caused by too much
feed, and too little grits. In mixing feed
for ducklings, up to two weeks old let
the food be so that you can squeeze water
out of it with your hand. After putting
it in the trough | sprinkle it with clean,
coarse sand at least twice a day and keep
broken shell, crockery or some good ma
terial for mastcating their food always
by them.
From McFetridges new book on poul-
try we extract the following:
How To Fed YOUNG DUCKs-First week, one
pint meal, one pint bran and one pint Of
shorts or mddngs, scald with hot water and
stir well. When the hot water is being added,
add a raw egg occasionally.
Second week, one and one-half pints meal, ,
one-half pint shorts, one and one-haf pint
bran, one-eighth pint animal meal and One-haf
pint green stuff-cut cabbage lettuce or onions
Third week. two pints corn meal, One-half pint
bran, one-sixth pint animal meal and one pint
grass. Each week add a larger proportion of
corn meal and animal meal and reduce the amount
OF bran, but these directions used for fatten-
ing ducklings for the market. For stock pur-
poses | would advise less corn meal. New wheat
bran and green food and plenty OF animal food
Our correspondent mentioned gapeS.
We never saw or heard Of gapes in duck
lings and we are quite sure it was not
caused by the cape worm, but by some
thing sticking in their Threats. Ducks
require careful feeding and are not sub
iect to any Of the ailments that little
chickens are. Some say they are not
profitable. 1t does not cost any more to
raise duck to maturity than a hen if
you know how to feed and have the mate
rial to feed economically that is, they are
large eaters Of coarse food, boiled cabbage,
turnip tops steamed clover hay and can
do very we'll on this and no grain, only
during the laying season.
Never feed whole grain to either old
or young ducks, it is not their natural
food and it will bring on indigestion
sooner or later. Sore eyes and gummy
substance in and around the eyes is an
Indication Of indigestion and is caused
by over feeding and lack of grit. To pick

IF you remember, two years ago this

FROM this analysis we see that linseed
meal is valuable food, and now is the
time OF the year poultry keepers should
keep it on hand; for the fowls will be
mOultlng soon, and tablespoonful to
each one-haf dozen hens, two or three
times week is excellent 1t should be
mixed with soft food. 1t is laxative and
cotton seed meal the opposite; both are
good if fed in small quantities to fowls
OF any age, from four weeks up. The
manufacturers and agents usually rec
Ommend too much for the health of the
1oWlS, and they do more harm than good
IN trying to push sales this way. If
fowls are not used to it and fed in GUAM
tlty as recommended it will affect the
bowels of fowls of every age and unless a
check is made at once your hens will
stop laying short; for such securing will
weaken them. If you feed linseed meal,
let it be in very small quantity to start
with.

Some years ago the Second regiment
of life-guards was quartered in the
cavalry barracks, Windsor, and an or
der was given for the destruction OF
all dogs in the barracks. On the
morning OF the day on which the ca
nine friends of the troops were to be
destroyed, the queen made an inspec-
ton of the Windsor garrison, and
while passing through the quarters Of
the Second life-guards, accompanied
by the colonel of the regiment, was
much attracted by the appearance OF a
small but very pretty terrier dog
named Dick, belonging to Corporal
Woodhouse, one of the bandsmen.
The queen paused, caressed the little
dog, and spoke to it. This saved its
life, for the. colonel gave orders that
Dick should be allowed to live, while
the rest of the dogs were killed in ac.
cordance with the edict that had gone
forth. Dick for many years after was
the favorite Of the regiment, and was
honored with collar decorated with
the regimental buttons, on the plate
of which were some lines narratine
how the animals life was saved.

A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM.

That of Decorating the Graves OF the
Blue and tho Gray.
A few years ago this notice in a
southern paper touched the hearts of
the loyal people all over the north:
''The women of Columbus, Miss, ami
mated by noble sentiments, have
shown themselves impartial in their Of
ferings made to the memory of the
dead. They strewed flowers alike on
the graves of the confederate and ma
tional dead"
This beautiful custom Of decorating
the graves of our dead heroes, of set
ting apart day in the most joyful sea-
son of the year for the purpose of pay
ing them just tribute, has had, says
the Christian at Work, happy effect
in healing the gaping wound which the
war left between the north and south.
Over the graves of our slain we have
mingled our tears with our flowers, and
over their graves have our united
prayers assembled to the common Father
who smiles alike on His dear children
north and south.
From the silence OF sorrowful homes
The desolatc mourners go
Lovingly laden with flowers,
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod ana the dow.
Wait ng the judgmt mt day
Under the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray.
"No moro shall the war cry sever,
Or The windiEg river be red:
They Danish our anger forever
| When they laurel the graves OF our dead:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day
Love and tears FOR tie Blue.
Tears and love tor Tie Gray"

when the mighty earth is aroused by

In olden times the conqueror led his

loaded him with chains and set him at
work to grind the wheat which was
never to pass his lips, or TO weave the

What the Heroes of 1s61-65 Have Done
for The Nation.
AS we strcw the flowers over the rest
ing places of departed heroes, we have
the consciousness that there is no north
nor south, no east nor west. We have
learned the greatest lesson of the war
that the sacrifices made by the blue and
the gray were necessary to maintain
the doctrine of national unity. Cement
ed by the best blood of both sections
the peace which followed the collapse
of the southern cause will never again
be disturbed.
We who enjoy the blessed fruits OF
the great conflict can show our CRATE
fulness to the heroes of 1861-65 in many
ways. We can honor the living and re-
member the dead. But, to do full JUS
tice, we must never cease to impress
upon our children and those who come
to MS from foreign lands that to be
worthy of citizenship they must cult
