Right Breed to Cross with Pekin:

Right Breed to Cross with Pekin>
Not Yet Discovered.
In raising 10000 to $4,000 ducks it is
most suitable stock. writes S. \. Cush-
man to the Plowman. \ cut of one
or two cents per pound from the high
est market rates will make great dii-
ference in the receipts. The quality
must be the best. The quicker they
grow the shorter the time they must
be kept. The earlier they are put Oh
the market the higher the price. There
is more profit in one early bird sold at
SIS cents per pound than several late
ones at IS to Is cents. Pure white feath-
ers bring the most. James Rankin has
tried all breeds of ducks and finds all
have their outs. Aylesbury ducks have
white feathers, but they and their
crosses are longer in maturing and
harder to pick. Pekins he found ma
tured earlier by ten days or fort
night. Rouens are not only longer in
maturing, but are tender and delicate.
Cayugas are fine. plump birds and lay
as well, eggs hatch as we'll and duck
lings mature as early as the Pekins,
but they are smaller, have black plum
age and the dark pinfeathers hurt
their appearance. Crosses between the
two were fine and plump, took on fat
as readily and ma:ured as early as the
Pekins, but they came notified in
plumage. had dark skin in patches and
dark pinfeathers, so brought less.
Their features also sell for much less.
\ cross between Cayugas and Rouens
gave all the good qualities of the for
mer and are larger than the latter and
make a better table bird, but do not
equal Pekins. Evidently the right
breed to cross with Pekins does not
exist or has not been found-that is,
with the present requirements of the
market.

HOW TO TIE A STRAP.

The illustra ton shows both the right
and the wrong way of tying either
leather straps or ropes. Fig. is some

through the bow or loop (c). and draw
the loop by pulling at strap (d) until it
hugs the end (b). When doing this, the

be prevented by holding it with thumb

SOME TIMELY HINTS
Make Early Preparations for the
Spring Chicken Crop.

Make Early Preparations for the
Spring Chicken Crop.
1t Ia not too soon to begin to think
about the chicken crop of the coming
year. 1t is we'll to have plans perfected
for getting the chicks started as early
as possible.
1t is good rule to set hens as soon as
they are ready to take on the care of 4
brood, and if there are some pretty old
hens on the place that have been kept
in good condition. they will begin to
think about sitting soon after the days
begin to get warm.
Have a warm and snug place in which
to make the nest for the early sitter, and
when she gets broody allow her to sit a
few days in the place of her choosing,
and then move her some evening to the
place you have prepared and she will
take kindly to the change as the eggs
attract her to the new homo.
When the chicks come off do not al
low them to be taken out of doors, but
keep them in some warm place where
they will have light and sunshine if pos
sible, and feed them all they can posi-
them quiet and cause them to spend
most of their time under the hen, if they
are at all cold. and they will grow won
derfully.
Getting chickens out early gives
spring chickens early in the season and
there is no meat food that is more
healthfnl and delicious.
The farmer who does not have spring
chickens early is missing delicacy that
the dweller in the city pays high
price for. while the farmer gets it at the
cost of ordinary poultry.
Early Matched pullets are the ones
that lay early in the fall when the older
members of the flock are moulting and
eggs bring a good price.
Don't forget the spring chickens nor
fail to prepare to get them out carly
