better and produce stronger ducklings
as a result Of the exercise.
Keep the ducks penned until 9 O'Clock
else some of the eggs will not be found.
Very few lay after 8 o'clock until they
make nests for themselves later in the
season. 1t is not safe to set the first
dozen eggs each duck lays; they sell
dom hatch. But after that, IL the
ducks are vigorous, healthy birds, they
should hatch excellently well, better
than hens eggs, but not quite so well
as turkey eggs. has been our expert
ence with them. Secure good large
brakes, one to each FIVE ducks. Later
you may reduce the number to one
drake to seven ducks, but never less
than this if you wish to have eggs to
hatch.
Set the eggs as early as possible,
and as many eggs at n time as you
can, fof the ducklings grow so fast that
two or three days will cause a decld-
ed difference in the size OF the BIRDS
at marketing time. The market foc
young ducks in the last few years has
gone down with a rush, in a weeks
time falling from, 10 cents per pound TO
5 cents per pound, in '9S. To get good
pay for time, expense and bother, one
should market the ducks not later
than the first week in June, and as
much earlier than this as possible.
Don't keep your early and late ducks
entine until the late are of market size,
for by doing this you will, perhaps, not
have a cent of profit, but as soon as
your early flock, il not more than
twenty-five in number, is ready to sell,
market them without delay; then send
h next set as Don as ready. VI
course, 1T is more bother, time and ex-
pense accordingly to make so many
sales, but the not having all your ducks
early is your misfortune, and TO wait
until all are ready will make the mat
ter worse in two ways. The price will
go down and the ducks will not gain
SO fast, yet will eat just as much, fof
their feathers will grow into duck
Feathers, cease to be baby feathers.
AS they grow older they are more
easily frightened, and a fright lasts
them longer, thus not only causing a
stoppage in their W gains, but in
those younger as well, If their yards
adjoin. Keep the different aged duck
lings In separate pens so they may be
fed separately and differently, for when
almost ready to market they are best
finished off ON corn meal alone. Be
careful to gather the eggs before they
chill, do not wash them, and set them

Curious as it may appear to many
people, lit is, nevertheless, extremely
probable that the war in South Africa
may have the effect of giving an i'm
mense stimulus to mule breeding in
Great Britain. The truth is that the
military authorities have discovered
that the demand for really eligible
mules far exceeds the supply, and as it
is evident to the public that the prices
paid for such animals are remunera-
tive, it is pretty certain that the les
son will receive the attention it de-
serves. In this country the mule is
highly valued for heavy draught work.
When 1t lis also borne in mind that the
mule can exist well where a horse
would well-nigh starve, that he is the
most healthy of animals and a willing
worker, in spite of all the jokes which
are made or the score of the obstinacy
displayed by some mules, there can be
no gainsaying the fact that he is a
useful beast.

As to Ducks.

To the Farmers Review: The time
is at haRd when the ducks should be-
gin their steady laying. If they are
not giving you an average of two
thirds the number of eggs as you have
ducks, you had best coax them a little.
II impossible to furnish green cut bone
and fresh meat scraps for them, pro-
cure some Of the many excellent meat
meals that are on the market, and feed
according to directions given on the
package. Increase the amount of their
feed. Perhaps the better way to do
this is to give them an extra meal per
day. Give them ground feeu, made
bulky with the addition of clean clover
or fodder shatterings, and let corn
meal be the minimum Ingredient with
wheat bran the largest. Cabbage
scraps, chopped potatoes, beets or
turnips, all red raw, will be greatly rel
ished by the ducks. Keep powdered
charcoal and grit of some kind within
easy reach of them, and provide them
enough warm water b. drink. If one
has a good swimming hole for them it
is a good thing for the setting and
Matching time, as the eggs will hatch
