"Acres of ducks" seems like exagger-
alton, but it is not, provided you will
go to the right place to see them. Any
person who will visit the Atlantic
duck and broiler farm, Speonk, N.
Y, A. ]. Hallock, proprietor, going
there between May 1 and Sept. l, will
see thousands and thousands of ducks,
actually covering acres of ground.
They are Pekins, therefore snow white,
and they make a novel and striking
sight. The writer has visited this ia
nous duck farm a number of times
and seen there at one time as many as
10000 ducks.
The Atlantic duck farm is probably
the oldest one in this country. 1t was
established way back in 1853 by the
father of the present owner. The past
season has been the best in the history
OF the farm, judged by the annual out
put, which during 1900 exceeded $4,000
ducks and 1000 broilers.
Year by year Mr.. Hallock has added

GOOD DAIRY RATION.
Relative Value of Various Kinds of
HAY and Grain

HAY and Grain.
An Illinois dairyman asked informa-
ton as to how to compound the best
milk ration from corn and cob meal,
oatmeal, bran, oat hay cured in the
bundle, mixed timothy and clover hay,
clover forming one-fourth of the mix
ture, says W. J. Fraser of the Illinois
experiment station.
While corn is too carbonaceous to be
a good food for dairy cows. yet in this
section of the country, where it can be
grown so cheaply, we must depend
upon it for the basis of our ration
even for dairy cows. With the grains
mentioned | should advise feeding six
pounds corn and cob meal, three
pounds oatmeal and three pounds bran
per day, with all the mixed hay and
oat hay, equal parts, that the cows will
eat. Each animal will probably con-
sumo 16 to 20 pounds per day, depend
ing upon the individuality of the COW
and also upon the condition of the hay.
Dat hay if cut while it is still green
and if properly cured makes an ex-
cellent feed for dairy cows. Yhe oats
do not pass through whole when fed in
this manner, but are remasticated with
the hay and nearly all ground with the
teeth, which is not the case when whole
thrashed oats are fed. This saves both
the thrashing and grinding bills.
Clover hay is one of the best hays
we have FOR cows. because it is rich in
albuminoids. and this is the class of
substances almost invariably lacking
in the dairy rations of the corn belt.
Timothy hay is one of the poorest hays
for cows. l should advise replacing Il
pound or two of the corn and cob meal
with gluten meal or oil meal, as this
adds to the variety and also makes a
much better balanced ration.

CHURNlNG IN WINTER.
How to Obviate the Difficulty of Col
Letting Butter Eat.

How to Obviute the Difficulty of Coll
Letting Butter Fat.
During cold weather one of the chief
difficulties in butter making results
from hard fat granules and cream with
a high yiscosity. These conditions are
more common in the early winter
months than at any other time and
when cows are somewhat advanced in
lactation. The character of the feed
also has something to do with this.
The difficulty can be remedied by using
feed of more succulent character, di-
luting the cream with warm water or
a very weak brine.
Care must be taken in diluting not to
carry this too far, as the cream will be
thin and hard to churn. Warming of
the cream gradually several hours be-
fore churning will also aid in the col
lection of butter fat. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the cream will have to be
heated as high as 70 or so degrees to
churn we'll. Do not heat any more than
is absolutely necessary. Other things
being equal, the lower the temperature
at which the cream can be churned the
higher the quality of the butter.

PROTECTION FOR COLD FRAMES.

EhOlEC1ION TOh NOLD CllAhEOs
snow covered shutters and again at
night having as faithfully to put them
back. The illustration from Gardening
shows plan which very largely obvi-
ates this. According to the correspond
ent, who describes it as follows, it is in
expensive, and any one can rig it up in
very short time. OF course it is TAX
en- for granted that the frames are on
single stretch, otherwise it would act
as shade.
First of all protect the outside Of the
frame in the ordinary way. Get as
many by 4 inch posts as you require.
For the front they will have to be 3
feet inches and for the back feet
long Drive post (marked A in the
illustration) at each corner and about
one post for each sash, driving them
into the ground two feet. Then get
nail it on to those posts, using two at
the front (marked b and four at the
back. See that the posts are driven
about foot from the frame, so that
when the whole is fixed up you will
have foot of space between the
planking and the frame all around.
Fill this space with leaves or manure
and tramp it hard. This ought to be
sufficient protection for the sides
marked @.
For the top covering, allowing the
sash to be the ordinary size, 6 feet by
AZ inches, the top cover will have to
be feet long, so as to extend over the
outside protecting space and wide
enough to cover one sash. Planking
1 inch thick by inches wide will suit
Have it as light as possible. Nail the
planks firmly and brace them to keep
them square. Nail a few light laths on
one side, then pack the six inch cavity
with salt hay or some protecting ma
terial. Nail q few more laths ON the
other side to keep the protecting ma
terial in place.
Next get as many IS or IA foot posts
by inches as you have covers.
Place them at the back of the frame
! at the center of each sash, leaving six
inches of space between them and the
outside protecting board. Sink them
and firm them well, but see that you
have II feet above ground and have a
little wheel or pully on the top of each
post for the rope to run in.
Fix your protecting covers on to the
back protecting boards as figured. At
tach rope or pliable wire to the front
end of the protecting cover, pass it
over the pully wheel on the top of the
post at the back and attach to that end
of your rope some weighty material,
something that is slightly heavier than
the cover. This will raise the cover
easily, and very slight exertion on your
part will lower it again. A small catch
may be attached to the front to keep it
tight when the cover is down. A light
rope attached to the front will also
enable the operator to haul down the
cover without having to go to the back
of the frame.
This is very safe, convenient and
inexpensive covering, and. moreover, it
also serves as a protection from the
north winds during the day, when the
cover Is raised.

CATCHING ClCADAs.

How Certain Ma1ays Obtain a Curl
GUS Delicacy.
Certain natives of the Malay peninsu-
la catch cicadas and eat them and that
as considerable luxury. TO eat a ci-
cada seems distinctly curious, says the
London Daily Mail, when we reflect
that this insect is in reality a glorified
member Of that insect group which
contains as it's most prominent repre-
sentative the diminutive and swarthy
creature which shall be nameless here
for eyermore.
The way in which the Siamese pro-
ceeds was related to the Geological So
ciety the other day by naturalist who
has spent some time in the Malay pen
insula observing men as well as in
sects. At night, when these insects fly,
the native sallies forth armed with a
torch and but little raiment. The torch
is deposited in convenient place, and
the swarm of natives proceed to clap
their hands in perfectly regular fash
ion SO as to produce considerable
sound.
1t is the combination of light and
sound that allures the cicada from its
haunts to its destruction. The insects
come also in swarms and settle upon
the bodies of the applauding natives,
whence they are easily detached pre-
served, cooked and eaten.
The Greek sage remarked that happy
are the cicadas in that they have voice
less wives. 1t is. apparently the lady
cicadas who are attracted by what
they fondly believe to be the love cry
! Of the male and are thus lured to their
fate by that most dangerous of pas
sions.

COLD FRAMES IN WINTER.

Protection Which Removes n Source

The difficulty and labor connected
with the protection of cold frames in

nothing so aggravating to any one on
cold, frosty morning as having to haul
off frozen covers and shift around
