SOMETHING ABOUT DUCKS.

Cares For His PekinS.
To get good results from ducks be-
Iieve in a dry, well lighted and easily
aircd house yards with shallow water
ot the lower end and a gate to shut the
birds out of the water until they have
finished laying. The house should he
cleaned often and well beddcd with
clean straw. 1t will not be possible to
keen it absolutely clean, but the clean
or and drier the house the better for
the ducks. Dirty, damp floors mean
cold feet, and ducks with cole feet do
not do well.
