DUCK QUARTERS.

and the growth of young duck is
something phenomenal; it grows with
amazing rapidity for dozen weeks or
so, when it should be marketed, if not
to be kept as laying stock.
Ducks, however, cannot very we'll be
kept in the poultry house, nor in the

even only few feet high will suffice,
which can often be provided under a
barn, workshop or other building
as suggested in the accompanying pic
ture; and such quarters can easily be
cleaned out with hoe or rake, and a
new litter thrown in. This low pen will
be warm in winter. and so conduce to
early laying; while on the other hand,
it will prove very cool spot during the
heat of summer, being thus conducive
to continuous laying.-Fred o. Sibley,

MOISTENING THE EGGS.

Attention.

We believe that as rule sprinkling
the eggs with warm water which are

If the hen is free to leave the nest

respite from her duties, she will re-

fer for moisture, says Wallace S
Farmer. In our early experience we
regularly sprinklea the eggs the third
day before the hatch was due. We had
read about cart load of poultry pa
pers, and with a good deal of sound
advice which they gave US, we gave
undue weight to several articles
which got the advantage of our cal
lowness and made us believe that
sprinkling the eggs was of prime i'm
portance. While still believing that
under certain conditions it is attend

THE ADAPTABLE OYSTER.
Transplanted Several Times the Sue.
cuIent Bivalve Takes on New
Characterization.

Oysters of the species Ostrea edulis,
one year old, are brought from Brit
tany and transported at Hayling is
land. After two years on the Hay
ling beds they are transferred to
Whitstable, says Nature. While they
are at Hayling they acquire the
characteristics of flavor and texture
and color of shell of the oysters ma
tive to Hayling, yet they are distin-
guishable as originally from Brit
tany. When they are transferred to
Whitstable they acquire the charac-
teristics of Whitstable, yet, they are
and can easily be detected by ex-
perts. 2t - tH
Now, the curious point is. this:
These oysters are known to spawn
at Whitstable, yet oysters "spat"
from this spawn have never been
found. There are found, however,
especially the last few years, i'm
mense quantities of oysters which
resemble the ancient native oysters
of Whitstable, and are declared by
experts to be Whitstable natives, vet
differing from them slightly in
coarseness of shell and greater grow.
ing power, and in being more suscep-
tibie to cold weather than the an
cient Whitstable natives. Among oys-
ter experts these oysters are con-
sidered to be the offspring of the
oysters originally brought from Brit
tany, and this opinion is supported
by the fact that when these oysters
spawn at Hayling the spat from
them resembles in every way the
oysters native to Hayling. Can the
oysters that become changed in this
way be considered to have acquired
their new characteristic by Lamarck-
ism or by natural selection?

CAUSED BY PARASITE.
Habit of Feather EntinE in Hens Said
to BE Due to n PerniciOus
Little Insect.

The New York experiment station
published a bulletin on feather eat
ing" among fowls. The report makes
a number of observations on this hab-
it, suggesting that it is the result of
a lack of heterogeneous matter in the
feed, and citing experiments where
fresh cut bone, lean meat, etc, were
fed. "The vice." the report says, lis
very uncommon among fowls that
have exercise and variety of
feed, and it is most economical to
prevent its appearance by careful
feeding; but as the spread is rapid
even under a ration which does not
ordinarily Seem to encourage it's de-
velopment, the vice should be
stamped out by the death or removal
of the first offender"
The editor of Farm and Dairy, New
South Wales, calls attention to the
fact of the failure to mention the
true cause of Feather eating" 1T is
now a well-known fact" says the
editor, that feather eating is due
to a minute parasite lsarcoptis laevis)
which feeds at the roots of the feath-
crs, thus irritating the birds and
causing them to pluck out their own
feathers. Where feathers are pulled
out by other birds, it is due to the
presence of lice, for which they are
searching" ~ M ~
The prevention and remedy. says
the editor, are simple, as the mite
disease is contagious Through copu-
lation) isolation of the affected bird
is the first step, especially if it be
cock. The mite yields readily to
treatment of one part of creosote to
20 parts of lard or vaseline, well
rubbed into the affected parts.
