habit to lay their eggs very early in
the morning, often before daylight;
for this reason they are driven into
the house at night, and kept shut in
till several s4ours after sunrise, to
prevent them from running about and
dropping their eggs on the ground
wherever they may be. Pekin ducks
are kind of a machine; they seldom
lay an egg in nest, and will lay the
most of them in the water if allowed
their freedom and are not shut up
at night. We doubt if one out of five of
them would go into the house to lay
if they are allowed to run as they
please.
For these reasons they should have
a comfortable house that has good,
dry earth floor. This should be COW
cred over with straw or dry meadow
grass for them to rest on at night.
During cold weather the house should
be closed up like the hen house. When
spring and warmer weather come, give
all the air and ventilation possible
while they are shut in. You will find
1t necessary to drive them in at night,
or to give the evening meal within the
house. and shut them in while they
eat. The litter should be turned over
at least twice a week; it should be
put out in the sun once week to air
and dry, and at this time the floor
should be cleaned and the litter put
back. We know that some who keep
ducks do not clean the houses all win
ter. With such care the ducks and
their eggs are always covered with
dirt.
For old or laying ducks, mix by
measure one-half corn meal, one
fourth wheat bran. the rest green
food, cooked vegetables and meat
scraps. Mix into this some coarse
sand, and mix all into dry mash food
with water. The green food should
be cut up into short pieces; green rye,
oats or clover is good for this. When
the ducks are not laying, feed light:
when laying, feed strong two or three
times a, day; if they grow fat, feed
less corn meal and meat and more
bran. Always feed the ducks in
troughs or boxes. They should have
plenty OF grit and oyster shell. The
sand that is mixed in their food is
good for digestion or grinding, but
they must have in addition to this
food grit or shell. Green cut bone or
meat of any kind is good for them.
All animal food is better if cooked
for ducks,
Pekin ducks will do very well with
simply enough water to drink. and
thousands of them are raised that
never had chance to swim in water
at all. AT the same time, ducks that
are kept for breeders do better when
they have the chance to swim and wash
IN the water.-Country Gentleman,

MANAGEMENT OF DUCKS.
The Man Who Expects to Make Pc
kins Pay Must Take Excellent
+ Care of Them.

It is not absolutely necessary to
have so warm house for Pekin ducks
as for fowls, but it pays best to have
a good comfortable house for them,
as will be shown presently. When
properly cared for, ducks begin to lay
during the winter months; those that
are hatched quite early in the spring
may lay in December. We should pre-
fer ducks in their second year for
breeders, or at least very early
Matched ones, so they might be almost
or quite one year old before eggs from
them are used for Matching. Duck
lings do better that are hatched from
eggs that are laid by mature ducks.
Ducks can be plucked during warm
weather, just prior to beginning to
moult; then all the blood has gone
from the quill of the feather, and but
little pain is given by plucking them
at that time.
Ducks sit about on the ground; they
do not roost like fowls. 1t is their

Catarrh has already become a ma
tional curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by it. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession
and become national question. Sen
ators are talking about it; Congress
men are discussing it.
They are not only con sidering the
extent and chronic nature of the dis
ease, but the possibility of finding ma
tional remedy to meet this national ca
lamity.
The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems
to be the main expectation in this di-
rection.
DIR. Hartman, President of the Hart
man Sanitarium, devised the remedy,
Peruna, over forty years ago, and the
remedy as catarrh cure has been

BAKING A TURKEY.
According to This Authority Many
Cooks DO IL the Wrong Way.

Ninety-nine women out of every
one hundred, ninety-nine cooks out
of every one hundred, will bake a
turkey with the back to the pan,"
said New Orleans man who keeps
in touch with the kitchen, according
to the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
land this is mistake. / said ninety
nine out of every one hundred. Rath-
er should L have said that the mis-
take is almost universally made. But
few cooks ever think of cooking the
turkey any other way. There seems
to be a demand for well-browned
turkey breast. But in browning the
breast they sacrifice the sweetness
of this part of the fowl. The best
way to prepare a turkey is to bake
il with the breast down. | learned
this lesson from Mime. Begue, whose
place down in the Old Quarter near
the French market has become
famed all over the country. She
never thinks of baking a turkey with
the breast up. The breast is turned
to the bottom or the pan, instead
of being dry and tasteless when it is
served is richly favored, and as
sweet and juicy as one would care to
have it. You see, all the fine flavor
ing of the turkey, the juices OF the
dressing ana all the daintier touches
flow down toward the breast of the
fowl, and when the white meat is
served you get the full benefit of
every flavor added during the process
of preparing and baking the turkey,
in addition to the distinctive taste
of the fowl itself.
"Inconvenient and awkward? Not
at all. 1t is just as easy to cook a
turkey in this way as in any other
way, and the result is infinitely more
satisfactory. 1t is- no trouble to ar
range the fowl in the pan. If you de-
eide to place the fowl on the table
before carving it you will find that it
will look quite as well as it would
if baked in the usual way, and GER
tainly it will taste much better than
it would if you baked the breast un-
til 1T was dry and flavorless."

MACHINE-MADE HENS.
In n New England Factory Chickens
Are Mechanically Hatcbed, Fed
and Picked,


Che old-fashioned Plymouth Rock
hen considered she was faithfully do
ing her duty if she laid about three
dozen eggs u year, but the modern
machine-made hen is afraid that her
head will go off if she does not keep
the record up to 200. In those old
| fashioned times she enjoyed the
honor of motherhood and was con-
sidered of much greater importance
than being an producing ma
chine. That was all changed with the
introduction of the incubator system,
which not only cuts off several days
in the period of Matching, but does
the business in generally more sat
isfactory manner than did the mother
hen.
Besides this there is the necessity
of system all around which leads to
the ultimate production of the manu-
factured chicken.
In one of the largest poultry-pro-
ducing places of the east large
plant has recently been installed
which is proba bly, the most perfect in
the world. The entire plant, in fact,
is but one vast machine, each floor OF
which is devoted to the chicken-p pro-
ducing business. On the top floor are
located the incubators in which the
unmatched eggs are placed on tray
and subjected to heat Of about 80
degrees. Beneath the tray, in which
are hatched about 1000 chickens a
day, are the brooders, and here in
temperature of about 90 degrees the
chicks remain for 81 days. After be-
ing born one day feeding commences,
the fare being millet, ground oats and
canary seed. For the first week they
are fed five times a day, the amount
of foot being gradually increased, all
though given less often, their diet be-
ing gradually changed to include the
coarser grains. BY the rapid forcing
method of feeding adopted it takes
only a week or two to bring the
chicken to a weight of two pounds.
The chicken is then taken to the
floor below, where a very limited
space is allowed for the running
around and where a number of cram
ming machines are located The
crowded pens on this floor are the
first and last glimpse the modern
chicken catches of the world into
which it is born, for here it begins to
fatten rapidly, as the cramming ma
chimes force an abnormal quantity of
food down it's throat. 1T takes from
two to four weeks to bring the
weight of these chickens up to about
sin pounds. at which time they are
exactly in shape for market.
They are then removed to the floor
below where are the guillotines and
plucling machines. Here they are
Disposed of more rapidly than in any
of the foregoing processes, the kill
ing and dressing being carried out
with the greatest speed possible, so
that the fowl may be placed in the
packing barrel as nearly warm as
possible and reach the market while
perfectly fresh.
1t is II surprising fact that the
products of this tablishment re-
ceive better favor at the hands of
poultry buyers in the large cities
than does the old-fashioned farm-fed
product. The owners of the plant
expect TO make fortune out of
their enterprise and are really maxi
ing moEey fast already.-Boston Let

with Peruna almanacs. There is sure to be
a great demand for these almanacs on ac-
count of the articles on astrology which they
contain. The subject of astrology is a very

on astrology in the Peruna almanac have
been furnished by very competent astrol-
dgist, and the mental characteristics of each
sign is given, constituting almost a complete
horoscope. A list of lucky and unluclly days
for each month are given. There will be
