DUCK RAISER'S WAY.
In No Profit in Keeping Small
Number of Pekins

When you have for mating Pekins
25 or 80 females and five or six males,
in case your duck eggs do not hatch
we'll, it is almost impossible to trace
the trouble, while of course in the sin.
gle mating you can tell at once where
the trouble is and remedy it; where
there are so many in together they are
apt to interfere with one another and
do not think the result is as good.
The expense of single matings is great
er, but it is astonishing to see how lit
tie it takes to shelter ducks anyway;
a mere packing case will do just as
we'll as an elaborate building. The
only objection I see to the single mat
ings is in the yards in case you have
running water, for it necessitates
quite a good deal of fencing in order to
give them a fair show at it. but I in
dorse the single pen matings. Com
petition is very keen and there is no
profit in small numbers. A profitable
number to begin with is 25 females and
five males. In general, allow one drake
to six or seven females. The house
should afford six square feet to each
bird. For breeds, Pekin is best and
Muscovy next. A two of three foot
fence is enough to separate full
grown Pekins. They begin to lay in
February and continue to July. The
average weight of young ducks at
IL weeks should be 10 to IL
pounds. Feed ducklings at first mix
ture two-thirds bran and third
cornmeal, which is sometimes moist
ened with milk. or with infertile hens
eggs. with little fine beef scrap.
After five weeks they may be given Is
per cent. beef scrap. Dress off at
or 12 weeks old. Run the incubator as
for hens eggs or one degree lower.
Ducks eggs are worth five to eight
cents per dozen more than hens eggs.

FERTILITY OF EGGS.
Every Poultry Raiser 10 later.
ested Just Now. ~

Matching season is either now with,
or soon will be with, poultry raisers.
the time depending upon surround
ings; and the fertility of eggs is the
needful thing; the way to secure fertile
eggs is a way all wish to know. Some
say good per cent. of fertile eggs is
not to be had if the fowls are confined
to limited range, but we have had and
have known others to have IS per
cent. of fertile eggs from yarded
fowls. Last year ours had limited
very range, the yard in which six pull
let's, two hens and one cockerel were
confined being about two rods square.
and in this Enclosure the roosting room
and scratch shed were placed.
You may say, the per cent. OF fertile
eggs was good, but perhaps the whole
number of eggs was small. No, the
average from the eight hens from the
18th of February to the last of May was
six and a half eggs per day; higher
average than we were able to get from
the outside hens. The average would
doubtless have been higher if we could
have secured fresh meat at all times
for them. We fed mash Of wheat
bran, mixed stiff with kitchen scraps
and salty dishwater Of a morning;
about quart of mash; at noon wheat
or oats was scattered among leaves in
the scratch shed; at night a quart of
shelled corn was thrown among the
leaves.
Nothing pleases hens better than to
dig up fresh moist earth for them, and
I think there is nothing healthier.
Green food, cut grass, rye and wheat
was fed them every day-all they
would eat; but the way confined hens
enjoy their green meal the best is to
place o slab of sod in their pen, or even
pull up large tufts of grass.
No need to fear infertile eggs from
yarded fowls if you will pen only
healthy fowls. Give a variety of food;
induce exercise, and keep quarters
clean. I prefer a yearling cockerel to
an older male. Whatever age the head
of the pen must be in the very pink Of
perfection as regards health and vigor.
One should have not more than eight
hens to one male OF the larger breeds;
several more hens may be mated to
male if of the small breeds, our chicks
were B. P. Rocks.
Gather the eggs every day. Keep in
an even temperature, several degrees
above freezing; turn every day and you
may keep them three weeks; then set
and receive good matches as far as tho
age of the eggs is concerned. It will
probably take from IS to "a hours long
er to hatch them. The above care ap-
plies equally as well to setting eggs
from range fowls, or any other poul-
try. If you would once try the plan Of
selecting eight or dozen of your best
hens, mating with No. cockerel,
yarding and using these eggs to hatch
from, you would never try other ways.

The bottom row of nests is raised
from the floor by Dashboard two
inches wide, this allows space for the
end cleats on which the bottom shelves
rest.
The cabinet here illustrated is made
for 20 pairs of birds. Two such cab
inets, one on each side of a room ten
by twelve feet, would comfortably &C.
commodate 80 to IS pairs, allowing a
few nests for birds that may claim two
sections.
Only the upright partitions are made
secure to the building. The top and
shelves should not be fastened, and
may easily be moved when cleaning out
time comes. One point must be remem-
bered, no nest cabinet should be built
more than five nests high, and where
one is not cramped for room four nests
high would be better.
The top of the cabinet makes good
resting place for birds not on the nest,
and no other perches are needed. In
nearly every pen there will be a pair or
two that will persist in building on top
of the cabinet, and, if they are to be
humored, the attendant should give
them a nest pan or box, for in most
cases they will succeed in raising a
good pair of squabs.-Farm Journal.

Remedy for scaly Legs.

Make a saturate solution of fresh
naphthaline flakes in good high test
kerosene. Fill small bucket with the
solution and dip the birds legs into
this solution once a week. Four or five
dippngs will usually cure the worst
cases, says the Poultry Monthly.
After the first dipping remove all
scales that will come away easily. Be
careful to dip only the legs into the So
luton. Do not get it on the skin of
the thighs, or it will raise blister.
Try to avoid soiling the feathers with
it. 1 add Venetian red to the solution,
as it makes it stick and color the legs
sufficiently to identify. at glance,
the birds that have been treated. The
red stain soon wears. off. 1 use only
enough red to color the solution good
red color. 1t is safe, simple and sure
cure used properly. But remember
that you can kill or badly blister fowls
with kerosene if you are careless and
sloppy in using it.

EARLY Work in the Apiary,

AS soon in spring as the weather
permits the bottom boards of the hives
should be scraped and cleaned of the
cappings and filth which have accumu-
lated during the winter. If the bottom
boards are detachable, and I always
prefer to have them so. the work is
easily performed, writes C. Herman,
in the New England Homestead. After
being cleaned stand them in the sun
for a few minutes to dry. It will make
a wonderful difference to the bees.
save them lots of time and work and
perhaps prevent disease. The bees
will build up much faster for it.

SON."
She was sitting on low chair, a
kind OF ottoman, with her hands
folded across her knees. More than
year before she had returned from
college, bringing honors, live inter-
est in affairs and splendid health.
Her father, the distinguished jurist
who had assembled to the bench after
making a fortune in the practice of
his profession in which his leadership
was admitted by his entire state,
had expressed some surprise when
she said she wanted to study law,
but it was all arranged in q day
and she had proven not only an apt
but an enthusiastic pupil. She looked
about as much like an attorney as
Portia. She was tall, graceful and
beautiful. with light hair that was
forever trying to escape its re-
straints, and with the kind of blue
eyes that see opportunities and find
out the best ways of encompassing
them.
It must be confessed that the
examination or cross-examinatiO ton
which followed was somewhat out
of the usual order. The attor-
ney, through Judge Matthew Stake,
ordered witness Matthew Stake to
give to the jury of IL Mat
thew Stakes an account of his life.
Witness Stake did so in clean-cut
language and in pleasant, unruf-
fled voice. Witness Stake said the
following Wednesday would be his
fifty-eighth birthday; he was born
of good family in Strengthened cir
cumstances; he got his first educa-
ton by home study; he afterwards
taught the district school; he worked
his way along and managed to gain
admission to the bar by supporting
himself by any kind of respectable
employment that came to hand: his
beginning in law was unpropitious,
and he had long struggle, but suc-
cess finally come; he made a com

After Witness-Stake- had finished
his recital, Judge Stake turned him
over to the attorney for the cross
examination. 49,, .r

PIGEON NEST CABINET.
Style Here Described HaA Been
Adopted by Noted Fancier After
Years Of ExperlmentinE.

After experimenting for years with
various nesting apartments for
pigeons, and examining those of other
experienced breeders, we have adopted
the style set forth in the accompanying
illustration as being the best, cheap
est and most convenient for the attend
ant as well as the birds.
The dimensions are seven feet two
inches high, eight feet long and two
feet deep. Partitions are two feet
apart, making each nest shelf, which
rests on cleats nailed to the partitions,
two feet square. Shelves are one foot
apart, giving ample room for nest pan
about three and half or four inches
high. .
Few birds will need more than one
nest pan or box at time; but should
the hen wish to lay before the squads
'nre old enough to leave the nest, an
other nest may be placed in the op-
posite corner. would be better to
have the apartments two and half or.
even three feet long where two nest
boxes are to be used.
The illustration shows the top row
Of nest boxes in position, also one of
the shelves removed in the second row.

When it is desired to use ladder
where there is any possibility Of it's
slipping, as for instance upon smooth
barn floor, it should be so constructed
that it will hold. A pair of sharp
spikes properly driven into the lower
end will prevent its slipping, and is
perhaps the simplest method, but
often this is not desirable, as such a
ladder will injure floor. A ladder
which is free from this objection is
