A Flock of Pekin Ducks.

We have the Pekin ducks, and this
year we have the most magnificent
full-bred birds we ever saw, some of
them weighing 10 to IL pounds each.
In raising them we have used various
methods, and we are satisfied that
the plans we now use are the best for
this section. We have constructed a
large artificial lake, which is fed by
springs. Each duck yard is 50x150
leading out into this lake. In this
way our birds get the advantage Of
actual living. Our houses are 10 by
20 feet, low sheds with raised floors
of earth. These floors we keep COW
cred with straw. We put 20 ducks
and four brakes in each yard and
house, and in the laying season we
keep our birds up till about 10 o'clock
in the day. In this way we have no
trouble in regard to finding the eggs.
1t is not absolutely necessary to have
water for ducks. Yet we find they
look much cleaner. for having water.
and we really think It gives us the
best results. The duck is a great
money-malSing bird. II is easy enough
to succeed with ducks If common
sense is used in their care and man
agement. G. W Brown,
Ouachita Co, Ark.
