sufficiency of proper grit. What
they want are hard, regular-shaped
substances, the edges of which are
sharp. If a hen dies or is killed, it
is well, therefore, to open her gizzard
and examine it's contents; if the edges
of these are found to be blunt and
round, it indicates that the birds re-
quire more grit. Flint grit is the best
of any that can be used, because it is
harder than any other kind. 1t is not
obtainable in every locality, however,
hence, to substitute it, old china or
earthenware should be broken up in
small pieces and fed, instead, and
even old mortar served likewise.
Ground oyster shells may also be used
to good effect; in fact, clamshells and
the like, if only pounded or broken
up fine, so that when placed before
the hens they can select the sharpest
and toughest pieces to be found. Arti-
fetal grit is welcomed by them more
than is supposed when they are run
ming at large.

The Care of the Duckings.

Art. N.--MrS. OctaVluS Alien
1t is sometimes little difficult to
know exactly what to do with your
finished ducklings when you intend
keeping them for stock. If they are
to be kept in small yard there is but
little trouble, but as the profit on
ducks is not so much greater where
the old birds, j. e., the breeders, can
have a large range they should all
be turned Loose to hunt up their l1v-
ing as soon as it is possible. Ducks
are SO nervous that they cannot be
treated like other domestic fowls.
They will stampede and pile like
sheep at the least unusual movement
and will scratch each others backs
and break each others wings and ribs
and become generally unmanageable.
| have found it good plan when I
intend entirely renewing nty STOCK
from this years brood to remove the
brakes from the old pens, and leave
ONLY a few of the ducks to act as
leaders" Shut the young ducks into
a small yard for day or two and
when friendship is established, feed
them overnight, and turn the whole
party loose first thing in the morning.
AS soon as the old ducks have taught
the young ones the way to the water
and feeding grounds they may be
Withdrawn. Several brakes may be
kept together, if they are all intro
duced at the same time, but 1t is
useless TO try to persuade an old
drake to tolerate a new young rival.
An unlimited number of ducks and
brakes may be kept together provided
they are amicably started. IL the
brakes happen to fight IN spite OF all
precautions, they must be reduced to
the verge of starvation and they Will
be too hungry to think about any
thing else
Those who wish to hatch very early
ducklings must make it an invariable
rule to have their early breeding stock
composed entirely of this year
birds. The brakes will be more active
and the ducks will commence laying
earlier. If the old stock is too good
to be spared, it is better to keep them
for later Matching; that is, about the
last of February or the beginning OF
March, and from these the stock birds
for next year can be Matched. Very
early Matched Pekins will frequently
lay as early as August or September,
but April or May birds are best for
Christmas eggs.
An old drake may be mated to as
few as two ducks, but young drake
