THE FIRST COST OF DUCKS
Some Hints Which Will Aid in the
Successful Managing of
Duck Farm.

A trio of good, ordinary market stock
should be %purchasable for about seven
dollars. Ducks are not like hens; they
do not lay all the year round, but when
they start they are attentive to the bust
ness of egg production daily, so that a
couple of mature Pekins will provide you
with a setting in six days. AS you will
want to keep some of the young ones for
next years stock, ask the breeder you
buy from to ship you birds two years old,
as their progeny is stronger.
Pekins never want to sit, SO hens must
be used for Matching until your stock is
large enough to fill an incubator in a few
days artificial duck raising is without
doubt the best. Think of one farm in
Massachusetts that markets Is, 900
young ducks annually, sells two tons OF
feathers, and keeps 1900 breeders!
Would such an immense business be pos
sible in the old way?
Though Pekins don't need water to
swim in, they must have quantities to
drink, always fresh and clean, which
e that drinking pans must be re-
filled three times a day, and be so con-
structed as to enable the bird to sub
merge the whole bill in the water. Why?
Because there are two small holes at the
base of the bill which become clogged
with feed or mud, and unless they can
rinse these out when drinking the poor
things smother.
A man who had a broiler farm near
our place, three years ago, bought a hum
dred ducks eggs, Matched out a fine lot
OF youngsters, and lost every one within
two weeks through using a water foun-
tain in the broOder that was too shall
low. AS | had lots of ducks at the time,
he brought some over for me to see.
There was nothing whatever the matter
with them except that their little nos
trils were all stopped up with the soft
food. So pray remember this very i'm
portant direction when you are arrang-
ing drinking water for ducks, young or
old-they must not be able to get into
the pan with their feet or bodies. but
their entire heads must have free en-
trance.-PearsOn's.

RAISE LIVE STOCK

The people of the State have be-
come thoroughly interested in cattle
raising, and thousands of dollars are
added to our resources as a result
thereof. So great is the awakening
along this line that we feel that words
upon this subject would be useless,
but we need an awaking to the great
value or raising hprses and mules for
the market.
Not a dollar of Mississippi money
should go out of the state for horses or
mules: but it is fact that more than
a million dollars went out of our con-
fines just this last fall and winter for
this purpose.
This should not be so, and we hope
to see every farmer in the state either
raising his own work stock or else
buying them from some neighbor who
does raise stock. In our opinion there
is less excuse for negligence along
this line than any other in the farm
er's province, because he can raise his
own horses with his other farm in
terests. 1t can be done, for we know
of farmers who do this. While it may
not be best, we know of lots of good
farmers who own breeding mares and
work them along with other stock,
thus raising colt each year without
interfering with their crop and sup
plying their farms with mules and
horses without purchasing them else
where.
More than this, just as fine colts
can be raised right here in old Mis-
sissippi as in old Missouri or Ken
lucky, as a number of our fine spe-
cimens will show, and if our farmers
would raise some blooded stock we
dare say that our merchants and. livery
men Throughout this grand old com.
monwealth would be only too glad to
make all their purchases right here at
