THE LA fLGCHE BREED.
A French Fowl Noted For It's SPLEEN"
did Table Qualities.


As their name indicates, La Fleche
fowls are a French breed and, like
most other varieties of France, are
named after the district in which they
were supposed to be first bred, says
the London Mail. La Fleche fowls
have long been established in England
and are bred for the table, and for this
purpose it would be difficult to fnd
another breed to beat them, their flesh
being Of excellent quality. AS layers OF
eggs, however, they leave something to
be desired, and hardness Is not their
strong point, so that it will be seen that
they are really one purpose breed.
AS to the origin of the breed, 1t IS
reported to have resulted from cross
of the old time gaunt, long legged and
large sized Spanish fowl with the Pol
ish. the former blood predominatlng
but the hardness of feather and juicy
flesh would almost seem to indicate

Duck Notes.

Never hurry the laying ducks. IL
usually Injuries them. sometimes seri'
ously. When handling ducks never
hold them by the wings.
When sickness attacks ducks II ls
useless to doctor. The best remedy Ior
duck ailments is plenty OF slced raw
onion in the mash and an absolutely
dry, soft bed.
When you desire Runner ducks for
egg production have four to five DUCKS
with an unrelated drake. Two DUCKS
and one drake usually produce TOO
large a percentage of brakes, and they
don't pay to fatten.
Ducks should never be permitted 10
run with fowls. They both do best ID
pens by themselves.
When fowls and ducks are allowed
to drink from the same vessel look OUT
