A yard fifty feet long and ten
wide viii bs sufficiently large to pro-
vide exercise for a small breeding
flock; and the wire netting need
only be eighteen inches high, which
will not cost more than s1.5O.
Though the fence need not be high,
it must be very securely fastened to
the ground; for ducks seem to pos
sess abnormal powers when it comes
to creeping under anything.
A trio of good ordinary market
stock should be purchased for about
81. Ducks are not like hens-they
do not lay all the year round; but
when they start they are attentive
to the business of egg production
daily, so that a couple of mature
Peklns will provide you with a sit
ting 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 in
cubator in few days. Artificial
duck-raising is without doubt the
best. There is one farm in Massa-
chusetts that markets fifty-five thou
sand young ducks annually, sells
two tons of feathers and keeps
twelve hundred breeders. Would
such an immense business be possible
In the old way?
Though Pekins don't need water
to swim in, they must have quanti-
ties to drink, always fresh and clean;
which means that drinking-pans
must be refilled three times a day,
and be so constructed as to enable
the birds to submerge the whole bill
in the water. Why? Because there
are two small holes in 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
DouSht a hundred ducks eggs,
hatched out fine lot of youngsters,
and lost every one within two weeks
through using a water fountain in
the brooder that was too shallow.
As had lots of ducks at the time,
he brought some over for me tn see.
There was nothing whatever the
matter with them except that their
nostrils were all stopped up with
the soft food. So pray remember
this very important direction when
you are arranging 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 entrance

The cheapest method OF fattenlng
hogs is to feed variety of food.
On the majority of farms the hogs
are pushed forward after the fall Is
nearly over, but they are not always
penned in n condition In which to fa-
cilitate the fattening operation. One
method Of using corn is to Finish
off With ii, thereby hardening the
fat. 70 really fatten a hog It should
be fed in such a manner previous to
being penned as to force growth.
First build up the frame for the re-
ception of the meat that may be laid
upon it, feeding such foods as should
not only forward growth, but also
keep the animal in condition that
will entail but little expense when the
time arrives for getting 1t fat To do
this in the most economical manner
pumpkins, bees, turnips, carrots,
water squaa6 and parsnips, together
with f1fy cut clover hay, may be
fed Nth good results. 1t will not
do, however, to feed such substances
N a wasteful manner A cauldron
or steamer may be used for cooking
large quantity of roots, and warm
feed should be given early in the
morning, the mass thickened with
ground grain or some of the we'll
known mill products rich in protein.
At noon a feed composed of chopped
roots, fed raw, but not too cold, will
be sufficient. AT night they may be
given liberal supply of corn. Such
foods will not only keep the hogs in
good health, but will be the cheapest
diet at this season that can be al
lowed, as the varied articles will rap
idly push them forward while the
weather is not severe. Do not crowd
the hogs, and feed in manner so
as to permit them to eat without COM
petition. The farmer should utilize
anything on the farm that will serve
to assist in making growth or fat,
and should not overlook the fact
that the market prefers hogs which
contain fair proportion of lean meat
as well as fat.

Mrs. II. T. Ford of the China Inland

province OF Honan, in a letter to her
family, has some amusing things to
tell about the establishment OF the
Chinese Imperial Post In the pro-

Post here now. At Kaifeng, when

there to lick the stamps, and paid for

to lick them, so they came to blows
and the police had to come in and sep
arate them.

business than the healthful criticism

state of financial journalism-not
merely the purely financial press, but
also that portion of the daily press

All horses need salt and often suf-
fer for the want of It. A lump of
mineral salt or salt brick may be
put In one corner of the stall where
the horse can take it when he likes;
but do not put the salt where 1t will
mix with the grain, for in that case
the horse win get more salt than he
wants This method of having salt
always before him will prevent him
from eating too much at one time.
The next best plan is to give the

Farm Notes.

Sunflower seed adds lustre to the
plumage.
Pullets rarely make good mothers;
old hens are the best.
All fowls require variety of food
and get excessively tired of using one
kind.
A wet season is not a good one for
sheep. High, dry land yields the
most mutton to the acre.
A bunch of hogs alike in color,
alike in size and alike in condition,
will always strain the market up a
notch or two.
The clover plant is the cheapest
and most effective subsoil plow that
can be used on soils where it will
work; runs deeper, is self-propelling
