81 ANIMAL EPlCURES.
The Grab Eating Raccoon and PecuI-


The Grab Eating Raccoon and Pecu!-
lar Crustacean Taste.
What made the crab eating raccoon
first take to his queer diet? The
question IS suggested by Il specimen of
this strange animal which has arrived
Mt the menagerie and will he happy to
oblige any generous visitor with an
Illustration of the quickest way to kill,
unshell and swallow a crustacean with
out artificial assistance of any kind.
Doubtless the popularity originated in
the shore frequenting habits of the
species, and, being delicate feeder,
the sUcculence OF the crab, once crack
ed, was an obvious induccment to re-
new his acquaintance on every posi-
bic occasion. Originally probably
fruit eater, the raccO0n IS inquisitive
and dainty, both strong incentives to
experiments in diet. When an indi-
vidual sees Il small object he does not
understand, his actions fall under
three headings. He first puts the
article to close scrutiny. both with his
eyes and that SuperclliOuS upturned
nose of his; then he takes II away and
washes it-a very characteristic action
of this water loving an!mal-and final
ly puts 1t to the grand test of eatable-
ness or otherwise. II 1t appears Tn
palatablo, he gives 1t to his wife. In
this way 1t is easy to imagine how the
creek loving coon. wcaryfng of too
much fruit, made his first crab supper
and, though he has never been able to
add 4 squeeze of lemon or brown
bread and butter to the repast, has be-
come confirmed lover of crustacea
ever since. All creatures make expert
ments of the sort and occasionally car
~ them on until they become n fixed
habit, and their whole structure Is
modified In accordance. Nature, for
instance, never intended the osprey to
live on fish. 1t was the temptation of
an old world trout in difficulties in
the shadows that first led the great
hawk astray. Some small Brazilian
monkeys, again, live almost exclusive
ly on birds eggs, an Australian parrot
has given up proper vegetarian diet
for an exclusive regimen of mutton,
and many other instances of the same
unorthodox appetites might be cited

standard of perfection which 1t is i'm
possible to attain, these new breeds are
usually valuable additions to the poul-
try world. The latest claimants for
popular favor are the Light Plymouth
Rocks. These birds are genuine Plym-
outh Rocks, with the shape and char
acteristics of that valuable breed, but
with the coloring of the Light Brah-
ma. Naturally the blood Of the latter
has been used in producing this vari-
ETY., which is a good thing, for of the
many varieties of fowls now extant
there IS none which when properly
treated will give better returns than
the Light Brahma. Indeed. the only
objection to the Light Brahma is that
it is handicapped by feathers on the
shanks. These of course do not ap-

MUSCOVY DUCKS.
Their Strong and Weak Points as Com
pared With the White Pekjns,


pared With the White Pekins.
MuScovy ducks are very different
from the Pekins and have not proved
as satisfactory for market purposes,
one reason being that there Is very
considerable difference In size be-
tween the males and females, which Is
a disadvantage from a market stand
point where uniformity In size is one
of the requirements. Again, 1t takes
longer to hatch Muscovy ducks than
1t does Pekins. They are not as con-
veniently handled In large focks, are
disposed to fly and prefer to roost In
the trees rather than be confined. They
are not as heavy layers as the Pekins,
but are remarkably hardy, and their
eggs hatch particularly well, although
for some reason 1t is more difficult to
get a good hatch by artificial means
than with the Pekin duck eggs. The
meat of the Muscovy is exceptionally
fine favored, and for the size Of the
duck there IS a greater amount of edi-
BILE flesh than on almost any other va

Don't Feed Too Soon,

After the chicks are Matched they
should not be fed for at least forty
eight hours. and some people do not
feed until they are sixty four hours old
When the chicks are first put into the
brooder the temperature of the brooder
should not be above 95, where 1t should
be kept for the first few days and then
gradually reduced each day until 1t Is
down to 70 degrees.

For worms in fowls feed q mash
