MATURE has a curious way of arrang-
IN ing the relationship between mankind
and the feathered deniZens of the field and
forest. Take the case of the duck, for
example. Most people who are familiar
with the various types of this bird which
are found in the farmers backyard or
swimming his pond, would be likely
to question a statement that out of all
the hundreds of varieties of the wild duck,
there is only one which can, under any
circumstances, be domesticated. Yet such
is the fact.
The one conspicuous exception to the
general rule is the Mallard duck. and all
the common commercial ducks have been
developed from this one variety.
Beginning with pair of white Mallard
ducks, it is possible in five years, to Sc
cure Il bird which is heavy that 1t
cannot fly over the back yard fence. 1t will
have ceased by that time. indeed, to
have any migratory instincts and will
he content to waddle around i'll the haunts
of men, absolutely Indifferent to the call
of the wild.
Try this experiment with wild duck
with Il green winged teal, or with any
other member of the duck family except
the Mallard, and at the end of twenty
years, if your courage has not departed,
you will still have simply a wild duck,
with exactly the same characteristics and
weighing scarcely pound more than. the
bird with which you started. His misra-
tory instincts will not have been lost IN
any degree and if he is allowed the
slightest liberty, he will be up and away.
