PREPARE DUCKS FOR MARKET
Number of Things to Be Carefully
Observed in Order to Get Birds
in Excellent Shape.

(By W. r. GILBERT)
1t should be the aim of those who
require early ducklings for the market
to have stock birds in full lay by the
end of October or the first of Novem-
ber-that is, before the severe wealth
er sets in
In order to accomplish this the feed
ing during September and October
must be carefully attended to and the
nutritious rather than fattening food
be provided for the birds.
By this time last years ducks should
have quite overcome the mott and
should have their full complement of
feathers.
AS far as possible an abundance of
exercise should be allowed the birds.
and this can only satisfactorily be ar
ranged when a free range is provided.
The chief danger of combining them is
that under such conditions they are
liable to add on flesh too quickly, and
on no account should stock ducks be
fat.
The difficulty can, of course. be
overcome by feeding sparingly upon
somewhat bulky foods.
Two meals day will be found quite
sufficient, one the first thing in the
morning and the other about $3.50 or
in the afternoon.
Soft food should be provided for the
morning meal and a mixture during
this and the succeeding month which
we have employed with success is
two parts of the middlings, one of the
barley meal, one of bran and one of
brewers grains.
At first there may be a slight diff
Guilty in persuading the birds to eat
the last mentioned, but they speedily
become accustomed to the flavor and
eat it readily.
A mixture such as this will keep
the ducks In good store condition and
will assist egg production at the pro-
per time. No hard or fast rule can be
laid down as to the actual amount of
food to be supplied, as this varies
with the breed and the conditions un-
der which the birds are being kept
and with the season.
The only thing to do is to periodic
ally examine them, and If too fat re-
duce the quantity of food; if too lean
Increase 1t.
The mash should be given to the
birds not in a sloppy but crumbly,
moist condition. 1t the former state
too much unnecessary water has to
be taken into the system.
The soft food should always be sup
piled warm.
For the afternoon feeding either
hard grain or mash may be supplied.
Personally l prefer the latter. but
many breeders are in favor of the
former.
Should grain be provided oats are
he best for the purpose, which should
be scattered upon the drinking water
Good sample oats much be used, as
otherwise there is too much husk. If
nash is employed-and the two may be
led on alternate days-the same mix
lure as that for the morning feed will
answer we'll.
If the birds are becoming rather too
Fat, the proportion of bran should be
increased and the barley meal de-.
creased.
The soft food should always be fed
rom a trough, otherwise so much is
.rampled on and made unfit for con-
sumption.

Introduce Ealconry.

New York.-Seven trained falcons,
in charge of an expert falconer, ar
rived here from England. for hunting
on the Long Island estate of Paul
Rainey. They are believed to be the
first ever brought to this country for
work in the field.
The trainer said that the medieval
sport of falconry is being revived
abroad and that Mr.. Rainey was not
the first American sportsman to show
a sympathetic interest.

The art of handling chickens, and

ter of no small concern nor of easy
accomplishment. The vicious practice
of "shooing" with arms gesticulating
is not only trying to the nerves of
both bird and operator, but it often
leads to a loss of temper and severe
words. The aim should be to quietly

Fish Thief Had Wings.

York, Pa.-The disappearance of
some Of the finest fish from a private
pond owned by Price Whitaker, at
Delta, led him to keep watch with his
shotgun for the poaching fisherman.
He was greatly surprised to see 3
great blue heron flap down and begf-
stabbing the fish with its beak. Whit
taker shot the heron, which stood 5
feet high and measured 5 feet 10
inches from tip to tip of it's wings.

Shipping Live Poultry.

Two things should be observed in
shipping live poultry. First, the birds
should have plenty of room, and, Sec
ond, plenty of air. The crates should
be large and partitioned so the birds
will not all be thrown into one end.
The Stats on the crate should be only
close enough together to prevent the
birds from escaping.
