Duck raising has been developed
within the last twenty-five years into
fiourishing industry. Prior to that
lime the duck was not considered a
profitable fowl to raise: its flesh was
never priced very highly by the
masses. Ducks were raised without
,onstraint in waterways. feeding most
y on fish and water insects. This
gave the flesh a strong fishy flavor.
hence 1t was not particularly sought
after. save by the few who were par
ial to that class of diet.
The duck centers of Long Island
and New England were then produc-
ing limited number each season. and
Il was with difficulty that these were
sold with profit. In fact, one of the
most prominent duck raisers may be
quoted as saying that he was obliged
70 visit the city markets personally
and tease the dealers to purchase his
birds, in order to secure anything like
satisfactory prices.

been instrumental in the development

,bled the duck raiser TO accomplish
ais ambition OF having his stock in
he markets when prices are the best.
and also OF raising a large number OF
birds in a limited space of time.
The season for raising ducks is
