MAKE MONEY OUT OF DUCKS
Birds Can Be Made Profitable Source
of Revenue to Farmers Who Give
Attention to Work.

/ consider that ducks may be made
a profitable source Of evenu to farm
ers who give careful attention to lie
work. AS knowledge increases. the
scope Of operations may be extended.
The beginner should start modestly
and increase his plants as his knowl-
edge widens, says a writer in the
Orange Judd Farmer. The average
farmer has all the facilities for rails
ing a goodly number of ducks and may
with little outlay add considerable to
his income.
should have access to water to be
raised successfully. In my experience
| find they grow and thrive as read
lily without as with 1t. There are
plenty of successful plants where
thousands of ducks are raised an
nually without water excepting for
drinking. 1t has been a matter of
much dispute as to which is the best
way to grow ducks. All raisers allow
their breeders the freedom of a pond
or stream. Others allow their grow
ing stock intended for market free
access to water until they are eight
weeks old, when the birds are penned
and fattered. On the other hand
there are raisers who have no water
excepting that from wells. They are
just as successful and raise as many
birds as those who have the water.
The only noticeable difference be-
tween upland and water ducks is that
the latter have prettier and cleaner
plumage.

to keep the old hens that are relative

deprive himself of the valuable serv-

erS.
Many chicken raisers have begun
to appreciate this fact, and have
sought a solution of the problem
through the adoption of several meth
DDS. the most common being to mark
the birds with leg bands of aluminium
or composition metal, fastened around
the leg in various ways.
This system. though satisfactory
enough, demands more labor than
most farmers care to give. A more
practical method is to punch the web
of the chicks feet when 1t is newly
Matched. The operation Is simple.
and quickly performed.
The accompanying diagram. suggest
ed by the bureau of animal industry. H.
Illustrates a system by which 16 comb
nations of toe-marking are possible.
If only one mark be employed for all
chicks Matched in a given year, no
farmer will find it necessary to use
more than three or four marks. To
show ages mare closely, all 16 might
be found useful.

Cement Talk No. z

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story OF
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss Of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by fire in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and fire
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in ffmy, non.frxproJ
building contraction. Experience has proved
that hreproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries freproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. Thu
use of cement in building is ID becoming more
and more common due to its freproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of UniveryaI Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure eemsnt of the
best quality possible to manufacture. Unizxr-
sai is handled everywhere by the best dealers.
