Pigs Testimony Wins Case in Court

away, Shaw saw big hog with pecu-
liar spots on his leg that he recognized
as belonging to the sick pig of last
spring, and he claimed him. Evans re-
fused to give up the pig and suit was
brought. The court decided In favor
of Evans.
Then Shaw asked a rehearing of the
case and proposed to take the hog into
his feeding lot. where there was a
large number OF other hogs. He pro-
posed to go into. the adjoining COW
yard and rattle tin dishl The owner.
ship OF the hog was to be decided on
whether it made dash for the hole
in fence, far too small now to admit
OF its passing through.
All Quindaro gathered around Shaw's
hog lot to see the trial. Justice Pfaff
took station where he could see the
whole show. The pig was placed in
the lot with the drove of hogs belong
ing to Shaw, who then went into the
adjoining lot with a tin pan In his
hand.
At a signal from Justice Pfaff Shaw
ratified the tin pan. The pig let out a
couple OF kinks in his tail and started
for the hole in the fence on a run.
1t was barely big enough for the hog
to insert his nose, but he struggled to
get through and go to his old feeding
place in the COW yard. There was a
cheer from the crowd. even the Evans
faction joining. and Justice Pfaff
promptly reversed his previous ruling
and awarded the pig to Shaw.

By GEORGE E. HowARpl

Duck raising has been developed
within the last twenty-five years. into
fiourishing industry. Prior to that
time the duck was not considered
profitable fowl to raise; its flesh was
never priced very highly by the
masses. Ducks were raised without
constraint in waterways, feeding most
ly on fish and water insects. This
gave the flesh strong fishy flavor,
hence 1t was not particularly sought
after. save by the few who were par
tial to that class Of diet.
The duck centers OF Long Island
and New England were then produc-
ing limited number each season. and
It 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
to visit the city markets personally
and tease the dealers to purchase his
birds, in order to secure anything like
satisfactory prices.
Artificial incubation and brooding,
combined with judicious feeding, have
been instrumental in the development
Of the Industry. Machinery has en-
abled the duck raiser to accomplish
his ambition Of having his stock IN
the markets when prices are the best,
and also OF raising large number Of
birds in limited space of time.
The season for raising ducks is
about six months-from February to
July, inclusive. Duck raising Is to be

edge increases, the scope of the in
dustry may be extended
There are number of farms in this
country today that are devoted exclu-
sively to raising ducks, averaging
from 5000 to 10000 ducks as an an.
nuai output. An idea OF the proper
tons of the business may be had from
the fact that as high as three tons of
feed are used daily by single raiser
during the busy season. The profits
are the very best. and good incomes
may be made when once the business
Is thoroughly mastered.
But the reader should not Jump to
tie conclusion that these results can
be easily obtained. Duck raising is
ar arduous task-one that requires an
apprenticeship and absolute knowl-

much. Sandy soil is to be preferred.
The buildings should be arranged to
secure good drainage and be convent
ent to each ether. that labor may be
reduced to a minimum. The labor
attached to raising poultry is an item
that is overlooked by many. and the
cost of 1t often reduces very notably
the earnings of the plant.
Houses for ducks are simple af.
fairs. They are built plain and COM
Portable. and have no furnishings
whatever. A duck is differently con-
stituted from hen. and must be
cared for under different conditions.
The hen needs warmer houses and
drier surroundings than does the
duck. A duck will not mind the cold
IL she can keep her feet warm. Cold
feet will affect a duck as frozen
comb does hen. retarding laying and
inducing ailments. The feathers of
duck are almost impenetrable and win
Withstand almost any degree Of cold.
A duck cannot stand the amount OF
confinement in a house that a hen
can; she IS more restless In disposi-
ton and is given to exercise in 4
greater degree than is hen. Indi.
gestion is not so prevalent with ducks
as with chickens; the ducks cease.
less motion aids the digestive organs
and keep her generally in good health.
The duck raisers on Long Island
use large quantities of fish for their
breeding stock.
This is known as the fish diet"
and is considered as being very valu-
able to induce egg production. Where
fish are cheap they form an excellent
substitute for beef scraps in the ra-
lions for breeding ducks or ducks not
intended for market. but under no
circumstances should fish be fed to
stock that will be marketed. Fish
makes the flavor of the flesh strong.
and ducks fed on fish will not have
ready sale in the market When fish
is used the beef scraps are omitted
from the ration.

EXPORTING the Ducks,

There are two tiny boys In this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request. and as she is an ardent
church woman. the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The
other day they were playing with their
wooden ducks In the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks were more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts to keep the misguided ducks
straight the older boy shouted:
Stand up, duck, stand up!" Then
two-year-old. noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex,
horted. "'Tand up. duck. 'Tand up

practice has much to do with crooked
backs.
However. It is well known that the
deformity Is easily transmitted from
a male or female, and for this reason
II is best not to breed from cock or
hen that shows the slightest deform-
ity. Many people breed from a rooster
that may have lost his comb. or had
q badly deformed foot or a dropping
wing. just because he comes from
good stock and is large and robust.
1t is poor policy, however. because
he is very apt to transmit his deform.
ity to his progeny.
To prevent crooked backs always
have the openings of the coops 90
the young chicks may pass in and out
easily, breed from perfectly sound
birds. and place roosts low. SO that
growing pullets and cockerels may
not be injured flying up and down.
