CHAPTER XIV.
A Lost Raalment,


1t was q bright, sunshiny gay in
early spring. Birds were sweetly sing
ing in the trees lining the road I was
travelling. must have shown my late
illness greatly, for the few met, as
I tramped slowly onward, mostly SOL
diers, gazed at me curiously, as If they
mistook me for the ghost of some
dead comrade: and doubt not my
pale face, yet bearing the deep imprint
of pain. with the long. untrmmed hair
framing it, and the blood.stained,
ragged uniform, the same wore that
fierce day of battle, rendered me an
object of wonder.
All through those long. weary win
ter weeks l had been lowering be-
tween life and death in an obscure
hospital at Richmond. The moment
the door was opened to permit of my
passing forth into the world again. l
sought eagerly to discover the present
station Of my old comrades in arms,
yet could learn only that the cavalry
served was in camp somewhere near
Appomattox Court House. On foot
and moneyless, l set of alone, my sole
anxiety to be once more with friends;
and now. at the beginning Of the Sec
ond day, was already beyond Peters
burg, and sturdily. pushing westward.
AS the road swerved slightly to tho
left, passing through grove Of hand
some trees, l came suddenly opposite
= large house Of imposing aspect. A
group Of Confederate oflicers stood in
converse beside the gate leading into
the open driveway. and a. l paused .
moment, gazing at them and wonder
ing whom had better address-for I
recognized none Of the faces fronting
me-one among the group turned sud
denly, and took hurried step in my
direction, as though despatched upon
an errand Of Importance. He was =
tall, slender man, wearing long gray
moustache and I no sooner viewed
his face than I recognized him as
having been one Of those officers pres
ent in General Lees tent the day l
was sent out with dispatches. He
glanced at me curiously, yet with no
sign Of recognition, but before he
could pass 7 accosted him.
Colonel Maitland" I said. ::you
doubtless remember me. I am seek
ing my old command; would you kind.
ly inform me where It may be found? ?"
He stopped instantly at sound Of my
voice. and stared at me in odd be-
wilderment: but my words had al.
ready reached the ears Of the others,
and before he had found an answer
another voice spoke sternly What is
all this? Who are you, sir? What
masquerade puts you into that parody
of captains unifQrm?"

difference between upland and water
ducks is that the latter are of pref
tier and cleaner plumage than the
former.
A duck plant should be located on
a line of railroad In direct communi-
cation with the city markets, and not
too far from the station. Almost any
location will do for the plant, and
WORKOUT land that can be had cheap
will do as we'll as the richer and more
fertile land costing several times as
much. Sandy soil is to be preferred.
The buildings should be arranged to
secure good drainage and be convent

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 at
fairs. They are built plain and COM

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 flelih 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.

CBy GEORGE Il. HowARD)

| 10y GbOt1k - hhOVHAsD'
Duck raising has been developed
within the last twenty-five years into
nourishing industry. Prior to that
time the duck was not considered a
profitable fowl to raise; its flesh was
never priced very highly by the
masses. Ducks were raised without
constraint in waterways, feeding most
~ on fish and water insects. This
gave the flesh a strong fishy flavor,
hence It 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
II 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
recommended to farmers as a profit
able source of revenue; and by care
ful attention to the work, as knowl-
edge increases, the scope of the in
dustry may be extended.
There are a number OF farms In this
country today that are devoted exclu-
sively to raising ducks, averaging
from 5000 to 10000 ducks as an an
nual output. An idea of the proper
lions Of the business may be had from
the fact that as high as three tons of
feed are used daily by a 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
the conclusion that these results can
be easily obtained. Duck raising is
an arduous task-one that requires an
apprenticeship and absolute knowl-
edge of the business before success is
reached. Those who have been sue
cessful in raising ducks have learned
the business much as one does any
other vocation. The beginner should
start modestly, and increase his plant
as his knowledge Of the work in
creases
The average farmer has all the ia
cilities for raising goodly number of
ducks, and may, with little outlay,
add considerably to his income
It is not at all necessary that ducks
have access to water to be raised sue
cessfully, for they grow and thrive
as readily without. There are sue
cessful plants where thousands of
