INDIAN RUNNERS.

We have been requested from
time to time to write an articia
about these ducks. We have so lar
refrained from doing so as we wish
ed to fully test their merits. Our ex-
perience has brought out the fol-
lowing. We had small bunch OF
IL ducks last year that with JUS.
ordinary care and feed gave us
1000 eggs in 100 days. This counted
all eggs. soft-shelled and ill-shaped
ones. We have found the Pencilled
Runner TO be the best layer OF the
three colors. We have also found
that laying ducks require TO be fed
a certain way and with certain
ration to give the best results. We
have found Runners to be very
easy to raise and free from disoas-
% that ordinarily trouble chicks.
While they consume more feed than
hons they lay better In proportion.
They require 10 much lens cip'o

HOW TO TELL WEAK FOWLS

In an article in the Poultry De
partment OF the current issue OF
Farm and Flreside. appears the fol-
lowing:
THE actions OF a fowl probably
best indicate It's physical condition.
The physically weak is inactive and
'dopy. and is more likely to squat
than to stand. II does not scratch or
forage actively. II is the last TO get
off the perch in the morning and
the first to go to roost at night,
and frequently is found on tn.
perch during the day. The loudness
and frequency of the crow OF the
female. is reliable indication OF the
strength. The weak fowl seldom
crows or sings and is less likely to
do so when In the presence of a
strong individual OF the same sex
Calamity on the part OF the male
is shown in his generosity and con-
sideration toward the females. as
indicated by his calling them and
giving them the tenderest morsels
to eat. This is one of the surest in
dications OF physical vigor on the
part OF the male The shape OF the
body is closely related to the health
and physical vigor OF the Individual.
The deep. thick, compact body. with
large fluff. shows greater vigor than
the slender. long-jointed. more deli
cate body OF the same variety. This
is particularly noticeable in cont
pairing the strong and the weak
males. There is an interesting cor-
relation between the various parts
OF a fowl. which is one of the safest
guides In selecting fowls on the
basis OF vigor. For example. fowl
of low vitality is likely to have u
long. thin beak and head; long. thin
thighs and shanks; long. thin toes.
The reverse is true of the physically
strong"

Aayantages Of Barn Husklng.

We begin husking corn in the
field as soon as 1t is dry enough in
the fall. and continue until enough
has been husked to start us on the
winter. The remainder is drawn t.
the barn and husked out there dur
ing the winter.we employ this latter
method with increasing favor. and
each year finds US leaving large
amount for winter husking in the
barn. 1t is we'll. however. to do SONS
husking in the fall during nice
weather, as this gives a reserve in
both the fodder and husked corn
in case bad weather should delay

Though quite low in feeding v1;u-
we assign corn-fodder prominent
place in our winter feeding stuff
Highly carbonaceous. it is an econ
omic feed where a wide nutritive
ration is desired. as with fuIl-grown
male breeding animals or the scrub
team that is roughed through the
winter and requires only a main
tenance ration. Where very succu-
lent feeds are used, corn-fodder. us
a roughage, adds consistency to tho
manure, making it much easier to
handle. For these reasons we believe
corn-fodder well worth rigid meth
DDS of preservation.
Weathering from the time of cut
ting to that of husking greatly inn
pairs the fodder around the outside
of the corn-shock. When husked in
the field. this injured fodder is
mingled with that on the inside of
the shock and then set up in a fod-
der-shock, where large amount OF
the bright. good fodder comes on
the outside of the shock, exposed to
the deleterious effects of the wealth
er until hauled in. When the corn
shock Is drawn to the barn and
husked, THIS latter loss Is oDviateu.
When we husk in the barn, tn

seldom the case. we wish to hoist II

In throwing the corn up in piles

together and collected for feed.
For several years we have been
constructing temporary crib on
the barn floor for winter husking.
The loads of corn were drawn along
one side of this and. as husked, the
ears were tossed directly into the
crib Most OF our feeding is done in
or near the barn, so the convenience
of frequently replenished supply
Of corn so near at hand is worth
much. Furthermore, the major por-
ton of the labor attendant upon
hauling and cribbing corn is elm
mated.
Barn husking. moreover. allows
the farmer to devote more of his
time in the fall to ditehing and
such work as is impossible to per-
form in the winter. and then. when
cold weather makes outside work
disagreeable, the corn husking may
be done inside the warm barn.
BY thus more equally distributing
the farm work throughout the year.
much trouble is obviated by retain
ing the farm help during the win
ter period. when otherwise It would
be unavailable.
