SUCCESS IN RAISING DUCKS.
One Should Have Roomy Yard With
Poultry Nsttins-ExpensIvs
House Not Needed.

To be successful in raising ducks
one should have roomy yard en-
closed with poultry netting. The net
ting need not be over two feet wide.
Ducks should not be allowed to run
at large over the premises; they will
ruin a flower or vegetable garden In
a short time, but are not detrimental
In the small fruit garden.
II is not necessary to have q fine.
expensive house for ducks. but 1t
should be dry and furnished with dry
litter for roosting.
II is not necessary TO furnish swim
ming water for them, but they must
have drinking water In plenty. A
swimming place for the breeders will
result In q higher percentage OF fer
tile eggs and also In stronger duck
lings. This is why II pays to use great
care In selecting breeders. Use only
birds with long bodies. thick, short
legs. yellow bills and feet and bright
eyes.

that this same land will support at
least 10 people when placed under
cultivation.
These conditions force the produc-
tion of beef upon the farms. and per-
haps no more important subject for
study is pressing upon the American
farmer. Breeding and feeding market
cattle may, and probably will not be
conducted upon the extensive scale OF
former years, but each farmer will
raise a small number which, in the
aggregate, will satisfy all market re-
Quirements. And then there will
come the necessity OF breeding better
animals, as these only will be profita-
BILE under farm conditions, and this.
In turn, will mean better quality
of beef on the market.

make a half team for general farm
work. The writer has a team Of
young mares of nearly the same size

Of them reared a colt now worth at
least $75. while the other mare work
Ing by her side has reared none. The
mare with the colt has done exactly
the same work as the mare which
has no colt and now at the close OF
the early summers work she Is In as
good condition as her mate. with both
on the same feed and care.
A colt, Of course, Is some bother
and consumes some feed. The same
is true In growing any domestic AMI
mails. But with little patience In
the handling Of the mare and foal, a
mare doing general farm work should
raise two colts every three years and
do about as well as with none. The
colt will represent at least 100 per
cent profit on the money and labor In
vested In 1t.
In fact, so little extra care and feed
are required that the young animal
can be grown without noticing the
feed II consumes.

EARLIEST OF SWEET PEPPERS
Plants Require Rather Light, Well
Drained Soil, and They Must Be
Kept Growing From start.

Perhaps the earliest variety IL the
Neapolitan. II well grown plants are
set out early they will produce fine
fruit In June. The fruit nrst turns 10
light yellow and then to q brilliant
scarlet.
The Ruby King. the Bull Nose, or
Sweet Bell are fne peppers. They are
blunt nosed, round and about two or
three inches long. The Ruby King is
a little larger than the Bull Nose and
its flesh Is very mild and sweet.
These plants grow about three feet
high and are not easily blown down.
The largest variety Is the Chinese
Giant. The flesh is thick and sweet
and can be eaten raw.
Peppers require rather light, well
drained soil, and they must be kept
growing from the start. II the growth
is checked by cold weather or lack Of
moisture they will not mature well.
When the plants show two or three
leaves In seed bed transplant In small
cans or flower pots, and again trans

passed and, In fact, not until the
weather becomes quite warm. Place
