ducks eggs that we have ever eaten,
and as rule, they bring higher
prices in the market.
The ducklings reach a marketable
size when about twelve weeks old.
When forced, they will weigh four to
five pounds at two months.
The meat of the Runner Is OF su
perior quality; fine in the grain, juicy,
and excellent flavor. Hotels and res.
taurants pay fancy prices for duck
ltngs.
The eggs are in good demand, also.
In winter when eggs are high the In
dian Runner is ION the job" Any
enterprising person can work up a
trade among hotels and restaurants
that should prove highly profitable.
There is no great danger of strong
competition, as comparatively few
poultry raisers have taken up this
branch OF the industry, notwithstand'
ing the fact that nearly all kinds OF
poultry products are bringing un.
heard-of prices In the open market.
In summer the Indian Runner when
given free range will find the greater
part OF his living In the fields. But OF
course when being fattened for mar.
ket, they need some grain. 1t would
be we'll to say right here that for best
results the grain should be either
ground or cooked.
