the Attic verb "eon," meaning to heave

was thrown In merely to disguise its real
meaning.

eddy popular throughout this country,
and is considered one Of the most
profitable varieties to keep. These
ducks are said to have come originally
from the city Of Rouen, in Normandy
It Is known that large quantities Of
poultry are raised in Normandy, and
while there may be no positive proof
that these ducks came originally
from that city, large numbers of birds
closely resembling them are to be
found in the market places there.
Some writer's claim that the name
should be Roam" owing to their
color, but really the color itself does
not support this contention.
The Rouen duck is a fine market
bird. but does not mature as early as
does the Pekin or the Aylesbury. The
flesh is considered very delicate and
the breed is acknowledged to be ex-
cellent for table purposes, being easily
fattened. The Rouen will be found a
profitable bird to raise on the farm

sition, and Of very beautiful plumage.

NEW POULTRY FARM STARTED
1t eeltsvIiis, Md.-Manassd
Upon Practical Lines,

SO important has the poultry in
dustry become that Uncle Sam has
started q second experimental poultry
farm on his own account. He wants
to find out what are the best breeds
and what Is the best treatment and
management to make them most
profitable. He will not trust to the
experimental work by the state Of
Maine. New York, Ohio or any other
He will have It done under his own
supervision. 90 that no mistakes will
be made.
His new poultry farm is located at
Beltsville. Md. some 10 miles out Of
Washington and beyond the Maryland
experiment station at College Park.

Of animal husbandry along practical
down-to-date plans. and the equipment,

the Pekin, and are diverse in color.
The Rouen is undoubtedly closely
related to the MalIard duck; its
plumage alone would make good this
belief. But the shape of the domesti-
Gated Rouen duck has been greatly
modified from that of the wild NAL
lard, the body is grown longer and
heavier. with a tendency to drop down
in the rear, the wings have lost the
power of flight which the wild an
cestor possessed. The plumage, how
ever. remains almost the same.
Both the drake and duck clothed in
plumage attractive and pleasing to the
eye, are as much fancier's fowls as any
of the varieties of chickens, yet they
are Of much value as market birds.
The only objection to them. aside from
their slow maturing qualities, is that
Of dark pinfeathers. This should not
stand against them any more than it
does against the many valuable varie-
ties Of chickens that have dark plum
age and dark pinfeathers. To the far.
mer who intends raising ducks for
market purposes they are to be recon-
mended.

WHY THE HOG Is THE GREAT
EST MONEY.MAkER

A subscriber writes in and asks,
why is it that we claim that the hog
is the greatest money-makcr Of all
farm animals?
This statement Is not often ques-
toned. 1t is acknO wledged ty most
people who have given it any COLI
sideration.
The hog is an economical cog in
the farm operation. He is con-
server Of waste, cleaner in the
fields. A helper of the farmer in
adding to his bank balance.
Because of his saving qualities, no
has been denominated as The gen-
tleman that pays the rent for the
householder; tho mortgage litter for
the farmer"
In the past he was adopted by the
farmers of the corn and hog belt as
the only feasible way of marketing
the corn crop. Being turned into the
field and fattened, this was known
as "hogging the corn thus saving
all of the labor Of gathering, storing
and feeding out again.
At times, when the wheat crop was
an overproduction and the prices
were down below the 50-cent mark at
the farm, the hog was used to market
wheat.
He has done his part in converting
the by-product of the dairy and
creamery into a merchantable article
through his stomach. The feeder of
g. bunch of steers follows them with
drove Of hogs that are fattened OH
the undigested corn fed the steers.
Hogs take care of the bi-product Of
distilleries, beet sugar plants, Of the
garbage Of the cities and CT many
other factories where food products
for human beings are manufactured.
In Texas and several Southern
States they inform us that hey can
make pork at two cents a pound on
peanuts, and more pounds per acre
than they can with a crop of corn,
letting the pigs do their own picking
or digging, as you please to call it.
The hogs can convert kaffir corn,
milo maize, COW peas and soy beans
into choice pork that can be cashed
every day in the year. :. :. >.
Then, again, he is a forager; he
can grow on alfalfa and clover and
several other kinds of pastures, but
especially is he adapted to converting
alfalfa into lean pork and when bal
anced properly makes one of the ideal
feeds for pork production at the
cheapest possible cost.
Then, again, while the sheep, cows
and horses will increase from 60 to
100 per cent annually, the hog will
increase from 500 to 1000 per cen!
annually. He can be turned into the
market as quick as a crop of grain.
These are some of the reasons why

money-maker of the farm animals
