MULE BREEDING ON INCREASE
Hardy Animals Are In Constant De-
rnand Over Much Wider Territory
Than Ever Before.

It is estimated that rs per cent. OF
the mares bred last year were mated
with jackasses.
There is a perfect furor for mule
breeding. Mules are in constant de-
mand over q much wider range OF ter
ritory than heretofore.
Mule foals bring as high as 1926 at
weaving time, and none OF them sell
cheap, quality of mare and foal con-
sidered.
That such breeding will result in a
shortage of breeding mares even for
mule raising, there can be no doubt
There is tendency already to price
mares much higher than geldings-
Mule raising is hard on mares and
wears them out sooner than sucking
horse foals.

To begin with, they are very prolific

are small feeders - compared with
other ducks.
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 market, they need some grain. It
would be well to say right here that
for best results the grain should be
either ground or cooked.
A great many would-be duck rails
ers fail because they insist upon feed
ing the duck. both old and young.

The matured birds can get along.
but the young ones most certainly
cannot. Don't try to raise ducklings
on whole wheat, cracked corn and
chick feed" They simply cannot
digest it. About the only kind of grit
that young duck will eat Is sand,
and whole or cracked grain requires
something sharper than sand to- grind
1t.
Those who have Indian Runner
duck would do well to keep them over
winter and see what they will do to-
ward keeping the egg basket filled
when biddy is on a strike. Begin by
culling out all the surplus brakes and
undersized specimens. 1t is not a
good plan to keep closely related
birds One drake for every seven or
eight ducks is about right
brakes may be kept for seven
years, but ducks will not lay so well
when Of that age. Few duck raisers
care to keep old brakes unless they
happen to be high-priced birds.
In many sections, Indian Runner
ducks are so scarce that food speci-
mems bring almost any price asked.
A house 1920 feet, with yard at

40 ducks to stay in at night. and dur
