1t is believed that the Rouen is closely
related to the Mallard duck, but its body
is longer and heavier and it cannot fly
like the Mallard. One objection is that
it is slow in maturing and also that when
plucked ii has pin feathers.
The standard weights of the Rouen are:
Drake eight pounds: young drake. seven
pounds: adult duck, seven pounds; young
duck. six pounds.
Some of the other ducks are the Cay
uga. supposed to have been first bred IN
central New York: the Call. a small duck
resembling the Mallard in color and
sometimes called the decoy duck: the
Black East India. also a bantam the
crested white ducks brought here from
Holland: the Muscovy. natives of Brazil
and Guiana. and the blue Swish ducks.
The last named gets its name from a
place called Neuvor Pommern, in west
ern Pomerania. which at the time the
ducks were discovered there belonged to
Sweden.
The Muscoyy ducks while considered
good eating and are domesticaled largely
in Brazil and are also bred extensively
in Germany. are not considered we'll in

Significance of American Work.

freedom to millions of people really held

them careful, wise and thorough super

proved efficiency, giving them only what

Forbes. He has given the FilipinOs a

pointed them to few other places
