CELERY AS DUCK FOOD
Winter Buds and Root Stocks
Are ReliShed Best.
Plant Is Wholly Submerged With Long,
Flexible, Ribbon-Like Leaves Of
Light Translucent Green
Flowers Are Peculiar.
- 81. y lrATEE.l

The names wild celery and canvas
back duck have been closely associat-
ed in the annals Of American sport
To a certain extent this association
is justified, since the canvas back OBJ
tains about one-fourth Of its food from
this plant-a greater proportion than
any other duck. However, the asser-
ton that the favor OF the canvasback
is superior to that OF any other duck
and that it depends on a diet Of wild
celery is not proved, 10 say the least.
The scaups OF bluebills and the red
head also are very fond OF Wild eel
cry, and are fully as capable Of get
ting the delicious buds as the canvas
back. Several other ducks get more
or less Of this food, the writer finding
that even the scoters on a northern
lake in fall lived almost exclusively on
it for a time. All parts Of the plant
are eaten by ducks but the tender
winter buds and root stocks are rel
ished best Wild celery buds can usu-

eUINEAS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Young Birds Must Be Watched Care
fully Until Past Tender Age-of
Very Wild Nature.

Guinea hens are among the hardest
Of all birds to breed, chiefly because
the young guinea is so extremely ten
der. They are also Of a very wild
nature, and when one Of them is lost
from the hen it may be counted as
lost. It is advisable to keep the young
guineas shut up for a few days after
they are hatched and feed them on
bread crumbs, coarse corn meal and
occasionally a hard-boiled egg, ground
fine and mixed with the bread crumbs.
After they leave the hen, If the days
are warm and bright, they are allowed
to hunt bugs and worms and require
little feeding. After they are feath-
cred out they need little care, as they
are able to shift for themselves until
the winter cuts of their supply Of
food.
In winter they must have a shelter
and be fed the same as other poultry,
but must be kept shut in when there
is snow on the ground, as they viii
fly into the tops OF trees or on roofs
OF buildings. and refuse to come down.

baldpate and the geese get an occa-

upon the leaves.
Wild celery is a wholly submerged
plant with long, flexible, ribbon-like
leaves Of light translucent green and
of practically the same width (any-
where from one-fourth to three
fourths of an inch, from root to tip,
This plant may be distinguished from
the eelgrass. which lives in brackish
or salt water. by the fact that its
leaves grow in bundles from the root
stock, while those Of eelgrass arise
singly and alternate on opposite sides
Of the stem.
The flowers Of wild celery are pecu-
liar The staminate flowers attached
at the base Of the plants shed pollen,
which floats on the surface Of the wa
ter and fertilizes the pistillate flower.
The latter is attached to a long slen-
der, round stem, which contracts in
to a spiral, drawing the flower under
the water after fertilization. The
seed pod into which the pollenized
flower develops is straight or curved
a little slenderer than a common lead
pencil and from 8 to inches long. It
contains embedded in a clear Jelly
small dark seeds, in number about so
to the inch. No such pod is borne by
any other fresh water plant

Wine 60 for PouItrv.

One Of the best and most relished
winter feeds for poultry is cabbage,
says a writer in an exchange. Even
though there is an abundance Of
other green vegetable matter,
should still strive to add some cab
bage to the list
It is true that there is nothing
quite as good for the hens as a grow
ing crop, such as rye, over which they
can range and thus combine exercise
with food getting, and every effort
should be made to provide it, but
often space is too limited for such
crops. and dependence must be had
altogether on substitutes that can be
stored away.
