A duck plant properly located and
well managed Is considered one OF the
best paying propositions connected
with the poultry industry. DUCK
raising is to be recommended to farm
ers, therefore, as a profitable source OF
revenue. There are a great NUMBER Oh
farms in this country today that are
devoted exclusively to raising DUCKS
averaging from 5000 to $4,000 ducks as
an annual output. An. idea of the mag
nitude of the business done on these
plants can be had from the fact that
as high as three tons of feed are used
daily on a single duck plant, during
the busy season. The profits are large,
but the principle must be Thoroughly
mastered before the would-be duck
man Jumps imprudently to the conclu-
sion that these great results are easily
obtained.
Duck raisiag is an arduous task.
The successful duck man has started
at the beginning and gradually de-
veloped his plant as he gained expert
Ience and knowledge.
The average farmer has all the ia
cilities for raising ducks, and with
little outlay can add considerably to
his income.
Locating a Duck Plant.
A duck plant should be located on q
line of railroad, in direct communlca-
ton with a good market. Any old
worn out soil will do, sandy soil pre-
ferred. The buildings should be ar
ranged to secure good drainage anu
placed conveniently.
Every department of the plant
should be so located as to economic n
labor. The incubator cellar should be
convenient to the brooder house, then
comes the growing pens, the killing
house, etc.
Water for Ducks.
The breeding ducks do much better
| if they have access to a pond of water
during the breeding season. The eggs
are more fertile. The growing ducks
do not need any such pond, but
should be given plenty of water to
drink.
Houses for Ducks.
Houses for ducks are simple affairs
They are built plain and comfortable
and have no furnishings whatever.
A duck is differently constituted
from a hen, and must be cared for
differently.
The hen needs warmer and drier
surroundings than does the duck. The
duck can stand any amount of cold II
she can keep her feet warm. The
! feathers on the duck will withstand
almost any degree of cold. duck
will not stand confinement like a hen
Ducks active exercise keeps them
generally in good health.
The house for ducks should be con
Portable. The duck likes water, but
not in dampness in the house. A
house 12x14 feet will accommodate a
/ flock of a dozen ducks.
! No fixtures are necessary in the
house. No roosts or nests. Some dc
have nests. but more than half the
eggs will be found out on the floor
rather than in nests.
The eggs are laid very early in the
morning The breeding ducks should
| be confined till they have laid and Their
! liberated in their enclosed wire run
with access to the pond or stream. II
the accompanying sketch, a duck plan
is shown with the house and runway'
showing several flocks of ducks.
The floors in the duck house can bs
either dirt or board covered with straw

of duck eggs will be taken up under

Largest Ever Appraised.

New York, June 13.-The es
tate Of Col. john Jacob Astor,
who persisted in the Titantic
disaster, was officially appraised
this afternoon at close to $685..
100000, Of which Vincent Aston
received $67, 864, 1913, Mrs. Made
line Force Astor S7,679,896 Mu.
riel Astor S,956,768 and John
Jacob Aston, son by his second
marriage, S2,9222,672.
The estate is declared to be
the largest ever appraised in
this country. The cost of de-
termining it's value was made
remarkably low owing to an
understanding by which the AS
tor estate bore onehalf the ex-
penses and the State Of New
York the other half. This made
it unnecessary for each side to
employ experts with a possibili-
ty of having to engage neutral
appraisers in event OF a disa.
greement.
Aside from the announcement
of the amounts that revert to the
heirs, there are two features OF
special interest in the appraisal.
One is the affidavit of the ex-
aminers that the property en-
braced in the antenuptial agree
ment for Mrs. Ava Willing AS
tor, amounting to about 5, 73o, 900.
which Was to revert to her at
