RESULTS IN BREEDING DUCKS
Good Plan to Run Aylesbury Drake
With Indian Runners for Produe-
tion Of Table Birds.

In making up the breeding pen car,
should be taken that the females are
matured and that the drake, though
fully grown, is a little on the small
size for his breed.
II is the ducks which impart size to
the progeny and the male bird the
shape and style, so that large-framed
ducks should be mated with medium
sized brakes.
There is a good first cross-Pekin
Aylesbury. which produces large
healthy ducklings, but which do moi
mature so rapidly as the pure Ayles
bury stock; still. considering that the
Aylesbury ducks must have a fairly
sheltered position II they are to do as
well as early breeders, the above cross
might be chosen with advantage wher
breeding is to be carried on in bleak
and unsheltered situations.
II Is a good plan to run an Ayles
bury drake with Indian Runners fol
the production OF passable table birds
and then to remove the drake and
replace him with one OF their owr
breed for the production OF pure
breeds for egg production.
The proper sheltering OF breeding
ducks is OF the greatest importance
as the birds cannot render a good &C
count OF themselves unless housed in
structures that are damp-proof, we'll
ventilated, kept clean and well bedded
with dry litter.

The secret OF success in raising
poultry is to provide conditions as
nearly natural as possible. Such con-
ditions the farmer-poultryman is in
position to provide With unlimited
range at his disposal there is no need
for him to crowd his poultry into small
yards. Limited range encumbered
with large numbers OF division fences
makes II impossible 10 give the poul.
try yards proper cultivation. This
causes them to become filthy and in
sanitary. a condition which is respon-
sible for most poultry diseases. The
success OF poultry enterprises is usual
ly measured by the extent OF range
provided for the purpose. CONNER
cial plants which depend upon small
yards are usually short lived Better
sanitary conditions would yield the
farmer more satisfactory results.
Locating the Poultry House.
The most common mistake made in
locating the farm poultry house is that
OF placing It so close to other farm
buildings that the hens over-rdn the
latter The usual plan Of locating the
poultry house between the barns and
the dwelling house is especially dis
agreeable since II encourages the hens
10 not only overrun the barns but the
back porch Of the house as well. This
habit is encouraged by throwing the
crumbs, table scraps, etc. out from
the kitchen door. Under such condi-
tions poultry keeping is not only un-
pleasant but impractical and the read
er is urged to consider these points in
the selection OF a satisfactory site.
A low SPOT is unsuitable for a poul-
try house because surface water is apt
to accumulate and damp air always
settles In such a place. Land which
is naturally wet either because OF the
nature OF the soil or because of springy
conditions should be properly drained.
Muddy quarters cause fowls TO con-
sumo large amounts of filth. This In
addition to the dampness of such a
location results in unhealthful flocks.
There is also the probability OF the
eggs becoming dirty, resulting In an
inferior product even If thoroughly
cleaned. A wind break should be pro-
vided which will not only AFFORD pro-
lection from disagreeable winds but
furnish an abundance OF shade. II
possible the house should be located
upon south or east slope. This Is
not so important. however, as conven-
fence to other farm buildings. The To-
cation OF a poultry house ia an orchard
is ideal II the trees do nc, shade the
runs 30 that they remain dsGp.

CARING FOR GROWING STOCK
Do Not overerowd the Chicks and
Keep Up a Perpetual Fight on
VermIn-ProVIde Pure Water.

CBy T e oUIsENBURY, Hissouri)
II is an all too common habit to
think that after a chick is past the
first three weeks, II will raise Itself.
II a chick is to develop into healthy,
vigorous cockerel. or a strong. active
pullet that will shell out the eggs
next winter, II must have the best OF
feed and care throughout the entire
growing period.
Many OF the ills and much OF the
mortality among growing chicks Is
due TO overcrowding. The brooder or
coop should furnish ample room for
the little fellows to stretch them
selves out at night without coming
in contact with each other. Plenty
OF fresh air should be admitted at all
times I'm such a way that there will
be no drafts, causing the chicks TO
huddle together.
Like the poor, these little pests are
always with us, and a continual war
fare must be waged TO keep them
from exacting heavy toll Of dead,
dwarfed and stunted chicks. Watch
for head lice. Greasing lightly the
heads OF all chicks over two weeks
old with a mixture OF kerosene and
lard, equal parts, will serve either as
a preventive or cure. Also grease
lightly under the wings.
BE careful not 10 use too much
grease and oil. Application should
be repeated in about two weeks II
chicks are badly infested. For mites
paint or spray brooding quarters with
a mixture OF eight parts kerosene to
one part crude carbolic acid This
will also serve as a good disinfectant
The importance OF an abundance OF
fresh. cool. pure water cannot be
oyerestimated. Filthy drinking water
is one OF the most common causes OF
disease. and lack OF water too com,
mon cause Of unsatisfactory growth
All drinking vessels should be scald-
ed a. least once a week. In cool,
damp weather sufficient permangan-
ate OF potassium TO give the water
a deep reddish tinge will assist in
preventing colds and bowel trouble.

was to produce larger breeds with thu
beautiful color and markings Of the
Sebright and Hamburg fowls. Thus
the Silver and Gold-laced Wyan-
dottes were formed. AS fanciers'
fowls they have since maintained
much popularity and have been scat.
tered in considerable numbers to our
farms. But it remains for a later va.
riety. the White Wyandotte, to gain
the greatest popularity for the breed.
The Buff Wyandotte is also coming in
to recognition. AS tc color, the Laced,
White and Buff Wyandottes occupy
similar positions to the corresponding
colors in the Plymouth Rock breed.
The Wyandotte is smaller than tho
Plymouth Rock, but an equally rapid
grower. 1t is generally claimed that
the White Wyandotte will stand push
ing for rapid growth the best of any
breed. AS layers the Wyandottes seem
to rank about with the Plymouth
Rocks. but being somewhat more ac-
tive and having less tendency to over
fatness, they should be credited with g
slight advantage.

be very careful before the particular

Essentials Of q Poultry House.
Simplicity and economy In construo-
ton. perfect dryness. good light and
ventilation with due regard to COM
fort. are the essential features OF
poultry house. Expensive equipment
and artificial conditions are unnecces-
sary and undesirable. Many poultry
houses are lacking in the necessary
amount OF light and fresh air. Others
have an abundance OF these essentials
but disregard the comfort OF the stock.
Plain houses with interior fittings OF
such a nature that they can be easily
cleaned are desirable because in such
houses II is easy to destroy vermin.
Width.
Narrow poultry houses are more ex-
pensive to construct for q given
amount Of floor space than are wide
ones. besides compelling the birds to
roost near the open or muslin front
Breeding pens are sometimes built only
eight feet wide, but no house should
be less than l2 feet wide unless for
special purposes and for the former, a
house IA feet up to 20 feet wide. For
flocks OF one hundred hens a house
20 feet square is the most economical
to construct. Houses are rarely seen
wSich are wider than 20 feet.
Height.
The height Of a poultry house should
be sufficient to enable a person to
work conveniently. The wider the
house the higher the walls should be
in proportion. It is necessary to have
the rear side OF the house over four
feet six inches high unless a fat roof
is used. In houses which have their
highest side facing the south, the front
should be not less than six feet high.
The other feature which determines
the height OF the south wall is the
necessity OF admitting sufficient light.
Scratching Shed.
The modern poultry house is prod.
uct OF evolution. The artifically heated
house grew into disuse because OF
expense, and weakened vitality of the
stock This type was followed by the
excessive glass front house which gave
shed. This was brought about be
cause the need OF fresh air became ap.
parent. Various means were resorted
to to secure this condition. Lean-tos
we're added to the ends. In some
houses the roosting quarters were
placed in the back OF the house with
partitions OF muslin fronts for ventiia.
tion. the partition gave way to cur.
tain OF muslin frame which dropped
down in such way as TO enclose the
birds in a small roosting space.
