SUMMERTIME DAIRY RATION
BY Supplying Supplemental Feeds
Each Pasture VIII Satisfy Greater
Number Of Cows.
CBy NJ. ALBREcHT.)

-
BY feeding the cows we'll during the
summer, we have many points TO be
considered.
Each pasture lot will keep a greater
number OF cows In prime condition
and profitably. The pasture land will
not deteriorate in value as It would
II overstocked.
We consider that the cows that are
kept In excellent shape throughout the
summer months by supplying them
with both grass and dry rations will
not consume such large quantity of
either as they would II fed on a single
ration OF grass.
When winter feeding sets in the
cows will have become more thor
oughly accustomed to eating grain and
roughage and there will need to be no
change In the feeding-just a slight
increase in the quantity with no bad
effects brought on as is usually the
case when the change OF feed is made
from grass to heavier rations.

RAISING OF MUscOvY DUCK
Fowls Have Several Peeuliaritles
Which Make Them Distinct From
others-MaIe 10 Pugnacious.
(By G. A. HowARD.)


.Muscovy ducks form a distinct
genus. having several peculiarities
which make them different from 9TH
ers. They are sometimes called the
musk duck. owing to the odor Of
musk which pervades the skin, but
which Is not noticeable when cooked.
In Brazil they are extensively domes-
ticated and are priced very highly for
eating. In this country and Europe,
particularly In Germany, they are bred
in large numbers. Wild muscovies
are easily frightened and very good
flyers; they fly into trees when
alarmed and remain there for long
periods Of time before leaving their
place OF concealment. They some
times build their nests in branches OF
trees, and also In hollows near water.
Muscovy ducks are very unsatisfac-
tory birds to keep on the farm with
other poultry, owing to their quarrel
some and pugnacious natures. In the
wild state, the males fight desperately,
doing great harm to each other; and
this fighting, quarrelsome disposition
Is inherited by the domestic duck. The
temper Of the drake is spoken OF as
abominable his persecution of other
poultry is never ceasing, and he is
credited with having attacked even
children when his "dander was up
The flesh OF the muscovy is considered
very good when they are young, and
compares favorably with that OF any
other duck. They do not lay nearly
so many eggs as the common kinds

must be clipped to keep them from
