SWIMMING FACILITIES
DUCKS.
FOR

A visit to most Of our prominent
duck plants will disclose the fact that,
while they raise millions Of young.
green ducks for market without their
having had a days swim. yet they fur
nish swimming facilities to their
breeding ducks. This Is because
ducks naturally pair in the water, and
thus those that swim lay eggs with
higher average fertility and greater
hatchability, and the ducklings are Of
stronger vitality. better breeders and
can stand more forcing for market.
Tue great aim in market duckling
raising is to get quick, big growth
ana to keep the duck soft and Juicy.
Exercise in swimming, like other
healthful exercise, makes muscle.

kuR,os FROM koRRespoNpeNrs

q. Does changing hens from one pen
10 another affect their laying? A. II
there Is a marked difference in pens
and nests they often quit laying for a
few days, We make our pens and
nests all alike and the hens feel at
home in all Of them.
Q. Is the White Leghorn really a
nonsitter: A. 1t cannot be said Of
Leghorns that none get broody. Some
do. and the hotter the house in sum-
mer the more get the Matching fever.
but broodiness among Leghorns is as
nothing when compared to the COch-
ms. Brahmas. Rocks. Dottes, Reds and
other screeching members Of the door
knob cluck sorority.
O. Is 1t true that brassiness on
ROSTERS back is sign OF strong VI
tally? A. No.
Q. Do geese do we'll in close con-
dnement? A. No. Their eggs are
often infertile. goslings weak. it is al
most impossible to keep the pens clean
and the geese lose stamina. as they
lack exercise. cleanliness and neces-
sary vegetable food. good grass
pasture and plenty Of water for best
results and profits with geese.
Q. | notice some exhibitors feed
tallow to their show birds. Why do
they do this? A. They imagine 1t
puts gloss on the surface Of the
plumage. If a fowl is in health and
clean or washed right it needs no
grease and we doubt If such indigesti-
BILE stuff affects the plumage at all.
Q How may oats be made more d.
gestible for fowls? A. BY grinding.
hulling. clipping. scalding. soaking or
spronting When clipped the sharp
points are cut off by machinery.
