likely to develop among at least few
of your fowls, and it should be nipped

has earned the name of "the Leghorn

As a utility fowl the true Penciled
Runner stands well in the lead, and
as other varieties have usually been
made from this one they. too, are prov.
ing their worth, when given a chance.
II is fortunate that we have at least
one breed that has demonstrated itself
as a layer, and for that reason is kept
more for utility than show. This
makes the Runner duck a farmers
bird.
The Australian and New Zealand
egg records are among the proud
achievements of those countries, and
are a wonderment to many poultry
men. In referring TO these records,
the breeder of Penciled Runners gets
much consolation. for some OF the best
egg records OF those countries have
been made by this duck. In fact. the
Penciled Runner has won over the
hustling little Leghorn there.
In Australia the Utility club has
egg-laying contests of great interest.
Ducks and other fowl from that con.
tinent and New Zealand compete In
these contests, and the rivalry is even
greater than in our fancy shows in

is held by one of those New Zealand
Runners. This duck laid 800 eggs in
