TASK OF RAISING PHEASANTS
Birds Are Farmers Friends as They
Live on Insects and Weeds
Ringnecks Are Hardy.

Ringneck pheasants are very hardy;
they live in zero weather in an open
field without shelter, and each hen
averages eighty-five eggs a season.
Eggs are hatched and raised by
chickens, and the birds mature in
six months. They weigh about three
pounds at maturity, are free from
most diseases, and live on one-tenth
Of the amount required by chickens.
Pheasants are farmers friends;
they live on insects and weed seeds.
Pheasant eggs hatch in about twenty
three days, and the birds sell at a
dollar pound in market. They are
much easier to raise than chickens.
Every law for the protection Of game
should make it lawful to keep In cap
tivity any bird for the purpose Of rails
ing birds of that kind, and provide
that any person who matches birds in
captivity may sell, ship, or otherwise
dispose of them.
England long ago saw the wisdom
Of such laws, with the result that
"a firms known as the Farmer
Associates were reported by the
Shooting Committee Field Sports
Guild to have had in the season OF
1894 in their raising pens $4,000
pheasant hens, no account being made

MAKING A SPLIT LOG DRAG
Anyone Can Make One to Cost From
Almost Nothing to $3.50, Depend
ing on Materials Used.

A subscriber in Latah county, Idaho,
asks us to give him a plan for making
a split log drag for working the roads
in his county, and also wants TO know
how TO use one. says the Western
Farmer.
The drag may be made of log, say
eight feet long and IL inches through,
split in the middle, or Of two pieces of
sawed oak or other substantial wood,
2 by inches. After log is split, CIV
ing two fat, faced slabs, bore three
two-inch holes in each slab, as shown
in drawing; connect the slabs, facing
the same direction, with three stakes
or rounded by 3s long enough to
leave three feet of space between the
slabs after the connecting pieces have
been driven into the holes. Two or
three planks can be nailed to these
pieces, affording place for the driver
to stand, and, at the same time,
Strengthening the drag. Use chain
or strong rope for attachment to the
double-tree. Supposing the drag to
race west, and assuming that chain
is used, fasten one end of the chain to
or around the left hand outside con-
Meeting brace, letting the chain pass
over the top Of the slab. II attached
to the face OF the slab, near the left
hand end, the chain would interfere
with the movement Of dirt toward that
end Of the drag. The drag is run at
an angle Of about A6 degrees. 80 that
dirt can be thrown toward one side.
The other end Of the chain must be
fastened TO the face Of the front slab

piece comes through. and not around

Mallard Ducks.

William F. Meyer a farmer liv.
ing west of St. Charles near See
burger Station. is raising wild Nal
lard ducks, and according to his
own words is very successful with
his experiment: so much so that he
says he wouldn't want any other
breed of duck on his farm.
According to MIR. Meyer. who was
in St. Charles Saturday. seven years
ago he captured a pair of wounded
mallards. He penned them up aud
took care of them until the wounds
were healed. They stayed right
about his farm that summer. He
raised several young ones that sea-
son and has added on few more

they always come back. At night

the rest of his poultry. The. hunt
ers who come from the city often
mistake his ducks for the real arti-
Gle of the chase. and several times
were almost slaughtered when he
prevented them just in the nick of
time.
Mr.Meyer says that he has added
two brakes to his flock this spring.
that lighted with the ducks on a
pond, and seemingly have made up
their minds to stay, for they are
with the flock and 60 to roost with
them every night. These domesti-
Gated Mallards are good decoys for
wild ducks. The latter will alieht
with them and continually answer
their calls in mid-air when they are
flying over the farm, Mr.. Meyer says
that wild ducks have a better taste
than domesticated ones.--St. Char
