(By ANNA GALLIGHER)
During the past 10 years we have
been raising and marketing ducks
keeping several different breeds; but
were long ago convinced that the I'm
periai Pekin is the market duck par
excellence.
AS a general-purpose duck we like
the Rouen; and for eggs alone, the
Runner stands at the head of the list
There are two varieties of Pekins-
the. small, or medium-sized white duck
SO often seen around farmyards, and
the large kind known as the Imperial
Pekin; the latter being only a little
smaller than the common goose. and
having beautiful cream-colored plum.
age. This is the variety of Pekins
kept by the larger breeders in the
East.
A common mistake, especially among
farmers. Is that ducks and chickens
are fed and housed together, the re-
suit being lot of half-starved speci-
mems which have bodies outstripped
In growth by beak and feet.
A Pekin duckling Will eat, at one
meal, as much as three or four chicks
OF the same age, and gain in weight in
proportion; but the food must be of
a somewhat different nature from that
required by chicks.
For instance, dry feeds, such as
wheat, cracked corn, ETC., are insult
able for ducklings, though they make
excellent feed for growing chicks. In
order to ascertain the difference in
growth pair of Pekin ducklings and
a pair Of White Wyandotte chickens
were weighed when fourteen weeks
old.
Ducks and chickens were Matched
the same day; both were we'll fed but
neither was forced. The two chickens
weighed four pounds four ounces.
while the two ducklings tipped the
scales at IA pounds.
We use both hens and incubators for
Matching. those Matched under hens
being kept for breeding stock. Our
ducklings are kept In large yards,
fenced with poultry netting, while
small Twenty-Five is the usual num-
Der for each yard and ducklings OF
different sizes are never yarded to-
gether
Each yard Is furnished with sepa-
rate house for the ducklings to sleep
In at night. These houses are cleaned
every day and fresh litter put in for
bedding. For the first week we feed
light bread lat least two days old),
crackers, corn bread, cooked rice and
rolled oats.
The bread is crumbled and either
fed dry or moistened with sweet milk.
We never confine our ducklings to
any one kind of feed, because a va
riety gives much better results.
Green food is essential at all times.
For this purpose we grow large quaint
ties of lettuce. onions and dandelions.
These are chopped and fed in addition
to grain food several times a day,
while the ducks are small

Ford Company FaUors Oil From
 Western Crude

Western Crude
 The Petroleum News, in re- cent issue. published an article on oil tests. Speaking of the Ford Company's experlence with ois, the article says:
 The Ford Company in it's huge plant at Highland Park, Detroit. maintains a well equip ed laboratory and a chemist with trained assistants. who are con- tinuaily at work trying to find the ideal motor oil for use in Ford cars.
 !" We worked for three years in our laboratory, before we found the motor oil now being used in the Ford plant said c. T. Hobart, head of the service department of the Ford Com pany.
 1" Our experiments were first made with oil made from Pennsylvania crude, said MT. Hobart. We found we had better success, however, when we used western crude. ''

State Fair Attractions


 Phoenix, Arizona, October IA. Negotiations are now under way between Secretary Shaughnessy of the State Far and Thomas w. Murphy, owner of the two great champions of the track this year -Directum l and Peter Volo, looking toward obtaining these famous horses for an exhibition at the State Fair. Correspon- dence has been in progress for some time on this and at last it has been arranged that these two famous harness kings will be secured for the Arizona State Fair. Directum l is the fastest horse on the track, having made his mark of a mile in 1:56-3 this summer, while Peter VoIo trotted in 200 flat. A race between these two animals and against time will be an event worth go- ing miles to see. With the Ari- zono State Fair Track in the customary shape it IS not at all unlikely that these two animals will better their records. One thousand dollars additional will be paid for either horse that bet ters hls own best performance.
 One of the greatest features of the Better Babies Department of the State Fair this year. will be the nursery and rest room for babies which will be under the direct supervision of the Ari- zona Congress of Mothers and which will be for the accommo- dation of Mothers at the Fair. who have babies and wish to have them cared for during their visit through the exhibition buildings or while attending the races.
 The Motorcycle bugs will have a chance at their favorite sport thls year at the State Fair, as arrangements have been made for a motorcycle race of 100 miles. which will be held on Au- tomobile Day. This race is un- der. the supervision of Craig Pottinger, who is superintendent of motorcycle sports for this years Fair. A generous purse will be hung up for this race, and this in connection with the great 150-mile auto race will pro- vide the greatest gasoline day program eyer staged in the West.
 Saturday of Fair week this year will be Automobile Day. The Fair Commission decided to do this so that the great track would not be injured for the har- ness events which take place on the days previous. But more than all is it Automobile Day be- cause the 150 mile race in which the speed kings of Amerlca will contest for S5. 1000 will be held that day. This will be the long est and best race ever held on a mile track and will doubtless es- 5ablish the record for a dirt run. The Far will end in blaze of glory on Automobile Day.

Kansas City Livestock Prices
 Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. II. 1915.

OcC. Il, 1S1O.
 Good beef cattle advan- ced somewhat last week after week after Monday, and closed the week fully steady. There was a strong demand for feeders, and they made a slight gain for the week. Plain stockers re- mained steady. Receipts after Monday were moderate. giving the market a chance to recupera- te. The Eastern embargo against live stock from Chicago is still on, and Eastern orders continue to help the market here on beef cattle. Stocker and feeder shipments to the country from here last week 42000 head, largest of the year. Receipts here today are 34OOO head. mar ket steady to 15 lower on stock CTS and feeders, of which two thirds of the supply consists. and killing grades largely 10 to 20 lower. Panhandle fed steers reached $8.75. and grass beef steers from Texas SIPS. Four teen cars of MT. Burnett's feed CTS from Canadian, Texas, sold at $7. 50, 1889 lbs average. Col orado consignments were liberal, embracing beef steers at $6- 65 to $7.OO, feeders at $7.OO to $7.15, cows $5. 40 to $5.90. A five car drove of Colorado feeders bro't $8 here last week, and a car of show feeders from Dur ango brought $8.15.
 2 Thirty cars of cattle arrived from Baker, Oregon. This train fed only twice enroute, once at Montpelier, again at Cheyenne, making the run from Cheynne to Kansas City in 35 hours, over the Unlon Pacific cutoff, from Gibbon. This string included beef steers at SIPS to ST. 40, cows at $50 to $6.50.
 Sheep receipts today were 14000 head, market strong. Fat ewes sold at $5. 75 to $6. co. Utah and Colorado lambs at $8. 60 to $8.75 Arizona ewes weighing 106 lbs at $500, feeding lambs from all the Western range states at $8 to $8.25. breeding ewes from Utah S5.75. young New Mexico breeders $7.0O. Colorado feeding ewes $5, breed ing ewes $6. The end of the range shipping season is appar- ently Tn sight. and packers are feeling the shortage this year keenly, one of the big killers here stating today that the kill of his house for the fall season at all the mar Aets was nearly 50 l per cent short of last year. Packers expect strong prices during the next three months, because of shortage, and feeder demand will continue strong as long as any feeders or breeders are available. Prospect ahead | look good for shippers.
