DISQUALIFICATION

Down in Detroit, Minn., recently, a
large Boosters Banquet" was given.
Exponents of every profession and
vocation in Detroit attended the ban
quet and much Community spirit"
was shown. Addresses and toasts
were given, praising Detroit, exploit
ing it's advantages, praising the farm
ers around Detroit, talking trade at
home" and urging the ban1shing Of
outside trade and Of mail order trade.
The banquet was very much Sue
cess and much community spirit
was shown.
Down in Detroit, MIMI, today
there is feeling of disappointment
and bitterness because of the exam
pie set by some of the "loudest home
trade takers" at the banquet. That
several of the business men, who at
the banquet pretended to be vitality
interested in the upbuilding of De-
troit's business prosperity, are in
sincere in their talk, is evident from
the fact that these prominent men
even went to the Twin Cities to pur-
chase automobiles when the same
line was handled by Detroit firm.
Examples set by these men, these
takers, are what discourage and
make failures of all community
spirit" ideas.
Example has more followers than
reason, says a Pelican Rapids paper.
Nothing is so contagious as example.
We emulate good and praiseworthy
actions and we emulate bad or re-
prehensible actions, through the evil
of our natures, which shame con-
ceals but example sets at liberty.

increase Of the equipment. The incu-
bator cellar should be convenient to
the brooder house, the brooder house
to the growing house and pens, and
these buildings to the killing house.
The pens In the houses, the outside
yards, and the arrangement of the
buildings should be planned so that
the ducks may be easily located. Con-
venient watering arrangements are es-
Sential where large numbers of ducks
are kept, as they require a large
amount of drinking water. While
ducks may be kept successfully under
very intensive conditions, it is advis-
able to allow considerable yard space.
Double yards, which may be rotated
and planted to quick growing crops,
such as oats, wheat, and rye, are good
for intensive duck farms.
1t is advisable to have pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, as they
usually give better fertility under
these conditions, although on some
successful duck farms the ducks are
always kept on dry land. The young
ducks on some farms which have a
pond are not allowed to go into the
water except to battle and clean their
feathers just before marketing. Other
growers, however, allow the green
ducks free access to ponds or streams
until they are marketed.
There are II standard breeds of
ducks which may be divided into three
classes: ~ the meat class, including
the Pekin, Aylesbury, Muscovy, Rouen,
Cayuga, Buff and Swedish; (2) the
egg class, which includes the Indian
Runner, and (3) the ornamental class,
composed of the Call, the Crested
White, and the Black East India. The
common puddle" duck is kept on
many farms in the middle West and
South, and is generally of small size,
a poor layer and an undesirable type
of market duck. Excepting the Mus
covy, all of our economic breeds of
ducks are said to have originated from
the Mallard, or common wild ducks.

PROFIT IN CAPON INDUSTRY
Prevailing Scarcity of Meat Creating
Demand for FowIs-Necessary
Operation Is Simple.

The capon industry which now can
be carried on profitably is sure to de-
velop rapidly, in the opinion of N. l..
Harris, superintendent of the poultry
plant at the Kansas State Agricultu-
raj college.
Where capons ara raised in large
numbers, says Harris, 1t now is posi-
bic to ship them direct to large cities
where there is ready sale at good
prices. Owing to the prevailing scar
city of meat-producing animals it is
probable that the capon will find
permanent place on many of the farms
of the middle West and will be
source Of constant profit.
Numerous buyers in small towns
have made quotations in the last sea-
son ranging from IA to 10 cents
pound live weight, depending upon the
size of the capon. If capons are
raised ON the farm this allows a good
margin for profit. The operation nee
essary to produce capons is simple
anG can be performed by anyone after
little practice. The capon does not
as rule grow much more rapidly than
the cockerel but puts on more pounds
of meat for the amount Of food con-
Sumed.

Determining SEX OF CHICKS
Certain Marks by Which PuIIets May
Be Distinguished From Cocker
els After Matching.

(By c.. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
With the rapidly growing day-old
chick industry the question of sex
determination naturally arises. Many
buyers would like to order all pullets,
all cockerels or given number of
each, and would be glad to pay an ad-
ditional price for this assurance.
The sex of Barred Plymouth Rock
chicks can be told with a reasonable
degree of accuracy. The pullet has
a dark, willow-colored beak, some
times streaked with black. 1t is Of
finer bone than the cockerel and the
legs are dark and smoky colored. The
cockerel has bright yellow legs and
beak and usually coarse head and
prominent eye. The cockerel is a gray
or slate color while the pullet is dark
er. The white tip of the wings and spot
on top of the head are most notice
able on the pullet, due to the con-
trast with the deeper black. This
Means can only be used to denote
the sex the first couple of days. After
this time they all take on the one
characteristic blue color, the beak
and legs Of the pullet fade out to vel
low.
Similar methods can be employed
with all parti-colored breeds. With
solid colored birds the best means
Of determining sex is the prominent
cockerel.

Ducks can be raised with success
and at profit on general farms, says
Alfred r. Lee, a poultry specialist of
the department Of agriculture, but
they do not appear to be as well
adapted as a source of income to av-
erage farm conditions as fowls, al
though they serve to add variety, both
of meat and of eggs, for the farmers
table. If the demand for ducks, and
especially for duck eggs, increases,
breeds of ducks which are good layers
should be profitable. on arms, particu-
larly where there is good pasture land
containing a stream or any running
water. Farmers rarely give the neces-
sary care to their ducklings, either in
feeding or in marketing, to be able to
cater to the trade in fancy green
ducks.
Duck farms are usually located on
light, sandy soil, generally on sloping
land, where the droppings will leach

SELECTION OF GOOD LAYERS
Pullet Should Have Fine Head, Alert
Eyes and Comb and Face and
WattIes of Fine Texture.

Judging poultry Is said to be finer
art than the selection of other farm
animals, but the man or woman who
picks pullets with fine heads alert
eyes and combs, faces end wattles of
fine texture has taken the first step
toward increased egg production.
Good pullets should stand square on
their feet, with legs wide apart, with
the front end of the body slightly high
er than the posterior end, and with a
long back and tail carried rather high.
The body should be wedge shaped,
yielding ample room for the reproduc.
tive and digestive organs.
