Farm, That Produces Its Own Grain Is
Always Most SuceessfuI-oper-
ating Expense Reduced.

The poultry farm that produces its
own feed or goodly part OF il is al
ways the most successful" according
TO William II. Pfeifer OF Attention, Mo-.
because the feed is always right al
hand when needed, no drayage. no
waste. the range birds seeing to the
latter.
The shattered grain does not go TO
feed sparrows, crows. etc, but pro-
duces chicken-neat and eggs. The
droppings go back TO the fields as
fertilizer and the operating expense or
upkeep is greatly reduced.
Such a farm has a great advantage
over the one that has TO buy all its
feed, hauling II over miles OF rough
country roads. paying dearly for the
time wasted in drayage and extra han
ding. This III itself is important evil
dence OF why the farmer can produce
cheaper poultry and eggs than the
poultryman. Those who after serious
consideration decide to go into the
business should bear this advice in
mind"

They are not TO be starved, but you
must keep them just a little hungry.
and they will go out in this one or
two acres OF land and eat more or
less green feed. and they will run up
and down the pen and IL will give them
muscle.
We keep them in this manner until
they are five months old. and then we
change and put them in permanent
quarters Most any kind OF build
ing will do for a duck house. II does

You want eggs all the winter you must
have it warm enough so that the eggs

pretty often and take up the eggs they

We do not have any nests In our
dock houses. we simply bed them
with shavings. We did try nests, but
we could not see any great benefit
from them. They will dig a hole
In the corner and lay the egg and

that you do not walk on the eggs.

breed from a yearlins duck A duck
will take on fat very easily. and IL you
keep them over the second year they
get too fat. and they will not lay as
early, md the eggs are not fertile, and
we cannot get good results.
