Glenwood is the most economical and

Inc story of the piece, which was

or the proprietors,. buying by weight,
will suffer very small profit.
An important factor in favor of Run
ner flesh lies in its gamey qualities,
which enable restauranteurs to substi-
tute it for real game.
Restrictions on game birds contin
ually increase. The government is re-
solved to stop the illegal sale of game
birds. Restrictions are placed also on
the sale of their feathers. 1t is re-
ported that even the grower of domes-
ticated Millards has not been safe from
Interference. --
The general rule has been no Spring
or summer shooting. and a short open
season in the Fall. Unless the disap
pearing wild fowl can be increased by
protection, and the more Intelligent in
terest of the people at large. domestic
birds must take their place in the mar
kets. Thus, the opening for small ducks
of superior quality, like the Runner, is
most important one And the Runner
is equal to the demand.
Furthermore, the grower who pro-
duces eggs as a speciality wants small
eaters with not too large bodies Yet
he wants fair carcass to sell when he
has obtained the best part of the egg
yield from each bird. The quicker this
can be done, the greater the profit. And
because ducks lay almost daily during
the best of the season, they are ideal
subjects for crowding for eggs till the
molt, when they can be sold for more
than 1t cost to replace them with young
stock. A Canadian breeder reports re-
turns of 81 each from his first flock of
Runners, in less than year from table
eggs.
The utility grower needs to think
more than has been his custom, that he
; must breed his stock along the lines of
weight and type, in preference to feath
ers. In all breeds weight tends to run
down. unless the birds are bred to
standard weight. Moreover. typical
birds are likely to be better layers.
agricultural schools claim this is espe-
cially true of the Runner Duck.
