DUCKS AS AN ASSET TO POULTRY
By J. H. MeFAUL. Jr.
III Rights Rsse,1sN

Roup. gapes and lice which are so
common to chickens, and which are re-
sponsible for the death of many birds
annually, are unknown to the duck.
While it is true that they have few
lice. this parasite never seems to worry
them in the least
The question of feeding is not as diff
ficult q one to solve with the duck as
I with the chicken. This is one of the
real factors in the raising of poultry,
while with ducks, it is comparatively
easy. Many persons prefer feeding
ducks at least twice a day. In other
words, they are opposed to iberating
them in the morning without first sup
plying them with some kind of food. II
YOU prefer to furnish a morning meal,
let it be the same as is given IN the
evening. AS a sort of suggestion, let
me offer the following as meeting all
the requirements, and it will make the
ducks an excellent food. Make mash
(which may be fed either once or twice
a day) from the following: Bran, lB
parts middlings, l part; corn-meal, y
part beef scrap, which has been sprin-
kled with a little salt and pepper, x
part mix it all we'll together. In ad-
dition to this, the ducks should be fed
some form of green food such as clover,
sprouted oats, beets, cabbage, potatoes
Cooked, or alfalfa. They should also
be supplied with oyster she'll, coarse
sand, ashes and plenty of fresh drinking
water. It is not necessary to supply a
bathing place for ducks. they can do
very well without this, Notwithstanding
that many think they cannot be success
fully raised without q bathing beach
nearby.
If these suggestions are adopted, and
some little shade provided for the ducks
they can be successfully raised-and
they'll net you a good profit in return
for your investment.
If you are raising poultry and have
room to put in a few Indian Runners,
do so at once-and you will soon be con-
vinced of their worth from the stand
point of profit and become vitally inter-
ested in them.
Low, cheaply constructed houses are
all that is required for housing ducks.
You are not forced to invest as much
money in their construction as when
building houses for chickens. This also
means a saving Of considerable money
which adds to their worth as money
earners. The one requisite in housing
the duck is to see that the roof turns
water. The south end of the house
should be left open to admit fresh air in
sufficient quantity, while the floors
should consist of sand, which in winter
may be covered with a coating of leaves,

POULTRY POINTERS.

If you failed in getting eggs during
last winter, owing to the fact that you
did not plan before hand, don't make
the same mistake again. Begin to plan
now for your next breeding season.
Give the birds that are to make up your
breeding pens next year your special
care and attention. in order to keep
them in perfect health. The result will
be that their progeny will be strong,
vigorous. healthy chicks. Preparedness
pays in the poultry business. just as it
serves to keep the country at peace.
Milford chronicle., 1916-06-16

"Quacks" are ordinarily to be dis
countenanced and kept at a distance.
This applies to those persons generally
termed takers. The poultry world, as
we'll as many others, is loaded down
with such individuals. The ''quacks'
of the waterfowl family, however, come
under a very different heading and are
good to have aDout. Indian Runners
are "quacks,' but Of the better sort.
They are both money savers and money
earners. Get the "quack" habit. {

Watch the rapidly growing pullets.
These, as a rule, are just a little shy
when it comes to the matter of taking
the nest for laying. They should be en-
couraged. Supply several secluded nests
for their convenience. They will thus
be made more comfortable and you will
profit by it.
