TIME TO MARKET DUcKLINGS
Success Achieved by Feeding Fowig
All They Can Eat Until Fowls
Are Ten Weeks Old.

Too many small duck growers make,
little or no profit from their years la-
Dor, simply because they are Ignorant
of the proper time to market their
ducklings. Success comes only byt
feeding the ducks all they can eat
from the time they are Matched untib
they are ten weeks old and then send-t
ing them right away to market.
If the ducklings are Matched early
so the top prices may be secured, they,
can be sold when nine weeks old. But
never keep ducklings that are to be-
marketed longer than II weeks, moi
matter how backward they are. After
this period the ducklings begin to grow

1t is necessary to force your duck
lings to the greatest possible extent.
If they are not ready for market in ten
weeks, and have to be kept ten weeks
longer you either will make no profit
or lose on the bargain. At the older
age they will not bring nearly as much

PARI-MUTUEL SYSTEM
FOR ENGLISH RACING

London. Nov. S.-The prospect for the
Introduction of the pari-mutuel system
in England, supported as 1t is by so many
influential racing men, is very good, in
spite of many serious obstacles. The
bookmakers pay no license fee. conse-
quently the Jockey Club may favor the
new method or follow the plan of ex-
tracing revenue from bookmakers.
Licensing has been advocated before.
but the Jockey Club stewards were in
different. and the old established book
makers, with their pitches assured,
put up a strong opposition. A licensed
man, no matter how new, is practically
guaranteed safe by the clubs, and a
hacker will not pass him by for the "old
and tried man. The hacker cannot risk
betting with the stranger. hence the
determination OF old established book
makers to prevent licensing.
Sooner or later, however. the Jockey
Club Is likely to be forced to the con-
clusion that promoters should acquire
revenue from either bookmakers or mu-
tuels or the two combined.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION

Louisville, KY, Nov. s-American Asso-
citation affairs came to the forefront
again when o. H. wathen. owner Of the
Louisville club. confirmed reports that
Thomas J. Hickey. OF st. Paul. had been
in conference with him. Mr.. Hickey. It is
understood. is the choice of a majority
in the American Association as the
successor of President Thomas Chiving-
ton. His visit to Louisville came upon
the heels Of the presence here OF Jo-
seph Cantillon. manager of the Minneap-
oils club. and Michael Kelly. manager OF
the st. Paul club. 1t was reported they
had come to Louisville to urge upon Mr..
Wathen, the vice president of the league,
the calling of a special league meeting.
and that he refused because of a belief
such action would be unfair to Presi-
dent Chivtngton, who is in the South on a
hunting trip.
"All three OF US. however," Mr. Can
tillon is reported to have said. ARE for
Hickey. So are Columbus and Milwaukee.
IBresnahan pledged himself to Hickey last
summer. but understand now that he is
on the fence. and may vote for the re-
tention of Chivington. II he does, that
will make the vote FIVE to three for
Hickey.
when the time comes for the annual
meetingi' Cantillon said, according to a
report printed here, you will see Mr.
Hickey elected. There isn't a chance for
him to miss connection now. because five
of us have pledged ourselves to vote for
him.
Mr.. Cantillon is reported to have said
that Mr.. Chivington was not to be re-
placed because he had not been a capable
executive. but because. In his Judgment.
Hickey would make a better one.

CARMAN and VIAU To
BE AT BOWIE TRACK
Well-Known Owners of Thoroughbreds
to Race Strings at Prince
George Track.

Baltimore. Nov. S-Richard r. Carman,
of New York. and wilfrid Viau. of Mon
treal. viii take to Bowie for the fall ses-
sion Of the. Southern Maryland Agricul-
tural Association, November IA to 80, in
elusive, stable of unusual strength and
practically every member Of II At to run.
The stable consists Of the matured
horses, Achievement, Broomvale. skeer-
face, Trial by Jury, Nigel, G. NJ. Miller,
Surprising, Startling, Lady Barbary, and
Queen OF Paradise, and the 2-year-olds,
Whitney Belle. Amalgamator, Bright
Star, and The Only One.
OF these probably the only ones that
will not face the starter at Maryland's
new track are Surprising and Achieve
ment Surprising fell lame at Laurel a
couple of weeks ago and Is out of 1t for
the year. There Is nothing amiss with
the underpinning of Achievement. which
proved through the summer that he was
one Of the smartest s-year-olds in train
Ing. but Mr.. Viau achievements owner)
wants to save him for the great handi-
caps to be run next season.
Old @. NJ. Miller. a 10-year-old, which
has won in every State In the Union, as
well as in Canada, during his long ca
reer. seems to have taken a new lease on
life. He looks like a 2-year-old. and.
although he is not running with horses
couple Of seasons back, he is winning
right along in selling platter company.
Twice at Laurel he covered one mile
and a quarter In better than 2:o6. and as
recently as last Tuesday at Pimlico he
picked up 10 pounds and defeated a
likely field at one and three-sixteenth
miles. Queen OF Paradise, a winner at
both Laurel and Pimlico, has become
one Of the most reliable of second-rate
platers in races over distances OF ground.
and Startling is as good as the best
3-year-old sprinter hereabouts.
Startling Is not winning as many races
as a colt OF his speed Is entitled to win.
but the handicappers are right along
paying him the compliment OF weighing
him up with the cleverest sprinters Of
the four and up division. Lady Barbary.
which made her first appearance under
colors at laurel after more than a year
Of idleness. has not won a race this
year, but she improves with every outing
and Is sure to earn a purse or so at
Bowie. Lady Barbary. a daughter of
Galveston. which defeated the cleverest
2-year-olds of the season of 1914 at Sara
toga and elsewhere In the East. is partial
to slow going and the Bowie course hap
pens to be deeper than any other in this
part of the country.
