of the same age, which reduces the
cost of feed, and the animal protein
feed in particular:
If the feeding and watering are in
variably done in a certain definite
place some distance from the house
the ducks will not bother around the
home building.
Whether yarded or on range, ducks
must never be without fresh water.

ton will cause death in few days un-
less relieved.
up, clean them out carefully with a
crochet hook, holding their heads firm
~ to prevent injury.
Another duck fallacy that still re-
ceives credit among many is that ducks
must have sufficient water in which to
swim. Out of a flock of thirty-six
raised last summer the entire wa
ter supply was furnished in fat three
gallon jars. Only one was lost out of
the flock, and the one death was caused
by accident
Another cause Of the unpopularity of
ducks is the mistake that is made in
Matching them too early and holding
the ducks for weeks or months after
they have arrived at marketing age so
as to get the advantage of better prices
during the holidays
For the green rooster age, ten or
twelve weeks will be sufficient time to
mature them.
In the summer, when my flock of
thirty six ducks were getting all the
green feed they could eat, they con-
sumed only fifteen pounds Of feed a
day, which was all they could clean up.
The mash was composed of two
pounds wheat bran, one and one-half
pounds middlings, one and one-half
pounds corn and oat chop and one and
one-haf pounds of coarse, sifted sand
mixed with water and skimmilk. This
was fed them from the fifth day until
| maturity. For the first five days bread
squeezed out of milk, literally sprin-
killed. with sand, was their diet.
When confined, ducks should have all
Of the green feed they will consume
When young 1 feed onion tops, lettuce,
clover and grass chopped fine.
Unless the ducks can have free range
they require beef scrap or other form
of animal food at the rate Of 8 to
| 10 per cent Of the mash fed. It is an
uneconomical practice to feed ducks
unground grain, and for young ducks
it is dangerous as we'll.
It is important to have the mash fed
moist, but not sloppy. Not long ago l
lost q valuable Buff Orpington duck by
allowing it to eat the mash dry with
out moistening. It choked to death.

MONEY IN DUCK RAISING.

ouaoks Arc Easier to Raise Than
Chickens and Mature Earlier.
Ducks are much easier to raise than
chickens and reach the rooster stage
much quicker, writes a correspondent
Of the Farm and Fireside.
The chief requirements Of ducks are
plenty Of water, grit, all the suitable
feed they viii clean up three times a
day while growing, and at all times
to be handled or disturbed as little As
possible.
More ducks are killed by unneces-
sary handling, chilling and underfeed-
ing than by all other causes combined
Where they can be allowed free
range they will pick up a larger por
ton Of their food than will chickens

Poultry on tho Farm.

On the general run Of farms it would
not be advisable, nor would it be as
profitable, to keep the poultry in pens
as to let them have free range. There
is such large quantity of good feed
lying around every farm that it would
pay to keep chickens just to pick up
this waste feed. So flock on free
range is almost imperative on most
farms. But the custom Of using the
eggs for Matching from the promiscu-
Gus flock is not a good one. At least
one pen of chickens should be kept
apart for breeding purposes. A dozen
or fifteen of the best hens should be
selected, with the best male obtain
able, and kept in yard apart from the
general flock.

The Buff Orpington duck is one Of
the new breeds. It was originated
in England by William Cook, also
the originator of the Orpington hen.
The duck is the largest, prolific lay

quickly and Is ready for market at
eight to ten weeks. Its flesh is ex-

PLACE ADDED FRENCH CREDIT
Bankers Arrange for $4,000, 200
for Sale of Acceptauce..


An additional French credit loan of
a5,0ooooo has just been arranged by
William p. Bonbright & Co., Inc, of
New York, who have formed the syndi-
cate for the absorption of the ac-
ceptances. Last November the first al
lotment of S15,oco,O00 was widely dis
tributed among American banking in
stitutions in the larger cities and the
second instalment creates a grand total
of S30,0OoO 600.
The group of banks participat ting in the
loan Is. with few exceptions, the same
as hitherto affiliated, which indicates the
helpful character of banking activity in
sustaining the needs of our present ma
tional business requirements.
This credit, like the one placed last
November, will run for one year, and will
cost the borrower 1-2 per cent. says the
New York Evening Post Acceptances
will be drawn by the borrowers In France,
and accepted by banking institutions on
this side who have participated In the
100000 will divided into three instalments,
each of s5.00O,00o
This credit is not for the French gov
ernment, but Is made with governmental
approval, inasmuch an French Industrial
interests of the highest rank will profit
by the loan. The French syndicate
formed to handle the drafts as drawn
will present them to Bonbright & Co.,
OF Paris, to be afterwards forwarded for
delivery to Bonbright & Co., Inc, New
York, to be further distributed to the
members of the American syndicate.

gains. buyers OF dry goods are out in
large number seeking quantities that
they can not get in all cases, due to the
dyestuff shortage. Some consumers OF
steel seem willing to commit themselves
as far ahead as 1917; mail-order houses
say trade is very heavy; the old story OF
manufacturers being rushed to capacity
is increasingly emphasized: labor Is be-
coming scarcer; wages continue to ad-
vance: money is easy; collections are
good; banks are filed with funds; bank
clearings heavily exceed those of one and
two years ago: wheat speculation is the
heaviest ever known: interest in real es-
tate is reviving the country over. y
Building. which suffered relatively lit
tie check this winter, promises to be
very active the coming spring. and fresh
industrial developments or additions to
existing plants suggest that this country
Is entering on a new industrial era.
1T is but little while since American
buyers were overprudent, doubted the
truth of trade prosperity until their
shelves were wellnigh bare of goods. and
then started to place orders and to bid
up prices again themselves. At this juno
ture, however. the problem is one of get.

New York. Jan. S.-The stock market
displayed a better undertone today and
closed with most issues showing net
gains. The betterment was attributed to
the successful sale Of the New York
State bonds and the increase OF the St
Paul dividend. Brokers say the decline
this week has strengthened the technical
position Of the market, and that fairly
large short interest has been created.
Strength prevailed at the opening, with

front from the outset, with Crucible the

beginning of the session stocks were lib
orally supplied, resulting in recessions to
