By MRS. J. c. MOSES

The duck is the farmers friend In order to be successful with ducks, farm CTS should start with pure-bred fowls of good meat conformation, or else of a superior egg-producing capacity that ri- val hens. If market ducks are chosen, an improvised strain or Pekin or Ayles- bury may well be raised, preferably the former. Ordinary ducks under average farm methods are kept at a loss. This is not especially the fault of the breed, for ducks are not always sold at the proper tirne. Too often they are kept until Thanksgiving and the holidays. As the large breeds are great eaters, the profits are cut down and they should be sold as soon as the first coat of feathers is complete, usually between eight and 10 weeks after fattening. When the birds no longer grow rapidly, it does not pay to keep them to maturity except for breeding.
 As an egg producer the Indian Runner is veritable egg factory. It equals or even exceeds a hen in the number of eggs laid, and could be as generally kept natural advantages for ducks-low, wet waste land or running streams. They may, therefore, be made speciality, even to the extent of displacing the hens, when both cannot be conveniently kept
 The Indian Runner is a great forager ana nome lover. 1t rodlnS the Heius and brooks all day, but at night will return to the home of it's own will. While it may be successfully kept in yard if given plenty of drinking water, it is at it's best on unlimited range, where it can be more cheaply kept than a hen. It is strictly nonsitter. The young are easily raised and often begin laying at five months. They are much more tract able than chicks so the work of caring for them is pleasurable instead of drud- gerry

Ducks lay well till September, and do not cease entirely during the mott. They make quick mott, resume laying and keep it up all the fall. For weeks at a time in the spring they lay almost as many eggs as there are ducks, sometimes fully as many. They give better aver ages for the summer months than hens. They are at their best for breeding and laying purposes in the second year and 2-year- old ducks as well as older ones lay better in the fall of the second than in the fall of the first year.
 Indian Runner ducks are too valuable as egg producers to be sold at ordinary market prices, but the surplus drakes are easily disposed of at good prices, for their flesh is of superior quality. It has a distinct gamy flavor. The feathers are valuable for pillows, and readily sell at 40 cents pound. Each drake will yield about quarter of a pound of dry down feathers The breed is so hardy that it stands intense cold if given dry roasting quarters.
 There has been a great demand for birds and eggs for breeding. Trios readily bring $10 well marked single specimens s4 and s each. There is always a good demand for matching eggs and 8 special demand for duck eggs a month or so before Easter. They bring about twice as much as hens eggs at that time Local grocers pay or 6 cents more a dozen Tor duck eggs than TOT hen eSsS. lnuidn Runner eggs come earlier than eggs of other breeds.
 Lady Eglantine the prize white Leg horn hen, which has record of 315 eggs a year, has been outdone by duck, ac- cordng to Mrs. R. c. Canister. wife of the wealthy shoe manufacturer of New York whose home is in Verona. Mrs. Canister boasts that Peggie, a Rouen duck, is the champion egg layer of this country, at least, having hung up a record of 325 eggs in less than a year, and I guess that's laying some.

DRY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Many in the country find it unhandy to can much fruit and vegetables, so a much easier method is the drying process. The following simple equipment can be made by anyone handy with tools:
 Tray-Make a framework from strips of lumber A-inch thick and 2 inches wide. To this nail laths 1s inch apart to form bottom. Galvanized wire screen, 1s or A- inch mesh may be substituted for the laths. If laths are used, tray should be feet long, if screening, length depends on width of screening.
 Four-tray Drier-Stiffen trays with wire screening bottoms by mailing laths across center. Attach an upright, 1k-inch thick, inches wide and IS inches high, to each corner of the trays placed one above the other This may be suspended above the kitchen stove.
 Trays to Be Used With Electric Fan make a framework, 4x112 feet from strips of lumber A-inch thick and inches wide. Across the bottom tack strips of half round or dressed laths, M-inch apart. These trays may be filled about 1 inch deep and stacked four or five high be- fore an electric fan. Bottom of lower tray should be on level with lower rim of fan.
 It is, of course, perfectly possible to dry vegetables on earthenware plates. When drying, take advantage of the fire on baking day after the bread and cake have been taken from the oven.
