BRITISH LOSSES DECREASE.

London, May 9. A substantial de-
crease in the number of sinkings by
submarines in the last week is shown
in the weekly report of the shipping
losses.
Twenty-four British merchant YES
sells of more than 1000 tons each were
sunk during the last, week. it was an
nounced officially. twenty-five vessels
of less than 1000 tons and sixteen
fishing vessels also were sunk.
No reason for this is given out by
oficial sources, but it is plainly intim-
ated that considerable progress has
been made in the antisubmarine cam
paign. There is no guarantee that the
weekly losses will not again assume
alarming proportions. but the fact
that they have been substantially re-
duced is very encouraging to those in
charge Of the campaign, and it is be-
lieved that the new measures to COM
bat the underwater craft are already
showing gratifying results.

general farms ducks can be raised with
success and at n profit, though as a
source of income they do not appear to
be as we'll adapted to average farm
conditions as fowls. Hitherto farmers
have rarely given the necessary care
TO the feeding ana marketing Cr their
ducklings to secure any large share of
the trade in fancy green ducks.
1t is this trade which attracts the
commercial duck farmer A green
duck is duckling which Is grown
rapidly and marketed when from eight
to twelve weeks old, weighing ut that
time from 4la to pounds. This rapid
growth is made possible by an abun-
dance of care and good feeding. The
highest prices are paid early in the
spring, but, as has already been said,
the demand is chiefly from the large
cities in the East and on the Pacific
coast. AS matter of fact, many
farmers market their ducks in the fall
at lower price per bird than green
ducks bring III the spring.

RAISING DUCKS FOR MARKET
Always Demand in Large Cities for
"Green Ducks"-Produeed by
Special Feeding.

The number of commercial duck
farms in the country is increasing
somewhat, it is said, but the produc-
tion of ducks on general farms is de-
creasing, especially in the middle
West. The last census reports show
that ducks We're kept on only 10 per
cent of the farms in the country. The
demand for ducks eggs Is more lin.
tied than for hens eggs, and the de.
mand for table ducks at good prices is,
to great extent, confined TO the large
cities and is not nearly ms general as
the demand for chickens. For this
reason it is advisable TO study the mar
ket conditions before making any large
investment in ducks.
On the other hand, 1t Is said that In
tensive duck farming on large scale
has been more successful than inten-
sive chicken raising. The Pekin ducks
which are kept extensively by CONNER.
cial growers are less subject to dis.
ease than chickens, and artificial meth
ods of Matching and rearing nave been
used very successfully with them. OD
