eggs in the first four or five months
of the year to enable her keeper to
raise and market several dollars
worth of young ducks from her eggs.
These young ducks have size and
weight, and may be made fat and
juicy before marketing, which is all
ways done by the big duck raisers in
the East, and this is why they raise
ducks Of the Pekin variety for the
market. This can be done as well,
and there is always ready and profit
able market for such ducks.
Three Features of Value.
There are really three features Of
value in the Pekin duck. One. is her
eggs to be converted into young ducks
as suggested. The other is her feath-
ers, which are abundant and of soft
texture and valuable in the market,
and she may be picked at least twice
year. The third point of value is
when the duck herself is fattened and
marketed.
Pekin ducks are great foragers, and
with favorable surroundings, such as
q pond or other water source, and
grass to range over, they will pick up
In this way more than half of their
food. 1t is true they may be raised
under less favorable conditions, but
at less profit and with more care and
work.

.PLOW AND CULTIVATE
TO KILL JUNE BUGS
Beetles Are Parents of White
Grub, Harmful to Corn.
1t Takes Three Years for One of In.
sects to Develop From Egg Which
Is Deposited in Meadows and
Sometimes in Cornfieids.
(By CHARLES c. wENTzLER.l

(By CHARLES C. WENTzLER)
Have you ever seen the so-called
June bug buzzing around an electric
light or seen them swarm on the side
walk in the gray of spring morning!
They are big, dark-brown beetle
and at night when they bump against
the window panes or fly humping
against the ceiling make you crawl and
hunt for the broom.
These laundering, awkward beetles
Of which the chickens and birds are sc
fond, are the parents of the corn pest
known as the ''white grub" which
feeds on the roots Of the plants and
destroys them.
Millions of them are destroyed in
spring by hungry birds and myriad
others go down to death in swarming
around the arc lights of city. They
are SO sensitive to light that flame,
miles away, will attract them.
1t takes three years for one of these
beetles to develop from the egg. The
beetles deposit their eggs in meadows
and sometimes in cornfields. The tiny
grubs which emerge from the eggs de-
velop into thick, fieshy, white grubs
which are also much sought for by
birds. When matured they are fully
one and one-half inches long.
Luckily for Mr.. Beetle, the grub
spends most of his three years in the
soil out of the reach Of enemies. Diff.
ferent beetles, however, are complet
ing their growth every year and Sc
we have the June bug with us each
spring.
All corn is apt to suffer from them
but owing to the habit Of the beetle in
deposting its eggs in meadows, corn
that is planted in newly turned sod is
more apt to suffer from these pests.
The best way to destroy them is to
pillow and cultivate so that their
natural food is destroyed and they are
starved to death before planting the
field. Some farmers let the chickens
follow the pillow and destroy hundreds
Of them in this way.
