scrap is gradually Increased until 1t
reaches Is per cent by the end Of the
third week. The proportion of corn
meal is increased for the ducklings to
be marketed and the bran decreased
as the time for marketing the duck
lings approaches.
The fattening ration, which should
be used for two weeks before killing,
consists of three parts, by weight, Of
cOrnmeal, two parts of lOWgrade flour
or middlings, one part of bran, one
half part of beef scrap, 10 per cent
green feed and 3 per cent grit. This
mash is fed three times daily. The
green feed is sometimes left out Of
the ration during the last week of fat
tening, as it tends to color the meat,
but it is easier to keep the ducklings
in good feeding condition if it is in
Guided. Boiled fish is sometimes used
in place of the beef scrap, but this
should be discontinued two weeks be-
fore the ducklings are killed in order
not to impart fishy TASTE Where
milk is available at a sufficiently low
price, the rations recommended for
milk-fattened chickens would produce
well-bleached milk-fed green duck.
Celery seed is also used, as this is said
to flavor the flesh.
The Egg Breed.
For the general farmer who is more
interested in obtaining eggs than in
producing green ducks for the market,
the Indian Runner is a good breed.
This duck holds the same relative po-
sition in the duck family that the Leg
horn does in the chicken family. It
lays a good-sized white egg, consider
ably larger than a hens egg, and is
declared to be a small eater, a good
forager and hardy.
At the present time the keeping Of
ducks for eggs is an industry which
appears to be growing more rapidly in
the South than elsewhere. A good de-
mand for these eggs exists at Easter
time, and the prices are usually sew
eral cents dozen higher than for
hens eggs, but during the balance of
the year the average price for the two
has been about the same Recently,
however, the introduction of the In
dian Runner has helped in building
up trade in first-class ducks eggs.
These eggs should be marketed fire.
quently, as they depreciate in quality
more rapidly than hens eggs. The
possibilities of securing a market,
moreover, should be carefully investi-
gated, for it is only in certain places
that good prices can be secured for
fancy ducks eggs.
On commercial duck farms most Of
the Matching is done in incubators, for
the Pekin and Indian Runner rarely
sit. On farms where no incubator is
available, the eggs are usually Matched
under hens. The period of incubation
is week longer than that Of hens
eggs, and, for this reason, the hen
must be well cared for. While ducks
are easier to brood artifcially than
chickens, they may also be raised sue
ceSSfully under hens. In the latter
case it is better to confine the hens
and to allow the ducklings free range.
Birds that are intended for sale as
green ducks, however, are not usually
allowed much range, but are fed heav-
lily and forced for rapid growth. The
brooders and brooding systems used
for chickens give good results in
rearing ducklings, although the letter
do not require as high a temperature.
