until the ducks are a week old, when
about per cent Is added TO the ra-
tion. which amount is gradually In

The green feed is sometimes left out
of the ration during the last seven
days OF fattenlng, as II tends to color
the meat and may produce slightly
fiabby rather than firm flesh; how
ever, 1t Is easier to keep the duck
lings In good feeding condition on

Green ducks are marketed at from
8 to ~ weeks of age. according to
their condition and weight. Two or

mended In most fattening rations, but
bone ash, ground or cracked bone, or
bone meal would appear to be better

STANDARDS HELP
FARM PROBLEMS
Lesson Taught by Denmark's
Success in Butter Business
Is Emphasized.
OF BENEFIT IN HOME TRADE
Recent importations Bearing Well
Known Foreign Brand Call Atten-
tion to Value Of Recognized
Grades In Marketing.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture
N was no less person than Shake
speare's Hamlet who asserted that
there was something rotten In Den
mark. But whatever truth there may
have been In that assertion. American
butter interests today readily acknowl-
edge that there Is nothing impure In
Denmarks butter.
Danish butter usually Is of very
good quality. That. in fact, is the
reason that dairy and butter interests
In the United States have been look
Ing with a suggestion OF concern
more than ls deserved, perhaps-on
the importation of Danish butter which
has been taking place at New York
recently at the rate OF several hun
dred casks weekly, each cask weigh
Ing 112 pounds. Experts use this
incident to emphasize the lesson which
Denmark's success In the butter busi-
ness teaches with respect to stand
arriizntion. While perhaps the great
est value resulting from the applica-
tion OF standards in Denmark lies In
its benefit TO that country's export but
ter trade, In America corresponding
benefit could be enjoyed In domestic
trade, since our home butter con-
sumption normally far exceeds our ex-
ports.
A Recognized Brand.
The Danish government has brand
which the law provides can be placed
on all butter meeting certain rather
exactlng requirements. This is the
brand to be found on the casks which
have been arriving at New York and
which is recognized the world over as
n guaranty of good quality. Experts
in American dairy marketing problems
point to the value of the Danish of
ficiel mark not with the idea of ad-
vocating that this government adopt
n similar plan OF officially branding
butter, but to emphasize the value
which results from adopting recog-
nized standards. They call attention
to the fact that America Is producing
much butter which scores as high
or higher than the Danish importa-
tions.
In some cases private brands are
well enough known to profit fully by

the high grade maintained. But this
can not be said OF all American but
ter OF fine quality. Today no uni
form grades are universally adhered
to and consequently much butter has
to be marketed at lower prices than
Il would otherwise bring because II
bears no brand or score Indicating Its
real value.
Apply Grades More Widely.
The government has established
standards for scoring butter and any
one who will get In touch with one Of
the five principal butter markets
where inspectors are maintained
Minneapolis. Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, Boston - can have his
butter Inspected at small cost. What
Is needed, II Is claimed, Is that the
federal grades be more generally APP
piled. Not only would high grade b1t-
ter more generally command the price
II deserves, but many producers now
more or less Indifferent to grading
would be induced to improve the
quality Of their output.
A few weeks ago perishnble food In
spectors representing the Bureau OF
Markets. United States Department OF
Agriculture, were called ON TO Inspect
100000 pounds of butter Intended for
export to European country. The
bureau was able TO certify that most
OF the butter came up to the standard
required by the exporting house. Hav-
ing received federal certificates to
this effect the exporters could safely
proceed with their shipments to
Europe. The incident is considered
of special interest because the house
exporting the 4,00O0O0 pounds had
previously had trouble with an Gun
inspected shipment abroad because II
did not come up to specifications. By
utilizing the federal inspection serv-
Ice II was possible for these exporters
TO be sure that butter accepted for
shipment was up to certain
standard.
Standa ardizstlon Promotes Efficiency.
Since the Inauguration of federal
food inspection by the Bureau of
Markets in 1917. an Increasing number
OF producers. buyers, and sellers have
come to appreciate Its value, as Is
Indicated by the demand for inspec-
tlon of perlshable fruits and vege-
tables and butter. This Is big ad-
vance In the right direction, market
experts say, but immeasurably greater
benefits can be enjoyed when pro-
ducers and dealers generally come to
understand the grades which In
spectors apply, and constantly work
with them In view. standardization
will promote efficiency, not only In
the butter industry, but Ia handllng
most perlshable fruits and vegetables.
With wide acceptance of federal
grades and standards, production
could be carried on far more profit
ably and distribution far more eco
nomlcally than Mt present. Anyone
