TELLS WILD-DUCk FANCIERS
HOW TO RAISE YOUNG BIRDS

Uncle Sam is the best friend the
wild ducks have, and it follows that he
has warm spot in his heart for the
wild fowler, too. In the interests of
both he has prepared lcahet on the
propagation of wild ducks which may
be had from the Bureau of Biological
Survey, United States Department of
Agriculture, by anyone who asks dor
it.
Mallards are the easiest to handle,
with wood duck coming next. Black
ducks need more space than either of
these because they arc more scnitivc
"a bit "wilder." Widgeon and teal
need winter shelter, if grown in the
North, to greater extent than their
cousins, but the provisions for shelter
need not be elaborate. For most ducks
and most climates simple, thrcc-sid-
ed shack is sufficient, though extreme
cold weather should find the ducks in
tight building with plenty of litter
