DUCK RAISING is PROFITABLE
Pekins Are Most Popular Breed TOT
Productionzof Meat and Runners
for Eggs.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
Although ducks do not appear 10
be as well adapted as chickens as
source of income to average farm
conditions, yet many farmers are ind
ing duck raising profitable as a size
issue to their other farm operations
The demand for table ducks in the
cities seems to be on the increase.
The period of incubation for ducks
eggs is % days. except for the MUS
covy duck, which is 33 to 80 days.
The eggs may be Matched either nat
urally by hens or ducks or artlhciai-
ly in incubators. Strong, fertile eggs
are a prime essential to good hatch-
ing and are obtained only from stock
properly mated and kept under the
best possible conditions to secure
health and vigor. Eggs from overfat
breeding stock do not usually produce
a large percentage of strong duck
lings. Pekin and Indian Runner
ducks rarely sit; consequently If nat
ural methods Of incubation are to be
used. the eggs are usually Matched
under hens. Duck. eggs should be
washed if dirty, for it does not ap-
pear to injure their Matching quail
ties.
Before setting q hen dust her thor
oughly with insect powder. In ap-
plying this powder hold the hen by
the feet, with her head hanging down,
and work it thoroughly into the feath-
ers, giving special attention around
the vent and under the wings. Sit
ting hens should be fed whole or
cracked grains, such as corn or wheat.
Place to IL ducks eggs under hen,
depending on her size and the sea-
son of the year, using the smaller
number of eggs in cold weather and
the larger number in warm weather.
COnfine the hens at Matching time
and do not disturb them until they
become restless, when it may be best
to remove the ducklinEs that Matched
first.
Hens must be we'll cared for in
Matching ducks eggs, as the period of

Quoted by the United States Depart

with purebreds only, but every ami
NAL they buy or sell in addition to
being purebred must pass a standard
Of excellence. The methods of one
breeder in Upshur county, West V1r-
ginia, according to a report received
by the department, illustrate this
tendency. This breeder has fine
herd of Angus cattle. All calves which
fall below the standard of excellence
that he has set are not registered, but
are either castrated or sold on the

MILK PRODUCED FOR MARKET
Monthly Reports Show Wide Variation
Through Year-cost in Winter Is
Quite High.
-

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
In winter the cost of feed, bedding
and pasture amounts to 80 per cent OF
the yearly cost of producing milk in
typical Vermont dairy section, While
in summer it amounts to 15.9 per cent.
specialists Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture found as a
result of a study covering two years
In section Of that state where milk
was produced for market. The report
of this study is now published in De
partment Bulletin 923, unit Require
ments for Producing Milk in Vermont"
While the figures obtained shoW the
requirements of producing milk in that
particular section, and may be approx
innate Of the requirements in similar
sections, the specialists point out that
they do not apply to dairy sections
where other conditions and methods of
management prevail.
It was found that 81 pounds Of
concentrates were required to produce
100 pounds of milk in winter, while to
produce the same amount in summer
only 81 pounds were necessary. Other
requirements for producing this
amount Of milk in winter were: Haul
Ing and grinding concentrates, 2 cents; ;
dry roughage, 1899 pounds; sflage
and other succulent roughage, 1913
pounds; bedding, 11.2 pounds; man
labor, 81 hours; horse labor, O.6
hour; other costs, $50 cents.
In summer the unit requirements
for producing 100 pounds of milk other
than concentrates were: Hauling and
grinding concentrates. O.5 of a cent;
dry roughage, 1877 pounds; silage and
other succulent roughage, 27.8 pounds;

lings from "a to 48 hours to hatch
after they pick the Shells; therefore
1t is advisable to allow the hen to
get off the nest for feed and water
when the first ducklings pick the
shell and then cOnfine her to the nest
until the Matching Is over. Ducks
eggs need more moisture than hens
eggs at Matching time, as it takes the
ducks much longer to get out of the
shell. Poultry specialists in the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
advise, therefore, that the eggs should
be sprnkled literally with warm wa
ter previous to Matching.
All duck eggs should be tested at
least twice during incubation prefer
ably On the seventh and fourteenth
days, and the infertile eggs and those
with dead germs removed. Dead
germs in duck eggs decOmpose very
rapidly and are often detected by their
odor and should be removed from the
incubator.
Duck eggs having pure white shells
can be tested as early as the fourth
or fifth day and the infertile eggs
sold to bakers for use in the kitchen.
Ducks are much easier to brood ar
tificially than chickens, but they may
also be raised under hens success
fully. If raised by the latter method,
it is advisable to confine the hens
and allow the ducklings free range,
as the hens are apt to wander too
far away with their broods. Duck
lings which are to be sold as green
ducks are not usually allowed much
range, but are fed heavily and forced
for rapid growth. The ducklings
which are to be kept for breeding
should have the web of their feet
punched, using different number
Of punch marks for each year so that
their age can be readily determined.
