The brooders and brooding systems

in rearing ducklings. Hot-water pipe
systems have probably been used more
extensively by commercial duck grow

Sheep and large lambs are very apt
to trouble young trees and grape vines
by eating the leaves. In an old orch

keep down the grass and weeds. Both
orchards and vineyards do better
when the ground is kept cultivated
clean.
