him and shot twice, striking him
Just above the heart. He died a

DUCK RAISING is PROFITABLE
Production of Meat and Runners
for Eggs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuiture)
Although ducks do not appear to
be as well adapted as chickens as a
source of income to average farm
conditions, yet many farmers are find
ing duck raising profitable as side
issue to their other farm operations.
Tie 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 35 days.
The eggs may be hatched either nat
urally by hens or ducks or artificial
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
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 hatched
under hens. Duck eggs should be
washed if dirty, for it does not ap-
pear to injure their Matching quail
ties.
Before setting a 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

and do not disturb them until they
become restless, when it may be best
to remove the ducklings that hatched

lings from "a to 48 hours to hatch
after they pick the shells; therefore
it 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
he sprinkled literally with warm wa
ters 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
tihcially than chickens, but they may
also be raised under hens success

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 O different number
of punch marks for each year so that
their age can be readily determined
