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

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
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 a side
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 35 days.
The eggs may be Matched either nat
urally by hens or ducks or artificial
ly in incubatOrs. Strong, fertile eggs
are 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 Matched
under hens. Duck eggs should be
washed if dirty, for it does not APP
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
ting hens should be fed whole or
cracked grains, such as corn or wheat.
Place 9 to II ducks eggs under a 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 ducklings that Matched
first.

CAUSE OF TEAT AFFECTIONS
Hands Of Mixer Should Be Kept
Clean and Finger Nails Trimmed
Quite Closely.

Milking with uncleansed wet hands
Is fertile cause Of teat affections.
The teats and udder should be
cleansed each time before milking
and the mixers hands also should be
kept clean. The finger nails Of the
mixer should be kept close-trimmed
and wheh milking care be taken not to
squeeze the tips of the teats too hard.
Such bruising is the cause Of cOndi-
ton which we have termed "cOrns" of
the teats. The skin becomes hardened,
horny or calloused and milking then
becomes difficult, or the milk sprays
during extraction. Dirty and con-
tami0ated stall floors and allowing
cows to lie upon dirty, wet ground, or
wade in stagnant water or drag their
udders through wet and filth on the
way to the stable are other causes;
and common cause of sores on the
tip of the hind teats is bruises from
stepping upon them when crossing a
sill into the stable or by trampling In
narrow stalls.

MANURE IS BEST FERTILIZER
Contains Plenty Of Humus and All
Other Necessary Plant Foods
Add Acid Phosphate.

The home gardener who can get a
load of well-rOtted stable manure need
not worry about fertilizer anyone who
has ever done any gardening Is well
aware.
Manure contains humus in plenty
and all the necessary plant materials
as well as bacteria which put these
materials into the most disable shape
for crops. To get the full benefit Of
stable manure, however, it should be
balanced with acid phosphate which
is comparatively inexpensive, garden
ers at the Iowa state college of agri-
culture say.
An application of one ton of stable
manure, which is about an average
twO-hOrse load, is not too much for a
garden 30 by 60 feet, and so pounds
Of acid phosphate may be used with it.
Fresh stable manure should not be
applied in the spring. 1t contains too
much readily available nitrogen and
may cause in some plants a growth
of stems and leaves at the expense Of
fruits. This is especially true of to-

every farm, and improving farm dairy
products by practical demonstrations
in schools and in farm kitchens. In
Louisiana 274 cOttage-cheese demon
STATIONS, POT butter-making demon
STATIONS, and 236 demonstrations on
milk products were made, and rs
meetings were held. AS a result, 2,69S
families were reported as using more
milk, 17S cows were brought in where
there were none before, "a boys and
girls clubs were organized, and much
improved dairy apparatus was pur-
chased.
In South Carolina the activities re-
suited in the increased use of milk In
1884 families and in the purchase of
70 family cows. Sixty demonstrations
were given in butter making and 80 In
making other dairy products. The
work in Mississippi resulted in placing
800 family cows in IL counties and In
the purchase of 2,O4O pieces Of i'm

were organized in IL counties, 40 meet
ings were held, and 76 demonstrations

TRAIN CALF FOR SHOW RING
to Being Handled by Strangers and
to Stand Erect.

When well-fed and properly devel-
Oped calf is brought into the show ring
it should present pleasing appear
ance. 1t should be clean, well groomed,
halter broken and trained. To train
calf. say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, put
a halter on it and teach it to lead and
to stand squarely on all four feet with
head alert so as to exhibit its best fea-
lures. 1t should become accustomed to
being handled by strangers, seeing
strange sights, and hearing unusual
sounds. A good calf is frequently
placed below an inferior one because
the judge cannot put his hand on 1t to
Judge it correctly.

UTILIZATION OF FARM LAND
Value Of Place Depends Upon What
Proportion Of Total Area Can
Be Made Productive.

Effective utilization of farm land
means high percentage of income
producing area, say specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. The value of farm depends
upon what proportion of it's total area
is productive. Compare a farm of 100
acres at 5000 an acre, 95 acres being
in shape to yield available products,
with another farm of the same acre
age at $50 an acre, but with only IS
productive acres. If all the other fea-
lures of the two farms are similar,
the former should be the most profit
able because its protit-producing land
costs but $120 an acre against $3.50 an
acre on the second farm.

lings from "a to 40 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
be sprinkled 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.

SELECT EGGS FOR SETTING
Small and Poorly Shaped
Stick to One Color.

Eggs that are abnormally small and
poorly shaped should not be uesd for
incubation; neither should eggs that
have thin or very porous shells, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. If possible.
eggs should be set when fresh, and it
is never advisable to use for hatch
ting eggs that are more than two weeks
old. One of the quickest ways to OBJ
tain uniformity in the off spring is
TO select uniformly goOd-sized eggs
