Duck Raising Very Easy
When Weather Gets Warm

Duck raising is very easy If you be-
gin when the weather gets warm.
They should be Matched past the mid
die Of May; it is usually warm by that
time of year.

of Huntsville, Tenn, in the Southern
Ruralist. Keep plenty Of water at all
times, also some sand handy for them
to get. Feed close to water as they
take bit of food and then drink of
water and will continue to do that
until they get enough. Feed five times
a day, mostly soft food, until large

Root Stock Can
Be Propagated
Most Fruits Do Not Repro
duce Profitable Varieties
From Seed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricuiture.)
Although the ordinary fruit tree is
an assembled article" In which the
part under ground is generally grown
from seed and the part above ground
is the result of grating bud on the
Seeding root stock, horticulturists in
the past have confined their improve
ment efforts to the part of the tree
above ground. Recently, however, the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, has undertaken to bring about
further Improvement by developing a
method of producing better root stocks,
or underground parts on which to
graft or bud the desired varieties.
vegetative Propagation.
1t is well known by nurserymen and
orchardists that most fruits do not re-
produce varieties from seed; that bud
ding or some other form of vegetative
propagation must therefore be used to
multiply given variety. 1t is not so
we'll recognized, however, that Seeding
root stocks also vary in their hered-
ltary makeup. The practice of pro-
1ucing most root stocks from seed is
probably responsible for much of the
irregularity in their performance and
the ultimate failure of many orchard
trees.
Guy E. Yerkes, horticulturist in the
bureau of plant industry of the de-
partment, has conducted enough tests
to show that some root stocks can be
propagated by means Of root cuttings
and in this way faithfully reproduce
the mother root system. The mother
trees selected have shown exceptional
vigor and indications Of resistance to
Insects and diseases. The vegetative
propagations from these mother trees
are being tested to determine their
affinity for the varieties worked on
them and their adaptability to wide
range of conditions by planting in Or
chardS.
Rapid Propagation.
Several apple, cherry, and plum
selections already made are showing
superiority over Seeding stocks In the
nursery. By propagating them vege-i
tatively-by means of cuttings or lay
ers rather than by seed-the charac-
teristics of the mother plant are as
sured in the progeny. inexpensive
and rapid propagation of the selected
and proved individuals is an inn
portant problem. Much of the diff
Guilty experienced at first in that con-
nection has been overcome and meth
DDS have been developed which promise
commercial application of this means
of improving the underground part Of
fruit trees. Several years tests under
orchard conditions will be necessary
to bring out the qualities Of these
selected stocks before introducing
them.

Treatment Necessary to
Eradicate Little Mites

One can very readily detect mites
in the house by noting either the gray

that can be noted. Nests that are
nailed together or roosts that are not
treated will show this grayish dust.
In most cases mites will indicate them.

farm focks refuse to roost in the
house during the summer but prefer
some adjacent building or the trees.
AS treatment 1t is necessary to
select the material that will penetrate
and not rapidly evaporate. The great
objection to kerosene lies in the fact
that It will kill some of the mites on
the surface but evaporates too rapid

Number of Methods
to Handle Machines
Units Were First SteriliZed
by Heating in Water.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment Of Agriculture.)
A number of methods of handling
milking units between milk
ings have been tested by the bureau of
dairy industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture. In all
the methods tested the units were first
sterilized by heating in water at a
temperature of 100 to 1G5 degrees
Fahrenheit for 20 to as minutes and
then were disposed of until the next
milking as follows: (1) Placing in Il
weak chlorine solution; (2) allowing
them to remain between Eilkings in
the water in which they were steril'
lied; go placing them in refrigera-
tor; and az placing them in a warm
room. The bacterial counts of the
milk handled in these four ways
showed that the methods rank in eff
cheney in the order named. The weak
chlorine solution method gave an aver
age count of 900 bacteria per cubic
centimeter; the water method. 2,570
bacteria per cubic centimeter; the re-
frigerator method, an average of
300 bacteria; and the warm-room
method, an average of $40 bacteria
per cubic centimeter. Sterilizing at a
temperature of 145 to $50 degrees
Fahrenheit and holding in the water
between milkings allowed an average
of 1880 bacteria per cubic cent?.

Fatten Ducks Intended

Ducks to be marketed should be

bran, one-half part of beef scraps. to-

per cent green feed The mash should
be fed thrice daily. The green feed is
sometimes left out of the ration dur,

hut it is always easier to keep the
ducks on good feed by supplying the

secured at low prices, ii affords

Growing Onion Crop

In growing crop of onions, it is
well to remember that as a general
rule it Is the early sown crop which
produces the. best yield. The seed
should be sown after the danger of
hard freezes is over. The ground
should be we'll prepared, free from
weeds, and all coarse trash and litter
should be raked off in order to make
cultivation easier. The seed is sown
at the rate Of three to five pounds per
acre in rows anywhere from IL to IA
inches apart.
