Quacks Are Easier to Raise Than Chickens and Mature Earlier. Ducks are much easier to raise than chickens and reach the roaster stage much quicker, writes a correspondent of the Farm and Fireside. The chief requirements of ducks are plenty of water, grit, all the suitable feed they will clean up three times a day while growing, and at all times to be handled or disturbed as little hs possible. More ducks are killed by unneces- sary handling, chilling and underfeed- BEMIDIJI BUSINESS DIRECTORY CLASSIFIED ALPHABETICALLY ABSTRACTS OF TITLE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ‘Wholesale and Retail DRY CLEANING Clothes Cleaners ing than by all other causes combined.

Another duck fallacy that still re- ceives credit among many is that ducks ¥ | must have sufficient water in which to swim. Out of a flock of thirty-six raised last summer the entire wa- ter supply was furnished in flat three gallon jars. Only one was lost out of the flock, and the one death was caused by accident. Another cause of the unpopularity of ducks is the mistake that is made in hatching them too early and holding the ducks for weeks or months after they have arrived at marketing age so as to get the advantage of better prices during the holidays. For the green roaster age, ten or twelve weeks will be sufficient time to mature them. In the summer, when my flock of thirty-six ducks were getting all the green feed they could eat, they con- sumed only fifteen pounds of feed a day, which was all they could clean up. The mash was composed of two pounds wheat bran, one and one-half pounds middlings, one and one-half pounds corn and oat chop and one and one-half pounds of coarse, sifted sand mixed with water and skimmilk. This was fed them from the fifth day until maturity. For the first five days bread 8squeezed out of milk, liberally sprin- kled with sand, was their diet. ‘When confined, ducks should have all of the green feed they will consume. N ‘When young I feed onion tops, lettuce, S WG clover and grass chopped fine. DY ,:"r ESeq . T Unless the ducks can have free range T el T P gty they require beef scrap or other form ) n;:* of animal food at the rate of 8 to b ) 10 per cent of the mash fed. It is an » uneconomical practice to feed ducks unground grain, and for young ducks it is dangerous as well. 1t is important to have the mash fed moist, but not sloppy. Not long ago I lost a valuable Buff Orpington duck by allowing it to .eat the mash dry with- out moistening. It choked to death. Poultry on the Farm. On the general run of farms it would not be advisable, nor would it be as profitable, to keep the poultry in pens as to let them have free range. There is such a large quantity of good feed lying around every farm that it would pay to keep chickens just to pick up this waste feed. So a flock on free range is almost imperative on most farms. But the custom of using the )| eggs for hatching from the promiscu- ous flock is not a good one. At least one pen of chickens should be kept apart for breeding purposes. A dozen or fifteen of the best hens should be selected, with the best male obtain- able, and kept in a yard apart from the general flock.
