Ducks are much easter 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 lttle As possible. More ducks are killed by unneces- sary handling, chilling and underfeed- ing than by all other causes combined. ‘Where they can be allowed free range they will pick up a larger por- tion of their food than will chickens. ‘The Buff Orpington duck is one of the new breeds. It was originafed in England by Willlam Cook, also the originator of the Orpington hen. ‘The duck is the largest, prolific lay- ing duck, in size equaling the Pe- king. It Is easy to raise, matures quickly and is ready for market at eight to ten weeks. Its flesh is ex- cellent. The bird shown is a Buff Orpington drake. of the same age, which reduces the cost of feed, and the animal protein feed in particular. If the feeding and watering are in- variably done in a certain deflnite place some distance from the house the ducks will not bother around the home building. ‘Whether yarded or on range, ducks must never be without fresh water, and it should be deep enough in the drinking vessel for them to immerse the entire head. Otherwise their eyes will get sore and their nostrils plugged up with the mash food. This condi- tion will cause death In a few days un- less relieved. Should the nostrils become gummed up, clean them out carefully with a crochet hook, holding their heads firm- 1y to prevent injury. R 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 1s 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 squeezed out of milk, liberally sprin- kled with sand, was their diet. ‘When confined, ducks should have all of the green feed they will consume. ‘When young I feed onion tops, lettuce, clover and grass chopped fine. Unless the ducks can have free range they require beef scrap or other form of animal food at the rate of 8 to 10 per cent of the mash fed. It is an uneconomical practice to feed ducks unground grain, and for young ducks it 18 dangerous as well. It 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. Foultry on the Farm. On the general run of farms it would not be advisable, nor would it be as profitable, te keep the poultry in pens a8 to let them have free range. There s 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 1range is almost imperative on ‘most farms. But the custom of using the eggs for hatching from the promiscu- ous flock is mot a good one. At least one pen of chickens should be kept apart for breeding purposes. A dozen or fifteen of the best hens sibuld be selected, with the best male obtain- able, and kept in a yard apart from the general flock.
