Raising  Ducks. 
Why  more  people  do  not  rnise  ducks 
more  extensively  in  preference  to  chick¬ 
ens,  seems  strange,  and  seeing  several 
queries  in  our  paper  regarding  ducks 
has  led  me  to  thirds  perhaps  the  experi¬ 
ence  of  a  few  duck  raisers  might  he  of 
benefit  right  now.  The  white  Pekin 
duck  should  be  given  the  preference  for 
a  quick  meat  producer*  as  well  as 
bringing  a  higher  price  on  the  market 
than  the  smaller  breeds.  The  meat  of 
the  duckling  at  tile  “broiler”  ago  is  whole¬ 
some  as  well  as  nutritious;  in  flavor  it 
is  fit  for  a  king,  and  is  in  growing  demand 
in  the  markets  of  the  larger  cities.  With 
a  reasonable  amount  of  care,  to  keep  a 
dry  place  for  them  to  sleep,  plenty  of 
feed  and  fresh  water  the  young  ducks 
will  be  ready  for  market  at  the  age  of 
from  eight  to  10  weeks.  This  care,  of 
course,  I  have  found,  has  much  to  do 
with  their  steady  development. 
Ducks  are  easily  raised,  the  raiser  is 
not  troubled  by  heavy  losses  from  dif¬ 
ferent  diseases,  as  in  chick  raising, 
neither  are  they  troubled  with  lice  and 
mites,  the  deadly  enemy  of  the  little 
chicks.  From  my  own  experience  and 
from  the  experience  of  veterans  in  the 
business  the  most  successful  method 
seems  to  be  not  to  feed  the  little  ducks 
until  36  hours  old.  then  keep  on  a  ration 
of  equal  parts  of  bread  crumbs  and  rolled 
oats  fed  alternately  dry  and  moistened 
with  milk.  Feed  six  times  a  day  for 
two  weeks;  feed  on  a  board,  removing 
it  after  they  have  been  feeding  15  min¬ 
utes.  Give  plenty  of  fresh  water  in 
shallow  pans,  deep  enough  so  their  bills 
may  be  wet  above  the  nostrils.  After 
two  weeks  a  mash  of  wheat  bran,  corn 
meal  and  middlings  can  he  fed  four  times 
a  day.  Grit  is  given  with  the  first  feed 
and  kept  by  them  constantly;  green 
food  and  meat  scraps  supplied.  Last 
year  the  ducks  we  raised  were  allowed 
free  range  after  two  weeks  and  foraged 
for  their  green  food  and  meat  scrap. 
Their  feed  was  at  first  rolled  oats  dry 
alternately  with  broad  or  corn  bread 
moistened  in  milk.  They  were  fed  five 
times  a  day  for  the  first  three  weeks 
and  three  times  a  day  after  that.  At 
eight  weeks  they  weighed  five  pounds 
each.  They  were  given  all  the  fresh 
water  needed,  with  a  pan  of  sour  milk 
each  side.  K.  c.  w.

Parcel  Post  Egg  Shipments 
With  the  advent  of  parcel  post  many 
poultry  men  and  farmers  can  now  market 
eggs  direct  if  they  are  willing  to  go  to 
the  extra  trouble  entailed  in  the  pro¬ 
duction  and  marketing  of  choice  eggs 
direct  to  customers.  There  are  several 
things  that  must  be  considered  in  this 
branch  of  poultry  keepiug.  Among  those 
that  must  be  considered  are; 
Breakage. — Many  people  are  skepti¬ 
cal  regarding  the  safety  of  shipping  eggs 
by  post.  With  proper  packing  the  break¬ 
age  will  be  but  a  small  item.  We  live 
in  the  second  zone  from  New  York  City 
and  during  the  last  10  months  have 
shipped  over  four  hundred  dozeu  eggs  by 
post  to  that  town  and  Brooklyn.  Our 
breakage  has  amounted  to  oue-half  dozen 
eggs.  This  will  compare  very  favorably 
with  express  breakage.  New*  York  City 
has  the  reputation  for  heavy  breakage  of 
post-sent  eggs. 
Boxes  and  Packing. — The  shipping 
boxes  wTe  use  are  standard  made  goods 
and  are  advertised  in  most  farm  papers. 
We  ship  mostly  in  two  and  four  dozen, 
lots.  To  insure  satisfactory  arrival  we 
found  it  best  to  wrap  each  egg  carefully 
iu  cotton  waste  or  some  material  equally 
as  soft,  though  we  have  used  paper  when 
short  of  cotton.  Tear  off  a  piece  of  cot¬ 
ton  that  will  cover  the  egg  nicely  and 
after  folding  it  about  the  egg  place  it  in 
the  respective  coll.  The  eggs  must  be  so 
packed  that  they  will  not  rattle  when  the 
box  is  violently  shaken.  After  seeing 
that  the  box  is  properly  packed  tie  it 
securely  with  strong  twine. 
Cost. — The  extra  labor  necessary  to 
market  eggs  in  this  way  must  be  taken 
into  consideration  if  the  business  reaches 
much  size.  The  boxes  will  cost  from  10 
to  12  cents  for  the  two-dozen  size.  The 
packing  material  must  be  added  to  this 
and  twine,  labels,  etc.,  must,  he  included. 
A  box  will  generally  make  several  trips, 
we  place  the  average  cost  at  one  cent  per 
dozen  eggs.  Postage  on  two  dozen  eggs 
in  the  second  zone  will  he.  nine  cents,  for 
four  dozen,  if  good  size,  13  cents.  Thus 
it  is  seen  that  the  consumer  must  pay  sev¬ 
eral  cents  per  dozen  over  the  highest, 
wholesale  market  price  if  the  shipper  is 
to  get  anything  for  his  trouble.  We  have 
found  it  best  to  charge  the  consumer  10 
cents  for  the  box,  and  remit  the  same 
when  the  box  is  returned.  The  boxes 
are  light  and  can  be  shipped  back  in  lots 
of  four  or  six  if  tied  together  securely. 
Quality. — One  must  not  labor  under 
the  delusion  that  any  eggs  will  do  to 
ship  in  this  method.  The  best  are  not 
any  too  good  and  all  precaution  must 
be  used  to  keep  them  up  to  the  high 
standard.  See  that  the  eggs  are  uniform 
both  in  color  and  size.  We  find  that 
most  of  our  customers  are  not  very  par¬ 
ticular  as  t<i  color  if  the  size  is  good.  We 
do  not  hesitate  to  ship  brown  eggs  if 
short  of  white.  All  eggs  must  be  can¬ 
dled  to  eliminate  those  that  have  blood 
clots.  The  rupture  of  a  small  blood  ves¬ 
sel  in  the  oviduct  will  leave  a  blood  clot 
in  the  egg,  and  if  a  customer  finds  any 
of  these  nothing  will  make  him  think 
but  what  it  was  a  stale  egg.  A  tester 
such  as  is  used  for  testing  incubator  eggs 
will  do  for  this  work.  Candling  will 
also  expose  poor  shells,  and  let  me  state 
that  some  eggs  have  very  porous  shells, 
which  would  be  liable  to  break  before 
reaching  their  destination.  Little  de¬ 
fects  that  are  invisible  to  the  eye  are 
readily  detected  with  the  tester.

s. — This  naturally  is  the 
most  important  point  as  far  as  the  ship¬ 
per  is  concerned.  There  are  many  city 
families  that  welcome  the  chance  to  run 
up  a  bill  on  a  farmer  and  then  laugh  at 
him.  Most  families  prefer  to  settle  every 
two  weeks  or  once  a  month.  If  credit 
is  given  see  that  the  party  has  a  rating. 
State  to  all  others  that  you  do  only  a 
cash  business.  The  extra  work  necessary 
in  the  farm-to-tablc  work  demands  that 
the  price  be  enough  greater  to  pay  for  the 
labor,  etc.  It  should  pay  at  least  five 
cents  above  the  highest  wholesale  price ; 
this  will  not  be  any  too  much  from  the 
shipper’s  standpoint.  Summing  the 
whole  matter  up  we  would  say  that  it 
pays  to  cater  to  the  retail  trade,  hut  it  is 
a  business  that  requires  personal  super¬ 
vision,  and  one  that  cannot  be  left  to 
hired  help.  J.  c.  WICKHAM.
