First Egg of an Eight-months-old Barred Rock—Natural Size 
ing, as it gives the surplus egg food time 
to digest aud leave the system, and then 
the duckling is ready to start for No. 1 
brooder. The brooders are heated with 
a hot water system. Some people have 
what is termed a single or double brooder 
system. Of course all large farms use 
the double system. The houses are_ con¬ 
structed with cement foundation, 125 feet 
long and 20 to 24 feet wide, three to four 
feet siding from sill to plate, with about 
lS-ineh cement foundation, making about 
I six feet in the clear. The amount of 
’ windows for light on the side wall is up 
to the man himself. We use about one 
sash every six feet. These buildings are 
I constructed by first making the frame and 
then covering with %-ineh boards, then 
paper aud then shingles, this making it 
wind-proof. A rough coat of plaster is 
used for interior walls. The inside is 
cut into pens five feet wide, making in 
125-ft. house 25 pens on each side. A 
partition is run down the center and a 
walk made of boards forming a hover. 
Over the top four flow and four return 
pipes of 144 size are generally used, and 
two flows and two returns are run around 
the side walls, making it warm all over 
the house. The temperature must be 
kept from 70 to SO degrees at all times 
for the first teu days. The small duck¬ 
lings are fed food the nearest to nature 
that can be obtained first three days, 
hard-boiled eggs, shredded wheat waste 
and fine sand. This feed is kept before 
them all the time. After they become 
accustomed to eating and drinking and 
from three to 10 days, cut out the eggs 
and add one part bran, one-half part 
meal and a little beef scrap. 
After the ducklings have reached 10 
days old they are removed to No. 2 
brooder, built practically the same, only 
not SO high in temperature. This build¬ 
ing is built on a single plan, making the 
pens full width of the house, and the 
hover being instead of 2x;> feet 4x5 feet, 
giving the ducks a pen 22 feet long and 
live feet wide. This gives the ducklings 
more range. They are kent in this build- 
in'’’ about two weeks, and then they are 
moved to No. 2 brooder. This building 
only has heating capacity enough to take 
the'chill otT because the ducks are allowed 
to go out in the yards, as when dnekhugs 
become three weeks old they need inure 
range aud also plenty of freeli uii\ The 
pens of this house are l(>x_0 feet. 1 he 
outside yards cau be made any desired 
der the circumstances you should have a 
local graduate veterinarian make the 
necessary examination and prescribe ap¬ 
propriate treatment. 
Hard Milker 
I have just bought a fine cow and find 
she is a hard milker, giving a very small 
stream. Can I do anything to make the 
milking easier? I read in The R. N.-Y. 
about inserting cloves in the teats. Would 
it do any good in this case? F. R. S. B. 
Connecticut. 
A clove is useful for insertion in the 
duct between milkings in a case where a 
scab forms upon a sore at the tip of the 
teat. We do not think it would avail 
in the condition you mention. It would 
be well to use a dilator of the glove 
finger stretcher pattern two or three times 
a day. and if that does not mend matters 
a veterinarian should be employed to slit 
down through the stricture or growth in 
four directions. After the operation strip 
away a little milk often daily during the 
healing process. 
Tumor 
I have a horse with a lump on his 
knee; it lias been a year or more. When 
I first noticed it. it was about as large 
as a walnut; it is now as large as a 
good-sized hen’s egg. If you know of a 
remedy publish it in The R. N.-Y. 
New York. J. u. 
It is unlikely that the lump or tumor 
can be removed without cutting, but you 
might try the effects of iodine ointment 
rubbed in daily after removal of the hair. 
If the lump causes lameness It would be 
best to clip off the hair and blister the 
part with a mixture of one dram of bi¬ 
chloride of mercury and one ounce of 
lard. Tie the horse up short. Rub the 
blister for 15 minutes, wash it off in 4S 
hours, then apply lard daily. Repeat 
the blistering, if necessary, in three or 
four weeks. 
“And you call yourself a lover of 
peace!” said Mr. Rafferty. ‘‘I do.” ans¬

A Monstrous Egg 
The egg shown at natural size in the 
picture was laid January 6, 1919, by an 
eight-months-old Barred Rock pullet, be¬ 
ing her first egg. It weighed 544 ounces, 
was Q44 inches in largest circumference, 
744 the other way, aud 344 inches long. 
Inside the shell was a normal white aud 
yolk, and another egg of medium size, 
with a complete shell—an egg within an 
<‘gg. 
This pullet is one of a small flock kept 
in a backyard by Mr. Thomas C. Harden, 
of Brooklyn, N. Y. She is a large, well- 
developed bird, aud has been laying regu¬ 
larly eggs of normal size since this big 
one was produced. 
Last Summer Mr. Harden and his fam¬ 
ily had a three-months vacation on a farm 
in the Berkshires, and the hens were 
taken along in an automobile, being given 
free range after they got on the farm. 
Their backyard house and yard are com¬ 
fortable and neatly kept, the caretaker 
being a Russian woman who has lived 
many years in Mr. Harden’s family. 
size. We always feed inside this house, 
and water outside. By this means one 
can keep the floor dry. The litter or 
bed of all three brooders is covered with 
oat straw and cleaned out every week. 
The drinking fountains used in No. 1 
and No. 2 brooder are two-quart size, 
washed and refilled each time after feed¬ 
ing. In No. 3 ducks are watered in 
V-trough or five-gallon fountain. The 
ducklings in No. 1 and No. 2, after three 
days old. are fed four times a day, six 
A. M., 10 A. M., two P. M. and six 
P. M. In No. 3 they are fed three times 
a day, six A. M., 12 M. and six P. M.

Brief Story of Duck Raising 
Part III. 
After the eggs are through hatching 
and the shells have been removed from 
the incubator the ducks can remain in 
the machine for at least 24 hours. As 
I stated before, it is better for the duck¬ 
lings to be allowed to remain in the incu¬ 
bator for 24 hours after through hatch-
