Black and White Muscovy Ducks 
Will you tell me the difference, if any, 
between the black and white Muscovy 
ducks? Is the white breed as hardy and 
easy to raise as the blacks? I have raised 
the blacks very successfully, but was 
thinking of changing to the white, for the 
reason that the black pin feathers show 
so plainly when they are prepared for 
market. G. S. 
Horseheads, X. Y. 
The Muscovy is in reality a goose, and 
forms, with other members, one of the 
sub-orders of that group. There are three 
species, the White, Colored, and Blue, of 
which the Colored are the more common, 
the White ranking next, and the Blue 
last. We find the White ..uscovy just 
as hardy as the Colored, and keep them in 
the same conditions as the Colored va¬ 
riety. All our Muscovies are kept out of 
doors on our lake all Winter. They are 
given a house where they may seek shelter 
during prolonged sleet or snowstorms, 
but as a rule they stay in the water and 
wander about on the land surrounding our 
lake. G. T. D.

Mr. Poultryman, How Much 
Money Are You Going To 
Make Next Winter? 
To a great extent this will be deter¬ 
mined by your good or bad judgment 
now in placing your order for baby 
chicks. Good chicks only come from 
good eggs, and good eggs only come 
from good breeding stock, and good 
breeding stock only comes from gen¬ 
erations of good breeding. 
THE LORD FARMS’ SINGLE COMBED 
WHITE LEGHORNS 
have generations and generations of 
good breeding back of them. If you 
buy your chicks from Lord Farms 
you will get an even, uniform lot of 
stock that will mature early, for 
their size.
