THE HENYARD 
Yes. We Couldn’t Sell Duck Eggs 
We sympathize with J. A. R. (page 
357!)), who couldn’t sell duck eggs. We 
had the same experience, only more of it. 
We bought a pen of Indian Runners, and 
liked them so well that we decided to 
breed a flock. We had good success, 
and the next year had about a hundred. 
When they got to laying it looked like 
a bonanza, beautiful, big white eggs scat¬ 
tered all over the yard every morning, j 
But we soon found that few people would 
have them. 
They said they do not beat, and are not 
suitable for baking. They do beat. Mrs. 
Locke used them all the time, for all 
kiuds of baking. And they are so much 
larger that she used only two-thirds as 
many as hen eggs in all recipes. 
They said duck eggs are strong, and un¬ 
pleasant in flavor. Indian Runner eggs 
are neither of these. We ate them regu¬ 
larly, cooked in all sorts of ways, and 
would say that, if any difference, they are 
milder than hen eggs. 
But the fact remains, that most people 
have an unreasonable prejudice against 
duck eggs. Why, I cannot see. Here is 
an example to show that it is unreason¬ 
able. We had a woman customer who 
wished to use our duck eggs, but said her 
husband would not touch one if he knew 
it. So she fed them to him quite a while, 
saying nothing. lie ate them contentedly, 
with no suspicion of the change. Finally 
she told him he had been eating duck 
eggs, thinking that he would be convinced 
that they were all right. Not much ! It 
was all off, and not another one would 
he touch. 
We “fixed it” in our case by selling off 
the flock to the butcher, and gave up try¬ 
ing to sell duck eggs. But when a gen¬ 
eration arises with sense enough to appre¬ 
ciate the extra value in a dozen Indian 
Runner eggs, as compared with a dozen 
hen eggs we should like to try it again.

Roup 
Some of my hens become blind, the 
eye gone, and perhaps a cheesy substance 
in the eye. What is the trouble, and a 
remedy for it? J. E. 
These birds undoubtedly are suffering 
from roup, with the inflammation and its 
product largely confined to the eyes. This 
may spread later, however, and cause the 
appearance of the symptoms of general¬ 
ized group in other members of the flock. 
All affected birds should be removed from 
the flock and kept by themselves until cer¬ 
tainly cured or until it becomes evident 
that a cure will not be effected. The eyes 
and nostrils, if the latter show a dis¬ 
charge, should be cleansed several times 
daily with some simple disinfectant solu¬ 
tion, like boric acid in water, one ounce 
to the quart. After cleansing, one or two 
drops of a 15 per cent solution of argyrol, 
to be obtained at the druggists, may be 
put into each eye. If “cankers,” or 
patches of false membrane appear in the 
mouth, they should be touched with tinc¬ 
ture of iodine upon a swab. Vaccination 
with the bacterins used to control roup 
by conferring immunity may be practiced. 
Disinfection of utensils used by affected 
birds is necessary to prevent spread of 
the disease. M- b. d - 
Feeding Chicks 
I intend to go in for broilers, using a 
Rock or a Red chick. How is this for 
feeding? First two days, hard-boiled 
eggs, shell ground with eggs, then rolled 
oats dry, and a mash of three parts corn- 
meal, one part bran, damp with sweet¬ 
ened milk. ‘Can I use condensed milk? 
Could I use a little cottonseed in mash, to 
put on fat? No feed till 24 hours old. 
Gainesville, Va. D. J. A. 
Hard-boiled eggs are much used in 
chick feeding, and rolled oats are excel¬ 
lent. Eggs are rich in food elements and 
should not be fed in too great quantity. 
Your mash would be improved by the ad¬ 
dition of wheat products; make it equal 
parts by weight of cornmeal, sifted’ground 
oats, wheat middlings and sifted beef 
scrap, with two parts of wheat bran add¬ 
ed. The sifting of the ground oats and 
beef scrap is for the purpose of taking out 
the coarse hulls and larger parts of the 
scrap for chicks under five or six weeks 
old. Either sweet or skim-milk may be 
used to moisten mash, though sour skim- 
milk or buttermilk is preferred. Semi¬ 
solid buttermilk, if milk is to be pur¬ 
chased, would be much better than con¬ 
densed milk, and would cost less. Do not 
use cottonseed meal in the mash. It is 
not a fattening food and is of doubtful 
value in a poultry mash. M. b. d.
