I want to tell you bow one man took $50 worth of my kind 
of pigeons and in two years multiplied them to sixteen hun¬ 
dred dollars in value, also selling chickens and eggs. He 
was a novice, started in a box stall. A true, convincing 
story, told by the man himself. You can do the same, or 
start smaller and grow. More experiences of the same 
kind, illustrated. Ask me for the book. It is free.

The Indian Runner Duck 
M UCH smaller than the more com¬ 
mon Pekins, and active, Indian 
Runner ducks have been called the Leg¬ 
horns of the duck family. There are 
three varieties, fawn and white, penciled 
and pure white, the last named being the 
least common and the highest in price. 
These ducks lay as well as hens. The 
eggs are somewhat larger than a hen’s, and 
are excellent for the table as well as cook¬ 
ing. From 130 to 150 eggs a season is not 
a record to occasion comment. The ducks 
eat scarcely more than a hen and will for¬ 
age for bugs as well as eating much grass 
if given their liberty. An eighteen-inch 
fence will confine them, which is a decided 
advantage, for such a fence is light enough 
to be portable and requires no gates, for 
the attendant can easily step over it. 
Low, cheap houses answer as well as 
more expensive ones. It is necessary only 
that they be dry and free from draughts. 
Neither nests nor perches are required, 
for the birds sleep on the floor and lay in 
the litter. 
The ducklings are easy to raise, do not 
need large yards, are not afflicted with 
vermin and may be driven about with the 
greatest ease, as may the mature ducks, in” 
fact, for they invariably move as a flock, 
instead of scattering in all directions as 
chickens do. They begin to lay when five 
months old, as a rule; sometimes when 
younger. 
Yet Indian Runners, like other ducks, 
have their faults. They are exceedingly 
dirty, to begin with, and their pens will 
emit a very disagreeable odor unless given 
constant care. They play in their drink¬ 
ing water and get themselves wet, and hav¬ 
ing web feet they track a large amount of 
mud into their houses.

Training the Dog—II 
W E will take it for granted that you 
have now had your puppy for a 
week or two, in which time you have 
gained some insight into his character, and 
he, on his side of the situation, has be¬ 
come thoroughly accustomed to his new 
surroundings and friends. Also it may 
be assumed that he is in normally good 
health and spirits. 
You are doubtless eager to begin the 
pup’s education, but before taking the first 
step in this direction, fix firmly, definitely 
and ineradicably in your mind these three 
words, which are as guide posts on the 
path to success as a dog trainer: patience, 
firmness and sense. Too great stress can¬ 
not be laid on the absolute essentialness of 
these three qualities. I wish that their 
prime importance could be drummed into 
the heads of dog owners in general for the 
sake of the trained as well as the trainer, 
because their application constitutes the 
underlying principle, the very foundation 
and bedrock of success in the handling of 
dogs. 
The very first thing that every dog 
must learn, provided he is to become a 
self-respecting and respected member of 
the household, is that what his master 
In writing to advertisers please mention House and Garden.
