“War Against Lice Continually 1 
(Continued from page J$7) 
Then I had three hundred, and I fed and 
attended to them just the same. They 
did finely for a time, but suddenly there 
seemed to be something wrong. I 
looked for lice but could not see any, and 
I did not want to put grease on them if it 
was not necessary as the weather was 
very cold. Although I did everything 
else that I could think of, they began to 
die. Again I examined them, this time 
with my spectacles on. Then I found 
the mites that were sucking their strength. 
As it does not take many days for chicks 
to weaken, they were very weak indeed 
by this time. I lost about one-third of 
my flock before conquering the lice. 
That experience is going to help me 
this year to keep in mind “War against 
lice continually.” This would be a 
good slogan for all chick raisers to adopt. 
I know I will save thirty dollars by 
adopting it.— Arabelle Smith, Pennsyl¬ 
vania.

GALION HATCHERY, 629 WEST CHURCH ST., GALION, OHIO 
Why We Think Ducks Are Prac¬ 
tical on the Average Farm 
W. H. DaBall 
T X 7E are situated about like the aver- 
VV age farmer: a little of everything, 
small dairy, general farming as one would 
call it, and ducks, of which we have a 
large flock. We keep no hens at all be¬ 
cause we think our ducks, Indian Runners, 
give us better results with less work. 
They have much in their favor. 
As strange as it may seem to the hen- 
man, the usual order of ham and eggs for 
breakfast is never lacking at our table 
even though Biddy is not a part of our 
farm equipment. The average farm flock 
of hens does not get the best of care and 
therefore does not return the farmer, 
especially during winter time, eggs enough 
to pay for their feed, partly due to lack of 
care. Without a doubt they are great- 
great-grandchildren of the little red hen 
who laid a hatful of eggs and then wanted 
to set. I am speaking of the average 
farmer’s flock who keeps a few hens be¬ 
cause it’s customary.

Hoyt’s Quality Baby Chicks 
We ship anywhere, prepay the parcel post charges, and 
guarantee 95% safe arrival. 
Our eggs are from free range flocks that have been care¬ 
fully culled, our chicks are all hatched in Sidney, Ohio 
Canfield Hatchery, Smith’s forced draft machine, which 
brings out big fluffy chicks. 
Pekins for Meat, Runners for Eggs 
As far as the breed is concerned it does 
not matter so long as they are good 
layers of pure white eggs, which are 
quoted in the egg markets at all times 
above the price of hen eggs, and find a 
ready market. For table use we think 
they are far superior to hen eggs both in 
flavor and size. 
The heavier ducks of the Pekin and 
Rouen variety are more suitable for quick 
growth but their eggs have more or less of 
a strong flavor—not so the Indian Runner. 
The Indian Runner is especially known for 
its ability to forage and practically feed 
itself eight months of the year. The 
farmer with a creek or small stream can, 
without much trouble or expense, keep 
this valuable breed of ducks to better 
advantage and with better results than 
with the average flock of hens, because the 
Indian Runner is an egg-producing duck 
of no small ability and can withstand 
the more careless methods even if they 
are not under cover at night. 
The same applies to those who do keep 
ducks in the same way as poorly cared for 
hens. If the ducks have no particular 
breeding, only that their owner knows 
that they are-ducks because they have 
web feet, their laying qualities may be 
good in the late spring for a short time 
only. There is no question but what they 
were easy to hatch and raise; more so than 
baby chicks. Gaps, lice and the like never 
bother young ducklings. But the old 
saying that “they soon eat their heads 
off” is true, because they are not bred
