FAVOR INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS
Pew Breeds Better Suited to Farm
Raising--Imported From West In*
dies Flftssn Years Ago.
Much has been said through the dif
ferent farm and poultry Journals In
favor of the Indian Runner duck, but
I believe there are few who realise the
possibilities and advantages of rear*
lng ducks of this breed.
•As I have been raising this breed of
ducks for a few years, I can testify
that they deserve all the praise given
them.
They are not an entirely new vari
ety, having been imported some 15
years ago from the West Indies, thus
It receives the name of "Indian" with
the "Runner" added to denote its chief
peculiarity, Its rapid movement over
the ground.
They are great foragers and pick
up Innumerable bugs and Insects. This
alone should give them an important
place on eveiy farm.
Owing to their extreme hardiness, it
is quite an easy task to raise a
large flock of Indian Runners, with
vdty little trouble.
They are never bothered with lice,
there are no roosts to keep clean, and
no expensive houses are needed Just
a low-roofed shed to protect them from
the severe winds and snows In winter,
says a writer in the Farm Progress.
The houses should have a dry floor
covering of straw or some kind of lit
ter, as they must have a dry place on
which to sleep.
While they are not a land fowl, It Is
not at all necessary to have running
water for them to swim in, all that is
needed is plenty of clean water to
drink, placed In a vessel deep enough

for them to cover their heads, as the
nostrils are liable to-become clogged
with mud or feed.
The young ducklings grow and ma
ture so quickly it is indeed -very inters
esting and fascinating to raise them.
We have had young ducklings that
weighed three and one-fourth pounds
when 60 days old when matured they
will weigh from four and one-half to
five pounds.
Being a quick maturing fowl makes
their meat exceedingly tender, and
Juicy, of fine, flavor, equal or su
perlor to spring chicken.
Their eggs are large, about one-third
larger than the average hen egg, and
perfectly white. And, contrary to the
general Idea of duck eggs, they are of
mild, delicate flavor, making them
very desirable for the table or cake
baking, puddings, etc. The eggs under
ordinary conditions are very fertile and
will hatch exceedingly well In lncub*
tors.

nafwwKi
Renew^the nests often with clean
material.
Field peas make most excellent feed
for laying hens.
Feeding clover fe a preventive of
soft shelled eggs.
It takes knowledge, experience and
skill to produce a good egg.
The more comfortable and happy
the hen, the more eggs she will lay.
A hen should have all the green
feed she will eat every day of her
life.
A turkey will consume more grit
than any of the poultry kept on the
farm.
New blood Is a necessity, it one In
tends to build up the egg-laying and
market qualities of his floclj.
After mateC give yourbirds the
beBt sanitary conditions possible and
keep the houses free from lice and
mites.
Great care should be exercised that
breeding stock, young chleks, or
eggs for hatching, be secured from
flocks which are free from white
diarrhea infection.
Air-slaked lime slftqd or scattered
'over the dropping boards win assist
the cleaning process materially, and
also take up much of the dampness
from the droppings.
Save the small potatoes and other
vegetables that would otherwise go
to waste and feed them to the fowls.
They will help In keeping up the egg
yield In cold weather.
