TO KEEP APPLE TREES FROM SPLITTING Joseph E. Wing In, Breeders' Gazette. Many farmers' wives are prejudiced against ducks and with some reason. Ducks are usually noisy, waddling, vo racious birds and somewhat unclean In their habits. We grow Muscovies, and they also have their faults, yet It seems to me they are worth considering by Bucn i arm ioik as nave water ror them. 1 think they need water, and would probably go to seek It If It was not near Dy. The Muscovy ia a very large duck, black and white, a beautiful fowl in plumage. It grows to be almost as heavy as a turkey and we think has a similar quality of flesh. Muscovies never quack, they are almost silent. They are of a half-wild disposition, yet easily managed when It is desired to handle them. At certain times of year incy ny almost JiKe wlld ducks, though we have never known them to leave home. We like them because they are so little trouble. Having a little lake near tne house, they stay down there nearly the whole year through and wa oniy irouDie ourselves with them when they bring off broods of little ducks. Then we must shut ud the mothers for a lew weeks and reed the young ducks or eise tne turtles win devour them. to As soon aa we let them go, when about a quarter grown, iney are on ana there after care for themselves. In winter they glean corn In the feedlota and get very iau I do not know how often thev lav. but they usually bring off two or three broods of ducklings of about 12 In a I brood, sometimes more.

Since t turkey diseases have so multiplied It occurs to me that for home consumption at least the Muscovy duck might prove a pretty fair ubati- tute and no rowl seems easier grown. We have. In fact, never seen the least delicacy or disease among them. The young ducklings are little beauties, and as quick and lively as crickets. They are very energetic hunters for Insects of almost all sorts. We feed them cracked corn principally and do not re- I memoer mat aver one died.

This can be done by purchasing from breed ers oi pure Drea stock, puyuig either tne xowia or tne eggs. Laying hens should be fed sparingly ounng tne aay so mat tney win be kept busy scratching for their food. Give them a generous feed for snipper which should be given early enough so that they can get what they want to eat oerore going to roost. (Scatter grain sufficiently so that they can get all they want. Clover Is a good egg pro- oucer ana it snouia always De sown in the poultry range. In winter provide fowls with green feed once a day. All kinds of vegetables are good. Meata and all kinds of table scraps are also renned. Keep plenty or clean, fresh arinking water for them at all times. They require a good supply of gravel and other kinds of grit where they can f ei at it, as tnig is tneir means or mas lcation. which insures good digestion and perfect assimilation of the foed. Al ways do regular in reeding, keep poultry houses clean, well ventilated and made aa light and pleasant as possible. Do not forget to keep poultry and roosts free from vermin. Hatch chickens in May and June, so that they will begin laying early in the winter when eggs command the highest price. Always breed from perfect fowls, culling out uie ueiective ana old ones.
