line in poultry keeping and is be coming quitepopular with many poultry- men and farmers this is especially true with those engaged in poultry farming near large towns and cities profits received for moneyivested are very attractive and the turnover is rapid considerable experimental work with different varieties of ducks and jhe use of different feeds fed in different ways has been carried on at the central ex- pertqntsl pan la o and a brief summary of results obtained would in dicate that duckllngs of the pekin breed make thecbast gains with the least amount of feed when properly handled ducklings of this breed make one pound gain in weight oir 35 to 4 pounds of fssaeanaxmrea theyanheaevetoped to market age in about ten weekstbne when fed on a mixture of equal parts cornmeal shorts and bran with ten per cent beef meal added it is a good plan to add about one per cent ground char coal to the mash mix thoroughly in its dry state before using frequent feeding promotes rapid growth feed six times daily from the start until the ducklings are three weeks old and five times dally until they are ready for market duck mashes should be moistened with water before feeding it is a good plan to moisten the mixture about two to three hours before feeding so that the- mash may become swollen and more easily digested add sufficient water to make the mash quite moist and let it stand for a few hours when ready to feed it should not be sloppy tut just wet enough that it will stick together sprinkle coarse sand over the mash be fore feeding the sand serves as grit and aids in the process of digestion feed only what the ducklings willeat up clean at eachteedlng finely chopped greenfood should be added to the mash after the ducklings are four to five days old fresh cut clover or

ducklings are about six weeks old the green food should be gradually eliminated anovat the com mencement of the seventh week the mash should be changed to 50 pounds com- meaft 35 pounds shorts and 15 pounds beef meal with a sprinkling of coarse sand by the end of the tenth week the ducklings should be in excellent flesh and have developed their first coat of feathers at this time there should be no delay in marketing them if kept longer they will change their feathers which will slow up development and re duce profit the profit made in the rais ing of green ducks is directly dependent on the

the farm fields some of these will pro duce grain while others are primarily for hay and pasture of these latter only rarely wdll crops be found other than good old red clover alslke alfalfa timothy or corn itmust seem curious to the average person thafbne can count on the fingers of two hands the number of important crops that are grown to any extent as feed for live stock while as a matter of fact there are actually thousands of dis tinctly different kinds of grasses and legumes growing wild surely some of fhese plants which grow naturally should be equally as good or better than those which now occupy the fields tjhdoubtfdly there are sflu valuable dtscoverfes to be made but before these can qualify as field crops they must pass a very rigorous test wdth respect to several important qualifications the truth is that exceedingly few wildplants can succeed as cultivated crops many have been called but few chosen this lsa case where the merit system works perfectly before a hay or pasture crop can ever become widely used it must be able to produce a satisfactory yield of hay or pasture and plenty of good seed it must have good feeding quality and be ahle to resist disease and compete with weeds it must also be winterhardy drought resistant in some areas and able to mature seed in our comparatively short growing season not only do crops dif fer in these respects but some varieties of the same crop are much more satis factory than others it is clear that accurate knowledge is required to enable farmers to decide what to grow and how it should be grown this need is being supplied by the dominion experimental farms throughout canada which are able to give this service by virtue of their ex cellent facilities and wide experience with farm requirements and varieties of field crops plant breeders are always on the lookout for valuable new plants an o la made a for example crested wheat grass in the prairie provinces and reed canary grass for certain
