Why not avoid the difficulty by RII the manure for root or corn crops and top dress your wheat crop with 200 to 300 lbs. per acre of fertilizer carrying from 2 to 3 per cent. ammonia, and 10 to 12 per cent. phosphotic acid.

G Roufiress My half-grown ducks become weak in legs, the'r necks crcok, and then | they die in" a few days. 'They are out ton range. I feed cracked corn. They grew fine until recently. Leg weakness in ducks is often caused by too much concentrated food and not enough exercise. Instead of so much cracked corn try a mash con- taining about fifteen per cent. of corn meal, ten per cent. of beef scrap and the remainder bran, with possibly a little low-grade flour if it can be ob- tained. Five per cent, of coarse sand can also be added to the mash with good results. The ducks also need plenty of green feed and will eat more clover or green rye if it is mixed with the mash. Another easily made mash some- times used consists of six parts of wheat middlings, six parts of corn meal and one part beef scrap. This can be moistened and made into a crumbly mass and the ducks given all they will clean up in a few Min- utes." Do not overfeed so any of the mash will be left after their appetites seem about satisfied. Ducks need plenty of water in dishes deep enough so that the nostrils can be covered when they drink. They also need shade on their range on hot summer days as growing ducklings do not thrive when exposed too much to the "hot sun. iE a a Agriculture is the venerable mother of all the arts.
