Dnu: 1; meat at 20 cents a pound is not considered an extravagance, and it compares favorably with beef This class of poultry mi. :ht easily be raised A plant should not be started with less than an acre. This is sufficient to hande 500 ducks. and if more are desired a little more land should be used for range and pasture. Swim- ming ponds are not essential and. in fact. may be considered a detriment, but it is best to have troughs and keep them supplied with fresh Water for drinking and splashing.

A third step is. the selection of stock that is .known to be large and vigorous. Nothing is to be left to chance. but every detail must be care- fully managed. and then there is a cer- tainty of success. for the towls are hardy and their food requirements sim- ple and cheap.

Those who‘do not have the best facili- ties for raising poultry will have to reckon the cost of production at some thing like 7 cents a pound. but even this outside figure leaves a large mar- gin or profit The retail price averages 25 cents :1 pound for young roasting ducks and 20 cents for matured stock. The general aim is to meet the steady demand for poultry in the large cities, and to do this ducks are supplied at all ages from six weeks to six monthsand at weights varying from two to eight pounds. It is one of the best features of this industry that prices have con- stantly advanced and that the market never has been oversupplied.
