ico j}y the late Mr. Bergb, but it serins to
en be the common way all over this part
?es of the country, and is said to contribute
ranch to the excelleuco and
ie(l| i pleasing appearance of the duck after
,cr death?the flesh is more firm and the
' color better than when their necks arc
111 wrung iu tlio old-fashioned manner.
During the sensou, which lusts from
>r'' six to eight months, about 800 duck:
! a week are sent from Mr. Pjpo's plac<
to New York, packed in barirels. The^
weigh from four to six
e^^^wS^wthe ducks arlf^cept here con
or the sake of the eggs they lay. Mr. | '
"Jte buys his eggs from the neighbor- j Y'n>
ng farmers, Ending'that it does not
iliy to keep breeders for this purposo. j R"
The eggs aro brought here in quanti- ' 1
ios and put into incubators for the ( 1
irst part of the time required to hatch t ,'?n
,hom out. A peculiarity of this part I
if tho business is that when the egg 1
. caches a point within a week of ma- ' mj,
mritv. it is nut under a lieu; the hen j <
teems to give it bettor care during to
those last and critical days than any
machine can do, and finally briugsout to
the young ducks triumphantly. Thus
during the months of breeding these me
hens are constantly employed in finishing
up batches of duck eggs. At 8^J
last as a hen brings out her young
brood of ducklings they are taken 11!
from her and more egg* are put into ,
the nest. This goes on for months ?
until the poor hen is exbA,isted aud is
then givcu tiie rest"of the season to
recuperate in. ,w
When the tluck reaches the age of
four months it is ready for market. jj
Diseases of any importance are said to bt
be almost unknown, partly, perhaps,
because the ducks are kept separately rc
in small groups in the different runs, m
so that any trouble that may make its m
appearance is promptly stamped out ?
before it extends further. I happened ^
to get to Mr. l'ye's farm just beforo
feeding time, about three o'clock in
the afternoon. Two men were preparing
the supper, which was mixed
in an immense trough and cons'stdd u
of meal and chopped creek -ffiass, S
which latter is brought in by the h
boatload of many tons When the ti
yards are full the daily meal requires h
about a ton and a half of food. As a v
great delicacy the ducks nre given ^
"scrap."a hog product said te be un- 9
excelled for its fattening properties."
Oieaiiimess is )tI1,, nvtt<. ...,.*.11^0 h
the business in order to ward off difj' 1
ease, and the runs are |beautiful!,v tl
clean. This, however, is/partly di,e n
to the ducks themselves,! for whf r? v
there are so many of then, they < n
up every scrap of food, ^very hit, . I 1'
refuse, that is to be fouid in t .V ''
vartls. When the menannear J""1 ?
