A Weekly Bulletin of Information restern Newspaper Union News Servite The Bureau during the past week as had .the busiest -experience during a existence in the matter of filling ants without the necessity of adver. sing -the wants and a large volume f business has been done.

PROFITABLE DUCK .II SUPERIOR DUCKHOL Ducks can be raised with success and at a profit on general farms, says Alfred R. Lee, a poultry specialist of the department of agriculture, but they do not appear to be as well adapted as a source of income to av erage farm conditions as fowls, al though they serve to add variety, both of meat and of eggs, for the farmer's table. If the demand for ducks, and especially for duck eggs, increases, breeds of ducks which are good layers should be profitable on farms, particu larly where there is good pasture land containing a stream or any running water. Farmers rarely give the neces sary care to their ducklings, either in feeding or in marketing, to be able to cater to the trade in fancy green ducks. Duck farms are usually. located on light, sandy soil, generally on sloping land, where the droppings will leach 1 I Pekin Duck. freely into the soil, so that the land keeps sweet and clean. The farm should have good shipping facilities to aid both in shipping products and in buying -supplies. The arrangement of the buildings should be planned to economize labor and allow for future DETERMINING SEX OF CHICKS Certain Marks by Which Pullets May Be Distinguished From Cocker els After Hatching. (By C. S. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo.) With the rapidly growing day-old chick industry the -question of sex determination naturally arises. Many buyers wvould like to ordler all pullets, all cockerels or a given number of each, and would be glad to pay an ad ditional price for this assurance. The sex of Barred Plymouth Rock chicks can be told with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Tihe pullet has a dark, willow-colored beak, some times streaked with black. It is of fhIer bone than tihe cockerel and the legs are (lark and smoky color-ed. The cockerel has bright yellow legs and beak and usually a coarse head and prouminent eye. Tihe cockerel is a gray or slate color while tile pullet is dark er. The white tip of tile wings and spot on top of the hlead are most notice able on the pullet, due to thle con trast with tile deeper black. This nleans can only be used to denote the sex tile first couple of (lays. After this time thley all take onl the one characteristic blue color-, the beak and legs of tile pullet fade out to yel low. Similar methods can be employed with all parti-colored breeds. With solid colored birds tile best means of determlining sex is the prominent cockerel. NATURE'S WAY FOR CHICKENS Follow That Rule as Far as Possible in Feeding and Caring for Young Anhnfal. We should follow nature-or rathler let nature have her own way.as nearly as possible-in feedinlg and caring for any young animal. Who ever heard of a chicken having bowel, or any other trouble, when thle old hen found most of its food, and cared for it as only a hen can? When we assume to take nature's place in feeding and caring for animals, we are on danger ous ground.

Lice and cholera germs flourish in hot weather, and both by a little work may be prevented. Running for remedies and cleaning up when a flock is down with conta giouse disease is certainly a ridieulous ad fritiess proceeding and exhibi tln of hIow not to do it.

The incu bator cellar should be convenient to the brooder house, the brooder houso to the growing house and pens, and these buildings to the killing house. The pens in the houses, the outside yards, and the arrangement 6f the buildings should be planned so that the ducks may be easily located. Con venient watering arrangements are es sential where large numbers of ducks are kept, as they require a large amount of drinking water. While ducke may be kept successfelly under very intensive conditions, it is advis able to allow considerable yard space. Double yards, which may be rotated and planted to quick-grow'ing crops, such as oats, wheat, and rye, are good for intensive duck farms. It is advisable to have a pond 'or stream for the breeding ducks, as they usually give better fertility under these conditions, although on some successful duck farms the ducks are always kept on dry land. The young ducks on some farms which have a pond are not allowed to go into the water except to bathe and clean their feathers just before marketing. Other growers, however, allow the green ducks free access to ponds or streams until they are marketed. There are 11 -standard breeds of ducks which may- be divided into three classes: (1) the meat class, including the Pekin, Aylesbury, Muscovy, Rouen, Cayuga, Buff and Swedish; (2) the egg -class, which includes the Indian Runner, and (3) the ornamentalclass, composed of the Call, the Crested White, and the Black East India.'The common "puddle" duck is kept on many farms in the middle West and South, and is generally of smpll size, a poor layer and an undestra le type of market duck. Excepting the lus covy, all of our economic breeds of ducks are said to have originated from the Mallard, or common wild ducks. PROFIT IN CAPON INDUSTRY Prevailing Scarcity of Meat Creating Demand for Fowls-Necessary Operation Is Simple. The capon industry which now can be carriedl on profitably is sure to de velop rapidly, in the opinion of N. L. Harris, superintendent of the poultry plant at the Kansas State Agricultu ral college. Where capons are raised in large numbers, says Harris, it now is possi ble to ship them direct to large cities where there is a readly sale at good prices. Owing to the prevailing scar city of meat-producing animals it is probable that'the capon .will find a permanent place on many of the farms of the middle WVest and will be a source of constant profit. Numerous buyers in small tow~ns have made quotations in the last sea son ranging from 14 to 18 cents a pound live w~eight, depending upon the size of the capon. If caponsl1 are raisedl on the farm this allows a good nmargin for profit. The olperation nec essary to produce capons is sImple and can be performed b~y anyone aifter a little practice. The capon (does not as a rule grow nmech more rapidly than the cockerel but puts on more pounds of meat for the amount of food con sumed.- - SELECTION OF GOOD LAYERS Pullet Should Have Fine Head, Alert Eyes and Comb and Face and Wattles of Fine Texture. Judlging poultry is said to be finer art than the selection of other farm animals, but the man or woman who picks, pullets with fine heads alert eyes and combs, faces andl wattles of fine texture has taken the first stop towa rd i ncreasedl egg producti on. Good pullets should standl square on their feet, with legs wide apart, wvith the front endl of the body slightly high er than the posterior (end, and with a long back and tail carriedl rather high. The body should b~e wedge shaped, yielding ample room for the reproduc tive and digestive organs.
