Thoueeb. duck rearing with a view to profit requires peculiar conditions, yet there are but very few farmers but pos- sess to some degree the essential re- quirements. ',ticks, while having . . many acimirable and profitable quali- ties, arc not free of some that may be stated to Ise the very extremes of these, If not enjoying. the. best water priyil ages they become very filthy. Besides this, under tiny conditions, they have a wide and wel1e,r01.111ded eepute as ray. 6001.10 eaters. Being. of a more or less waeg nderitemperament this often ie - creases greatly the trouble' of attend- ance. They are, as a rule, good layers, and tyhere they have easy aecess to ponds or streams they will yield a hand- some profit in the fall. A writter in the Country Gentleman concludes from his experience that the Pekin and .A.yles bury ducks are the best adapted for 'purely economical purposes, as they lelye large bodies, white plumage and are extremely rapid growers. He has found them prolific egg producers, and the eggs hatch well. For the three days after they hatch he gives them extreme care as they do not begin to eat or drinit readily even when twenty four or thirty-six hours old, but once they begin to eat they need no urging. The growth of these breeds from th me e tithey leave, the shell until they are eight or nine weeks old, is, he asserts, simply- marvellous; and he. ha,s found that to sustain that growth preducing foods -milk, meae bramoats,and whole wheat steamed, chopped clover steam- ed, and some corn needer , or bett,erack- ed core.
