A Profitable Business, but It
quirca Close Attention.
The raising of Pekin ducks for mar- ;
ket is successfully and profitably con- I
ducted on many large farms in the i
eastern part of this country. There I
are many plants marketing every sea
son from 10,000 to 40,000 ducklings.
They are scattered from Norfolk, Ya.,
to Bangor, Me., and all are each year
called upon to face an increasing de
mand. The largest consumers are found
among the best hotels, the high priced
'restaurants, railroad dining cars, clubs
and summer resort hotels. The wealthy
classes in the large cities, the coast
wise and transatlantic steamers, are
all steady purchasers from the begin
ning to the end of the season, the gen
eral public indulging only at intervals,
as it does in the case of any luxury,
which this may be properly culled, ow
ing to the comparatively high prices
at which they are sold. The masses
cannot afford to pay the retailer 20
cents per pound for ducklings.
The business of raising Pekin duck
lings on a large scale is one of consid
erable detail. Many little things unite
in bringing about a successful result,
and any of these trifles neglected or
omitted is as sure to bring disastrous
results as a leak in a ship.
Always remember these facts: That
we are trying to conduct a natural proc
ess artificially; not only this, but we
are reversing the natural order of
things—demanding summer results in
midwinter, when everything that na
ture provides to encourage, stimulate
and sustain is locked under ice and
snow. Now, if we expect to be suc
cessful in enforcing our demands we
must duplicate the conditions that are
absolutely essential. The two essen
tials are temperature and food. I will
add another—brains in the man who is
.undertaking to supply the other two.
It requires just as high an order of tal
ent and brains to conduct a duck farm
successfully as it docs for any mercan
tile pursuit, and most of the failures
in the business can be attributed to a
lack of this essential in the man. In
the first place, he must be in love with
liis business, and if be is be will be
come so well acquainted with his birds
that be can interpret their wants at a
glance. lie wili not only see quickly
what is necessary, but will take held
and do it at once. The successful duck
man of this country, no matter bow
large liis scale of operation, is be who
leads. Whether lie has one or a dozen
men working for him, when anything
is to be done be leads and orders bis
men to follow. Whatever help be has
Is help in the full sense of the word.
They help him to do what he could not
accomplish alone. As soon as he be
comes the help and his men take ihe
lead it is an easy matter to predict the
final outcome.—Ducks and Geese.
LIFTING A HOG.
How to Slake a Windlass That Will
Greatly Lighten the Work.
When butchering day comes, to most
farmers it means plenty of hard work
and much lifting. An American Agri
culturist correspondent presents an il
lustration of an apparatus which will
lighten this work greatly. Make it so
that it will be strong enough, he ad
vises, and that is all that is necessary.
The bearing of the arm of the derrick
THE WINDLASS IN DETAIL.
at a is arranged to allow the arm not
only to move up and down, but to re
volve round the center post in a circle.
The windlass can be attached to the
post with a stationary bearing or with
oije like that used for the arm so that
it also can revolve round the post. The
diameter of post can be four inches
or six inches or whatever is thought
strong enough for the work it is in
tended for. The bearings of the arm
and windlass are one and a half inches
or two inches less In diameter. Any
good blacksmith can make them, as
well as tlie other iron fittings needed.
The entire cost of the derrick is very
small when compared to the work it
does. A scalding vat can be set where
it will be convenient.
THE PECAN TREE:
PEOTECTION FOR LATE VEGETABLES,
cember, but toward the latter part, or
even the middle, of November it is
liable to freeze up solid, and if it does
we will get no more spinach, lettuce

row of parsley, lettuce and one of kale

picking or a mess from open ground

The Iveiffer Pear.
It Is true tbat the Keiffor has a great
many enemies, but it has a great many
warm friends. It is grown in the -state
of New Jersey to a greater extent than
any other fruit excepting the Ben
Davis apple. It improves in quality
and is far superior to the pear that
was first planted. I think its quality
is equal to a great many other pears
that we have in the market today.
They used to can it when it was not in
condition to do so, and for that reason
It was hardly worth putting on the
market. I would rather have my little
Keiffer pear orchard of 1,600 trees to
make money out of than the rest of my
farm of 224 acres. 1 could show you
the figures from the time my orchard
lias fruited tip to the present time. My
Keiffer orchard in 1900 yielded me
over ?100 per acre clear of tlie expense
of marketing. I would favor buying
cheap sandy land in New Jersey and
setting it to Keiffer pears. I planted
a little orchard two years ago. I would
select land tbat was a little sandy and
try to overcome the rusty coat on the
pears. What sells the Keiffer pear is
the color or the beauty of the pear.

Danish Export of Ejgs.
In 1S95 we scarcely knew Denmark
as an egg producer, but in tbat year
was founded tlie first Danish co-opera
tive society for the export of eggs. The
same system which had succeeded with
butter was now to be applied to eggs.
Tlie country was divided up into dis
tricts. Each district liad in some rail
way station a collecting depot, and all
members of the society were bound to
deliver three times a week at the depot.
The depot agent refused or liad a right
to refuse all eggs more than four days
old, and every producer of each station
had a distinct number branded on the i
egg. Thus in tlie event of an egg ,
proving bad the depot which shipped it | considered
would be proceeded against, and by
means of the distinctive number the
depot agent wosld be able to detect
the producer, cn whom the loss would
finally fall.
By thus guaranteeing absolute fresh
ness and making good any occasional
loss the Danes established a high
standard and so created a continuous
demand. And what is the result? In
1S95, the first year of the experiment,
there were established six local egg
societies, with an aggregate of 2,000
members; in 1900 there were actually
no fewer than 837 separate co-opera
tive societies, with a total membership
of 130.000 producers! Is it surprising
that Denmark should send to England
alone 300,000,000 of eggs annually?—

How to Propagate—When to Trans
plant—Root Pruning.
It is stated that the sandy pine lands
of Florida will produce pecans in per
fection; also that they will thrive on
dry lands which are good for corn ox
cotton.
Feeans may be propagated from seed.
They are liable to considerable varia
tion, however, and budding and graft
ing are therefore resorted to in propa
gating desirable sorts. When trees are
grown from seed, the seedbed should
be prepared as for vegetables and the
nuts planted on tiieir sides, 3 inches
apart, in rows 2’4 feet apart and cov
ered 3 inches deep. They should be
planted soon after they are ripe and
cultivation and fertilization given as
with other trees. Planting nuts in the
orchard where tlie trees are to stand is
objectionable, since the
ground is usually not as well prepared,
and man} - vacancies occur from the
nuts being destroyed by rodents and
ants.
The pecan tree has a large taproot
When transplanted, this should be cm
off fifteen or eighteen inches from the
crown, or back to solid wood, and al;
injured roots removed. Boot pruning
trees in the nursery row is recoin
mended. The practice, it 13 thought,
would favor the development of-more
lateral roots and thus contribute to suc
cess in planting and early bearing.
Forty feet apart is the distance foi
planting in Florida. Planting between
the latter part of November and March
Is recommended.
HARDY GARDEN STUFF.
Protection That Lengthens the Sea
son oi Vegetables.
Frosty uights usually come with Oc
tober. Tender garden stuff must be'
taken care of In good season if we
wish to save it, but we have quite
a list of thktgs that will not only en
dure a frost unharmed, but even make
the best growth after the tender things
outdoors are all killed. Winter rad
ishes, turnips, lettuce and cresses,
spinach hardy onions, kale and similar
things all have a good chance yet to
make considerable growth.
But there is a limit even to this.
When the real cold weather sets in
with November, severe cold spells are
liable to occur, and even such hardy
crops as spinach and kale are put in
danger. Here we usually leave them

The Arc<ic Grass of the South,
Arctic grass having been confused by
some persons with rescue grass, Mark
W. Johnson explains in Southern Cul
tivator that arctic grass is a local name
for one of the numerous chess family
and that it is, no doubt, the best of tills
group of grasses and may be seen
growing more or less on almost every
farm In the south. It makes a luxu
riant upright growth, producing an
abundance of seeds about the size of
rye incased in a closely wrapped busk.
Hay saved from it is fed largely to
live stock, and some of our best and
most intelligent planters value it as a
profitable rough forage. It often grows
up with wheat or oats and is consider
ed objectionable when suc-h is the case,
as it is very difficult to separate It
from the grain.
