Sketch of Mrs. Searcy
Raising Ducks.
Thirteen eggs comprise a set- ]
ting, and these are easily, cover-\
ed by a large hen. Hens are set
either in.fish pads, small ham-;
pers, or, in what we have found
most servicable, the round boxes
in which cheese are packed. In
the bottom of these is placed
some littie or wood ashes, and
then a nest of hay or some soft
straw: there the hens must be
kept as quiet as possible. Spec-
ial care must be taken to guard |
against the intrusion of rats or
other vermin by which the hen
mother may be disturbed and,
as is often the. case, the whole
setting- be destroyed thereby,
The period of incubation is
twenty-eight .days, and during
the last-week of that time care
must be taken to sprinkle the
eggs daily with lukewarm water, 1
. whi(Ji softens the shells, so that
when the time comes for the
duckling to make its appearance
it has not much difficulty' in
breaking through its covering.
When the young are hatched
they should be left with the hen
until well nestled, well dried, and1
strong enough to stand. Many
scores of ducklings are lost by
inexperienced persons through
