a balance of over $300, which with

It Is only a few years since the Run-
ner duck first made its appearance in
America. They came originally from
the West Indies, where they have been
raised for years, chiefly as egg produc-
ers. They derive their name from
their racy, upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white,
with yellow shanks and light green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black.
The body Is long and nnrrow and Is
carried in an almost upright position.
Neck is long and thin, with finely
formed head.
The Runner Is, we think, not only
the most beautiful but also the most
profitable of all the duck fumily. They
have the Pekln beaten a mile, and are
steadily gaining In favor.
The Runner is rather small,- fully
matured ducks weighing from four to
five pounds; drakes from five to six
pounds, live weight. But they grow
very rapidly while young and are fcrisy
To begin with, they are verv pro-
¥*c layers, ^iniu^g when they are
about six months"old. Their eggs are
pure white and _a little larger than a

East Are Superior.
They are superior In quality to any
dnck's eggs that w«r hdve ever eaten,
and as a rule they bring a better price
in the markets.
The ducklings reach a marketable
size about twelve weeks old. When
forced: they will weigh four to five
ptroiids at two months.

some other flock.
It Is not a good plan to keep closely
related birds. One drake for every
seven or eight ducks Is about right.
Drakes may be kept for seven years,
but ducks will not lay so well when
of that age. Few duck raisers cure
to keep old drakes unless they happen
to be high-priced birds.
In many sections Runner ducks are
so scurce that good specimens bring
almost any price asked.
A house 15 by 20 feet, with a yard at-
tached, will be large enough for thirty-
five or forty ducks to stay In at night,
and during the cold days in winter.
Inexpensive House.
If there is no suitable house on the
place, a duckhouse can be built at
small cost. Rough lumber may be
used for the floor and siding. The
raftews, plates and posts may be made

former, they are great foragers.
In summer the Runner, when given
free range, will find the greater part
of his living In the fields. But of
course, when being fattened for mar-
ket, they need some grain. It would
be well to say right here that for best
results the grain should be either
ground or cooked.
Duck Raisera Fall.
A great many would-be duck raisers
fall because they Insist upon feeding
the ducks, both old and young, whole
grain.

the young ones most certainly cannot.

Locations for Chsrry Growing
In selecting a location for cherry
growing—that Is, the getleral reglon or
community in which the enterprise Is to
be developed—fruit growers should
realize that as the fruit Is very perish-
able, quick transportation to market Is
essential, and nlso refrigerator service
If the fruit Is to be shipped long dis-
tances; and, further, a relatively large
crew Is required to handle the fruit
properly. Large orchards therefore
should not be located where it Is
practically or economically impossible
to assemble and care for the requisite
labor to handle the fruit properly.
Sl ea for Orchprri*
•ine "site" Is the exact piece oi land
occupied by the trees. The same gen-
eral fuctors which require considera-
tion In selecting a site for an apple or
peach orchard need to be taken Into
nccount in choosing sites for cherries.
The most important of these factors
are soil and local climatic conditions.
Cherry trees thrive on a wide range
of soil types, provided the soils are
well drained. There Is, perhaps, no
fruit tree more sensitive to the ill-
effects of a poorly drained soli thnn
the cherry. In many Important cherry-
growing regions the prevailing types of
soil are rather light—sandy, sand"
loams, and other light ioamfr-com-

fclayey subsoil. Such soils charfact>*-

are propagated by Kaddltig on seedling-

commonly sold for planting either as
one or two year old trees.
Though the average cherry grower
rarely has occasion to propagate cher-
ry trees himself, the kind of stock on
which his trees are propagated is a
matter of Importance to him.
Two kinds of stocks, the mahaleb

trees, Jf only a definite amount can

secure small number of good, strong,
well-roqted, well-formed trees than to
buy a larger ntnabsr' sf thV Mpense of
quality. An altogether desirable tree
is difficult to describe, especially m
different planters have different ideals.
The desirability of a tree IS not meas-
ured by size alone. While a small, In-
ferior tree should be avoided because
It Is not likely to grow well even when
planted under favorable conditions, a'
vfry large, overgrown tree Is scarcely
better. Unless handled with extreme
care, the largest grades do not endure

well as thrifty medium-sized trees.
In the past, two-year-old trees have
been planted, as a rule, by cherry
growers, but there Is evidently a grow-
ing preference for trees that have
made only one season's growth In the
nursery.

Though various compromises on this
Ideal may be possible without defeat-
ing the ends in view, sny temporary
gain through a course that falls short

than offset by the results that follow.
