The highlit prices are paid for
ducks marketed tarly in the spring,
the price decreasing as the season ad-
vances and the supply becomes mor£
abundant. The demand for "green"
ducks, which Is tha term used to de-
scribe those grown rapidly and mar-
keted when only eight to twelve weeks
old, when they weigh about four and
one-half to six pounds, has been built
up In large cities in the East and on
tho Pacific coast There is very lit-
tle demand for such ducks in small
cities and towns. Many farmers mar-
ket their ducks in the fall as spring
ducks at a tower price per bird than
is received for green ducks in the
spring.
Ducks may be dressed by dry pick-
ing, By scalding, or by steaming. Their
condition is bear Judged by the amount
of flesh on their backs. The methods
used in dry picking poultry are also
used with ducks, although the latter
are harder to pick. The ducks are gen-
erally killed by sticking in the mouth
or through the throat with a knife
which has a narrow blade about four
inches long, and then stunned by a
blow on the back of the head with a
Bhort club; or the knife may be insert-
ed Just back of the eye. To facilitate
handling in scalding and picking, a
hook is run Into the duck's mouth,
coming out through the nostril. The

long tail feathers are left on the ducks,
the wings are picked to the first Joint
and the neck half way to the head.
Long pinfeathers are removed with a
dull knife, and the down sometimes is
rubbed off with the moistened hand,
burned with alcohol or shaved with a
very sharp knife. Large duck farms
usually have pickers who devote their
time entirely to the dressing of ducks
during the killing season and are very
proficient in this work.
Removing Feathers by Steaming.
Ducks may be steamed and picked,
thus saving the feathers without arti-
ficial drying, and as duck feathers ano
of considerable value, their sale is
quite an important item. The wing
and tail feathers are pulled and thrown
to one side before steaming the ducks.
Si* or eight ducks, which have been
stuck and hung up to bleed, are placed
on hooks in the top of a steam box or
barrel which can be made airtight, and
steamed until the soft feathers on the
breast come off easily. The length of
time to leave them in the box depends
on the temperature of the steam, vary-
ing from one-half to two minutes
Two seta of piokers usually pluck the
ducks; one set, called the roughers,
removing the batik of the feathers*
while the other, called the pinners, re-
moves the down and soine of the
smaller "feathers. A good method for
removing the down is to sprinkle
powdered resin over the duck's body
and dip the bird into hot water, which
melts the resin so that the down and
resin can be rubbed off easily with
the hand, leaving the body clean.
When carefully steamed the birds
rarely show any signs of scalded flesh.
In some cases the ducks are hung in
the steam box with the heads outside,
thus preventing the head from being
steamed; but when the birds are
steamed as described above the heads
are not discolored.
After the ducks are picked they are
ustfally washed and put in ice water
for an hour or two to cool and plump.
Each layer of ducks is packed flat in
ice, usually with the keels or breasts
down, in barrels, or in boxes holding
one dozen each.
It costs from five to Bix cents apiece
to pick ducks, but the body feathers
and down usually are saved, as white
feathers bring from 40 to 50 cents a
pound when cured. Each duck yields
about two ounces of marketable feath-
ers. Scalded feathers may also be
dried and sold
The feed cost of growing Pekin
ducks to ten weeks of age, when they
weigh from Ave u> six pounds. Is esti-
mated at from five to six cents s

from April to November and bring
from 12 to 30 eents a pound when sold
to commission men at wholesale.
Disbudding and Summer Pruning.
Disbudding aiftl pinching back of tha
young shoots of fruit trees are the only
hope of those who have neglected to
prune properly during the fall and win-
ter and yet wish to control somewhat
tho shape and fruiting habits of tha
trees for the coming season. On the
other hand, many expert growers who
have properly attended to pruning,
study their trees carefully In the sum-
mer and by disbudding and pinching
are able still further to control their
growth. Some experts starting with
very young trees rely almost wholly
on disbudding and pinching, because
they say that it is more logical to di-
rect the strength of the tree than to
allow it to waste its energies in form-
ing wood which only has to be cut off
by a pruning knife. These processes,
however, call for even greater care
than ordinary pruning because, of
course, it is easier to injure a growing
tree than to deal with a dormant one.
In the case of older trees, however,
disbudding and pinching, of course, are
not substitutes for pruning and getting
rid of old wood. Once a tree has es-
tablished old wood, disbudding simply
controls the development of new
shoots and the saw or pruning hook
alone will dispose of interfering
branches or old growth.
Disbudding should begin when the
young buds are large enough to be
pinched out with the thumb and finger.
The process should be repeated rather
than an attempt made to take off many
buds at a time. The buds which are
left should remain where they will
grow up and close up the open tree
spaces and bring about a more com-
pact form. Disbudding is often prac-
ticed on fruit trees grown under glass,
where the branches must necessarily
be kept within a very small area and
where conservation of the vigor of the
tree is of great importance. Disbud
ding is often practiced with advantage
on apples, peaches, pears and other
fruit trees and vines.
Summer pruning is similar in meth-
od and results in the control of growth
without the removal of foliage. It con
slsts in pinching off the extreme termi-
nal buds of the growing shoots, result-
ing in checking and redirecting the
growth without injury to the vitality
of the plant. The injuries sustained
by a rude and careless destruction of
foliage are well exemplified in the
management of grapes where the sum-
mer pruning is delayed until it is con-
sidered necessary to cut from 12 to 20
Inches from the tip of each shoot, so
checking the plants that further
growth will be slow and the fruit will
fail to mature. Full and perfect matur-
ity of fruit depends upon a full growth
of healthy, mature foliage.

and disbudding may be secured by

Publications of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, asking for

STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
REDUCE POULTRY FEED COST
Fowls Thrive on Clover, Alfalfa, Beets,
Turnips and Other Vegetables
—All Easy Crops.
The cost of feed can be consider-
ably cut down by raising corn, and
also by raising roots and general
green crops. It will pay to have a
patch of clover, or alfalfa; to have
a bed of beets, one of turnips, one of
cabbage, one of potatoes, and one of
onions. Poultry relish and thrive on
all of these. They are crops Uiat can
be attended to during leisure times,
and will make a good showing in the
cost of breeding.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother'
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 60 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, it becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis-
ease.—Adv.

Sudden Death
Csused by Disease of the Kidneys
The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease of brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"—the latest
discovery of Dr. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 37 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
ery purifies the blood and entirely
eradicates the poisons that breed and
feed disease. Pure blood is essential
to good health. The weak, run-down,
debilitated condition which so many
people experience is commonly the ef-
fect of impure blood. "Medical Discov*

purities, but increases the activity of
the blood-making glands, and enriches
the body with pure, rich blood.
