Our troughs are made of one inch boards, flat on the bottom with sides from three to four inches high and as long as you wish. As an ordinary paddle such as is used in dipping out the mash, is too small to clean up after the ducks have eaten, quickly, we have made a de- vice which has given us perfect satisfac- tion and which is made as follows: take two pieces of boards, one about six. the other about eight inches wide, and about half an inch thick, and saw them off square and just long enough to fit inside of the troughs crosswise, nailing the edges together to form a half square. Then bevel off the exposed edge of the widest one and with some pieces of hoop iron brace them on the inside. By tak- ing hold of the narrow board you can scrape the remnants of food up quickly and cleanly by simply running the board along the trough. Don't waste your water supply. The majority of people raising poultry in Maine do not have the advantages in regard to water that the large breeders do, and to those that do not, I repeat, don't waste water. Ducks do not need water to swim in and although it is nice to let them in water after they are feath- ered out do not try to furnish them with a swimming pool unless you have a brook or pond handy. A good way to water them is to have barrels of water placed about the yards and with faucets overhanging the troughs, one can regu- late the flow of water so that the dishes can be kept filled, or only part
