Third annual catalogue of the Cyphers Incubator Co . of each pen a portion of the day,and keeps the bedding dry, a very importantfeature. The runs can be made of 2-foot wire mesh,and it will be found convenient in feeding, andfor shade in summer to have a 4-foot walkabout 12 feet from the front, extending theentire length of the building. Ducks should always be watered and fed out ofdoors. Cold does not hurt them, only makes them eat a little more, while confinement in awarm building gives weak-germed eggs. In moderate weather the top half of the doorshould be left open at night. Put seven ducksand one drake in each pen 6x6, and make theyards about 75 feet long. We shall never put inmore ducks in one pen again than one drake canserve. When there is more than one drake in apen, they interfere with each other, at timestreading the same duck, etc., and the best resultscannot be obtained. This plan will be adoptedby Hallock, and several other large breeders thecoming season, and will be in universal use withinfive years. INCUBATOR
