Ducks and geese re-quire less attention,—if kept in numbers suited to the situa-tion on each farm. If short of food, ducks will follow streamsfor long distances and make trouble that way, but with pro-vision to keep them within bounds a few dozen could be grownwith very little care and cost on most general farms- A greatmany farms have swampy pastures where geese would thrive.
