Food For Breeding Ducks.

There art! several formulas of feed in use for breeding ducks, hut I have found the following very satisfactory during the egg producing season, says Miss F. E. Wheeler in Poultry Husbandry. The measures are given in bulk, not weight: Two and a half parts of cornmeal one and a half parts of wheat bran, one and a half parts of ground oats, one and a half parts of ground wheat or barley, one and a half parts of beef scrap. Add to the above in bulk one-fourth part fine cut stripped alfalfa, while of course oyster shells, sand and charcoal are kept before them, and water, with a light feed of hard grain at noon.
