The Indian Runner duck is faststrld lng from obscurity into national promi nence. Scarcely one person out of a hundred knows today the full value of this bird, but leading poultrymen have awakened to its merit, and the people are soon to know Its wonderful possibilities.

For drinking purposes. tin vessel about eight Inches deep, filled with fresh water three times daily, will answer, and an old dlshpan Is large enough for them to bathe In. tTnl!ke hens, Indian Runners lay the full year not so steadily, of course. 31 UTAN Life.
