They are called green ducks, and the market is alwavs good. One experienced au- thority says that the cost of raising ducklings is from six to ten cents a pound. It costs, therefore, from 30 to 60 Cents to get the ducklinga up to the market and into the market. Figuring food alone, five cents ~a pound will cover the cost. Under average conditions, fifty cents above che ccst can be obtained, which makes a handsome profit. ELUSINB EXEHCISES ll THE U. ll. ll.
