Excerpt from Ducks and Geese The methods used by successful Long Island duck raisers differ Widely in some particulars and since in the space at command, it has been impossible to describe all the methods used, the plan has been adopted of detailing in the main the methods of one successful grower. This it is believed will prove to be more helpful and less confusing than to attempt to give the method of several different men.

Excerpt from Ducks, Geese and Turkeys The duck business possesses many features specially to recommend it to farmers and smallholders. One is that it can be successfully conducted on a very small area. There are thousands of men and women in Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire the home of the duck industry-who-'every season rear and market upwards of two thousand birds upon considerably less than an acre of land. One man, whom I know, a few seasons ago reared and marketed over three thousand birds on just over half an acre. Another great advantage of this trade is the fact that the overturn of capital is so very rapid. From the time the egg is laid until the duckling is ready for market - I am referring now to the early duckling trade and not to the rearing of stock birds, which is another matter-should not exceed three months. This rapid overturn of capital is a most important point to those whose funds are strictly limited. Another Obvious advantage of the early duckling trade is that there is always such an excellent demand for the birds and prices range so very high.

Excerpt from Ducks at a Distance Identifying waterfowl gives many hours of enjoyment to millions of people. This guide will help you recognize birds on the wing - it emphasizes their fall and winter plumage patterns as well as size, shape, and flight characteristics. It does not include local names. Recognizing the species of ducks and geese can be rewarding to birdwatchers and hunters - and the ducks. Hunters can contribute to their own sport by not firing at those species that are either protected or scarce, and needed as breeders to restore the flocks. It can add to their daily limit; when extra birds of certain species can be taken legally, hunters who know their ducks on the wing come out ahead. Knowing a mallard from a merganser has another side: gourmets prefer a corn-fed mallard to the fish duck.

Excerpt from How to Make 50 a Year by Keeping Ducks: Also, the Breeding and Management of the Most Useful Varieties of Geese The primary object I have in view in compiling the treatise-as the title conveys - is to show How to make 50 a year by keeping ducks, and also how to augment that income by breeding geese. I have, consequently, dealt only in my work with those varieties of ducks which I con sider best fitted to accomplish the object to be achieved.

Excerpt from The Ducks, Geese and Swans of North America: A Vade Mecum, for the Naturalist and the Sportsman The existing literature on the identification of waterfowl describes mainly their spring plumages. This is of little avail to the sportsman who is afield mainly in the fall, and it hardly suffices for the ornithologist, who is afield at all seasons. Early fall plumages in many ducks are confusingly similar, vary with sex and age, and change with the fall moult. Hence it is often impossible to identify a bird-in-hand, even after looking it up in a "bird book." The existing books do not suffice. Mr. Kortright has sensed the need for a year-round waterfowl book and has done a scholarly job of writing one. While he disclaims being an ornithologist, I detect no lack of ornithological competence in what he has written. I do find much useful and interesting subject matter which most ornithologists omit: What docs a given species weigh, and how does weight vary? How does one distinguish a bird of the year from an old bird? When do the moults occur? The best printed description often fails to clarify the distinctive character of a species without the help of a competent artist. Mr. Shortt's paintings, portraying all of the more important plumages of a given species, in themselves justify the publication of this volume. His drawings of diagnostic features will also clarify many a moot point. I particularly endorse Mr. Kortright's thesis that the sportsman of the future must get his satisfactions by enlarging himself rather than by enlarging his bag. The homebound sportsman unable to name the ducks slung over his shoulder is an anachronism, a relic of that I-got-my-limit era which nearly ruined the continent and its resources. Few sportsmen have ever tried the sport of learning something about the game they pursue, the wildlife they see, or the plants they tramp over. Why is this species here? Whence does it come, where go? What limits its abundance? What was its role in history? What arc its prospects for survival? What peculiarities of habit and habitat comprise its "standard of living"? To always seek but never quite achieve a "bag-limit" of answers to such questions is the sport of the future. To my mind it is appropriate that this book should issue from the pen of a Canadian. Canada is the birthplace of most waterfowl; this book attests her growing activity in waterfowl research and conservation.

Excerpt from Domestic Water Fowl: Ducks, Geese and Swans; How to Rear and Manage Them The Cayuga is as much an American breed as the Aylesbury is English or the Rouen is French, and it ought to receive much more attention from our fancy breeders. It has not been very extensively propagated until within a few years, and is now a rare bird in the. Farm-yards of our country. It is as easily raised as the common Mallard, and with careful breeding for afew generations may be brought up to the weight of the Rouen. It is said to have originated on the shores of Cayuga lake, and to be a cross of the wild black duck upon the common Mallard. However that may be, it has been long enough propagated to have very distinct qualities, and is properly called a breed. 'the head is small, neat and slender; the bill broad, rather short and dark in color; neck medium; breast broad, full and prominent; body long and round, very full and plump; wings long and carried well up; legs medium in length, and black or a dark slate color; plumage of drake of a glossy black throughout; the head and neck of a brilliant greenish hue; also, the wing coverts, but not so decided in color, the primaries of the duck some times being of a dark brown, all the rest is a' jet black; a few flashes of white in the breast of the duck oh jectionable, but not a disqualification.'

In this connection, my thanks are due to Dr. J. A.

Excerpt from The Indian Ducks and Their Allies A further complaint which is equally sure to be raised will refer to the change in the names of many ducks which we have all known and accepted for so long. To this I have but the same answer as that which I have already repeatedly given. The names we have hitherto used are not correct, and therefore cannot be retained, and in justice to the man who first named any species that name must be used. It may inconvenience some of us of the older generation, but the newer will learn to know the bird by its correct name, and will suffer injury neither to his sentiments nor to his convenience. The classification adopted is practically that of Blanford in the fourth volume of the Avifauna of British India. Since that book was written, some ornithologists have lumped genera together, whilst others have placed almost every duck in a separate genus. Convenience and facilities to the student seem to advise a medium course between these two, and so this has been the course adopted. Some of the plates in the first edition have been replaced by new and better ones, and others have been improved; a fuller index has been given, and a complete list of the authors and their works referred to in the synonymy. To facilitate reference each species has been dealt with in the same manner: (1) Synonymy, (2) Descriptions of male, female and young, (3) Distribution, (4) Nidification, and (5) General habits. It will be noticed that in this edition the title has been altered to "The Game-Birds of India, Burma and Ceylon Ducks and their allies (Swans, Geese and Ducks)," as this edition now forms the first volume of the series of The Game-Birds. The second volume will be the Snipe, Bustards and Sandgrouse, just published; the third volume will be the Pheasants and the fourth the Partridges. I have to record my very cordial thanks to the Authorities of the British Museum for the kindness with which they have allowed me to work in their galleries, for the constant assistance given to me in my work, and for placing at my disposal so vast an amount of material and so excellent a library. In this connection I would especially wish to thank Messrs. R. Ogilvie Grant and W. L. Sclater, who were in charge of the Ornithological Department during the time I was employed in revising the first edition.

Excerpt from Tales of a Poultry Farm My dear Little readers: - I have often wondered why there were not more stories written about Chickens and their friends, and now I am glad that there have been so few, for I have greatly enjoyed writing some for you. Did I ever tell you that I cared for my father's Chickens when I was a little girl? That was one of my duties, and the most pleasant of all. It was not until I was older that I became acquainted with Ducks, Geese, and Turkeys, and I always wish that I might have lived on a poultry farm like the one of which I have written, for then I could have learned much more than I did. You must not think that I understand no language but English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
