"Thnre is probably no more disagreeable tusk about the farm than that of picking ducks," says M I'm EiL'nne (I Ben n, farm advi.or f (,!). n'nyhr,viia Dj partujont of Agriculture. "And likow'.se there is hardly a more delicious dish to set before the king than roast duck. There would probably be many more ducks raised and eaten if it were cot for the diflicnlty of picking thorn. ' After the duck has been killed rub into tho skiu tine powdered rosin until tho roots of the foathors are well covered with it. Then 6cald and the picking is oasi'y done. Dress tho duck, wash and cleanse thoroughly, then prepare a stu fling for tho duck using i-otatocs rather than bread The reason for this is because duck moat is naturally dry and the potato stuffing lond to the meat moisture wtnlo tho bread stuffing absorbs from tho meat what little moisture' there is in it. Season the potato stu IT- wg with onion, sag aa't, pep psr, etc., to suit your tastoaud place inside the duck. Lot tho duck set until the nexl day thon phcein the roister and roast slowly until it is browned beauti fully and it is ono of the best fowls we can. choose for our tables."
