    After all items were battened down and luggage given a protective cover of feed sacks, duckmen and ducks rolled out in comparative quiet. But at the first gasoline stop, the waterfowl were fooled by the bright lights into thinking it was morning.

    The vegetables, which are often difficult for the duckman to obtain, the farmer sorts out from his potatoes turnips, beets, cabbages, etc., and places but little value upon them. Fed to ducks this inferior quality will produce meat salable at fifteen to thirty cents per pound.

    1906, Reliable Poultry Journal Publishing Company, Artificial Incubating and Brooding
