Book Description
Excerpt from The Indian Runner Duck Book: The One Authoritative American Book About This Marvelous Egg Machine One of the English treatises, The Indian Runner, was writen by Jacob Thomlinson, who first knew this duck in County Cumberland. He refers to Mr. Donald's (earlier) work, and al so to a brief treatise by Mr. Henry Digby, giving credit to these men for all items not within his own, personal knowledge. Th illustrations in the Thomlinson pamphlet are from drawings by Mr. J. W. Walton. They give, says Mr. Thomlinson, a clear insight of what a true Runner should and should not be. This shows that Mr. Walton has long been a trusted author ity on Runners, having intimate personal knowledge, both of cor rect type and of history. The models from which these pictures were drawn were ia tended to be used as a guide to both old and new fanciers, to ob tain a more uniform idea of type and standard. This shows how English breeders regard Mr. Walton's drawings, and how they defer to his knowledge of the breed.

Book Description
Dear Brother Root.-I hope you will not take It amiss if I say that I feel that you have treated me about as you did the duck to which you gave "a bad name while she was quietly attending to business." My chief "business" In writing "The Indian Runner Duck Book" was to clear up the much muddled history of the Indian Runner, and to preserve the white-egg duck for the farmers. The American Standard. In affirming that the true duck is worthless, bade lair to push that duck entirely out of the country. All breeders know that changing the type of any bird Is likely to destroy its most valued points, and this is peculiarly true of the Indian Runner. The original heavy-laying Runner laid a white egg. Our markets often discriminate in favor of the white egg. even against the light brown one. Much more would this be the case against a green one: and as to taking too much space on this point, It was the one point where farmers needed warning. It was. In fact, the foundation of the whole matter; and I have had many letters from farmers telling me how long they had looked for just such a book, and how exactly It lust met their needs. If you will pardon me for so saying, it seems to me that you, who know so little about ducks-on your own showing-and who, on your own showing, believe the facts only when you have proven them (as to the good laying, for Instance), have hardly reached the point where you can logically set up your opinion or your experience against that of the men who raise perhaps 20.000 or 30,000 a season. These are the men who say ducklings should not get wet while downy. If you will look In the right place you will find that my book also says that they should have water so that they cannot get wet in it. Young ducklings chill very easily, and wet down adds greatly to the danger of such fatalities. Another point where it seems to me you fall to "play fair" is this: In the very number of your journal where my advertisement appears (a journal which has a good reputation), you charge me, who have also. I believe, a good reputation, with writing a book less valuable than It should be. You do this because you Ignore the point of view from which It was written-that of the farmer who must sell market eggs: and you do It In the very number wherein my advertisement of the book appears. We published this book ourselves, not offering It to any outside publisher at all. It cost quite a bit of money. We are paying you for advertising. We cannot tell all we know In a fifty-cent book. We hope to get out a larger edition late in the year, which will tell all the things you want to know. Finally. I feel that if you would be just, you will publish this letter in the same department wherein your comment appeared. C. S. Valentine. -Gleanings in Bee Culture, Vol. 39, Issue 5

Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... A SERIES OF ARTICLES o AS THEY APPEARED IN THE FARMER'S GUIDE i . * ARTICLE ONE As a breeder of this great money making breed of ducks we desire to give a few facts in connection with them to the poultry public. Every week, yes we might say almost every day, we have letters of inquiry regarding their habits, the management of them, etc., and we will give our experience as nearly as possible through a series of articles which will appear in this valuable paper for a few weeks, over our signatureSo much has already teen said that one would think little else could be said, but really "the half has not been told." Many people ask me the question. "Why are Indian Eunner Ducks so profitable, so much more so than other breeds?" I invariably reply: "Eecause Ihey are regular little egg machines." Really one man accused me of saying, "because they lay two eggs a day and other varieties lay one." 1 deny the charge, but I do say the Indian Runner laid an egg yesterday, to-day and will tomorrow. Right on, day after day, week after week, month after month. With a flock with its foundation made up from some great laying strain, such as ours are, and with good care and management, we might say they are veritable gold mines, nothing less, for indeed that's the word to use. Beginning one must be sure of this heavy laying si rain else their fondest hopes are crushed in their infancy. There is as great a difference in the laying qualities of the Indian Runner Ducks as in any other poultry. Indeed there is. Last spring, along in March, we knew of a flock of Indian Runner Ducks that had good care and management and exactly same food as our own and the women never got an egg, while we had been shipping eggs every day since January 20th, for setting purposes, ...
