THE POULTRY YARD.
THE BEST BREED OF FOWLS.
Rural Press.

/ The best fowls are those which will return
the farmer the most money for time, labor.
and food expended. Ifa common or cross
bred lot OF fowls will do this, they are bet
ter for the farmers purposes than breed
which. in a fancy point of view, will com
mand higher prices. As far as we are con
cerned, we confess a leaning toward the best
blood i'll all kinds Of stock, whether in horse
| flesh or neat-cattle, or other live stock, and
we have invariably found 1t to pay we'll.
But here's the rub; many farmers do not
care to expend considerable sum of money
to possess an entire flock Of pure-bred chick
ems, and so dismiss the matter entirely. not
even, in many instances, procuring good,
pure-bred cock, to bring up the quality of
their homegrown birds.
There are many persons who think it not
only possible, but comparatively easy, to
have both large size and superior laying
qualities united, and that by uniting breed
noted for large size with breed renowned
for the production OF eggs the thing is done.
That it is possible to increase the laying
properties of the common tlocks of the coun-
try by coupling the best hens and pullets
with tirst-cIass cock or cockereI from an
producing breed, we we'll know; but
we can assure those who are anxious to
make such a trial that you cannot combine
extreme large size with superior laying
qualities, and cannot ever tell what will re-
suit from such cross until you see and test
the produce, for the more violent the cross
the more uncertain will be the result, inya1-
iably. Though some breeders overlook this
very important poi.it, and, consequently,
fail to succeed.
parties, it is notst!iought best to have flocks

EGGS.

If an increase OF eggs is desired in the
poultry yard, before very large sums OF
money are expended in the purchase Of ev-
erasting layers, we Wouldtrecomaend tile
keeping OF no hens after the first, or at
most, their second year. EARLY pulets give
the Increase, and the only wonder is that
people persist, as they do, in keeping up
stock Of old hens, which lay one day and
stop three, instead of laying three days and
stopping one Tn some parts of England it
is the nvarable rule to keep pullets only
one year. Feeding will do great deal-a
surprising work, indeed--in the production
OF eggs, but not when old hens are concern
ed; they may put on tat but they cannot
put down eggs Their tales are told, their
work is over; nothing remains to be done
with them but to give them smell OF the
Kitchen tire and the sooner they get that the
better for all parties. Of course there are
some old favorites whose lives can be spared
as long as they can send forth their repre-
sentatives. Jlitlicious mating, by which we
mean the advantage of youthful cockerel,
may be fhe means of even exhibition poul-
try making their appearance from the eggs
OF agOod hen, and here we have the excep-
ton to the rule upon which we insist-Lo,s-
