In breeding among our fowls Is
really necessary to establish certain
prominent and desirable character
istics. To this end the breeder wants
to turn his attention, giving 1t
Thought and testing his ideas by ex-
pertinent. II you raise this season,
any strong and promising specimens,
with the characteristics that you
wish to perpetuate, put them to-
gether for another season In breed
ing, even though they be brother and
sister, and watch the results. But
the best plan for in and in breeding
is to take the strongest and most
vigorous cockercls possessing the quail
titles you wish, to endure and cross
him with the yearling hens favored
largely with the same qualities. Or
IL you have a fine old male, cross
him with his best daughters, and fol-
low this plan out through all your
live stock breeding. We know of a
thoughtful old farmer who followed
this course in breeding for eggs and
says that after a few years had hens
that were half as large again as his
original stock and all splendid layers
of large eggs. He killed of all the
hens that layed small eggs and saved
only those that laid large ones, and
these qualities were inherited by
their progeny.
