Mating Poultry.

Hens should be mated at least ten
days before eggs are saved for hatch
ing. In some instances when cocks
of different varieties have been in
troduced into a yard, the eggs laid
by the hens after three, four or five
days, have shown that these eggs
were fertilized by the new cocks.
But few days are hardly sufficient
where one wishes to be absolutely
certain of the results, for instances
also have occurred where the infu-
ence of a cock was shown two or
three weeks after the introduction
of a new one. To be on the safe
side, one should mate early in jan
uary for the eggs which are to be
saved through February and March.
Study your matings carefully.
Have a definite idea of what you
want to produce, and keep that idea
steadily in view when making your
matings. Be careful to select the
right brood cock. All the chickens
from given yard will have him for
a sire, and will possess some, at
least, of his characteristics. If an
inferior specimen, then inferior
characteristics may be expected in
all the chickens; if a superior fowl,
then superior characteristics will
be found in the chickens. If no
other member of the flock is thor
oughbred fowl, the cock should be
such. A thorough bred fowl may be
no larger, no stronger, no more Wig
orous and no handsomer than a
cross-bred or mongrel, but he poss-
esses one characteristic which the
cross-bred or mongrel does not, GER
tainty of breeding. His progeny
can be relied upon to resemble him
in many characteristics. One who
knows beforehand what to expect in
the progeny.
If a cross-bred fowl be used, the
chickens may inherit from either
breed from which he was produced,
and if a mongrel heads the yard
the chickens may resemble many
different breeds. The thorough
bred controls the characteristics, the
others do not. The brood cock
should be typical specimen, in
shape, of the variety to which he be-
longs, and in color if one wishes to
breed to feather. He should be
neither dwarfish specimen nor a
great overgrown one. The cocks of
medium weight are the best, hav-
ing the necessary activity, well-knit
frames, and being neither SO small
as to ruin the size of the chickens,
nor so large as to be awkward,
coarse, ungainly, sluggish and in
different. He should be in vigor-
Gus health, and bred from healthy
ancestry. Health, as well as dis
ease, is Unbeatable. His eye should
be bright, his comb red, his crow
clear, and his step active. He should
be neither too young nor too old
old enough to be well matured,
young enough not to have lost his
vigor. From ten months to two
years is the best age. He should
not be over fat, and yet should be
well nourished so as to have the
muscles well filled out.
