Sense In Crossing.

There can be no question that better
results, so far as eggs and flesh are o n
cerned, can often be obtained from
crosses than from pure-bred poultry,
and the reason is not far to seek,
writes Stephen Beale in Country Cen
pathetic, not antagonistic. 1t would be
foolish to mix chemicals without re-
gard to their consistent elements and
their affinities, and it is equally so to
breed on these lines. 1 am inclined to
think that chemical action has more to
do with breeding than we usually inn
agine, and study of the subject upon
these lines would probably open out a
virgin field to us.
The value of crossing Is seen in the
enhancement Of various points or quail
flies, and the increase of hardihood in
constitution. But it must be borne in
mind that the effect is by no means
prolonged, as can be confirmed by those
who have used cross-bred fowls as
stock birds.
1t would hardly answer however, to
carry this argument too far, for proba-
bly, most OF the evil enectS resultant
from the use Of cross-bred stock are
due to in-and-in breeding. Still, there
is the fact before us that it is found
cross-bred races rapidly deteriorate I'M
less there is a breeding back to one Of
the parent racers, and it Is on this ac-
count that nearly all students OF breed
ing urge that cross-bred fowls should
not be used again for stock purposes.
Darwin says that lin the case of
methodical selection a breeder selects
for some definite object, and If the in
dividual be allowed to freely interiors;
his work will completely fail. But when
many men, without intending to alter
the breed, have a nearly common
standard Of perfection, and all try to
procure and breed from The same ami
mails, Improvement slowly but surely
follows from this unconscious process
