The efficacy of this system has been
proved time and time again by old
cookers, who rarely or never breed

their game hens.
The pernicious effects of in-and-in
breeding is seen all over the country
at the present time. 1t is almost inn
possible TO find strain of any kind of
domestic improved poultry stock, in
the hands of our breeders, that has
not among its numbers on the place,
or near by, SITS sisters, its cousins
and its aunts, " as well as its brothers
or sons, "too numerous to mention. p"
This is inbreeding. And it is a style
of breeding that constantly has de-
teriorating effect, although this fact is
in the main realized by our poultry
fanciers but in few instances.
1t is, nevertheless, true that the
chief difficulty experienced among us
IN reproducing the best birds in sue
cession lies in our neglect to make fire.
quent and judicious changes in the
males we breed our hens to. And
now that SO many fine birds are raised
every year in locations separated by
long distances from each other, why
will it not be found of mutual advan-
tage to leading breeders of the princi-
pal varieties of fowls to exchange male
birds annually, where the stock is
known to have come from distinctly
different families, and the representa-
tlves of each of which are similarly
of prime quality?
This plan we have no doubt would
prove a clear improvement for both
parties, whenever such exchange is
made; and we suggest this idea to all
who have for years past been breed
ing only from a single known line.
"But "take heed lest We fall'' into
the error of introducing fresh blood

kindly" and confirm the points you
have already accumulated. Many a
breeder has ruined his strain by buy
ing breeding stock and not knowing

Fence posts are made very durable

easily done by putting the posts, butts
