Keep the Best Breeders,

me best birds should rot be sold but
be retained as breeders. This is the
way that Improvement in quality of
inc STOCK can be kept up. 1t is great
| mistake to sell the flower of the flock
ana then be forced to take what is left
tor the breeding pens. 1t does not m at
ter how tempting the offers may be, or
| no" much money may be offered for
the Dest OF the flock. the fact of such
an offer being made by another breeder
IS proof conclusively that the same fowl
would be just as valuable to the owner
Tor his breeding pens.
olten the breeder is hard pressed for
money. He takes pair, trio, or breed
ing pen to the show, and there some
visitor OF exhibitor with cash to spare
Is highly impressed with their excel
renee and beauty, and determined to be
Tue possessor of such fine specimens,
offers very high price for them. The
owner feels the need of money. and
,hihks 10 himself that this is an un-
usual chance to make money which may
not occur again in a lifetime: that these
much admired birds are the direct pro-
geny of inferior ones; that the same
Skill in mating which has produced
such fine birds can be exercised again in
the same direction. This reasoning is
Illogical, and the one who parts with
the best specimens of his production on
such reasoning Is taking back step, as
he cannot feel assured that superior
progeny will be the natural result from
inferior parents.
OF course there is strong temptation
to part with the best of the flock when
big price is offered, or to gain a good
customer Many novices may yield to
the tempting cfer, and cherish the hope
that the same breeders or their like
may produce as good results again. But
we caution one and all to Danish such
delusion and not part with the best
breeders for love or money, IL you aim
at attaining high rank in fancy fowl
breeding. Although cases have occurred
when apparently inferior breeders have
l-oduced specimens greatly their Sill
perior and cases will occur when -
vast improvement will be manifest in
each succeeding progeny, still the poll
cy OF selling the prime birds of the
stock and keeping the inferior ones for
breeders is unwise and cannot be TIM
strongly deprecated.
1t Is well to bear in mind the fact
that by continuously mating the flower
or the flock. or with equally as good or |
better specimens of other strains, we
are tending to progression step by stem.
Finely bred animals of every kind can
only be kept up to the mark of excel
lence by unremitting selection and at
tention. But If we use inferior birds
for breeders, certainly we make no pro-
gress. and may lose ground already

Crystal Palace, and six years later the
fowl was introduced into the United
States by the late Mrs. r. w. Sargent,
of kittery, Maine.

created. But to-day the Langshan is

The breed appears to have originated
in the province of Andalusia. in Spain.
1t was once classed as variety of the
common Spanish fowls. but was later
accepted as separate breed. The
breed produces larger birds than the
other varieties of Spanish fowls, and
they are also said to be harder.
The chicks feather rapidly and easily.
This helps them to resist the storms
and cold, and appears to aid them in
coming to maturity. They produce
eggs abundantiy, and are also consd-
cred good table fowls. The comb and
shape of the body resemble the other
Spanish varieties. The plumage is n
blush gray, nearly black on the back.
and glossy. The neck hackle is dark
slate, often nearly black, the tail blush
gray: the beak and legs are of a dark
blue tinge, nearly slate color. Some
times the piumage is penciled by dark
err shades.
The fowls mature early, and the
cocks are fighters. The hens do not
seem inclined to sit as a general thing,
being considered Hon-sitters.
There are reports of the hens having
produced as high as 22o eggs per year.
The flesh is of fine flavor. tender and
juicy. The birds are plump-bodied and
do not consume as much food as some
other breeds.
