Quality, Not Quantity.

A mistake In mating means a great
deal. 1t is like farmer planting poor
seed corn and in the fall being re-
wafded for his seasons work by nub-
bings. writes T. F. Rigg in American
Poultry Journal. The most common
mistake in mating pens Is putting in
too many females. This is especially
true OF the beginner who has but one
pen. He has raised 1S to 20 pullets
from two or three sittings Of eggs pur-
chased Of a reliable breeder. The birds
are an even lot In appearance. and he
takes 1t for granted all will make good
breeders. Here is where he makes
great mistake. He should critically
examine each female, after selecting
the male bird. He should take only
the very best of these. and II he finds
but three or four which fulfill the re-
quirements, these and these alone
should be used in the breeding pens.
BY so doing he will raise stock supe-
fior to that he would secure by sim
ply putting In the pen al many fe-
males as the male can care for regard

have uniform and valuable lot of
chicks. with but few culls. He can
give these chicks better care during

or four times the number. l like to
