COLOR IN POULTRY.
1t Requires But Few Years to En-
tirely Change the COlors of
Any Particular Breed.

The Madison square poultry show
held recently in New York was most
interesting exhibition of the different
cussing the exhibition, has this to say
as to the production of the colors to
which most fanciers attach so much
Importance: One interesting feature
of the poultry show which closed re-
Gently in the Madison square garden
was the exquisite coloring of the birds.
The show of buff and white Plymouth
Rocks was particularly good one, and
when it is considered that but i short
time ago there were only one or two
on exhibition, the increase to 60 this
year is remarkable. This is due to
fashion more than anything else, as
the few shown were so much liked that
the breeders went to work at once to
develop those colors. That it can be
done is evident from the number
shown this year. They are all high
class birds, and are the culling from
many more than were entered. The
method of producing the colors wanted
is simple. The cock is the one which
is most important, and when one of
the right color is secured-no matter
what his breed is so long as it is good
he is bred to pullets as near as pos
sible to the right calor. In the case
of the Plymouth Rocks, the Cochin
cock was used to develop the buff from
the old barred variety, and the Wy
andotte to get the white from the buff.
The first batch of eggs from the breed
ing was Matched, and those pullets
which come nearest to the buff were
allowed to grow up; they were bred
again to the Cochin, and their eggs
Matched again, the process being re-
peated until pullets and cocks of the
right color were obtained. Then to
get the white Plymouth Rocks the
same methods were used with Wy
andotte cock. No matter how close
the inbreeding is, the quality of the
birds or the eggs is not affected. With
other breeds, the colors wanted are
produced in the same way, and it re-
quires but few years to entirely
change the colors of any breed.

SELLING EGGS IN BASK ETS.

vored eggs, the hens should be fed on
clean food. The feed trough, drinking
vessels and the litter in which the grain
is scattered should be clean. Keep
your hens out of the barnyard and hog
lots. The unpleasant odor and flavor
of some eggs are caused more by the
putrid meat and decaying vegetables
that the hens have eaten than by
age.
Egg cases are cheap, and you should
have your own. Keep them clean, and
when the filters become soiled replace
them with clean ones. Gather the eggs
every evening and put them in the cases
as you collect them; this plan will save
handling them again. A strictly fresh
egg has an attractive ''bloom" that dis
appears with age and is rubbed off
by handling. Keep all the small eggs
and those that are soiled for home use.
