A colored preacher in Chicago adj
viscd his congregation of cOlored

Experience With sroilers.


From the Farmers Review: To be
candid, wish to say my experience
along this line Is somewhat limited.
However. I will give what little
know and trust It may be Of benefit
to some brother poultryman. In the
FIRST place. We must have the right
kind OF breeding stock. Now II is not
what variety we like the best. but the
variety that finds the most favor in
the market. We must raise what the
consumer likes the best. ! believe
the White Plymouth Rocks or white
Wyandottes make tho best broilers:
for the reason that their pin feathers
do not show Ms badly ~ do those OF
their darker-colorcG cousins. and
therefore present nicer appearance
when dressed. Now, after having
nothing but good healthy birds In
our flock. We begin saving eggs for
Matching about the first OF February.
