VIGOROUS FOWLS.
Watch the Flock and Pick Eest fc-
Future Breeders.

Any person that has much to do
with fowls is forced to notice the
greater yigor of some when compared
to others In flock of so fowls per-
haps ten will show exceptional vigor.
These should be kept for breeding,
and the fowls with weaker constitu-
tions should be disposed of, says Farm
ers Review. This vigor means a great
er power to produce flesh if flesh is
wanted or to produce eggs if eggs are
wanted
The vigorous fowls are the ones
that resist disease the most effective
ly. The disease killing factors in
their blood are more powerful than
in the less vigorous fowls. Therefore
with such fowls, the losses from dis
ease are sure to be less than if other
fowls are kept. The less vigorous
birds are the ones that first fall vic
tins to any poultry disease that
comes along. Therefore the quicker
they are fattened and made into meat
the surer is the owner of getting his
money out of them.
The less vigorous fowls are doubt
less as good for food as any others,
and that is where their greatest utility
will be found. This question of vigor
has not received the attention it is
worthy to receive, for it counts for
much in the development of the far
mer's flCck.

A brooder without the two following

First. The door should be large and

of the first week of their existence.
Second. 1t should be so constructed
that the door may be closed in bad
weather, the hover removed, chicks
fed and watered, mats changed, ETC.,
