The Laying Breeds.
The laying breeds originally came
| from the region around the Mediter-

| fefred to as the Mediterranean breeds.
| The most popular of these is the Leg
horn. Leghorns are small birds. not
| more than half the size of the Asiatics.
| They are very active and coed for
ayers. They Outrank any of the other
breeds in laying qualities. laying both
summer ard winter if properly cared
| for. They are not adapted to the poul
! tryman who pays no attention to his
chickens, as they will not lay unless
! they are given good care. They lay
white eggs weighing ten to the pound.
The eggs of the American breeds
weigh eight to the pound.
The small size of the Leghorn hens
makes them cheaply kept. They are
ilrly maturing. often beginning to lay
when they are four and half months
old Their flesh is Of good quality, but
their size is against them from a mar
liet standpoint. The only way the
cockerels can be disposed Of at profit
| is to sell them as brOilerS at two
pounds weight or smaller. Of the sew
eral varieties of LeghOrn the white
and brown are the most popular from
4 utility standpoint.

~ HERE are breeds, varieties and
strains of poultry almost with
out end. To the beginner in
poultry culture the question OF
which one to select Is puzZling one,
and the older poultrymen often won
der if they would not do better TO
change breeds. The purpose for which
chickens are kept will determine
which class Of fowls is best. AS to
the varieties within that class, it is
largely matter OF individual prefer
ence. A brief description of some Of
the leading varieties LAY be of help
In making d selection.
The General Purpose Breeds.
Chickens may be grouped into four
general classes: o. General purpose
breeds; (2) meat breeds; GO laying
breeds; a. ornamental breeds. The
aim of the breeders OF general purpose
fowls is to combine laying and meat
producing ability to the greatest ex-
tent possible. The general purpose
birds will not average as prolific lay
ers as some of the more strictly egg
fowls. For producing meat, however,
they are fully as efficient as the strict
ly meat breeds. For the general farm
er who is keeping poultry as side
Issue the returns from the general pur-
pose breeds will usually be greater
than from any Of the more specialized
breeds.
The most popular and most widely
distributed Of the general purpose
breeds is the Plymouth Rock. 1t is a
medium sized breed, deep breasted and
well proportioned. Plymouth Rocks
are very, good layers. especially the
first year. After the hens are q year
old they tend to become fat and slug
gsh and lay fewer eggs. The meat is
Of excellent quality. The chickens
make good broilers at from three to
four weeks of age or can be profitably
fed for later markets. They are early
maturing and as rapid growers excel
all other breeds Chicken feeders who
crate-fatten extensively put the Plym-
Outh Rock in first place for this pur-
pose.
There are three varieties Of Plym-
outh Rocks-Barred, White and Buff.
The great trouble with the Barred
Plymouth Rock Is the difficulty in
keeping the color markings up to stand
ard. They tend to become unevenly
barred, the bars become too wide or
too narrow OF the general color too
dark or too light From a utility stand
point this factor is of little importance,
but where birds or eggs are sold for
breeding purposes it is important that
the color markings be up to standard
The Buff Rocks have a tendency to
vary somewhat from the desired shade
and TO produce black feathers in wings
or tail. They average little smaller
than the Barred or White varieties.
The White Rocks breed true to color
the easiest The hens Of this variety
show even more of tendency to be
come Overfat than do those Of the
Barred variety.
Plymouth Rock eggs are brown.
which is something Of an objection in

tefs. There are two varieties hIac,,
and notified. The objection applias to
THIS breed that is made to all birds
with black plumage- that the black
'pihieathers detract considerably from
the appearance Of the dressed fowl
such birds are seriously Disseminated
against In the markets. The FOREGOING
Dfeeds have been developed in this
country and are known as American
breeds. There is also an English
breed, the Orpingtons, that gives very
.ood satisfaction as a general purpose
fowl.
The Meat Breeds.
Inc meat breeds. most of which are
Aslat1cs, are the oldest breeds in this
country. The Brahmas. one of the
most common Of these. are large. the
male weighing eleven to twelve pounds
and the hen eight and a half to nine
and half. This large size is one of
the chief points in favor of the Brah-
mas. They are slow maturing. and 1t
takes considerable feeding to get their
large frames thickly enough covered
with meat TO be. in good market condi-
ton. Like all feathered legged breeds.
the Brahma is clumsy and for this
reason does not make a first class
mother. The pullets are too slow in
maturing to lay many eggs the first
winter Even when matured they are
not heavy layers. though they do most
Of their laying in the winter when eggs
are high. This is largely because their
large size and heavy feathering make
them less susceptible to cold. AS meat
producers the Brahmas are about
equal to the general purpose breeds.
though for high class capOns they are
perhaps little superior. There are
two varieties of Brahmas light and
dark. The light Brahmas are tho more
popular. The black variety is more
difficult to breed for color. and much
attention TO fancy points has caused
utility to be largely lost sight Of.
Cochns are the second Of the meat

1f selection is sometimes reversal. \
reversal of selection is the beginning Of
degradation. 1t is degradation itself.
"The only way in which any race, a.
Il whole, has improved has been through
the preservation OF its best aud the loss
of its worst examples.
"rhe only race degeneration ever
