~ GOD blood counts in poultry as
well as in any other class of
live stock. If the chickens
and eggs are produced for
market purposes only they may be i'm
proved by purchasing pure bred males
Of the desired breed every year. At
best. however, the flock can only be
made high grade by this method The
enterprising poultryman will soon be-
gin to long for flock of pure breds.
Such flock. If carefully selected and
bred. furnishes a splendid source of ill.,
come that is largely independent Of
the market price Of eggs or dressed
poultry. The demand for choice pure
bred eggs for setting and for pure
bred males is good and the price very
satisfactory. A trade of this kind
when once established will add con-
siderably to the income from the
farm.
Getting Start In Pure BREEDS.
Even where the flock is kept for
market purposes only it pays to have
pure breds. They look better and give
more economical returns for the food
eaten. The cheapest way to get start
in pure breds is to buy sitting OF
two of eggs. 1t is Of utmost impor-
lance that they be purchased Of some
reliable breeder; otherwise disappoint
ment Is almost sure to follow. In.
sist that the eggs be not more than
FIVE days old when shipped, that they
be well wrapped and that the basket
be sealed. Have the eggs shipped by
