BILE fowls and in certain eastern To-
calities are raised extensively for soft

paratively few eggs, but certain
strains have been developed for egg
production which lay enough eggs to
be profitable. The Langshans do not
enjoy the popularity Of the Brahmas
as a meat type. but are about equal
to them in egg production. One fea-
ture of this class of meat breeds
which renders them Improbable in
certain localities is the fact that pack
ers object to the feathered shanks
and will not pay as high price as
for some other breeds.
The general purpose fowls are un-
doubtedly the most popular In tho

in the state. OF 234 farmers which

6S Leghorns, 81 Rhode Island Reds,
and 81 Wyandottes. Many farmers
kept two or more breeds. This shows
the popularity of the Plymouth Rocks.
and there are several good reasons
for this popularity. The Plymouth
Rock breed are a trifle heavier than
either the Wyandottes or Rhode Is
land Reds. They are slower to ma
ture than the Wyandottes. but make
excellent winter layers when early
Matched and bred for that purpose.
During the past two years an experi-
ment has been carried on at the col
lege to determine whether the White
Plymouth Rock could be bred for
high egg production and transmit
these qualities to their offspring.
About 25 birds were selected for the
experiment. One of these, hen 1893.
laid 200 eggs from January 1 to Sep
tember 5, total of eight months. The
packing companies which annually
buy and pack immense quantities OF
poultry have a decided preference for
the Plymouth Rock.
The White Wyandottes are very
popular and differ essentially from
the Rocks in being pound lighter in
weight and more blocky in form. The
Rhode Island Reds have nearly the
same shape as the Plymouth Rocks.
but weigh the same as the Wyan-
dottes. For meat purposes the Wyan-
dottes excel the Rhode Island Reds.

a much larger egg. The Minorcas are
considered by some people very good
winter layers, although would not
recommend them as such; owing to
the large size of the eggs they are
bred in certain localities where pre-
MUM is paid for large eggs. On the
farm, however, 1t is different propo-
sition and the farmer can scarcely
afford to keep this breed and sell his
eggs on the regular market. The
Hamburgs lay large number Of win
ter eggs, but the eggs are usually
nuite small. The birds are very popu-
lar owing to their beautiful color (sil-
yer and golden spangledD and are
nrobably the most profitable Of the
beautiful breeds. They are great IA

1t Is not always an easy matter for
one who intends to keep poultry for
the first time to make wise selec-
tton of the breed best adapted to their
purpose. Numerous articles have been
written in the poultry papers concern
ing the merits of various breeds, but
as rule these articles have been
written by breeders whose opinions
are prejudiced in favor Of the breed
which they keep. Consequently they
are often confusing and misleading to
the beginner. With this in view the
writer will endeavor to give an un-
prejudiced opinion of the merits of
tho various breeds.
For convenience. we will classify
the breeds into three classes: 1. Egg
breeds; g.. Meat breeds; 8. General
purpose breeds. There are other
breeds which do not come in this
classification. but as a rule. they are
0nprofltable and are raised only for
their beautiful plumage, or some
other characteristic.
The three principal egg breeds are
the Leghorns, the Minorcas and the
Hamburgs. II person contemplates
receiving their income entirely from
eggs and can afford to eliminate the
dressed poultry side of the business,
one Of these breeds should be his
choice. The Leghorn enjoys the
greatest popularity of the three at the
present time and probably will con-
tinue to be as popular in the future.
Owing to the small size of the breed,
they consume less feed than the
larger breeds and consequently pro-
duce eggs at a much lower cost. The
records of a pen of White Leghorns
and White Plymouth Rocks at X. s.
A. c. showed that 1t cost cent a
month more 10 feed the Plymouth
Rocks than the White Leghorns. The
Ieghorns laid more eggs than the
Rocks and produced profit of $1.S7
per hen for s months as compared
with $1.61 per hen with the Rocks
during the same period. The Leg
horn undoubtedly lays more eggs the
second year in proportion to the num-
ber laid the first year than any other
breed. The records at the station
show that out of pen of II hens, 16
bad laid during 18 months an aver
age of 283 eggs and Of these 16. IA
had laid over $50 eggs. of which 4
were over the 300 mark. These birds
are still laying and undoubtedly sew
eral more hens will lay above 300
eggs by the end of the two-year Pc
riod. The Minorcas are larger than
the Leghorns and would necessarily
hpnsume more feed. but in return lay
