~HE selection of the breed of
poultry is always a momen.
tous problem to the beginner.
There are some poultry breed
ers and far too many farmers who
make this problem Of breed selection a
continual one and are always chang
ing or sending away for a sitting of
eggs of some newly advertised breed
of poultry or swapping ROSTERS with
the neighbors Such fickleness, of
course, prevents all progress.
For those who are breeding standard
bred poultry and whose main object in
keeping fowls is to win the prizes at
the shows and thereby sell stock to
farmers and other breeders the selec-
ton of breed is most important ques-
ton. Could one always select the
breed which is to be popular five or
ten years hence making money in poul-
try breeding would be an easy prob
lem. Indeed, we could all get rich if
we knew the future, but as it is the

majority of those who tie to novel and
untried propositions. whether it be in
fancy poultry or mining stock. get the
worst of the deal.
The following general statement may
be laid down as safe guide: Poultry
shows and the poultry fanciers are
usually several years ahead of the
farmers in their breed fancies; hence
the man who selects the variety Of
fowls which are steadily gaining
ground among the breeders will have
good chances of finding a market for
his stock among the farmers a few
years hence, but of course his chances
Of selling stock to other fanciers will
not be as good as the man who takes
up with new breeds still earlier in the
game. The reader must not interpret
me to mean that poultry breeds come
and go as do fashions in ladies' hats.
They are furthermore like mems clothes,
in which there are always some changes
of fashion, but also a few leading types
which hold their own pretty well from
year to year.
Popularity of Breeds.
Poultry breeds are supposed to differ
in form and habits, while the varieties
of each breed differ in the coloring of
the plumage. The following list will
give an idea of the leading breeds of
chickens as judged by the numbers ex-
hibited at shows and advertised in
leading poultry papers lin this listing
the games and bantams have been
omitted, as the breeds of this class
have little interest to the practical
poultryman): Plymouth Rocks, Wyan-
dottes, Leghorns, Orpingtons, Lang
Hamburgs, Polish, Houdans and In
dian Games.
Plymouth Rocks rank, Barred, White
and Buff, in the popularity of varieties.
These three types are shown in more
nearly even number than in the case
| of Wyandottes, where the Whites are
exhibited more numerously than the
other five or six varieties put together.
Among the Leghorns, the Single Comb
White is now easily the leading va
riety, though few years ago Brown
Leghorns were the more popular
That the representation of breeds on
! farms is quite different from that Of
the show room will be readily seen
| from the following percentage Of
breeds on farms, which the writer tab
ulated while poultryman at the Kan
sas experimental station:
Barred Plymouth Rocks, 45 per
cent; Brown Leghorns, II per cent;
Black Langshans. 10 per cent; White
Leghorns, per cent; Light Brahmas,
4 per cent; White Plymouth Rocks, 2
/ per cent; Buff Plymouth Rocks, 2 per
cent; White Wyandottes, 2 per cent;
other varieties and mongrels, Ia per
cent. For those who are to consider
the keeping of poultry for market the
following ranking of breeds by poultry
packers will not be without interest:
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Indian
/ Games. Langshans, Leghorns, Brah-
mas. mongrels.
The ranking of the breeds Of poul-

toward some particular weakness or
disease results in the production of
still weaker offspring, so that the
strain will soon die out. On the other
hand, the breeding of related stock
that is particularly vigorous will re-
suit in the increase of health and vi
tality and the intensifcation of what
ever good points it may possess. In
practice it is well to breed related
fowls for three or four generations
and then bring in some fresh blood.
but the miscellaneous introduction of
new blood as practiced by farmers
who get new ROSTERS every year prac-
tically prevents all improvement OF
the flock.
