Several Good Reasons Popularity This Variety

BY +. s. JACOBY. Poultry Division.
Kansas State Agricultural College.)
Vt is not always an easy matter for
me who intends to keep poultry for
The first time TO make wise seiec-
lion of the breed best adapted to their
purpose. Numerous articles have been
written in the poultry papers concern
sng the merits of various breeds, but
IA 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
wrher will endeavor to give an un.
prejudiced opinion Of the merits Of
The various breeds.
For convenience. we win classify
he breeds into three classes: 1. Egg
breeds: 2. Meat breeds; 3. General
purpose breeds. There are other
breeds which do not come In this
classification, but rs a rule. they are
Improbable 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 a 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.
iuce eggs at a much lower cost. The
records OF pen OF White Leghorns
and White Plymouth Rocks at X. 8.
A. C. showed that It cost 1 cent a
month more to feed the Plymouth
Rocks than the White Leghorns. The
Leghorns laid more eggs than the
Rocks and produced a profit OF s1.S7
per hen for s months as compared
with s1.61 per hen with the Rocks
during the same period. The Leg.
horn undoubtedly lays more eggs the
second year In proportion to the mum,
her 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 IS months an aver
age Of 2s3 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 900
eggs by the end Of the two-year pc
riod. The Minorcas are larger thar

Realizing, young as she was, that
she would be kept awake at night
when her sparkling days came. she

She could be laid away on the bed,

any other place. and she would con-

Mrs. Huntington, the grandmother.

II was her duty to recommend sage
