stock precludes the liability Of the
worthless hen stealing her nest or
failure in breeding due to the use of
pullets and hens which have not in

Select Strong Males.
In the case of the dual purpose

by best results. Much depends on the
individual vigor, vitality and prolific

these characteristics to his progeny.
The breeding flock should be al

the best pullets should be selected for
breeding purposes, the others being
sold for meat For good results in
breeding, more than one pen should
be available in the poultry houses.
For example in the fall when the
birds are brought in from the range

How TO
Improve
Them

The universal question Of the far
mer interested in poultry Is What
breed will prove most profitable for
general farm purposes?" He inces'
sanity besieges the poultry fancier.
the editors Of poultry journals and
similar authorities on chickens with
this query. 1t is impossible to answer
this question in the way the farmer
desires. He expects particular
breed to be named outright and char
acterized as the premier money-ma.
ker of all varieties.
Due to the great similarity existing
between the breeds, extreme varia.
lions in local conditions exist. AS q
result of individual peculiarities and
preferences of the owners Of the
flocks, no one breed can be named as
the most profitable for all farm pur-.
poses.
In general, the dual-purpose breeds.
capable of both meat and egg produc-
ton, are best adapted to farm condi-
lions. Specialized varieties are i'm
practical for the general farm. as they
require too much attention and care.

vitality and constitution which will
be able to rough 1t with minimum
amount OF attention.
Some people have natural liking
for certain breeds and by the prac-
tise Of careful, painstak1ng selection
can obtain the best results from their
use. Anyone who constantly over
feeds should select one of the special
reproducing types rather than a
meat-producing bird. The Leghorn 10

classes Of feeders.
Choosing . Breed.
The average countryman, according
to his natural preference. should
choose one of the dual purpose
breeds for the farm hennery. Any of
the common varieties, Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte. Rhode Island Red
or Orpington, should satisfy the far
mer for a rough-and-ready, hardy.
profitable fowl. Any special prefer
ence for birds Of certain color can
be readily satisfied by the wide range
of colors offered in the varieties Of
these breeds. A very misleading idea
prevails among many inexperienced
poultrymen that the color OF the fowl
radically effects its egg production.
This. is an imaginary view of the I'M
informed as the color Of the bird Is
Of no importance in determining ca
pacity for production.
There are some commendable fea-
lures about the variety in the feath-
ering of the breeds. The white fowl
is admirable, due to the fact that no
colored pin-feathers disfgure the
dressed bird. On the other hand the
white breeds present certain disad-
yantages, such as the fact that they
ara more conspicuous and afford In.
wiling prey to hawks, and are hard
to keep clean and presentable.
One Breed Best.
A crying evil in rural poultry hus-
bandry is the attempt to maintain
more than one breed on the farm.
The countryman should definitely de-
eide on the breed best adapted to his
conditions and then should work only
with this variety. The common con-
demnatory practise Of the farmer is
IN maintain one breed for a time and
about when this breed is proving sue
cessful, an alluring advertisement or
a snappy bit Of news matter charac-
terizing some other breed as world
heater" causes him to change the va
riety which he is raising.
This continual shifting of breeds
reacts upon the farmers pocketbook
and results in no good. A rigid rule
should be followed: Select the breed
which has proved its merit and then
adhere to this choice" Any of the
above-named breeds will prove profit
able if rigid selection Of breeding
stock Is enforced and ordinary care
is afforded the fowls. The search of
the farmer for a perfect breed instead
of devoting his energies toward the
Improvement of his present variety
should be condemned and derided.
The countryman is not going to dis
cover any such model variety no mat
ter how ardent his search He must
develop his present breed by means
of rigid selection, elimination Of in
feror stock, normal sanitation. and
healthful surroundings.
