vitality and constitution which will
be able to rough It with a minimum
amount of attention.
Some people have natural liking
for certain breeds and by the prac.
tise of careful. painstaking 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 is
the variety best adapted for such
classes Of feeders.
Choosing q 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 q rouSh-and-ready, hardy,
profitable fowl. Any special prefer
ence for birds of q 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
colorod pin-feathers disfgure the
dressed bird. On the other hand the
white breeds present certain disad-
vantages, such as the fact that they
are more conspicuous and afford In
viting prey to hawks, and are hard
% keep clean and presentable.
one Breed Best.
A crying evil in rural poultry hus-
bandry ID 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 IL

which are first on the roost in the
morning and last to seek their
perches at night, which are the best
feeders and exhibit full crops at night
when going to roost, are the vigorous.
hardy specimens which lay best and
are the preferable types from which
to breed. Select such birds. band
them with leg bands, II not already
marked, and keep a record Of their
future operations. The use of such
stock precludes the liability Of the
worthless hen stealing her nest or a
failure in breeding due to the use Of
pullets and hens which have not In.
herited vigorous tendencies to lay.
Select Strong Males.
In the case Of the dual purpose
breeds the maintenance Of one male
to every fifteen females is attended
by best results. Much depends on the
individual vigor, vitality and prolific
acy Of the male. A male Of lazy, in.
active, sluggish temperament should
never be retained in the breeding pen
as he would undoubtedly transmit
these characteristics to his progeny.
The breeding flock should be al.
lowed access to a large range. Only
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
It always pays to have one pen in
which to house the pullets, and q sec.
ond one for the older hens. The pull
lets are thus protected from misuse
and abuse Of the older and stronger
hens until they mature sufficiently to
be able to defend themselves. Close.
rigid selection among the fowls Of
these pens should ultimately result in
the choice Of the cream Of the Aock
to be used In future breeding opera
lions.
Use Leg Bands.
Too much emphasis cannot be plac-
ed on the Importance Of marking the
pullets with suitable leg bands In or.
der to distinguish between them. Or.
binary leg bands can be purchased for
ten cents q dozen and should be used
as a means Of Identification through
out the flock. A record including the
age Of the bird and the setting from
which the fowl was hatched-is abso-
