ANSWER. ss... e..s.--.s
Line breeding is something that l.
win have an article on shortly What
is termed Zine breeding by most
breeders is by mating every season a
certain line of blood that has been 1,
tried and that they know has pro-
duced a large per cent Of what we are
after. In other words. It is. best to ,
take .pullets that are produced from a
good breeding male, chat you have
tried and tested and know that he
produces what you want and breed
this male bird back on to his daugh-
ters, which have only half his blood.
Then select, a brother to these pull
let's and mate him back TO the hens
that were in the same pen he was
produced from. If you have ten hens
in this yard, there is probably one
chance to ten that any of the or
spring would be from his mother. The
following season, you take this cock
erel that was used with the old hens
this year and mate him with the pull
lets produced from the old male bird.
This would give one out-cross. Then,
you take one of his (the cockereD
sons and mate him with the pullets
which would now be hens. that were
crossed on the old cock the first year.
b, continuing this process, you main
tain about 70 per cent of the orig
inal blood you started with and can
in a few years establish any shape
or color you desire, much quicker by
doing this than you can by going out
after new blood and probably bring
ing something back into your flock
that you had worked several years to
get rid Of If you know how your
birds breed, and properly mate them,
you can usually get rid of any defect
in one seasons mating. or can much
improve any weak points in your
flock in one or two seasons mating.
This is practically what is termed
cline breeding" However, my article
win explain more fully, and viii be
more lengthy on this subject.
Chickens Matched in July and June
will lay Just as many eggs as IL
Matched at any other season of the
year. As rule, they never mature
to be quite so large or develop as
nicely as the early Matched chickens
or those Matched during the winter
months. That is one reason that many
people do not use them for breeding
purposes largely, as very few of them
ever get to be standard weisht-

and make It one part bran, one part

part meat scrap and add a small
amount of coarse sand TO this. Do not
feed them any more than they VIII

ones just what they swill eat up clean

good idea to substitute an occasional
feed of oat meal and grits mixed

some fine oyster shell placed before
them at all times.

Please advise me through The
Journal concerning my little Indian
Runner Ducklings. They are ten
days old and have been dying since
they were five days old They are
fed properly, kept from the water,
except enough for drinking purposes,
and they continue to die with some
thing like spasms. They first lose
use of their legs and act as If hurt
or crippled and little later, get on
their backs and die with the heads
drawn. Their necks seem, to have an
extra crook in 1t and they seem to
suffer very much while in this con-
dition. / keep them in clean pen
where they have access to shade and
the only thing / know that might
sinjure them is the feathers OF the
mother hen which broods them
They certainly ate these feathers
from the time the ducks were hatch
ed till now. have removed the
hen, fearing that there might be
enough dead matter in the feathers
to cause timber neck, or ptomaine
poison. Their necks are not neces-.
sarily Timber, though they are very
hearty unul they get in this condi-
ton. 1 found lots of mites on one
of the dead ones, but cannot, find
any more. especially, since I have
put lard and sulphur under their
throats and wings, being careful
not to get any on their heads.
Please advise me at your earliest
possible convenience. A

and want you to answer the following
questions for me, in your Journal
department:
l. What Is Zine breeding?"
2. Do chickens Matched on in June
and July make good stock to breed
from when they grow of nicely, and
seem to be healthy? How soon would
they mature for laying?
3. Is 1t necessary to have prize
stock chickens to raise prize winning
chickens? Wfll any good pure stock
raise fine birds?
4. Are the White Rocks as good
all-round chickens as you could have?

ANSWER

1 think there are two reasons for
your losing your little ducks. One
is, they are weakened from the lice
that are on them or have been. The
other is, If sulphur is mixed with
2 grease ana put on young fowls OF
any kind-if they get wet it is sure
to injure them while young. You
should ne-er mix sulphur. and kero-
sene VIZ. lard to put on chickens.
Your little ducks should have plenty
OF green food. such as tender grass
or lettuce cut up fine. If you do
this, they would not eat feathers
If they eat feathers. IL shows that
they have not a balanced food
They should have plenty of good
coarse sand and shell where they can
get 1t at all times. You should feed
them on a mixture of bran. shorts
and corn meal, one-third each, with
some coarse sand mixed in IL, also
some prepared commercial meat
oserap If you can possibly get #,
Bread and these three mixtures soak
ed in sweet milk will also be good fer,
them. After they pass two weeks
old, it is a good idea to give them
some good dry feed-such as crush
ed corn and wheat, or oat meal and
grits. Hoping that this will give
you some information that viii ben
