lect breeding stock.
Accurate and rigid selection of
breeding stock should commence
early. Study the flock carefully espe-
cially as regards the laying hens
which have the reddest combs and
which hover around the nests. Those,
which are first off 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, If not already
marked. and keep a record OF their
future operations. The use of such

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 sec.
ond one for the older hens. The pull
let's 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 flock
TO be used in future breeding opera
tions.
Too much emphasis cannot be plac'

pullets with suitable leg bands in or.

binary leg bands can be purchased for
ten cents a dozen and should be used
as means of Identification through,

of human life" as being one OF the
resources of the nation that is worth

was called upon to make a speech OF
