Modern Market For Wilmington

After investigating Whining

the Department Of Agriculture al
Washington, recommends q mod
ern market house in place Of the
King street market, the abolition
Of the Office of clerk Of the market,
and nOn-partisan marketing
commission with a superintendent
Of markets. He also suggests the
erection of an enclosed market
building on King street between
Fourth and Eighth to take up an
entire block. The Market Com
mission after public discussion
will consider and act upon the re-
port.

these troubles are recorded. What
precisely is the fact. is as follows {:
In certain strains. there are
weak members. This is true also
among mankind, and also stock of
all kinds. The weakness may be
in some organ. The tendency to
weakness is hereditary. and APP
pears in q definite ratio among the
descendants of the faulty parents.
Knowing this. it becomes a matter
for the careful breeder to breed
right. and ne can succeed if he
works on approved methods. As
rule the trouble is not prominent
among the more experienced
breeders iOcks. In several cases.
cut Of pen Of ten birds, bred BY
one person, everal birds have
come to an end through some trou-
bic connected with the organs of
reproduction. Unfortunately some
Of the less experienced breeders
still force their fowls. They use
patent foods, spices, and other in
furious nostrums, and they, in
spite Of repeated warnings, use
green bone indiscriminately. There
never was, in my mind, any ques-
tlCn Of general deterioration. The
contrary is shown in the public
records. But as our entries in the
competition increase in number.
50 do the efforts of bad methods
Of breeding make their appearance,
and hence the words Of warning.
Without the incentive Of our egg
laying competitions, it is doubtful
if breeders would 50 carefully de-
velop their stock. The fact that
in few years, from the begin
ming Of handful Of careful breed
ers, We have now some hundreds.
bids one hope that as the years
pass, the majority Of the poultry
owners in this state, will, by
adopting scientific methods, bred
sound, healthy stock only, and of
the greatest economic value.

Undesirable Features-I want
10 say q few words about certain
undesirable features which are
becoming too common. l refer tc
the increase Of brOCdineSs among
Leghorns, and also to troubles
connected with the organs Of re-
production.
Broodiness. the maternal in
stinct, is, or should be, absent in
certain breeds. It's temperance
is due to reyersion. Broodiness
can be eliminated by strict meth
DDS Of breeding. Reversion is not
due to foods nor TO methods Of
feeding. The silly argument that
some food constituents cause
bl oodiness are what may be ex-
pected from the ignorant. Leg
horns which show any signs Of
broOdiness at any time, should
never be used as breeders. The
trouble originated in one or two
prominent strains which have been
extensively distributed. As these
strains are becoming more inbred.
without specially guarding against
broOdiness, the trouble is increas-
ing. This point is we'll known to
many breeders, and in other coun-
tries, there are thousands, that is,
members of Breeders Associations
and similar organizations, who
know that broOdiness in LeghOrns
is purely question Of breeding.
If hen becomes only slightly
broOdy for few days, a proper
ton Of her progeny will inherit
the tendency If two birds hav-
ing the broOdy instinct slightly
developed, be mated, some of their
progeny will inherit the tendency
in greatly increased degree.
As regards weakness in the or
gans Of reproduction, the same
remarks apply. Breeders are
warned against using hen as a
breeder if she has at any time had
trouble in laying, such as protru-
sion of the vent, too many soft
shelled eggs, etc. The armchair
director authority" writes that
these troubles are due to forcing
foods. AS regards the laying
competition that point may be dis
missed. The birds are not forced.
Further than that. it may be
pointed out that if these troubles
were Of modern origin, the time
