quently asked than the third query
above. It is safe to reply that there is
no best breed. The breed or variety
with which one man may have the
greatest success may be an absolute
failure with another man. Some poul-
trymen will have nothing to do with
any fowls other than Reds. Others pin
their faith to the Orpingtons. Others
do better with the Rocks than with any
other breed. and so it goes all through
the list.
For small ranges it is safe to say
that one or another of the American
breeds will prove most satisfactory.
These breeds are the Plymouth ROCKS
the Rhode Island Reds, the Wyandottes
and their numerous varieties, or the
Orpingtons. which are an English
breed.
Fowls Of these breeds combine egg
, production and table quality in ad-
mira BILE fashion. They all lay brown
shelled eggs, all are good winter lay
ers. when properly cared for and fed.
and all make excellent table fowls at
all ages. from squad broilers to stew
ing chickens

The Leghorns make as fine broilers

they are not desirable for roasters.

Laying Age of Pullets.
White Leghorn pulIets properly
grown should begin laying at six
months of age. In this, however. they
have little if any advantage over pull
| let's of other breeds. as much depends
| on the manner of brooding, feeding,
etc. IN bringing a pullet into laying.
Many instances are recorded of Wyan-
dotte. Rock, Red, Orpington and other
breeds of pullets laying their first egg
at five months or even younger AS a
matter of fact. little is gained by hav-
ing pullets start laying at five months
or therea bouts, as abnormally early
laying usually means a corresponding e
shortening of the period of profita BILE
productlVeness, and always means that
such pullets are not to be chosen as
breeders because of the weakening eff
feet of such early laying.
choice of breed of poultry may be
set down as an individual matter. Most
men have an idea of the breed or va
riety they like best. and they are likely
| to have the best success with the breed
or variety they fancy. 1t is impossi-
