cal values of poultry. Many stand
ard breeds are divided into varieties
differing in color, but identical in
every other respect.
Color is not primary utility point
but as a secondary point often comes
in for special consideration. For ex-
ample, a white variety and black
variety of the same breed are actually
identical in table quality, but because
black birds do not dress for the mar
ket as clean and nice looking as white
ones, it often happens that they are
not as salable.
When a flock of fowls is kept for egg
production only, uniformity in color
is much less important than approx
mate uniformity of size and type, yet
the more attractive appearance of a
flock of birds of the same color justi-
fies the selection for color as far as
it can be followed without sacrificing
any material point.
When poultry keeper grows his
own stock year after year, he ought
by all means use stock of a well-es-

most rugged in constitution. The
Dorking excels in quality of meat but
is generally considered somewhat lack
ing in hardness. The Cornish is rath-
er hard-meated but being very short
feathered, has it's special place as a
large meat producing fowl in south
erly sections where the more heavily
feathered Brahma does not stand the
summers well.
Characteristics of General Purpose
Breeds.
Among the popular breeds of the
general purpose claSs there are also
differences in type adapting breeds
to different uses. The Plymouth Rock
is generally regarded as the type meet
ing the widest range of requirements
in the general purpose class.
The Wyandotte is a little smaller
and earlier maturing, but still very
well meated and easy to fatten.
The Rhode Island Red has nearly the
same standard of weight as the wv
andotte, but is more active bird, not
putting on fat so readily; consequent

breeds of fowls have been made and
developed on the general principle OF
practical quality the foundation of
breed character and value.
Classification of Useful Breeds.
In harmony with this principle the
common classification of breeds accord
ing to their place In the general scheme
of poultry production, divides them
into three principal classes, namely |:
Laying breeds, meat breeds, and gem
eral purpose breeds-that is, breeds
that are not as ready and persistent
egg producers are the laying breeds,
and not as meaty and as easy to fat
ten as the meat breeds, yet combine
in one Individual fowl very good laying
capacity with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class; the Brah-
ma, Dorking and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red and Orpington OF
the general purpose class.
Characteristics of Egg Breeds.
The breeds mentioned as the laying
class, with the exception of the Mi
norca, are relatively small, very en-.
! ergetic and lively, mature early and
are easily kept in good laying condi
ton. The Minorea is of larger size
and modified somewhat in the other
particulars mentioned, yet has more
the character of the laying class thar
any other.
Characteristics of Meat Breeds.
In the meat breeds there is not the
same uniformity of type that is found
| in the laying breeds. The three men
4 toned are quite different. The Brah
ma is more popular because it is al
the same time the largest and the

ly it approaches TIE laying type and
is popular with those who want eggs
and meat, but want eggs most.
The Orpington is at the other ex-
IRENE in the general purpose class, be-
ing heavier. meatier fowl than the
Plymouth Rock.
Breed for Every Purpose.
Such list of breeds affords so wide
range of choice that poultry keepers
can always select standard breed
better adapted to their locality and
their purpose than any non-standard
stock they can procure, and having the
further advantage of reproducing true
TO type.

Each Breed Has Its Place.
To the novice In poultry keeping 1t
often appears that there is no real ne
cessity for so many breeds and varie-
ties as have been standardized In
America. Further acquaintance with
them, however, shows that although
color differences are in most cases
made merely to please the eye OF
persons having different preferences
for color, the differences in shape and
size which make breed character have
been developed with view to adapt
ing each to particular uses or par
tieular conditions.

breeds kept as novelties, most of which
originated before industrial progress
created large demand for poultry
products, all the standard American
