SELECTIONS OF BREEDS.
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and
Wyandottes Best.

For general farm use and for the back
yard flock the American or general pur'
pose breeds would probably be the best
such as Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island
Reds and Wyandottes. For the egg
breeds, if one desires TO specialize in that
feature, the Leghorns, Anconas, Minor
cas- and Spanish are the most popular
generally speaking, their popularity
ranges in the order named
You will find there are good and poor
laying strains in any of the above breeds.
But with the present day science and
efficiency methods you can make great
Improvement in any strain YOU NAV
have, towards more eggs, more meat or
for exhibition. So when it comes right
down to which breed, il really makes no
difference; use your preference, but be
sure they are pure bred and then i'm
prove that strain along the lines you
want to follow.
The advantages of pure-bred birds
over mongrel-bred birds are manifold.
Pure bred poultry means uniformity of
products. Uniformity of products means
increased profits, ii properly marketed;
that is, with mongrels you have only
two products-eggs and meat-but with
pure bred birds you not only have eggs
and meat but large demand for hatch
ing eggs, day-old chicks, coekerels and
pullets.
1t is in these combinations of poultry
products where the money in poultry
lies to-day. They are part of the eff
cheney methods spoken of above. For
