Barred Plymouth Rock Hen.
breeders of the very best type, and so
reducing to the lowest practical point
the waste of feeding inferior young
stock.
Professional breeders were COM
PEELED to do this, because no other
plan of economizing comparable to it
in efficiency was open to them. Good
feed in abundance had to be used,
whatever the cost, or their birds would
not attain full development and COM
mand profitable prices.
Their methods generally are so well
adapted to their work that no consid-
cradle saving of time and labor is pos
sible. The only solution of their prob
lem was the exclusive production OF
poultry of the quality that would bring
profitable prices, for in feed and care
birds of high quality cost no more to
produce than those Of greatly inferior
quality.
For the professional breeder this ex-
act adaptation Of the stock to the END
for which it is designed is a necessity.
In the matter of producing eggs anu
meat there is not the same absolute
necessity. The volume of production
can be maintained, and even greatly
increased, by the continuance and ex-
tension of those better practices which
have made possible so much of the
increase which has already been
attained. But If the producers OF
eggs and poultry for the table are
to do their utmost to increase the
supplies of those products, the east
est, the shortest and the surest
way is through general use OF the
most productive types; that is, by the
use on the part Of every poultry keep
err of the most productive types in his
stock. It is not meant that there
should be wholesale replacement of or
| binary stocks by stock of strains cele-
| brated for extreme high production.
That may be done to advantage IN
many instances. But with the great
majority of poultry keepers immediate
gain in production must be made by
good use Of such stock as they have.

MOST PRODUCTIVE HEN TYPE
Poultry Keepers Aim to Combine Econ.
omy and Efficiency-More Eggs
From Fewer Hens.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agricuiture.)
American poultry keepers as class
have always aimed to combine econ
omy and efficiency in poultry produc-
ton. In wartime patriotism impels
them to extraordinary efforts in this
direction, moving them to do every
thing, and to leave nothing undone
that will help to quickly increase the
nations supplies of poultry and eggs.
1t is not the high cost of feed alone,
since America entered the war, that
has led to more careful attention to
the routine work in poultry keeping,
and to greater judgment and skill in
feeding. The saving Of money has
been an incentive, but, above and be-
yond that, every poultry keeper real
ICES that getting better production
from less feed is doing double duty IN
conservation and production-saving
feed and at the same time increasing
food.
That American poultry keepers are,
on the whole, more efficient in egg pro-
duction seems to be plainly indicated
by the fact that, as compared with the
period before the war, market receipts
of eggs increased more than receipts
of poultry. Reports from persons IN
touch with production in many locah-
ties agree that more eggs are being
produced from the usual numbers OF
hens kept, and in many instances from
smaller numbers. It may well be pre-
.sumed that such efficiency in one line
OF production extends to others closely
co-ordinated with it, and that poultry
meat is being grown more economical
ly-though no common statistics indl-
cate it, and it is not so readily OBJ
served in common practice.
Among professional breeders OF
standard poultry the first result OF
wartime conditions was to. emphasize
afresh, and more effectively than ever.
the benefits Of rigid selection Of breed
ing stock and severe culling Of the
young stock while growing. The high
cost of feed hit this class Of poultry
keepers hardest because, even under
normal conditions, considerable part
Of their stock must be carried for quite
a long time after coming to maturity
before it is sold. The concentration
of interest and industry upon things
Immediately relating to the conduct of
the war and the production Of food
tended to decrease the demand for
their stock.
So, with stock actually cOstin" Il
great deal more than in normal times,
they had to face the problem of either
reduced sales or lower prices on good
grades of stock to attract trade. Some
chose one alternative. some the other;
but all adopted the policy of using only
