time has arrived when every ambitious
breeder should give careful thought
to the opportunity for success along
these lines. The breeder who is sue
cessful in producing strain of birds
capable of good production has a
promising market among the so-called
breeders of utility fowls. If he is
successful i'll combining standard quail
ity with this production, so that he can
produce birds capable of winning in
the poultry exhibitions of the country,
he has profitable outlet in the sale
of breeding stock to those who are in
terested in exhibitions of that kind.
The man who breeds only for stand
ard quality, or a person who produces
fowl only for utility value has re-
stricted market outlet for his stock
which will prove much less valuable.
The fact should not be overlooked
that the mai who breeds for standard
requirements and therefore for beauty
in his fowl has something which the
casual observer can see and appreciate
and develops in his birds quality of
advertising value in the sale Of breed
ing stock. On the other hand, if he
has only egg production to commend
his stock, he must tell the purchaser
about it, fol. there is little or nothing
! which the prospective buyer can see
in the birds themselves that indicates
whether or not the strain is a good
producing one.

POINTS ON HOUSING POULTRY

4 = y x y
The back and sides of the poultry
house should be absolutely tight in
order to prevents drafts which may
cause colds in the flock
The front of the house should be SO
high that the windows or openings
will allow the sun to shine well back
into the interior during the winter.
Burlap, unbleached muslin, OF light
weight duck cloth may be used for
curtains in the front. This cloth should
be thin enough to allow slow circu-
lation of al. without draft. This is
impossible is too heavy a grade of
duck cloth is used or if the cloth is
oiled or painted.
If the curtain is not attended to,
however, curtain-front houses may be
less satisfactory than. the open-front
type even in northern ATTITUDES.
A large amount of glass in the
front Of the house makes it warm dur
ing the day but cold at night, as glass
radiatcs heat very rapidly. Some glass
however, is helpful in providing light
when the curtains are closed. Some
ventilation should be given in poul-
try house even on the coolest night.
It is usually secured by leaving a
small window open or having muslin
curtains in the front of the house. If
the house is shut up tightly without
any muslin curtains in front, there is
a tendency for moisture to collect in
the house and condense on the rafters
and other woodwork on frosty morn
ings. It is not necessary to close the
muslin curtains in the front of the
house except in very cold or stormy
weather. Hens are protected by ma
ture with warm feathers and high
body temperature, so that they are
better able to withstand dry, cold air
than warmer air which is damp.
