OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

The grower who expects to realize
nice profit from his poultry. will
keep purebred stock. Any of the
standard breeds of poultry have years
of intelligent breeding back of them
and they can be depended on to give
satisfaction.
Cross-breeding Is a step backward.
Most breeders who practice cross
breeding. mate one of the larger breeds
with one of the smaller, as Plymouth
breeding is to produce fowl that
will not only lay well, but one that
will also make good table fowl The
result of such crossing Is always dis
appointing and results in flock that
Is little better than mongrels.
The advantages of keeping pure
bred stock are numerous: One can
market uniform product in eggs
and stock. The value of uniformity
in products cannot be over-estimated
case of eggs all of color and size,
or coop of hens that run uniform in
size and color, will usually sell better
than mixed lot of eggs or a coop of
mOngrelS.
When purebred poultry is kept one
can often sell eggs for Matching OF
mature stock, at prices that one coult
not expect to realize for market egg
or scrub stock.
And then the satisfaction and prid'
of caring for a flock of purebret
chickens is a point that ought TO b.
considered.
