NO BEST BREED OF POULTRY
There Are Three Classes Specially
Adapted to Production Of Eggs
and Meat.

prepared by the United States Depart
mcnt OF Agricultural
There Is no best breed Of poultry.
That, at least, Is the opinion of men
in the United States Department OF
Agriculture who have been studying
the business for years, and have had
experience with all varieties Of nll
breeds In America. To so among
your friends and ask for advice about
the kind OF chickens to start with
would be about MS productive of con-
iIctIng Views MS II YOU asked for help
in buying n motor cur or typewriter.
Every man has his llklngs, and some
have good reasons for them, but In the
end the beginner will have to be the
Judge; wherefore the opinion of the
department specialists will be about
the best guide: Keep only one vGrE.
ETY. of breed, and select the breed
that suits your purpose best Be sure
of one thlng-have n standardized
male at the head Of the flock Such a
bird will improve the quality OF the
stock materially. A mongrel male
will produce no Improvement
These are the reasons: Standard.
bred fowls produce uniform products
which bring higher prices.
Standardized stock and eggs sold
for breeding purposes, bring higher
prices than market quotations,
Standardized fowls can be exhibit.
cd, and thus compete for prizes.
Eggs and stock from mongrel fowls
are not sold for breeding purposes.
Mongrel fowls are not exhibited In
poultry shows or eXpositlons.
General-purpose breeds are best
suited to most farms where the pro
ductlon Of both eggs and meat Is de-
sired. The four most popular repre-
sentatives of this class are the Ply
mouth Rock, Wyandotte, Orpington,
and Rhode Island Red.
All these breeds, with the exception
of the Orplngton, are of American or.
gIn. They are characterized by hay.

of English origin, has white skin,

which may be had upon application
to the Division of Publications, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Mediterranean or egg breeds
are best suited for the production of
white-shelled eggs. Representatives of
this class are bred largely for eggs
rather than for meat. Among the
popular breeds are Leghorn, Minorca,
Ancona and Andalusian.
An outstanding characteristic of the
egg breeds is the fact that they are
Classed as nonstters; that Is, as a
rule they do not become broody and
hatch their eggs. When fowls of this
class are kept, artificial incubation
and brooding usually are employed,

LanGshans, Brahmas, Cochins, and
