Your Life Prospecf

White males, who have reached the
age of ten, can expect on the average
to live 30 years more. A generation
ago the figure was only 46 years. The
life OF man has thus been increased
four years in about a generation, says
a leading life insurance company,
Woman's gain has not been as great
Her life expectancy is about fifty-two
years, a gain of a tride more than a
year and quarter. But she still leads
man. This prOlonging Of life, SAYS the
insurance company, is the result of
campaigns of health, education and
public health service. That, and not

prove to be the road to an average

Ing. Black spots are also common

In females, but this does not indicate
impurity. There is a decided tendency
for the males Of this variety to come

for this reason breeders are usually

ings, one for the production Of males
Of standard color and the other for
the production Of females of standard
color. The system Of double mating,
Of course, complexities the problem Of
producing high-class Barred Plymouth
Rocks
In mating for males Of exhibition
color a male of about standard color
IS used with medium dark females or
those two or three shades darker
than females Of exhibition color, Ia
which the barring is as distinct and
as narrow as possible. This mating Is
known as The cockerel mating because
1t produces greater percentage Of
standard-colOred males, while the
females produced are too dark, but
are suitable for continuing this line
Of breeding. In mating for females
of standard color, females Of about the
desired color are used with medium
light male or one that is two or three
shades lighter. than standard and with
good barring. This is known as the
pullet mating, because it produces a
greater percentage Of females of the
proper color, while the males are too
light but good for carrying on this line
Of breeding.
Those who produce standard Barred
Plymouth Rocks, therefore, must have
what amounts to two separate flocks
IN order to keep their exhibition birds
uniform. The average farmer however,
does not usually exhibit or sell breed.
Ing stock and will still continue to
make a single mating as he has always
