Obtaining High. Glass Breeding Stock
10 Easier fer the Small Poutryman
When Sales Are Held.
lens by farmers, aud the owners OF
big plants, has resulted In great i'm
provement In their practices.
The county extension organization
ia Alameda county, California. has
taken steps through Its poultry divi-
sion to raise the standard Of all poul-
try In the county by improving the
quality Of fowls used In breeding
focks. Owners OF hatcheries In the
county have entered into an agree
ment with the county extension or
ganixatiOn to use eggs for incubation
from selected breeding stock, exclud-
ing the incubation Of eggs from the
general run of fowls In the locality,
with the understanding that the coun-
ty extension organization shall fur
nish lsdses to pass on the desirability
of birds selected for breeding.
This method Of controlling the
quality Of the poultry In a county is
expected to result In a rapid general
Improvement In the productivity Of
the nocks. 1t should also give the
county good reputation wherever
Matching eggs or birds are sold.
Promising development that is being
encouraged in the famous Petaluma
poultry district Is the consignment
sale Of cockerels. In this the poultry
breeders have been following the lead
Of other growers of high-class live
stock. Cattle breeders have been
holding bull sales for a number OF
years; sheep breeders have ram sales !;
hog breeders have sales Of boars and
Of bred sows. In the case of cockerels
no pedigree papers are supplied, as
they are with other kinds Of purebred
live stock, but sworn affidavits as to
breeding 60 with each bird.
A White Leghorn cockerel sale was
held In Sonoma county (the Petaluma
district) October Is. The ii Pacific
coast breeders who consigned birds
gave sworn statements as to their
breeding. According to the county
agent, who was instrumental In put
ting on this sale. most Of the 90
cockerels consigned represented un-
usually high breeding, many OF them
having pedigrees extending back eight
or nine generations with trap-nest rec
ords. Most OF them had inheritance
records OF more than 275 eggs In a
year and some more than 300. The
fact that 1000 catalogues were issued
shows the Importance given to the
first sale Of this kind.
These two methods of flock improve
ment ought to be popular among poul-
try raisers in all parts Of the country.
They are practical. say the poultry
men of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, and they help to make
good stock available to the average
poultry raiser who In the past has had
no assurance, other than the breeders
word, that he was getting birds Of
superior performance merit. Few
dairymen, hog growers or beef-cattle
raisers are also good livestock breed
ers, but methods have been developed
that make IL possible for any good
farmer to build up an excellent herd.
1t should be just as easy for poultry
raiser to improve his flock.

steepIeIacks Defy Death.

A wager of f5 has inspired four
steeplejacks, who have been repairing
one of the tallest chimney stacks in
the Mebden bridge district of York
shire to extraordinary feats, according
to the London Westminster Gazette.
They hoisted a bicycle to the top,
and on wooden platform one of their
number balanced himself on the saddle,
while a second sat straddle-legged on
his shoulders with outstretched arms.
Two other thrilling feats were per
formed. One of the steeplejacks stood
erect on a narrow iron spike on the
top of the chimney. Then he seized
the topmost stave of ladder, raised
his legs to the sky and balanced him
self for few seconds on his hands as
calmly as If he were on parallel bars
on the ground. Thousands of specta-
tors were thrilled by these extraor-
binary feats.
