Show o MIXING BREEDS. ' " 1 Editor Deseret Farmer: Find enclosed, en-closed, my check for $1, to pay for r newel of my subscription to the Deseret Farmer, which paper I enjoy reading very much. Will you please answer through the paper, the following questions; I am trying to raise full blood Brown Leghorn chickens. Am doing busi- ncss on too small a scale to use an incubator and have a few Plymouth Rock hens for setting. I wish to know if there is any danger of mixing mix-ing the two breeds on account ot cockerels running with Rock hens? The. eggs tire easily enough told, and I wish to set only Leghorn eggs. N. P. FACKRELL, Blackfoot, Ida. Answer by C. S. Gorlinc. There certainly is. Just as well drop a live coal of fire into a basket of shavings and expect it not to burn as to allow Barred Rock cockerels to run with Brown Leghorn hens, with the expectation that the breeds will not mix. |
