mon-grelis- m Definitions of Breeding Methods Primarily it is not advisable to make practice of mating birds more closely related than first cousins and the more distant this relationship can be drawn apart the better the chances for success In making a start with a flock of fowls however if one wishes to preserve the same strain of blood or in creating a new breed it is usually necessary to breed fairly close for a number of years or until certain qualifications become Intensified and fixed If this breeding of related birds is done intelligently with the view to fixing superiority in color shape and so on it la called If the breeding of related stock is done Indiscriminately and brothers and sisters are bred together for generations for no particular purpose it is called or In other words line to in is the keeping breeding ame ancestry —the same blood lines without the disastrous effects of It is carefully selected systematic is a term applied ’to the practice of Introducing new blood every year but such blood is of the same breed is innew a disof blood troducing entirely tinctly different breed Through fear of the flock degeneratconsider it ing many poultry raisers absolutely necessary to bring in new males every year Very often they make a practice of exchanging males with nearby farms which is the vogue among farmers especially This is inspired by the right idea but it is likely to be accompanied by trouble If it is desirable to Introduce new blood the rule should be to do so— not just because it is new blood but also because it is superior to your own in vigor and other ways It Is very difficult to raise standard bred birds if new blood is added to the flock each year You may buy a pure bred male to mate with 3'our pure-bre- d females and later find that the two strained failed to “nick" properly That is the mating may throw offsprings with defective combs disproportion or poor color which will take several generations of special breeding to eliminate In short the advent of new blood is a speculation Two Divisions of the Same Strain A better way to introduce new blood is to take two years to do it and experiment wtih Individuals Purchase a few hens of the desired strain and mate them to your best males or secure a couple of outside males and mate them to your best females then study their q i offspring for a year and if satisfactory mate the new blood to the balance of ' the flock There is no evidence to prove that initiates degeneracy care is exercised providing reasonable each year in selecting only vigorous breeders and there is a large number of fowls from which to choose The more remote if danger becomes even same blood are two divisions of the after year This conkept going year two distinct strains or sists of keeping the same farm both of matings oncommon which have ancestry but' which grow farther apart every year Every season the males of one lin'e are mated to the females of the other line and vice versa these lines having been started by mating the best male to the best female and continuing the second generation by mating the original male to his daughters or the original hen to the son Proceeding in a similar manner for the third generation the original male Is matedhento togranddaughher grand-eo- n ters and the original which practically eliminates from each line its original respective sire or

Three of these are bred with rose combs as well as with single combs The advantage 'of the rose comb is obvious Leghorns are the greaetst of layers nevertheless cold winters frost large single combs

mated in any way either among themselves or back to their parents Therefore to continue at all practically It is necessary to maintain two distinct pure breeds year after year and to destroy the “hybirds" as soon as they cease to be profitable This occasions many separate houses and yards for the sexes of each pure breed and for the crosses which is both expensive and troublesome Sometimes it is profitable to “grade up" a flock of mongrels such as are found on many general farms by in' Puretroducing pure-bre- d same malea bred males of the variety should be used year after year however and not the males from the offspring of the first 'cross - In- the course of four 'or five generations with careful selection it la possible to “grade up” the original flock of mongrels to the level of the pure-bre- d male In ' appearances' but scarcely in breeding qualities There or less chance of a reis always-morversion to type in breeding from mongrels hence it is often cheaper in the long run to commence with pure-bre- d stock Barnyard fowls are better than none of course but why keep mongrels when pure-bre- d birds can be had for almost the price of meat? Those who appreciate the value' of uniformity in body and eggs and who realize the need of transmitting these qualities to the progeny find no argument in favor of the "manure pile diggers” There is more beauty and more dollars in the thoroughbred — be it hog horse cow or fowL How to Select the Male In selecting males for breeding purposes the first qualities to—consider are those in plainest evidence the general Only such appearance of the birds specimens should be chosen as meet with the standard requirements of a breed If a bird has a poor particular comb wry tall color defects or if he is too large or too small he should be discarded immediately At the same time the males are being judged for their appearance their conduct should be carefully noted for a fowl’s actions furnish one of the most reliable guides to its breeding breeding cockability The desirable erel is always on the alert aristocratic in manner combative —a good fighter and one who believes In crowing about it Crowing is an Indication of vigor and vitality and characterizes mascuunlinity A cowardly bird is totally and fit for the breeding pen Fear physical weakness usually go together The male that runs at the approach of another is apt to be a degenerate After selecting the males for general appearance and conduct final Judgment is passed on their physical qualifications in other words their shape and build The body of the vigorous fowl is broad deep and blocky as conslender trasted with the long thin type A bird’s plumage 1 apt to be deceiving in this respect consequently all candidates for the breeding pen should be carefully handled and inspected The male should be selected for the same requirements as the females A commonplace inquiry is: How many females to place with each male? No fixed rule can be given The breed size of the flock living quarters and the general health and vigor of- the stock are all determining factors In general more males are required with the heavier breeds And the larger the flock the fewer males are required because where a number of males are in the same pen there is less favortism cross-breedi- nod-sitte- ’ e -
