ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
J.K.L., Te Aroha.— ln spite of the bird's pedigree, 1 do not advise you to use him again. The pullets are late in coming into production, and you, yourself, confess some disappointment, as you expected so much from the mating with such good hens. 2 do not feel inclined to suggest that the pedigree was not a true one. Some birds are not prepotent and breed worse titan themselves, which J should imagine to be the case with this bird’s parents. As the hens are so good, it would be wiser to match them again, getting a male from another source. (2) I would prefer to keep the pullets intensively, and this small run would be used to better advantage if you used it for growing green feed for them, such as perpetual kale, rape or mustard.
