THE JUDICIOUS POULTRYBREEDER.
The judicious poultry-breeder will cull his flocks carefully in the- : fall Out of three or four dozen young birds he should reject two-thirds or three-fourths. For the dozen selected fowls he retains, he can obtain, in the course of a season, six to ten- times the price he could have realised for the other forty, if he desireß to sell them. For his- own ■ breeding purposes, if he prefers, these are -wortl. far more to him than all the rest'.. For show fowls, these will prove-winners, And out of these perfect specimens lie may the next year produce a-largely increased percentage of prime cTuckeiu, ove; the average of their character which hi obtains in the first instance.'—America:. Poultry World. -
