Breeding Poultry.

'The tendency among all poultry raisers at the present tithe is to have ope breed of fowls, and not have such a mixture of breeds in their flocks as was formerly Add is still the case. Much better results and larger profits can be obtained with pure bred fowls than with mixed breeds. Wherever we see a nice flock of fowls, all of one breed, we see a farm well kept and prosperous. In order to find out for yourself whether pure bred fowls do better than a mixed breed, put .up .forty scrub fowls such as you see about almost all farms, in one lot, and forty pure bred, fowls in another lot; give both lots the same care and treatment and you will find at the end of several months that the pure bred flock has laid more made bigger profits than the mixed flocks
