“Tn the selection of a breed be-

ginners should give the subject.
One mist have.

careful. thought.
a definate purpose for which. the
birds are maintained, the. condi-
tion: under. which they are to be
kept,. as -well-as the object for
which the birds are wanted. It
should. be well understond that
while all fowl are useful both for
meat and eggs, .one. breed will
answer .a single purpose better
than: another.

..Poultrymen, generally divide
birde into: what are known as the
egg: breeds, ‘meat breeds, the gen-
eral utility breeds and also what
are termed the fancy breeds, but.
the latter are more ornamental
than, useful. |

yThe erg breeds a are $0 ocalled on
account” of; their) natural tendancy
to produce. eges ‘more economi- |.
cally. than’ in-the ‘other. classes.
The egg breed is .ulso known as
the Mediterranean class, so named
because they originally came from
countries bordéring on this. great |
sea, the most prominent ‘of: which

are. the Leghorn, Minorca, . An-|

cofia;.: Andalusian ‘and Spanish. |
‘These. birds differ from. others in
shape, size. and disposition... _

- The Leghorn is the most popu-
lar of this class of fowl, and there
are eight varieties, All the va-
rieties are extremely ‘hardy, good
foragers, but where the birds are

‘maintained: for eggs’ only. the a
single eomb white i is : the popular 2

While this is of some advantage

with the Leghorn in popularity.

The Andalusian and the Spanish

is objected to.on account of" ‘the’
color of its skin, and the latter is
a delicate bird and does not win-
ter well. It must also be remem-
bered that all: Mediterranean birds’
suffer, during ‘the winter. in the -

eggs so that. the local. choice of: ,
ergs must be considered, The.
birds are also of a nervous dis-
position and do not asa rule show

which is a decided ‘advantage if
