THE BREEDING STOCK. 



The numbers of the foundation stock now secured makes prac- 

 ticable the avoidance of in-breeding, and this is strictly guarded 

 against, as it is doubtful if the in-bred hen has sufficient consti- 

 tution to enable her to stand the demands of heavy egg yielding. 



Males for our breeding operations have been raised from the 

 most desirable of the foundation stock during the last three years.
