POULTRY RAISING 



35 



in this case you would have to buy your breeders each 

 season and the best way to do this is to sell off half of 

 your stock during the early fall and replace them with 

 pullets of which you can always buy at one dollar each 

 during September and October. You can buy better 

 birds for your money during these two months than at 

 any other time of the year. One reason I specially ad- 

 vise single-combed White Leghorns in preference to any 

 other breed, is because you can always buy all you want 

 for one dollar each good laying stock 



I advise changing your breeding stock at end of second 

 year's laying, as two years is all a hen can be relied on 

 to pay a good profit and she should never be kept after 

 this unless she is an extra good one which you want to 

 use as a breeder.
