AUTHOR S PREFACE 



It is the hope of the authors that this book will serve 

 as a guide to the inexperienced and be helpful and 

 suggestive to the practical breeder. If this volume in 

 any way answers the numerous questions that are sent 

 to us, we shall feel well repaid for our labor. When 

 readers note any errors, typographical or otherwise, 

 they will confer a favor on the authors by calling atten- 

 tion to them so that corrections can be made in future 



editions.
