The second year, take the best cockerel from group No. i and 

 mate back to his mother which is hen A. This will be group 

 No. 3, which will be three-quarters of the blood of hen A and 

 one-quarter of the blood of male C. Then take the best cock- 

 erel from group No. 2 and mate back to his mother, which is 

 hen B. This will produce group No. 4, which is three-quarters 

 of the blood of hen B, and one-quarter of the blood of male C. 

 Now take the best pullet from group No. i, and mate her back 

 to her father which is male C. This will be group No. 5, which 

 will be three-quarters of the male C and one-quarter of the 

 blood of hen A. Then take the best pullet from group No. 2, 

 and mate her back to her father, which will be male C. This 

 will produce group No. 6, which will be three-quarters of the 

 blood of male C and one-quarter of the blood of hen B. This

 hen B. Then take the best cock from group No. i and mate 

 him to group No. 4. This will produce group No. 8, which is 

 three-quarters of the blood of male C, three-quarters of the 

 blood of hen B and one-half of the blood of hen A. This ends 

 the third year's breeding.
