C and three-quarters of the blood of hen A, and three-quarters 

 of the blood of hen B. This will end our fourth year's 

 breeding. 



We now take the best male from group No. 4 and mate him 

 to the best female from group No. 7, which will produce group 

 No. II. One part of the blood of male C and one and one- 

 fourth parts of the blood of hen B and three-quarters of the 

 blood of hen A. We now take the best male from group No. 

 3 and mate him to the best female of group No. 8. This will 

 produce group No. 12, which is one part of the blood of male 

 C and one and one-quarter parts of the blood of hen A and 

 three-quarters of the blood of hen B. This will end the fifth 

 year's breeding. 



Now we will take the best male from group No. 1 1 and mate 

 him to the best female in group No. 12. This will produce 

 group No. 13 which is the two equal parts of the blood of male 

 C and the two equal parts of the blood of hen A and the two 

 equal parts of the blood of hen B. We now take the best male 

 from group No. 12 and mate him to the best female of group 

 No. II. This will produce group No. 14, which is the two 

 equal parts of the blood of male C and the two equal parts of 

 the blood of hen A and the two equal parts of the blood of 

 hen B. This ends the sixth year's breeding. 



I have now shown you how you can buy three birds from dif- 

 ferent parts of the world and mate them for six years to pro- 

 duce a flock of birds that has an equal amount of the blood of 

 each of the original three birds. 



By using this method of mating, the chickens will gain in size 

 and bone each year. This system can be used for a lifetime 

 without ever introducing new blood. There are a dozen dif- 

 ferent ways one can follow the chart and get almost as good 

 results, but the one I have just described will produce stock 

 which will defeat the best birds that the world can produce.
