Deciding on the Best Breed 



You can secure these two admirable qualities either by a very care- 

 ful selection of the right breed, or by a process of elimination on your 

 own plant. Although it costs more to begin with, to purchase the right 

 breed, I am convinced that considerable time is saved. You secure <x 

 flying start at once. 



You may decide to start with several breeds, as I did. I kept four 

 the first year, and at the end of the first year I found I had three 

 breeds too many, and decided to keep just one. It did not take me long 

 to decide on the breed to keep. The first year I found it very profitable 

 to be getting a good yield of eggs during the cold winter months, when 

 eggs were high and when my neighbors were not getting any. In 

 cutting down the number of breeds I kept the breed that produced eggs, 

 abundantly during the winter months. This is one of the secrets of the 

 business — to get a breed that will produce eggs practically all the year 

 round, and especially when the price of eggs is high. You will find 

 there is a tremendous demand for chickens of this kind, and if you have 

 them your neighbor wants them and is willing to pay vou a good price 

 for a setting of eggs or for a pen of birds.
