LAWS GOVERNING THE BREEDING 
whatsoever that would cause increased egg produc- 
tion during the breeding season. In confinement, 
feed abundance of green food and then some and 
no feed but hard grains. Excessive egg produc- 
ing foods make weak eggs; therefore poor hatch- 
ibility and weak chicks. Egg factories should, 
never be the breeding pens. The appalling death 
rate among little chicks of all breeds at the 
present time in poultry history is but the result of 
long years of careless confinement, ignorance in 
feeding and blind breeding operations. 
To the careless breeder, this book is as somuch 
waste paper. The painstaking seeker after the 
truth never becomes too wise nor too old to learn. 
Theories are visions, facts are concrete. Stamina 
is the first and main law from the beginning to 
the end. Judicious in and line breeding will ac- 
complish results worth while. Above all keep 
bright the thought that those methods which 
made success must be persevered in to keep success. 
THE END. 
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The double-mating system being a law unto 
itself and not in harmony with the natural laws governing the breed- 
ing of standard fowls, no mention is herein made of the laws or rules 
governing double-mating.
