This division is like Jsat of cattle into beef and dairy |. :ypes, and of horses into light and I a?avy classes. In the egg breeds of poultry the1 j primary requirement is the produc- ^ A>n of a great number of eggs of r >T-rl oi7a The fnu-k are not PX. * pected to be prime table specimens, j aat they must lay throughout the a year, except when they have to rest c . and recuperate. They do not sit and f stAeh chickens and they lay whiter -shelled eggs. The more popular egg j. -j/tied-s are Leghorns, Minorcas, An- j ^onas and Campines. The most popu- j 1 ar variety of these breeds is the Sin- 1 ( ,jle Tomb White Leghorn. j ' ATi large egg farms are stocked e - vith White Leghorn pullets and liens, j { because it is possible to obtain !{ ' breeding stock in this variety that las blood lines of heavy egg produc-Jen behind it. Pullets from a heavylaying strain are better layers than Juliets of no special breeding. T I * EGG TYPE ? XUtf WHITE EGG*. HCtf-glTTERjt 'i i } ?

This distance should be as wide is four fingers when the hen is layng. When the hen has this depth and s also wide across her rear it proves hat she has an abundance of room to nanufacture eggs constantly and parlcularly the egg shells, which are 'ormed in this part of her body. Such i hen will lay well when properly :ared for. Hens with a small distance between he pelvic bones and rear of breasttone and tight or unyielding rear body ire not good layers. Put bands on the egs of your layers and note how many :onsecutive days they lay without esting. That will show how long .anil Vian nan maintain her eee flow in dthe better layers are those which :an continue laying for longer periods. GENERAL PURPOSE TYPE. LAY# BROMTEGCt. MiD HXXBZS CHlCK$. '* ^ I I The general purpose breeds have been selected primarily for the proiuction of table poultry. They are aiso good layers of brown-shelled eggs. They hatch their chicks and are the most satisfactory for those who want une flock of purebred chickens for both meat and egg purposes. The rnois popular of the general purpose breeds are Plymouth Rocks. Rhode Island Reds. Wyandottes and Orpingtons The most popular variety is the Barred Plymouth Rock. This is recognized as the best chicken for market as it is large and well-meated and fattens profitably when confined In crates. f'KA.v IN. u. nanrj, Extension Poultiy Husbandman, Clemson Agricultural College. .

It is a fearful thought that we, as it were, exhale ourselves every breath we draw. A man's moral being is concentrated in every second of his life: It lives in the tips of his fingers and the spring of his instep. A very little thing tries what a man is made of.?
