Imjkrupdtt Mixed Fowl*: ?A Jajftogc having a mixed or .mongrel* fleck of fowls can add greatly to their value and gradu ally - change them to a uniform breed tbat will better fulfill his requirements-/ at comparatively small Cost, by purchasing each year a few vigorous male birds of some regulable breeder. Ttjeso male 'birds should be selected of the same variety of fowls most 'numerous in the (lock, if these ' fowls are giving satisfactory returns. Where Plymouth Rocks are numerous Plymouth Rocks cockerels should be chosen, -or else the male birds can be selected-, for some de sired result as to; the weight or laying qualities of their descen dants. By purchasing Light Brahma cockerels it will be fouud that the young stock will Sveigh up much heavier the suc ceeding year, while by purchas ing Leghorn or Wyandotte cocke rels a gaiu may be made in the egg yield. During the year the poorest behs can be weeded out and either used for the table or sold for market and the best ones kept to breed from for the en suing year. By following the above plan new blood is iutro kuci'd into the flock, the fowls .do no& deteriorate in weight or laying qualities as would likely be the case if left to themselves, and gradually they will become uniform in coloring and mark ings and a fine flock of fowls secured. ?
