Raising Pure Fowls
BY J. C. CLIPP.
• It Is an impossibility to raise pure bred
fowls, or stock of any kind where cross
ing in the least is tolerated. Why do
some people still entertain the idea of
cross-breeding, when pure-bred fowls
can Just as easily be mated? There Is
no question but what pure-bred fowls
are Just as easily produced. I would
advise the purchase if pure-bred stock.
In every Instance the breeding pure-bred
stock of the strongest blood lines possible
to obtain.
Select any variety that suits your
fancy and Btick to It. One variey is Just
as good as another in a measure. Some
varieties of course have some superior
points over others. Therefore consider
well your purpose. If It is turkeys you
wish to breed, then consider well your
location and market conditions. If you
are located in a thickly settled commu
nity where range is limited, I would se
lect the White Holland, or Huff turkeys.
If your are on a large farm and can pro
vide unlimited rang*, and your market
facilities are as good as the best then 1
would select the pure bred Bronze turkey
as they grow larger, bring good prices, i and cents
l»oth as fancy antf-market turkeys, and Farmer.
are largely self-supporting. If you wish •
raise turkeys merely for pleasure and
pastime, and the money Is a secondary
matter then select Just whatever your
fancy demands. It is always a mistake
to mix breeds of any kind. I have fre
quently heard the argument that tHe ad
vantage of crossing breeds was thnt you
can transmit all the good qualities of
each variety Into one breed, but tin*
truth of the matter is that nine times
out of ten there are but very few real
top-notchers, compared to the number of
inferior specimens thus produced. This
being the fact what could you expect In
the practice of crossing Bronze turkeys
with White turkeys? It will be found
most profitable to breed every kind in
its purity. The best is none too good.
Keep in line with th© laws of nature,
and you will accomplish far more In the
end. I would prefer to buy a pure-bred
tom or trio or pen now rather than de
lay until spring as you are more certain
to get better stock now and cheaper. At
any even select your breeding stock early
and select only the best blood possible.
The advantages to be gained In the fu
ture by buying the best is almost In
comprehensible, yet it is a fact thnt the
profits are far greater than the majority
of farmers seem to realize. The greatest
mistake is In trying to see how little
they can produce n bird or pen of pure
breeds for. It Is wisdom to be economi
cal but I prefer to soo how good and in
dividual I can get regardless of dollars
It pays In the end.—Inland
Poultry and Mortgages
Is there a mortgage on the farm
home, or an unpaid balance due, and
a considerable sum of Interest to pay?
Perhaps there is, for only too often,
it is so, and, if there really is, it can
not be figured out to settlement. No,
it must be worked out to a finish.
If there is trouble over it, worry
and anxiety, the best thing to do right
now, is to think it calmly over today,
and take a good, iong. quiet rest in
bed tonight, and then get up in the
morning, and go to work. The mind
will be refreshed and stronger then,
and better plans can be laid, than is
possible while one is full of trouble.
The. thing to do.is to avail one's
self of everytning in sight that may
be utilized, not to larger and more
concrete things only; but the little

We would have more poultry, and
bettor poultry on every farm In Dixie.
We would multiply flocks and dlvido
them, and subdivide them on the
farm so as to make them more profit
able. We would have some colony
houses, and roughly built, hut cheap
and reflective fencing on the shady
hillsides, and In the nearby wood
lands, and over and about the waste
places on the farm; and we would
erow chickens and produce eggs
Down In the lowlands, in the creek
bottom lands, the marshes and the
swampy places, we would have ducks
and geese, and in ibis way get a reve
nue where there is now nothitfc nut
non-production. In the more open
woodlands and the meadows we would
range turkeys and guineas, and we I
would try to make the farm pay all
over, not just in spots, nnd thero
only by the very hardest kind of la
bor.
And then when the payment on the
homo should come, ns come it surely
will some day, whe It hangs over our
heads, when it should come, wo
would make one final grand sale of
ail the fowls we could possibly spare
and put the proceeds to the good for
the settlement of the debt.
This is one way in which we may
work our way out. We can make
the poultry on the place help us, and
help us largely, and we should do so.
We would try to interest the boys
and the girls In this work by making
them full partners and giving them a
fair share of the revenues. Wo would
weeff^out all the mongrel male birds
an A put In new cock birds of high-
class breeding and make the poultry
on the place a thing to be talked
about and admired. And then we
would bend our energies to a suc
cessful finish nnd do our level best to
round up the season with a big flock
of each kind of fowls on the farm,
and a good-Blzed cash account repre
senting the stock and eggs marketed
during the season.
What better time Is there for one
to adopt a resolution of this kind, and
get to work on it right now, at the
