Patterns sent by Poultry Breeding. There are two main points to be considered: First, the selection of birds that have the characters desir- ed; and secondly, a further selection from these of birds that can produce offspring as good as or better than themselves, Many are of the opinion that "like begets like." In general, this is true, but it is true for general and not for particular qualities. It is true that a male White Leghorn mated to White Leghorn females will breed chickens that are White Leghorns, or that have white 'plumage, yellow legs, and white earlobes. But of these offspring there will be no two chicks exactly alike. We | find large and small Leghorns; most | of them never go broody but some do; some lay eggs that are large, others small eggs. And we find a great variation in the number of eggs pro- duced by different hens. Selection is made on the basis that like will produce like, but experience has taught all breaders that to secure uniform superiority, they must carry on the selection through generations of poultry. If we select birds that have laid better than 200 eggs in twelve consecutive months and mate these to a male, of similar strain, we do not expect to get all daughters that ~twill-lay 200-eggs-or more a year; but we do expect upon the average a bet- ter production than had no selection been made. See Bulletin 292 Ontario Agricultural College for 0.A.C. Poul- try Department's results of Breeding for Egg Production. cmb How I Use Old Batteries.

The best place to learn to use tools quite a mechanic couldn't have run his farm without anvil, tongs, hammers and all the other tools necessary around a forge.

You will learn how to make chisels, staples, hooks, bolts, wagon parts, knives, cultivator shovels, and many of the other tools needed on farms. Last August I saw a pair of boys haul two old flivvers back to their house, I wondered what they were going to do with these wrecks and asked them about it.
