If he prefers to get the eggs in tlie spring all will be well, but he most expect to be ridiculed bY sonic of his neighbors for paying Si or $2 each for fowls. Neverthe- less, these seine farmers and neigh- bors will promptly come forward witli a request to "change eggs" with him when they desire to hatcbi chicks the next sprieg. If a farmer buys eggs of the pure breeds, he buys stock, the eggs being simply the embryo chicks. A farmer wlio desiree to improve often goes too far sometimes. In- stead of depending on one breed he begins with two or moi•e. Hds inter- est will he sullicieatly strong a year or two to keep the different varieties seperato, but in the course of time lie will undertake to save labor bY turning all the breeds out together. Then the clown grade begins, and in a season or two his fowls will all be croSsbreci, with no uniformity or fixed characteristics. If a farmer deSires to improve let him begin with purebred inalos if he does not wish to purchase a trio or more, but stick to one breed. If he ,ents a male each year lot it be of the, breed lie originally- selected, two or three years lie will have the flocks uniform and they will grow better all(i better eveey season, and at a cost that is almost bisignificant. If neighbors desire to improve, let them co-operate in purchasing pure breeds, and if they refuse, then he should compel them to pay him for Els enterprise, when they call with a setting of eggs from mongrel hens to be exchanged for something bet- ter. A dollar or two invested in pure breeds will make a 'difference in the quality of the stock and the num- ber of eggs laid of more than ten times the cost of the birds purchased, HORSES APPRECIATE LIGHT.
