General-Purpose Chickens 4 Likely Choice for Amateurs

Prepared for NldA Service by ths Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry.

The prospective owner of a. back- yard flock of chickens 1mg ; ma, rouge of breeds and varieties from Vllllliil to choose. Most of them hgvg been developed in response to may. kel- llvefli. llfeieriénces of breeders. and the taste of fanciers. There

so are vmteties of game fluckem. developed and still used in some countries. for fighting. A few other varieties, including bantams, are kept for ornamental purpose or as pets.

The breeds raised for utility pur- pose fall into 3 main groups; Light, general-purpose and heavy. Each Brollp comprises several breeds and varieties The most common light breed is the Leghorn, excellent as n‘ 183ml. but not so desirdable as a producer of meat. except for small. sized bioilers. Leghorn eggs are white. The general-purpose breeds include the Plymouth Rock, Rhoda Island 30d- Wyandotte. and New Hampshire. ‘There are scvergi vane. ties of some of these breeds and "my “l1 lily brown or tinted eggs Strains 0i’ these breeds that are bred for high egg production lay wei and also make good taiblo flvblltryv Typical heavy breed; are the JPYMW’ Black Giant and Bra- hms. Mature specimens of the heavy broods sometimes weight lo to 12 POEMS. thug providing about as much meat as a. small turkey.

CONSIDER TEMPERAMENT

The back-Yard poultry owner will do well to pick the breed and variety lie likes best because that l; the kind he is likely to give the best care. Chickens of white and other light plumage are preferred by some poultrymcn because the pin fea- thers of such _bird_q are incon- spicuous. But this characteristic ls offset by the tendency of light-cop orccl birds to get dirty and appear unattractive under average city conditions.

The temperament of birds as well as their size and color merit; con. sidcration. In back yards and well- dcveloped suburban areas fowl of quiet disposition. such as the gen- QPBl-DIIFDOSE and heavy breeds. are less likely to annoy neighbor; than the Smaller. more active ones. 0n the other hand, active. nervous birds of Leghorn type are easier to keep in laying condition and are broody lea; often than the larger birds.

NO BREED PERFECT

Icghorns weighing up to 2 unds make dosh-doe broilers. an good laying strains are readily available. The general-purpose birds usually are perfcrablc for both meat and eggs. The young stock of these breeds are good broilers and fryers. Also. when they mature. reaching a weight of 5 pounds or more. they make excellent. roastliii! chickens Even after the hens of these breeds have laid many eggs and have passed 2 years oi’ age, they are d eating if properly cooked. Old irds, how- gvgr, are inclined to get overfat if fed liberally and some strains are inclined to go broody frequently.

From the foregoing comments i0 is ap rent that no one breed or varle has all the good points. and that each has certain merits,

And so the little excitement oase- ed. Alfred snt up straight again and passed his hand over his hair. Yea. he was all right again. bill» hi5 senses and his brain were alert. Y8!- thrlt was tho word alert. He was gsilig to look out: Mr. Wynter had told him to Wliell ho felt like that. He staied round the table. There they all sat like dummies. only outing and talking. They didnt know what he did.

“A chance in for lunch." It was the hull porter. Ted. at the kitchen door. “Come in a car he has: e. regular posh car, book slippery now. Horace." a

"Blast his eyes." The head waiter got up with a groan. "Keep my Dild- ling hot for me. Polly," and the limid waiter went out.

"I'll go too." said Alfred. Breath- less with excitement, he rushed up into the empty hall where one man stood by the office window. A fair- haired man; hair turning gray, Two suitcases on the ground beside him.

"Thanks verv much." The man spoke pleasantly as Alfred picked them up. “Like to eam half a crown, my man " So he had 00MB to sta in Battle Point; he and Miss Mlflflfi were mixed up: he had known it all along.

"Number fifteen, Alfred." Miss Peel, in the office was trim and competent.

“This way, sir." Number fifteen was on the first floor and was a corner room. One window faced the sea and the other Pole Star House. It was n double room which showed that the gentleman had money to throw about. Spies always had, thought Alfred calmly.

“l-Imn, quite zi nice room." Rrifils Leiter was staring about him. But he yvalted until Alfred had gone t0 walk to the window. Yes, his luck was inztwo windows both facing the way he wanted them to. With his glass he could watch the fellow who was trespassing on his preserves. And alter lunch he could ring her up, Gosh! Ho would give something to be able to see her face when she heard his voice! Well, well, well. Fergus Lciter strolled about his bedroom whistllni: until he sud- dcnly remembered that he had not yer had lunch for which he was comfortably ready and descended to the dining i'0om to find the head wnlter there wuitln for him.

While Alfred. tea ng off his white coat. began to wash. Piles of dishes. mountains of them. Never had there been so many . . . but when they thrust into the rocks he would be free for an hour. He ‘worked feverishly. and at last they were done. Alfred's heart was singing. At last! somebody to be shoved aside and treated like dirt. He was somebody to be reckoned with. Mr. Wvnter had said s0. and Mr. Wynter new what ho was talking about. Together ihrv were going to do marvelous things. Together they were ireing to defeat Hitler-that dirtv gangster "I'm somebody now." Duckint! his fiend because the wind was sending the rnin into his face in urea spin-ts, Alfred shouted the words aloud. He arrived at Pole Btar House disheveled and out of breath.

"what do you want to see him for?" In response to Alfred's re- quest Grace was uncoinpronioain .

"Trulv it's important. mum. Sinndlnv (in the mat just inside the door, Alfred's voice was anxious. And John on the stairs heard it and stood there looking ever the bnnisters.

"Hallo. Alfred!" John xdlfliOd and cam:- down. He strand ri the hall and smiled at Oracle's grim face.

"Docs he want to see me. Grace!"

"Yes. all‘. hilt he.'~ not fit to come in." said Grace crossly.

ADDRESS Lu, goo stjsimo MacDonald. R- A

. C. . F. Dear Frlendz-For the people o! Ronnie's Road and vicinity. this is another occasion when we Bother together to say farewell and God speed to another of our young men who has heard and answer“! We call to take up arms in defence of his country and the God elven principles of freedom and justice. We have come here this evening with sentiments mingled with pride and sadness. With prldv. because o! the fact that in you we behold a young man possessed of the virtues of patriotism and fortitude. - Pat- riotism, a natural virtue, which is characterized bv the love foi- and devotion to ones country. B-tid for- titude, a moral virtue which inclines a man to face all grave dangers and even death itself. There ls a feelinl o in our hearts too. be-

is ilways difficult bo eaves and for those who are left aehind and on an occasion such as his. the parting is felt more acute- y, because of the knowledge that your departure from us is not quest of peaceful pursuits, but to enter into a conflict with an enem who is both owerful and wicke . But even if th parting brings with it a tin e of sadness. we are cheer- ed by e fact that cowardice has no part in the make up of our Canadian lads, and we feel certain that our young soldiers, sailors and airmen o to-day will, before this mighty conflict is over bring honor an glory to themselves and their country. We would like you to know. dear friend that we have a, great admir- ation for the boys in the airforce blue. Theirs is a lofty and noble callln as their motto "Per aidua ad as ra" would suggest. May their aspiration be as loftv lls the heav- ens through which they fly. May their hearts be as strong and pure as the great silvery wings the Joianes that soar above the .1011 s. May their ioftiest aim be to ree the atmosphere and the earth beneath from the deadly poison of "iatred and enmity and to restore to this world the spirit of brotherly love and happiness. In conclusion, dear friend, please accept this little gift as a. mark of our esteem and a preclation for you and rest assure that our pray- ers and good wishes will follow you wherever fate may call you. May we cherish the hope that when this war is over and right has once me prevailed over might, we may wei- come you once more into our midst under the happiest auspices. Your friends of Ronnie's Road and Vicinity. 3-i5-1l.
