The more desirable the chnraciu; which the breeder wishes to develop in his flock of poultry, the more particular he must be in the study and selection of‘ the individuals which he uses for breeding purposes. Therefore it is plain that the first essefrtial is the selection cf individuals having the characters wanted and the next step is to test their ability to trans- mit those characters. As an example of the value of good males in trans- mitting the ability to produce a large number of eggs, three males used at the Lcnnoxville Experi- mtnfzil Station inny be taken. Nn.

Another character which is highly important is the size of tho egg produced. In the transmitting (ffithis desirable character to the female progeny. the male may m either a help or a hindrance. An ruirtanding example might be taken from the experience of a con- irsiant who had a pen of birds. en- lercd in the Third Quebec West Laying Contest, which were Produc- ing under-sized eggs throughout the yienr.
