the off spring the four characters are breed type bredtolay breeding constitu tion and vigor the male bird should be fairly typi cal of the breed he represents if he does not possess breed type the

birds breed type in the male either sets or scat ters type in the poultry flock that the male should be of the right breeding is of the greatest im portance if high egg production is the desired object there is no surer way to failure than to introduce a male bird of a poor producing line the degree of success met with in the egg production of his daughters depends almost entirely on the amount of high producing ancestors he has had cer tainly his dam should have produced 200 eggs or over in her pullet year and if his granddam has laid 200 eggs or over in her pullet year so muh the better his sire should be the 6on of a high producing female and the more high producing females the male side of his pedigree carries the greater are his chances of passing on that desirable character to his pro geny so important is this one char acter that a good bredtolay strain can be ruined in one season by an inferior male f constitution is very necessary if tho stamina of a high producing flock is to be maintained to improve the laying ability of a flock is wasted time unless the birds have the consti tution to withstand the strain of high production a male of poor consti tution seldom if ever passes on rug ged constitutions to his offspring the tight male bird is one well grown for lits age and that stands straight on his legs he should havo a good full breast good depth of body and above all a good masculino head vigor is also very important for without vigor the hatchings from the matings would necessarily be limited vigor in the male bird will give good
