PLYMOUTH" BOCKS. f
All who have bred Plymouth Rocks
are aware, and they who have not and j
intend to should take heed, that the Ply-1
mouth Rock cock is naturally lighter
than the liens ; and, says the Scientific I
Poultryman, it is the custom of breeders
of show birds to mate light cocks with j
dark pullets and use extra dark cocks to
get dark cocks and extra light ones tot
get light hens that is, hens to mate the f
cock thus making up a pen that wills
look very nice on exhibition ; but, if yon 5
Dreed the pen, the result will be dark t
Eullets, and the next season you will be j
vrther away from the desired result than
before, and you will be compelled tot
mate them with a very light cock to get
the pullets lighter. It is as natural tor
the Plymouth Rock cock to be lighters
than the hens as for the Brown Leghorn r
cock to be darker than the hens ; and, ilt
we want to breed to a uniform color, the '
only way is to select medium light hensi
bluish gray, barred with dark or blue,?
the bars being distinct, the cock being a
little lighter than the hens, mating each
vear the same way. If breeders will fol-i
low this rule, thev will find that the Plv-'
mouth Rock will breed truer and will 6e;
able to breed show birds ; otherwise wej.
must have two separate matings, one for I
cocks and one for pullets, which is noti
always convenient for parties who csn:'
only keep one yard. It is too much liket
a iirsi cross on iwo varieties ; some 01
them look very nice, but the next breed- f
ing is away on.
HABIT IN COWS.
Even' man who handles cows should
remember that they are creatures of
habit. Habit made them, and habit t
alone will continue them in the line ofi
their good work. To make use of this f
knowledge we should always and on all i
occasions treat the cow as nearly as pos- f
sible in the same way. She is fond of I
ner noine lile and its monotonous rou
tine, and any deviation from that tread
mill method greatly disturbs her equa
nimity, and that disturbance acts imme
diately on her milk-giving organs greatly
to tlie loss of the man who owns her.
We have not found that she even likes a
change of food, except from dry to grass,
and that upsets the milk yield'for a few
days. She muBt have the same stall and
the same companions; she must be
milked by the same man. If vou hare
got into the practice, which some men
condemn, of feeding her while vou milk,
then keen it np, for it has become 1
habit with her, and without it she will
be restless and inclined to hold up her
milk.
SELECTING A GOOD BROOD BOW.
A brood sow should be long, of great
depth, broad in fonhnor1 nnS nnt ii
closely coupled over the loin. Select her
aiter tne pigs are weaned, so that she
will have taken on natural form She
should be retained as brood sow until
or 5 years of age if she has proved good.
The constitution of many animals h
been ruined by breeding from young or
immature parents. A good sow will give
thirty pounds of milk in twentv-foor
hours. It has been tested and is known
tO be a fact. If a litter nl r,;,ra nnnld
make a growth of four or five pounds in
twenty-four hours, it stands to reason
that, if seven pounds of milk will makf
one pound 01 growth in a voting pigot
the age of one week, a sow must neces-
sanly give at least thirtv pounds of milk
in twenty-four hours. ."Mistreatment ot
a brood sow should never be allowed:
gentle treatment of sows in herds shouU
iways be exacted.
