COMMON HEN LAYS MORE EGGS
THAN FANCY PEDIGREED STRAINS
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON. While breach ra of
fancy poultry are engaged; In hair
splitting arguments over the relative
merits of different species of blooded
and pedigreed fouls, Uncle Sam
through his Department of Agriculture
is given the good old-fashioned advice
that if le3s time and money are spoil'
on fancy stock and more attention
given to straight utility, egg laying
hens the high cost of living will cease
to bo so much of a bug-bear. The
Department deplores the fact that the
poultry shows do not give more of ft
place of honor to the common or gar
den variety of egg-laying hen. The
Boston poultry show is practically the
only one in the country which gives
due mead of honor to the utility hen.
That show has a separate class for
there frelndly fouls.
Government experts point out that so
for as return in eggs is concerned the
plainest mongrel hen often lays as
many eggs as those whose lineage is
traced back for decades. The Initial
cost of the common utility hen is less
and the loss in case of death or dis
ability is less; therefore the ordinary
hen Is the best Investment for anybody
except the man who goes into poultry
purely as a pastime.
The department makes it plain, how
ever, that it does not want to dis
courage fancy breeding; it merely
states that too much atentlon should
no*, be given to this class of foul cul
ture.
