Excerpt from The Eastern Poultryman, Vol. 6: January, 1905 One cannot expect anything like uniform results from a lot of hens which range all the way from the small, nervous, active, Leghorn type to the large, docile type of the mammoth Cochins and Brahmas. The care and feed that would be proper for one would be altogether inadequate for the requirements of the hens of the other extreme in type. One of them would do well on the same ration, one would be able to gather a large portion of their food on the range in summer, while the larger and less active hens would prae tically starve to death if dependent on hustling for their food on the range along with them. No, there is only one way profitably to grade up a ¿ock of common hens and that is by having some definite plan and object in view and sticking right to it year after year. One should take time to decide fully what breed or variety of pure-bred fowls he wants to grade tip his flock to and every time he purchases a new male get one of the same breed.
