NEW SCIENCE TO
GET WINTER EGGS
FEATUREOFSHOW
Careful Breeding of Thorough
bred Winter Layers Secret
of Success, Says Presi
dent Munsen.
Eggs may be as plentiful in the win
ter as in the summer when a newly-
discovered principle of scientific
breeding, u shown in the educational
exhibit of the Omaha poultry show,
is applied by poultry raisers gener
ally.
"This principle is simply to select
eggs for hatching from the best jtvin
ter layers and to continue to,'do thU"
said President Munsen of the show,
"I have 26 hens at my place which
laid 45 dozen eggs last, February. In
other, words each hen' produced near
ly $1 worth of eggs in that; single
month. I, developed those hens from
' five generations of my best winter
layers. Every generation went the
preceding . generation ' one better. I
am still continuing the process. with
no end of: winter egg-laying capacity

Generations Carefully Raised. "
A pen of White Orpington birds il

the poultry show. , There are three

third generation, laid 23 'eggs last

tin the debate following the chan

a peace of aggression and' a peace of

Herr Scheidemann, for. the social
