To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A first-cross on the other hand is a cross between two pure breeds, and is usually for the better. To improve the number and quahty of the eggs a first- cross will sometimes be recommended. For my own part I am a great beUever in first-crosses and think the White Leghorn — White Wyandotte admirable as layers. In mating up the first- crosses it is advisable to select the male from the white-egg breed and the female from the brown or tinted-egg variety, relying upon the hens to preserve the colou...r of the egg. When it is necessary to mate again, use the males of the two breeds in alternate years, first a White Dotte male then a White Leghorn male, or vice versa, and so on. NON-SITTERS versus SITTERS. Now as regards non-sitters versus sitters there can be little doubt that the egg specialist will do well if he stocks breeds of both. There are non-sitting breeds that not only perform their summer duties, but are not afraid of winter work. I know of no non- sitter to beat the Black Leghorn in this respect.
