THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN [Saturday, July 4, 1908. In liis paper in Nature, ProfesSor James Wilson of Dublin, gives il»- fol- lowing statements and results of an rx- examination of records as to color in Shorthorns, in illustration of the applica- tion of Mendel's law of inherit 1. Bed crossed by red should give rcl calves. 2. White crossed by white should give white calves. :;. Red crossed by whin- should give roans. 4. Kuans in-bred should give reds, white ami roans in the proportion I. 1, 2. 5. Roans crossed by reds should give roans and reds in equal proportions. 6. Roans crossed by white should give roans and whites in equal proportion. This, giving heed to the expected ex- ceptions indicated above, is what we find, viz: Four hundred and thirty-eight reds crossed by red give 413 red, 25 roan. Three whites crossed by whites give three whites. Seventy-one reds crossed by white give :! red, 68 roan. Five hundred aud fourteen roans crossed by roans give 152 red, 27S roan, 84 white. Four hundred and fifty-six roans crossed by reds give 226 red. 230 roan. Twenty-three roans crossed by whites give 14 roan, 9 white. For the breeder of Shorthorns this means that if he wishes to avoid wdiite calves, he is limited to three crosses, viz: red with red, red with roan, and red with wdiite. He gets whites when wdiites are bred together, when wdiites are bred with roans, or when roans are bred to- gether.âLondon Live Stock Journal. POULTRY NOTES.
