he fails to state which of the Asiatics.
Another supposition was that they origi-
mated in flock of native fowls belonging
to gardner who, taking great liking to
them, kept them away from his other
fowls and kept improving them as best he
could under such circumstances. However.
be that as il may, the farmers Of France
took hold of them and today they are the
most popular breed in that country.
The Houdans were first imported to the
United States in 1870. and we have yards
of Houdans now that will compare with
anv in the world. Their plumage is made
up of black and white. The large crest
and mutf present a very pretty appearance
on green lawn. They are a fine table
fowl, having fine, close-grained meat and
lots of IT, IL is claimed by some that they
will dress one-tifth more than any other
fowl of the same live weight. The cock
should weigh seven pounds, the cockerel
six pounds. the hen six pounds and the
pullet five pounds. They are also good
egg producers, LAYING the largest eggs of
the non-Setting breeds, and they Law dur
ing the year nearly as many as the Leg
horn The Houdans bear confinement
well, but when given their liberty will for
age and pick up their living equal TO
turkeys Both as fowls and chickens they
are hardy. The chicks feather well and
grow very fast.
In mating these birds George Bacon tells
in Poultry in California" that one should
be very careful. DO not mate all dark and
all light ones together. If a specimen is
too light 10 suit you use il as a test of their
table qualities. The standard requires
that they be about evenly divided in color
II anything the black predomlnatlng, and
as they grow lighter with age one must
take this into consideration when mating
them. \ pullet three-tourths black will mott
- the regulation color. therefore We should
mate one of this color with n male of
standard color ar a little darker; hens of
standard color or a little darker 10 a cock
erel one-fourth white. and so on in this
proportion, as they will get light soon
enough Ali males should have small
combs, well-formed crest and good broad
breast. Be very particular with the feet
and legs. The females should have large
crest Of good color. small comb. large
beard, full breast and good feet and toes.

Their Leading characteristics - Dire
tions for Mating These Birds.

The Houdans were named for the little
town of Houdan in France. 1t is not
certainly known how they originated. l.
X. Felch thinks there is no doubt that
they sprung from a cross of the black Pol
ish and the colored or white Dorking.
They have the fifth toe of the Dorking
and conformation of body between
the two breeds. The posterior weight
in them is very much greater than
in the Polish. This, he says, has
come from an Asiatic source, as indicated
