The Black Java.

The Black Java, classified among the
American breeds, is fowl whose origin
is involved in obscurity. For want of
sufficient historical facts, there has been
an attempt to produce myth to account
for it's origin. According to this myth,
many years ago in the state of Missouri
it is also told of other states-there
lived wealthy gentleman who had a
rem arkably fine breed Of black fowls.
His neighbors desired to possess some of
the fowls of this breed, but the gentle
man would sell neither fowls for breed
ing nor eggs for Matching. Friendship
or money would not tempt him to part
with any of this stock. Finally some
person, whose name is concealed, pre-
vailed upon the gentleman's coachlnan
to sell to him three eggs from these
fowls. These eggs were set, Matched
three chickens, all the chickens lived
and developed into two fine pullets and a
cockerel, and from this trio the modern
Black Java sprang. This fiction-even
if it were fact-really explains nothing.
We are none the wiser concerning the
origin of the fowls, for they could not
have sprung spontaneously, even from
the rich soil of Missouri.
The statement of some of the most
famous poultry experts of the times
proves that there existed, more than 40
years ago, fowls called Java s and having
not few of the characteristics of the
modern fowl of that name. They were
of such size, or very nearly such, as the

The Feeding of Oyster Shells.

During the laying season, when they
can be obtained, oyster shells are recon-
mended by the New York state expert
ment station. One pound will contain
lime enough for the shells of about 7
dozen eggs. Fine gravel containing
limestone will probably as well supply
the deficiency of lime existing in most
fowls, but the use of some sharper grit
with it may be of advantage. Long or
sharp splinters of glass or dry bone
should be avoided. The size of particles
of grit for hens had better be larger than
that of kernel of wheat and should be
smaller than a kernel of corn. A SUP
ply of pounded glass or crockery has
been attended with no bad result when
the food and other grit available to the
fowls contained an abundance of lime,
but when the food was deficient in lime
and no other grit was attainable, hens
ate an iniuriously large amount of glass.

combs, and black plumage. In some
respects they differed from the modern
fowl, but this may be ascribed to either
of two cause.-the description is mac
curate, or the fowl has been modified in
it's years of breeding since the early
date. The latter is doubtless true, for
fowls possess plastic nature, and are
readily nodded by the hand of man.
Alongside of these clean-limbed Javas
existed an Asiatic fowl, also called Java,
having feathered shanks. This fowl
was one of the ancestors of the Plymouth
Rock and, after the admission of the
Black Cochin to the Standard, was alb
sorbed by the latter breed.
Such are the historical, or quasi-hls-
torical facts concerning the origin OF
this fowl. They are not altogether sat-
isfactory, and leave still doubt in the
mind But there is one fact in the
breei ding of the fowl that indicates per-
haps an oriental origin. The young
Java shows decidedly gamy character
istics. A flock of pure. bred Java cock
erels, when four to six months of age, if
dubbed, could hardly be told from flock
of Game stays. There is a reach. a car
riage, a movement that bespeaks the
Game. And it is not the English Game
entire, but those eastern fowls of which
the Malay and the Indian Game are rep
resentatives. This fact is more convinc-
ing to my mind of an eastern origin Of
the Java than all that can be drawn
from the references to it in literature.
1t really may have come from Java, but
if not it is probably allied to the Malay,
the Indian Game, and other oriental
fowls. Of course with age these pecu-
liarities become less noticeable. The
fowl settles down into solid, heavy
built bird. But age cannot wholly OBJ
literate these characteristics. There
has been, however, a tendency-which
ought to be stamped out of existence
for Judges, especially admirers of the
Plymouth Rock, to give very high scores
to so-called Javas that are IN figure
nothing but Black Plymouth Rocks
This tendency has obscured the real type
In the minds of many breeders, and
flocks of Javas often nowadays lack the
typical figure and characteristics Of the
fowl. 1t is high time that breeders of
the Java united and demanded return
to the true Java type. Unless this is
done there is danger that Javas and
Plymouth Rocks will become inextri-
cably confused, and that the one will
destroy the other. A logical outcome of
such confusion would be to eliminate
the Java class altogether and have a
Plymouth Rock class which included,
in addition to its present colors, the
colors of the Javas. We should then
have Barred, White, Buff, Black, and
Notified Plymouth Rocks. This would
be the destruction of one of the most in
teresting types we have among domestic
poultry interests.
The Java is really large fowl. The
standard weights are half pound more
for cock, cockerel, and hen, than those
of the Plymouth Rock, while the weights
tor pullets are the same. This gives ten
pounds for the cock, and good adult
cocks will frequently exceed that weight.
