The Coming Combless Fowl.


American Poultry Journal, Mr..
HI. S. Babcock gives the origin
and history of a new variety OF
fowls, which he calls the Notified
Aztecs.
Among the merits of this new
breed, as pointed out by Mr..
Babcock, els one which merits
special notice, and that one is
that the Notified Aztec is a chick
en- with almost no comb"
am not seeking a controversy
with the breeders of Leghorns,
Minorcas, Langshans and OF
other varieties that have large
combs, but am coming to the
point of saying that large combs
are ornamental but of but little
use. To the man or woman who
says, "Oh, but the Standard saws
so and So, my reply is that the
Standard was made for the chick
ems and not the chickens for the
Standard; and if a com bless
chicken would be an improve
ment on the chickens as we have
them, then let the head-gear Ego.
But there is an objection which
l have not been able to get over,
and that is the fact that good
layers almost invariably have
Barge combs. True enough the
CONT BIS may be reduced, as in the
rose comb varieties, without inn
pairing the laying qualities: but
even in these there is a disp0si-
ticn to put up" comb when the
hen is laying, and the question
comes back again, Is it wise to
try to do away with the comb?
1t seems hardly necessary to
say that the objection to a large
comb is that it is liable to freeze.
From the standpoint of utility
it seems that about the best
combs are found among the Wy
andottes, and it happens that the
WyandOttes rank high for eggs,
especially as winter layers. Con-
ceding then that laying qualities
and large combs originally went
together, we may still assume
that combs may be bred down
while laying qualities are bred
up.
But to return to Mr.. Babcock
and the Notified Aztecs: While
the Black AzteCs were known
some years before, it appears
that this variety was first bred
in 1896, but we are not told by
what cross it was produced.
Like the Wyandotte and the
Plymouth Rock, it seems to be a
bination breed.
OF the Notified Aztec comb
if you have a hobby it is we'll to
ride it all the time, provided you
don't kick up too much dust in
your neighbours eyes-of the
comb Mr.. Babcock says:
1.-The Notified Aztec is almost
a com bless fowl. The females,
when not laying, show a bare
strip where the comb should be,
but when laying this increases
slightly so that the hens are not
quite bless, but have a faint
apology for a comb. The young
males look as if they had their
combs cut off clearly close to the
head, but with age, and when
fully furnished, show a small
comb of the rose type but lack
ing the corrugations upon the
upper surface of the spike which
is associated with such a comb.
If we are ever to have an abso-
lutely combless breed, other than
a crested one, the Aztec is likely
to be the source from which it
will spring. In time, by careful

Until the knockout, Jordan was far

were truer to the mark and won him
the battle. The little Englishman made
a game fight, but only upheld his stand
ing as a boxer, and proved that he
could not stay the limit with a clever
and hard hitter. Santry made the
fight of his life, and proved one of the
greatest surprises of the season. He
fought cool, steady fight, and showed
