Through unofficial sources the inter.
esting fact has been learned here that
Emperor William recently sent Ia I'M,
country a trusted agent to study care
fully and report on the character and
habits Of the American hen. with the
view of introducing into German barn
yards a strain of new blood for the Inn

development has led to the discovery
that the hens Of the fathprland for the
last few years constantly have been
growing derclict In duty In the impor.

a consequence Germany not only Is
threatened with nm egg famine. but
also that the ultimate result IL the

shades as birds. There are the green
bronze, the black bronze, a duh brown
bronze and a yellow bronze. The lat
ter is my preference and what | think
is called for in the standard, although
plenty of judges favor the black bronze
color. The body and back will be dark
er with bronze reflections. The legs
should be pink.
In wings and tail are where the
faults appear Spread the wing and
look for solid black feathers in the
primaries, irregular barring in both
primaries and SecOndarieS and also Il
white edge along the bottom of each
feather in the latter. They are all bad
faults. The tail. which includes tail
coverts, is seldom perfect. In fact,
have never seen one. The black bars
near the end of the tail covcrtS Il
mean the row of feathers lying farthcst
out on tail proper are generally miss
ing, and the two center feathers of
the tail proper always have the white
tip, the black bar and the brown bar
ring more or less mixed. | have no.
ticed the latter popularity in the wild
partridge. spread the tail cOverts
apart and look ut the bottom of the tail
proper. and in Il great many cases you
will find white barring the same as on
the wing. This is another serious
fault. Some breeders are satisfied with
tail which is all spcckled with black
and brown 50 long as it has the black
band near the tip and white tip
Now | am satisfied that a feather reg
ularly barred with brown and black,
with the broad black band and dull
White or gray tip, is the proper color
Fig . is as good in color of tail as |
have seen.
| do not refer to all the shape or col
or sections, but only to those which
are usually faulty or in dispute. The
above will give you my idea of a good
male to head a pen. except on one
point, and that one, in my estimation
is the most important-viz, you should
insist on having line bred bird. If
you use a bird produced from two
strains entirely different in build and
in great many sections in color as
well, what can you expect? My ad-
vice is TO have good male sired by
good males of one line of breeding

with alarm We hay" already seen the
Buff and Partridge Cochins practically

Feathers on the feet and legs of
chickens are Objectionable from a prac,
teal standpoint. They become accumu-
latorS of filth in pens and yards and
present an unSightly appearance upon
the dressed carcass. Neither do they

true we have been accustomed to think
that they are a necessary adjunct to

Having been an admircr of light
BrahWas from hoyhood and thinking
they would bc improved both in utility
aud appearance if they could be pro.
duccd with fcathcrless legs and feet,
hayc been experimenting FOR years
with that object in view. 1t has been
no easy task. My first efforts were
along the line of crossing with clean
legged breeds, hut the results were So
unsatisfactory that soon abandoned
that method. It seems ont Of place to
alloy the blood Of the grand old breed
