was much like that of the Dorking,
but in recent letter from Mr.. Lewis
Wright, of England, he states that
the proper form is such as we have
illustrated in this paper, and the
long body like that of the Dorking
is discouraged by English experts.
The proper type for the Orpington
is broad and massive body on short
legs. They should have close and not
loose or fluffy plumage. They should
have white skin and of the type
that produces Buff Plymouth Rocks.
Buff Orpingtons and Buff Wyan-
dottes all from the same stock,
should be driven out. If we are to
have Orpingtons in this country they
should be constrained within the
bounds of good Orpington shape and
not allowed to drift along from the
shape of a Dorking to the Cochin
shape, just as they may come.
AS stated above, the proper Or
pington shape is shown by the illus
tration as we present it from the
English artist. Mr.. Ludlow. The fe-
male is shaped something like a Bra
ma without cushion or fluff, the male
something like a low set, full-breast-
ed Cochin with close plumage.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

THE ENGLISH ORpINGTON.
An Excellent Breed of Lnrge, Lows
Set and Heavy Fowls, Very Pop
uIar Across the Water.

The Crpington is an English bred
fowl which is gaining a fair foot
hold in this country. They are bred
in several ccl.1rs with both single
and rose or double combs. So far,
the black and buff-colored Orping-
tons with single combs have been in
favor with the people of this coun-
try. An Orpington club has been
formed in their interest, and we may
expect to see them gain in favor, as
they are quite desirable as table
poultry.
Having come from the union of
Minorca, black sport from Plym-
outh Rocks and Black Langshan
blood, they are rather large, low set
and heavy in body-inclined to be-
come fat when fully fed. They are
good egg producers, but their eggs
are rather smaller than might be
hoped for from the union of such
blood. Formerly the shape. of the
Orpington, as preferred in England.

because the marquis mamma did not

couple eloped and were married in
