short popularity of so many new
creations shows clearly a lack ol

E We take the Rose tombined
Aznsrican Dominique as ! good sx-
ample Of old-fashioned fowls, we can
sec at once how real meris has been
temporarily lost sight OF. As long
ago as 1873 we tested the merits OF
this old American breed. They
were found valuable fowls then, and
are none the less today. yet very
few people bred them at that time,
and perhaps fewer today. Strange
as IL may seem, the wonderful DO
pularity OF the Barred Plymouth
Rocks seems 70 overshadow the
most important parent bird. In.
stead of the Rocks usefulness an
pealing to people as q mute remin
der OF what The Dominique really is,
they SO overshadowed them that the
latter have become almost unknown.
But American Dominiques are a
useful breed and worthy OF much
greater popularity than they now
have. II many of the new breeds
were relegated to the distant back
ground and the Dominiques were
again brought to the front, more
eggs would be got, more and finer
chicks raised, and more profit reali.

In some experiments / found
Domiuiques the lightest feeders of
the various breeds kept. In laying
they readily takea high place. Leg
horns, HanIburgs and Spanish fowls
will lay more eggs In summer, but
as winter layers Dominiques readily
excel them. Ours, kept iu small
yards, showed no serious evil effects
from confinement. On one occasion
six full-grown birds were confined
in yard containing less than one
rod Of ground. They laid we'll,
looked well. and actually proved
much superior in many respects toa
