There are no handsomer iowls 70
be found, and while those Of othss
breeds give great trouble and aaaoy-
ance by getting into your neighbour
gardens, the Orpington will stay
constantly on his side of the fsnce,
scratching industriously the while
In fact he minds his own business.
The Orpington will thrive and
retain his good looks and fine ap-
pearance on the town or city half
acre--never appear dirty or soiled,
but always clean, active and hand
some--a source of pleasure and profit
to his owners.
Whether YOU want fowls for their
eggs, for table purposes or for the
show room you can make no mistake
IN choosing the Orpington. In Eng
lane they have already become and
in America are very fast becoming
the acknowledged best all-purpose
fowl
As layers they are now the cham
pIons--see former articles. They
dress well for market, with firm
white flesh. Their eggs are uniform
! in weight and fertility. They make
excellent capons. This breed mer-
its consideration.
