clean legs than did the darker cross.
From both crosses there were a good
number of birds with rose comb and
clean legs. This, with the Light
Brahma markings, make a Colum-
bian Wyandotte. You will see from
this that the Columbian Wyardotte
is really made in two seasons with
three crosses-no great skill requir-
ed, either, to make this and people
will think you are scientific breed
er and maybe somebody will ll'publish
your picture in a poultry journal.
If the third or the White Wl%lndotte
hen cross had been left off It is pos
sible you would not have been bored
with this article, for there would
have been more crosses producing
dark birds, but the light birds pro-
duced by this cross was what l need
ed to tone down the dark that was
so pronounced in the other cross,
and the making or the perfecting of
the breed took several years of mat
ings of different types, using most
ly single matings and in-breeding
whenever possible, every detail hav-
ing to be given consideration, shape
and egg production being especially
considered as shape makes the breed
and egg production makes the hen.
In my next article l will give a de-
tailed description of the Columbian
Wyandotte as they are today, and
try to remove some wrong ideas as
to the mating Of this breed for the
best results.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1907-06-25

lieve that some of the breeders, ac-
cording to their statements, and the
opinion they have of their ability,
could by crossing Indian Runner
Ducks on Bronze Turkeys produce a
mocking-bird.
Twill take up the crosses as fol-
lowed by me in the production of the
Columbian Wyandctte. While do
not claim to be the first to produce
this breed, l had started my work
long before had ever seen a Colum-
bian Wyandotte and believe that /
have the best color lines yet estab-
lished. After selecting from my
own yards six two-year-old Light
Brahma hens that were in shape and
color what | wanted, l procured
from friend in this city a White
Wyandotte cock, he being what |
wanted in shape. You will see from
this that this strain was started here
in the city of Nashville, Tenn. and l
challenge any Columbian breeder in
the country to show that he has fur
nished one drop of blood in the pro-
duction of this strain. 1t is truly a
Southern strain, a Tennessee strain,
a Nashville strain, whether it is as
good as the best, the show rooms of
the next eighteen months will tell.
After months Of study / decided
that Light Brahma hen with solid
black fights, a hackle intensely
black, with broad white edging, a
very broad and short tail, with the
narrowest possible edging to coverts,
and clean back was what l wanted
for this cross, and selected six from
my flock of Light Brahmas as near
to this ideal as possible. Now why
this broad lacing in hackle while in
tail coverts narrow as possible? Be
cause years of experience in breed
ing Light Brahmas has shown me a
very dark hackle has a tendency to
black running into the white lacing
of the hackle, often reaching to the
edge of the feathers, while in the
tail feathers the hardest problem is

What more could man ask?
This the very latest breed admit
ted to the Standard of Perfection
and generally conceded by breeders
to be the equal of any old breed we
have, possessing many good points
lacking in other breeds. There being
already demand for it that justifies
the belief that it will have the great
est run ever experienced in the his
tory of the fancy. The public are
generally on the lookout for some
thing new, especially is this true in
the chicken world, and in offering
the Columbian Wyandotte we have
not only given the new thing but
something that has behind it the
blood of the oldest and best breed
on earth, which has been the direct
means of this production which is
much superior to any offered the
chicken world for years. The Colum-
bian Wyandotte is here to stay The
markings of the Light Brahma, the
plump carcass and early maturity of
the Wyandotte, you have what is
sure to win.
In offering a production like this
to the public there should be clean
and clear statement, as to the cross
es used in its make, and not an effort
to confuse. In offering to the fan
ciers this article l do not intend that
some of the old breeders who claim
to have produced the Columbian
Wyandotte by crossing on the Barred
Plymouth Rocks and Silver-Laced
Wyandottes have not done so. l be-
