Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-11

England, trying to raise hens for eggs
and fryers, discovered that some of
their flocks were slightly similar in
type and exchanged cockerels, agree
ing to try to preserve the general style
of the hens, at first vaguely; after
ward they agreed to pay special at
tention to egg production and vigor
and give the preference to those hav-
ing plump breasts, and maturing
early. Finally, other things being
equal to favor buff, reddish or
brownish color with more or less
black Rose combs appeared frequent
ly and some of the breeders gave them
a preference, at least in the male
birds, After twenty or thirty years,
some newer breeders wanted to ex-
hibit Reds and to set standard color,
but the older ones said: ''To the show
room with your standard-we are rails
ing business hens" But the Rhode
Island Red club, which had been
formed, became divided and the one
class began to exhibit and agitate.
The older heads held them down till
an enterprising woman, one Mrs. Met
calf from Ohio, made a coup. Her
chickens had been crossed on the
Cornish fowl, had the pea combs of
this breed and carried more black than
was desired by most of those Rhode
Island Red men who wanted the breed
in the Standard. The year that the
American Poultry association met in
Chicago, following the annual show
there, she, her husband and friends de-
scended upon an unprepared ofnclal
poultry world Hundreds of these ''un-
fair Reds were exhibited at that show
under the name of Buckeyes" and
host of the good lady's friends, who
were showing them, remained in the
show room to extol Buckeyes and ex-
plain their wonderful leap into popu-
larity, for most of the exhibitors in
this show had never heard that name
applied to fowls. Then the Buckeye
people attended the meeting of the
poultry association, bringing a stan
dard description of the new breed and
demanding it's rightful place on the
roll of honor.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-11

Only one Rhode Island Red man,
who was a member of the association
was to be found at the time. So by
dint of good wire pulling and strong
members, Buckeyes were admitted to
the Standard, over his vigorous pro-
test. In a few days the meeting was
over and its proceedings published.
Then you should have heard the howl
that went up. At the next years
meeting, the Rhode Island Red breed
ers arose as one man and demanded
their true place. Their breed and des
cription were received with open arms,
but the independent description of the
darker colored, pea-combed Buckeye,
was not interfered with, for it was
shown that true merit and popularity
are in the Buckeye as well as in the
Rhode Island Red.
The Javas much resemble the Ply
mouth Rocks in all useful character
istics. i

it is common to think he refers to
the original Barred variety, yet a
Buff or a Penciled Rock is just as
truly a Plymouth Rock as a Barred
Rock is.
The second breed in class I is the
Wyandotte. In a previous issue we
have mentioned the eight varieties of
the breed. The Silver or "Silver
Laced" is the original from which
the others sprung. History of its
origin has long been clouded by the
jealousies, contentious and inaccurate
records of early breeders. 1t is large
ly Asiatic and certainly contains in
considerable measure the blood of the
Chittagong, a nearly forgotten breed
which is also one of the ancestors of
the Dark Brahma. For many years
the American Seabrights or Cochin
Seabrights, afterward called Wyan-
dottes, were bred by several men with
out understanding or fixed standard,
and there is good reason to believe
that they were Independently ORR
ginated from the different sources
that commended themselves to the
minds of different men. An example
of this, noted in the books has come
under the eye of the writer in the
work of John Erb of Keokuk, Ia. That
gentleman crossed Hamburgs and
stock. After breeding to the Wyan-
dotte type for several years, he pro-
duced two pure white pullets about
the year 1872 or 1873 and at once set
about to try to originate white var
iety of Wyandotte. While he knew
he was not the first with Wyandottes
he thought he had the first white
ones, for at that time. no white Wy
andottes had been exhibited or adver-

had come to any degree of perfection,
other breeders farther east were Of
fering White Wyandottes for sale and
quarrelng about priority in the es-
tablishment of the second variety of
the Wyandottes.
All the Wyandottes are descended
from the Silver. Several of them
contain no other blood; others have
just enough of some other breed to
give the color.
This breed is shorter in body than
the Plymouth Rock, and of more
blocky shape; about a pound lighter
weight, and has the rose comb. Its
short plump body and early maturity
make it a favorite for raising broilers.
Third in class 1 is the Rhode Is
land Red, a very practical fowl
evolved from the most obscure, not
to say mongrel, ancestors. We are able
to tell as much of his pedigree as we
could of many American mulattos.
but his best friends continue to
write down lists of the older breeds
that they happen to like best as the
progenitors of the Rhode Island Red.
Quite likely most of. the breeds thus
enumerated belong to the family tree.
But the Red was left on a good door
step and grew up, in an uncommonly
helpful environment, and like many
other Americans, had the chance and
made good Ea~ly breeders in New

Mr. Kerchner, who Is the head Of a

been spending the last day or two at
the Jefferson hotel. He says he Is
thoroughly familiar with matters In
the Pennsylvania coal districts and
In his opinion the living condition OF
many of the miners is anything but
what 1t should be. He said he had
noted in the press dispatches that the
Contributing editor Of The Outlook
was looking over the situation In
Pennsylvania and he hoped the visit
of Mr.. Roosevelt would not be with
out beneficial results.
"As for the coal trade in general"
said Mr. kerchner, the prospect Is
exceedingly bright for the coming sea
son. 81 believe the demand will be
very active and the supply gives prom =

The national organization which Mr..

Mr.. Campbell Lays Blame for Loss

Driving.

Mr., J. Il. Campbell, whose fine
horse was drowned in Reservoir lake
a few nights ago, having plunged into
the water after being frightened by
an automobile has furnished the po-
lice with information that places an
entirely different light upon the acct
dent.
Mr.. Campbell says that the animal
was not frightened because of the
approach of the machine, but the auto
ran into his buggy from behind, strik-
ing a wheel and throwing the right
shaft against the horse. The shaft
was broken and the animal became
manageable.
Had II not been for the break

II would have remained in the buggy
even after 1t was carried into the lake.

In high spirits over the acquisition Of
the promising young player and pre-
diets great future for him. Priest
played in wonderful form In Fridays
game and pulled off several sensa-
tional plays that could not have been
surpassed In the big leagues.
Irwin sat in the grand stand and
watched the youngster work. Sew

led his features as his valuable find
made play that looked impossible.

II he can continue as he Is now go
ing said the scout. "he has every
player and little coaching with the
stick will give him all that is neees-
sary except more experience"
When asked If he though Priest
would make the team next year. Irwin
replied that he could not say but that
the youngster would make some OF the
older players hustle for their jobs.
Irwin spoke In heated terms con-
corning the row on the field Friday.
He stated that II should never have

surprise. The scout said that such a
thing as striking an umpire occurs
so seldom that he did not know just

7-YEAR-OLD GIRL
WINS HALF MILE
Margaret McCormack's Mother
Among Competitors Beaten
in Match for Cup.

NE WYORK, Aug 6.--By length
OF not quite five yards little Margaret
Mccormack, the seven ear-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. James j. McCor-
mack, OF No. 253 Linden avenue, Flat
bush, won the race in swimming
contest at Sheepshead Bay. The dis
lance was aS4 yards. A rope was
stretched at both ends of the course.
For more than half the distance
little Margaret held fourth place, and
for a time 1t looked as If even number
four could not be held for very long.
Gradually, however, the little girl
gained on the three who were ahead
of her. Ten yards from the finish
she passed Bernard Walters. an elev-
en-year- old opponent and finished the
distance in twenty eight minutes and
forty nine seconds
1t was at first decided that women
only be permitted to complete, but
when Mr.. Mccormack laughingly an
nouneed that his little daughter was
a faster swimmer than any of the
party, the statement was seriously
considered and Margaret found that
she had to fulfill her fathers boast
When the race was over the prize,
q tiny gold loving cup, was handed to
the child. who insisted on having the
trophy suspended from her neck on
a silk ribbon.
The parents of the little girl are
especially proud of her capabilities in
the water. Last year the child re-
garded the water with great fear and
could not be induced. no matter what
the bride. to go bathing.
When a. reporter called at the Nc
Cormack home, Margaret held up the
loving cup and shaking her head
said: We'll. mother, ] did beat you
anyhow, didn't II"
The child's only ambition just at
present Is to be a better swimmer
than Annette keilermann.
