White Lcshorns, Ege Makers.

The white Leghorn is pre- eminently
the egg farm breed. They are prolific
egg producers. non-s!tters. early ma
turing and very hardy They are med
ium in size and lay a good sized white
egg. They generally do well either
in confinement or on free range. The
majority of breeders concede that they
do their best if somewhat restricted
In fairly good sized runs. When bred
TO good size their meat is excellent
and in some sections, particularly in
New Jersey, the white Leghorns are
popular for the production of SQUAD
broilers, broilers and even small roast
ers. Enthusiasts claim for them that
they grow more quickly and are ready
to market sooner than the larger
breeds, but the beginner should not be
misled by such claims and should re-
members that while the Leghorns can
and sometimes do prove profitable as
market poultry they are first and al
ways an egg producing breed.
The white Leghorns are naturally
great foragers and they are very
hardy; are not easily put out of condi-
ton BY improper feeding and it Is
probably for this reason that more
people are able TO get satisfactory egg

breed. They are an attractive fowl
when well bred particularly those
whites with bright red combs white
earlobes and smooth yellow legs. Ma
turally non-sitters they do not give the
owner trouble by going broody, and
this In itself is a great advantage
when the object is to produce guaran-
teed fresh eggs. since there is no dan
ger That non broody hon will snug

heavier breeds. Although naturally

as well as any other breed. Leghorns

rely on artificial incubation, and
through handling the little ones while

bathing in Lake Worth. The accident
that terminated in his death was a
most unusual one, and the news causes

bath. when shortly afterward he was
viciously attacke by the fish, which
was of huge size, and which inflicted
