The Black Breasted Red Game Ban
tam is the most aristocratic of the Ban
tam tribe, and more money changes
rhands for them each year in this couu-
try and Europe than for all the rest of
the Bantam class put together. AS
much as $3.50 is frequently paid for a
single cock or hen But they are quite
hard to raise and it is for that very
reason they are so inbred to secure the
fine standard points so much desired
in the show room that it has weakened
their vitality to a considerable extent.
Not so with the Cochins. They seem
to carry their vitality with them at all
times and under all conditions, and are
