- POULTRY =
The Minorcas and Black Spanish.
By Cockspur.

Only recently have the Mnorcas come
into prominence among the breeders of
poultry, but they are making good
strides i'm popular fancy. The reason
for this is that they have many of the
characteristics of the Leghorn in that
they lay a white egg and are almost as
nrolific in the number of eggs per year
and are non-sitters They are a some
what larger bird. and lay a. larger egg
than does the Leghorn. They are a
better bird than the Leghorn as table
fowl Their flesh is white or light col
ored with fine grain to it. They are
fairly good winter layers, too, If kept
under favorable circumstances.
Their origin, like that of nearly all
tie old breeds, is matter of specuia-
ton. Some contend that they originally
came from the Island of Minorca. enc
of the Balcaric Isles. in the Mediter-
ranean sea. Others hold they are only
a variety of tho Black Spanish.
There have been many breeders who
contend they supply long-felt want,
especially IN the New York market,
where white eggs bring higher price
than the brown. This lonS-felt want
consists mainly of an egg that is white
Like the Leghorn, they are a restless,
active bird, and therefore good forasers.
The claim is made for the Minorcas that
while they do not lay quite as many eggs
per year as do the Leghorns. the large
ness of their eggs makes them equal to
the Leghorn egg in bulk.
The American Minorca Club has made
every effort to push this breed, and the
result of its work is showing each year.
One of the objections to the Minorca.
like one OF the objections to the single
comb Leghorn, is that because of It's
large comb the tendency to freeze is
create. t.an in many other breeds. But
,.c,, ti.is has Eeen overcome by the pro-
duc,ion of a rose comb var ETY.. wien

Ambassadors
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1919. by Frank Crsne.l

AS to ambassadors to foreign countries
il might help bit toward clearing up
the question il we bore i'm mind the fact
| that these gentlemen are sent abroad to
represent us and not To represent The
people among whom they dwell
When Mr.. Red spends Sle..om a year
in London. Mr.. TIerrick SIoa.vb i'm Paris,
Mr. Tower ssoGe, in Berlin and Mr..
Ieishman goodness knows what in Rome.
each on a salary of Sl7.:1a, they do not
represent any class of people over here
except that class that live beyond their
salary.
Only an insignificant fraction of the
American people are able to keep up es-
Establishments on the scale of the privi-
legged nobility of England. Germany and
Austria. Most of us have to work for all
we get. We are a nation OF laborers. We
arc a democracy. All the magnificent
idlers among us are poor limitations OF
old world figures for which we do not
particularly care.
The kind OF ambassadors we need are
big men, big enough 10 exist on S1I,Jo "A
year and save moner. big enough not To
need the splash and glitter i'm order To
impress Londoners and Parisians. big
enough To he simple, and i'm simplicity to
have dignity that commands respect
The Nation of London shrcwdly SAYS:
''In Offering the London embassy To dr.
Page President Wilson has made an in-
teresting experiment. lie has boldly re-
verted to the scholar diplomat AS the
type of man most qualified to represent
the United States abroad. In doing so he
has paid silent but striking compii-
ment to the good sense of the British
people.
.He has assumed that what We most
value I'm an American ambassador is not
his wealth and his ability to lavish 1T on
magnificent houses and huge entertain
ments, but his personality and his
achievements and the oXten; TO which he
brings with him the true flavor of Amer
lean life
That is sound sense. We want the
scholar diplomat and not the dollar dip
lomat.
The American travelling in Europe finds
few people that make him blush for his
native and. There are the newly rich,
the loud and blatant. blufiing and boast
ing. there are the youthful idiots spin
ming Gown the purple ways of profigacy.
But about the worst object he finds is an
alleged Representative. OF the United
States aping the upper crusters of a type
of society We have definitely discarded. L
have had some experience with them;
they are not pleasant bodies.
On the contrary. to come i'm contact
with a man like Mr.. Choate in London.
DIR. Hill in Berlin or Mr.. Calhoun OF
China has been a distinct tonic to the
Americansm OF any one who has had
that privilege.
But it is a question whether we need
ambassadors at all. They are a part of
the deviousness and parade of a theory of
statecraft that is passing. But as long
as We keep up the embassy business let
us select real. genuine. United States
folk, that can and will live i'm the capt.
tails of the old world with the plainness
and self-respect OF the average Ameri-
can. We have plenty OF such men.

they resemble i'm shape and from winch
they probably originated. though bred as
a distinct type on the Island OF Minorca.
A few Minorcas were brought to this
country in the fifties. but the movement
i'm their favor did not take hold until the
eighties.
How the white Minorcas were produced
is mooted question. put the contention
is that the white Leghorn was largely
used in it's making.
The record Of the origin of the white
faced Black Spanish fowl is obscure.
While it is believed they were brought
to Spain from the East Indies. no one
has learned the real origin. 1t is an
old breed. probably the oldest known to
Europe. The bird existed in Spain for
many hundred years. and was imported
into other countries over century ago
from SPAIN 1t had great favor in Eng
land in the eighteenth century. and lost
popularity only with the incoming of the
Minorcas. It is a rather pretty bird,
with large red comb and wattles. Its
white face makes a striking contrast with
its glossy. greenisil back plumage. AS a
layer of eggs it equals the Mnorca. The
standard weight of the Spanish are: Cock,
s pounds: cockerel. 81. pounds: hen, 6ls
pounds. and pullet. 51s pounds.
The Anconas and the Andalusians are
two acknowledged subvarieties of the
Black Spanish. The Anconas. too, re-
semble the Leghorn in form. except that
they are a trifie larger than the Italian
breed. They are, however. the smallest
of the Spanish breeds. They lay white
egg. They are increasing in popularity
in this country now They We're intro
duced here many years ago. but 1T has
taken them long time to find favor with
the breeders. The plumage of The An
coma is beetle-green, with each feather
tipped with white.
The Andalusians. sometimes called Bii;e
Andalusians because OF their light and
dark plumage. are little known il this
country, but are quite popular il France
and England. Like the Leshorn. they
are non-sitters. and. Ike the Mino. cas-,
lay large white egg. 1t has been said
of the Andalusian that it is the prettiest
OF the feathered race, and writer's on
poultry often express wonder that the
birds are not bred more here. Their
white skin and their blue shanks are Of
fered as an objection on the market.
However. even this may be overcome in
time. if the new blue variety of the Orp-
ington finds favor.
