JUNE MATCHED CHICKS HELP
II Given Great Care They Mature

To such growth. however. tho right

ment---ls Indispensable. To live and grow
into desirable stock, June Matched chicks
must have access 10 both shade and sun
shine. Sunlight is natural enemy to
to comfort and refreshment. The cOops
must be clean and free from vermln---
the floor must be dry. sufficiently Uttered
and roomy. the chicks must not be
crowded.
Good ventilation OF coops and brood
ing places In a prime essential The
ventilation must be accomplished with
out chilly drafts, Fresh, pure air must
find Its way to the chicks without blow
Ing directly upon them. There Is always
danger of chilly night Nearly every
season some pullets raised from June
matches carry away honors ut the fall
poultry shows. and sometimes the best OF
the winter layers are pullets Matched In
June and raised In small hocks. Such
occurrences are not the rule, they are
the exception brought about by the UNI
common skin and unt!r.ng care. June
Matched chicks are broilers In August

choice frier Is a treat indeed. You need
not hesitate to hatch In June. But you
must hatch from good stock.

BUFF PLYMOUTH ROCK
BECOMING A FAVORITE
Two Different Strains Were
Developed Independently by
New England Breeders.
by EDWIN MEGARGEs.

The Buff Plymouth Rock stands as an
example OF the remarkable results which
may be obtained by the painstaking and
intelligent work OF the breeder In the
mating and selection of our domestic
fowls. For here is "A variety OF the Plym-
outh Rock family. one which carries the
essential breed characteristics to n
marked degree. yet actually having but
little. II any. Plymouth Rock blood In its
original makeup.
originally there were two distinct
strains of Buff Rocks brought out by
independent breeders. the Wilson and the
Burlington.
The latter was originated by A. q.
Buninton OF Massachusetts. II was pro-
duced by selecting and breeding together
specimens of fowls having Plymouth Rock
shape and buff plumage. These came
from the farm nocks which later fur
nshcd the foundation upon which the
Rhode Island Red was built After n
period OF careful work a strain of Buff
Rocks was produced which bred well TO
type and deserved recognition from the
poultry fraternity.
The other early strain was brought
into being by ]. n Wilson OF New York,
whose original cross was Buzz Cochin and
Light Brahma.
II IL probable that IN the hands OF
many breeders these two strains were
soon combined. Also that in many cases
Plymouth Rock blood was introduced
through the use OF White Rock females.
This variety received tho official seal
OF the poultry fraternity In 1894, when II
was admitted 20 the Standard or Perfec-
ton Since that time 1t has steadily
gained In uniformity OF quality and In
public favor.
The ideal Buff Plymouth Rock has pre-
cisely the same type IA the older va
rlcties OF the breed. The color should

buff throughout, free from foreign color,
mealiness or shaftlng. Different shades
Of bun In the various sections Is unde-
sirabie.
Upon opening the piumage the under
color will be found OF lighter shade
OF bun. Any other color here Is a serl-
Gus defect
The comb, face and wattles and ear
lobes are bright red. the eye IL reddish
bay. while 'beal, shanks and toes are rich
yellow.
As combination fancy and utility
fowl this beautiful Plymouth Rock ranks
high. The problem OF breeding to pro-
duce the desired shade OF hun, which IL
certainly most beautiful color, delights
the true fancier. The utility breeder, on
the other hand. appreciates the filllng of
the egg basket and the production or
fine table birds, for both of which pur-
poses these fowls are excellent.
Due to the large amount Of Asiat'c
blood which they carry Bun Rocks are
unusually vigorous and hardy The
chicks are husky and make very rapid
growth dressing of well at any age,
while the old birds thrive under condi-
tons which would prove injurious to
breeds OF less sturdy constitutions. The
hens are excellent sitters and mothers
and will give their broods the greatest
| care. Their eggs are OF very good sae,
usually rich brown in color. Pullets
weigh pounds. hens, m cockerels. 5;
cocks, 9la.
