HOUDANS APPEAL TO TWO
CLASSES OF POULTRYMEN
Attractive to Fancier, Useful to
Commercial Men-One Of
Old Breeds.
~ EDWIN MEGARGEE.

one OF the "Old Guard OF poultryiom
yet holding a high place in the estimation
OF poultrymen on both sides OF the At
lantic. the Houdan deserves to be ranked
among the breeds which are attractive TO
the farcicr and useful to the commerce
grower OF poultry.
This breed was originated In France,
where 1t has always held a leading posi-
tion, both as n table fowl and dependable
producer Of large. white shelled eggs.
There IL some doubt as to tho exac,
method by which the breed was produced
Some authorities claim that the original
cross was made by using the old time
Crevecoeur and the common hve toed
fowl OF the country; others that ther.
was an infusion OF Polish blood and ina
the Nth toe results from the use OF the
Dorklng. The commonly accepted theory
Ia that the Crevec0eur- Dorking cross most
atslactosily accounts for the physical
characteristics OF the modern Houdan.
AZ table fowl the Houdan Is esps-
cially valuable. When properly finished
ana dressed 1t makes u beautiful carcass
The skin Is " hite and fine IN texture: thu
body long, with a large amount of breast
meat; the thighs thick and meaty the
whole conformation plump and partridge
like. Further. the fat seems to be well
distributed throughout the tissues. and
not merely deposited in layers beneath
the skin.
The Houdan IL odd and attractive In
appearance. having large crest and
beard. antler comb and five toes.
In color the plumage ia a glossy black
relieved by clearly defined spots OF white
The standard demands that each nth
feather show white tip. though the
preference seems TO he given to darker
birds In the showroom.
The hackle and saddle feathers OF the
male are white tipped. and many OF the
sickle feathers and coverts are laced with
white. White tips also show on the black
tail feathers Of the female.
There are many prolific strains OF
Houdans which produce astonishing guam
titles of big Gags. When mature the birds
are hardy. capable OF enduring the cold
est OF weather. The unusual protection
afforded their combs and watties prob.
ably accounts for this.
II Is a pleasure to work with a flock
Of Houdans. because they are 40 gentle
and easily handled. No other breed has
this characteristic more highly developed.
To the owner of n home flock this is "a
matter OF considerable Importance.
In America this breed has never be-
come popular for exclusive use on large
commercial farms. But to those who are
keeping poultry In q small way. and de-
sire to handle a breed combining oddly
and beauty with good utility qualities,
tho Houdan can be strongly recon-
! mended.
