erels eight, then hen is two pounds
lighter than the cock and the pullet

They carry a large amount Of fat for
the size of the bird and dress well.
Then you have the Wyandottes in
Silver. Golden, White, Buff, Black,
Partridge Silver Pencilled and Colum-
bian, eight varieties in one breed. The
cocks should weigh eight and one-half
pounds and the coCkerels seven and
one-half pounds, while the hens tip
the scales at six and one-half pounds
and the pullets go one pound lighter.
The Wyandotte is bird of handsome
appearance, built on curves and is
very pleasing to the eye. They grow
well and stand forcing well and better
than some Of the other breeds They
are moderate layers of medium sized
eggs, are very traCtable, good fOragers,
yet stand confinement well The White
is the most popular variety, both for
utility and exhibition purposes.
The Black Javas are but seldom
seen either in the showroom or on the
brooders yards today. They are good
layers and at one time were very pop
ular. The same may be said of the
Notified JaVas and the American Dom
Unique, the latter having once been

The Rhode Island Reds, while in
point Of fact an old breed, has been
admitted to the standard for only a
few years. For nearly fifty years they
were bred by the farmers around Lit
tie Compton, r. l., for their egg laying
and meat producing qualities They
are the direct result Of our crossing,
the only motives prompting the origi-
nators being VigOr and prOllfICacy.
They were hunting the utility side of
the business without regard to any
definite color scheme. They are active,
hardy, vigorous. fine egg producers
and are good mothers, No breed has
made more rapid progress toward the
first place than have they since they
were admitted to the standard. 1t Is
stll hard, and will be for years to
come, 10 breed them according to re-
Quircments. With their rich red plum
age they present an attractive appear
anCe and their acknowledged utility
qualifications make them dear to the
heart Of all those who have them in
their yards.
The Buckeyes were originated by
Mrs. Nettie Metcalf formerly Of War
rem, Ohio, but now of Englewood,
Cal They are rather heivier than
the Rhode Island Reds. They have
pea comb, are not so long in body
and are higher on their legs than
the Reds In color they are a rich
deep red, bordering on mahogany.

They have not as yet been very
widely distributed, but according to
, their originator and those who have
tried them they are possessed Of
many good qualities.
In the AsiatiCs we have Brahmas,
Cochins and Langshans-old and
popular breeds with many especially
those who like the lOrdly fowl for
exhibition and those who desire a
great deal of meat in chicken,
There are two varieties of the
Brahmas the light and the dark.
-Four OF the Cochins Buff, White,
Black and Partridge Two of the
Langshans, Black and White The
light Brahma is the heaviest, weigh
ing when mature, 2 pounds, and the
Langshan is the lightest, a full
grown cock weighing 1-2 pounds.
There is a great similarity in them
all in their general characteristics.
No fowls stand confinement better
and but few are more attractive to
the eye Of those who delight in such
breeds They lay rich dark k-brown
eggs and are known as excellent
winter layers While they are good
mothers and settlers, their weight
makes them rather undesirable for

teemed by many as better than that
of the turkey.

MUST PROVIDE OWN COOPS.

We are informed by the SUI
perlutendent of the poultry de-
partment of the County Fair that
the exhibitors must furnish their
own cOOpiug. The published
statement that they would be
uniformly coOped was an error
and not discovered in time to
correct it in the premium lists.
He also informs us that they will
be well cared for and fed, and
given the very best of attention
in every way. He requests that
this announcement be made so
that everyone may send their
fowls in proper cooping. Coops
need not be at AL expensive, but
should be rOOmy and so made
as to allow the visitors to be able
to see the birds well, and the
judge to get at them easily and
