MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Quality That Recon-
mends the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sired-earred Where EGG Pro-
duction 10 Chief item.

by PROF. IL l. KEMPsTER. Missouri
College OF Agriculture.)
The Light Brahma Is the oldest and
perhaps the best-known and most pop
ular Of the feather-legged chickens.
Size Is the quality that recommends
the Light Brahma. Where large and
slowly maturing fowls are desired, the
Light Brahma has no superior, but the
able In the pullets. which. together
with the fact that they are not very
henvy layers when matured. practi-
cally bars this breed where egg pro-
duction Is the chief item.
There is no other breed Of fowls that
has the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahma. These fowls are close
feathered like the Langshnns, but are
larger and not SO long-legged. They
are not as heavily feathered as the
Cochins. They are very graceful In
appearance and carry themselves in
stately manner. The back on both
male and female Is very long and
broad. There should be slight rise
of the back with broad sweep at the
base Of the tail. The birds should be
erect and well placed on their legs.
Abundant toe feathers IL also q very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard OF
Perfection as guide. the following.
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications Of the Light Brahma
fowls. when being Judged according
to the Standard of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cocks
over three pounds. cockerels over two
and half pounds. hens and pullets
over two pounds less than standard
weight. Vulture hooks also disquallfy.
