 mothers than the Wyandottes." 



DESCRIPTION.

 The 'American standard for judging White Wyandottes is accepted 

 by the English Club.

REMARKS. 



It may seem unjust that the White Wyandottes should be sub- 

 ject to like cuts, and the same points allotted in the various sections 

 with the Laced varieties, as there is no marking to breed for; but on 

 second consideration, the breeder will find that this is meant to do 

 justice to all, without giving special advantage to one variety above 

 the other. At first one is apt to overlook that the Whites fail in color
