CONCLUDING REMARKS. 



We have endeavored to give, in the preceding pages, as much 

 information on Wyandottes as our space would allow. They are 

 collectively a grand race and an honor to American skill. They are 

 as near the breeder's ideal of the long wished for " coming fowl " as 

 it seems possible to produce. With united efforts and a love for 

 the work, they can be brought to a high state of excellence for the 

 show-room and housekeeper, the cottager and farmer, and handsome 

 and useful in a high degree. 



It is certain that Wyandottes brought up to a high standard in 

 productiveness and table qualities, beautified in plumage, and kept 

 up to their highest physical attainments, will cause thousands to take 

 up their breeding for pleasure or profit, seeing in them every 

 characteristic essential to a first class breed. Fanciers, too, will 

 make a specialty of one or the whole family, and where there is one 

 now breeding Wyandottes, there will be ten engaged in their 

 culture at the dawn of 1900. Our faint attempts cannot do honor 

 to American enterprise, genius and skill, nor do justice to the class 

 of fowls which our fanciers have evolved and improved; but their 

 work will live after them, and will be more enduring than monu- 

 ments of granite.
