HOUDAN COCK. 



HOITDAN HEN. 



The La Fleche are medium- 

 sized, black - plumaged fowls, 

 and worthy of more atten- 

 tion than they have hitherto 

 received from farmers. 



The White -faced Black 

 Spanish (see illustration, page 

 1064) are of medium size, 

 and are great layers of large 

 eggs. 



All three breeds are alike 

 in that they require unlimited 

 range, and, generally speak- 

 ing, lay better in spring and 

 summer than in winter.
