222 THEv AMERICAN BREEDS OF POULTRY 



The end we hope for is not yet attained and all our plans are to produce even 

 better Standard bred fowl than in previous years. 



Thus the greatest breeder of Partridge Cochins that the world 

 has yet known, a breeder whose best birds are the standard by which 

 all other specimens of the variety are gauged, is still planning, at the 

 age of seventy years, to breed better quality. Such is the spirit of the 

 fancy. 



An unusually good photograph o_ a Par- 

 tridge Wyandotte pullet. Because of the red 

 ground color and black penciling, the con- 

 trast is usually lost by the camera, the red 

 appearing black in the picture.
