THE CAMPINES

Jones, who has painted their feathers with a master 

 hand and beautified them beyond description. The 

 chances are that very few breeders in this country will 

 ever realize what this great English preacher did for 

 the Golden Campines. The results of this master artist 

 in the mating of Golden Campines will be everlasting 



the center of attraction, and we predict even greater in- 

 terest at that show from year to year as they become 

 better known. 



Regarding our experience with imported birds, we 

 can see a marked improvement in vitality in the second 

 generation, showing the Campine to be a very hardy

of the grave, but his good work will be left m the improvement in our last year's hatch over the year pre- 



blood of these beautiful 



Campines that will grace the 



yards of the thousands to 



follow. 



We believe the demand 

 for Golden Campines will 

 steadily grow as they be- 

 come better known to the 

 American fancier. They have 

 had the disadvantage of fol- 

 lowing in the wake of the 

 Silver Campine; hence have 

 not been so much talked 

 about and exhibited, but un- 

 less we are mightily mis- 

 taken the old saying of 



vious, both

The last crop seems to 

 have a more finished ap- 

 pearance and do not mind 

 the weather so much. We 

 believe it takes three or four 

 generations to fully accli- 

 mate imported Campines. 



We believe the American 

 fancier will do well to buy 

 at home rather than to im- 

 port, since the early im- 

 porters now have yards 

 equal to the English and

 Dear Mr. JacobiiM; — 



It in pronouuced KAM-PBISIV. 

 The word CAMPINE Is Freneh and the 

 method of pronouuclngr It iH an above. 



We In English are accustomed to the word 

 ptne for a kind of tree and at first 80 per cent 

 of the people pronounced It as If It were KAM- 

 PINE, but really the ITiE Is pronounced as 

 l^EN In queen. 



Yours faithfully,

as soon as the American becomes educated. 



The demand this year has been extraordinary, con- 

 sidering the newness of the breed, and the future looks 

 very bright for those who will take them up and breed 

 them in a careful, painstaking way. For the small se- 

 lect breeder the Golden Campines are adapted, for they 

 meet the high ideals of the true fancier and lover of 

 the beautiful, being of a more gentle disposition than 

 the Silvers, not so inclined to the wild nature, and are 

 easily handled and confined. 



Our experience in showing Golden Campines is thai 

 they are bound to prove one of the most popular varie- 

 ties in the show. room. At the Chicago Show greai 

 crowds thronged the aisles to get a glimpse of the Cam- 

 pines, and outside of the Rhode Island Reds, they wert 



feel we now have birds of our own raising fit to hold 

 their own in the show room with any imported birds 

 that may be brought over. It is certain we can 

 show a more rugged, healthy, vigorous bird, and those 

 who now import will have to start where we started 

 and be that much behind in vigor and vitality. We 

 are now so sure of our footing that we would not 

 pay the carriage on imported Golden Campines with the 

 expectation of improving our yards. It is not our inten- 

 tion of breeding, or keeping rather, any large number of 

 matings of Goldens on Carver's Red Farms, but rather to 

 breed them in a small intensive way and see how good 

 we can get them. As with our Rhode Island Reds we shall 

 keep our ideals high and our matings trimmed close, 

 that there may be pleasure as well as profit in the work. 



"Get a Few" 



By H. P. MoDononih, Newark. New York 



BY this time, with all the information given through 

 the press, the majority of us know how and 

 when the Campines came, into prominence; an- 

 cient history does not concern the majority of breeders 

 — "Efficiency" is the watch word of all good business, 

 why not have a greater "efficiency" in your hen yard? 

 In the Campine fowl we have today the most ef- 

 ficient! Because she produces a large white egg at a 

 minimum cost, and plenty of them; being non-setters, 

 they appeal to all breeders, especially the small back 

 yard man, as well as large breeders. The demand today 

 is not a boom, or bubble ready to burst, because once 

 they are in your yards, and — as the saying goes — -"the 

 proof of the pudding is in the eating," you will have no 

 other breed. 



You hear a few say the Campine will last a few 

 years, then — "?." But to these people let me say, you 



are in error if you don't know what a Campine will do. 

 Don't criticise them — "Get a few," and eat the pudding; 

 you will not have to have sauce to make it palatable, so 

 I repeat — "those of you who are from Missouri — GET 

 A FEW." 



You can read about egg records, cost of feeding, 

 health, stability, etc., but the Campines lead them all. 

 Try a few, make them prove to you their worth, and it 

 will not be long before you will not be satisfied with 

 a few. 



I am receiving orders every day — "Repeats" — as 

 well as new enthusiasts who are giving the Campine a 

 trial. Those of you who are thinking of entering into' 

 the poultry business either from a "fancier's standpoint,'' 



or from the commercial "Haid Dollar" end, I repeat 



"Get a few," and make them prove their worth.
