In arranging- the feathers for the above illustration we endeavored to select only those that closely approach 

 the ideal markings. Some of the above feathers were supplied by leading breeders, while others were taken from 

 our own collection, which embraces feathers selected from winners at leading shows, both in England and America. 

 They are not intended to illustrate the ideal, but from them we may very easily determine how many bars the feath- 

 ers in each section of the body should have, and also what the type of the barring should be. Standard word descrip- 

 tions are very helpful and necessary, but nothing can be so complete and accurate as faithful pictures direct from 

 nature. These feathers are a complete set from the most important sections of both male and female, and comply 

 very closely to the present Standard description of Campine color. — A. O. Schilling.
