them a unique appearance. They are about the 

 size of the Minorcas, and lay large white eggs. 



Andalusians. — The Andalusians are in most re- 

 spects, the same as the Leghorn, except that they 

 are blue in color. They are handsome, and could 

 doubtless be bred to a good service, but are not as 

 yet receiving much attention. 



The Ancona is much like the Leghorn, mottled 

 in black and white. 



POLISH CLASS 



Eight varieties comprise the Polish class, and 

 the poultry show which fails to have two or three 

 types of this variety is seldom found. No one 

 claims that they compare in value with the Ameri- 

 can breeds or the Leghorns, but their quaint hoods, 

 their moustaches and beards, and general sprightly 

 appearance attract the interest and attention of 

 many fanciers. There are the White Crested 

 Black, Golden, Silver, White,. Bearded Golden, 

 Bearded Silver, Bearded White, and Buff Laced. 

 They are about the size of Leghorns. The number 

 of eggs produced by this breed is fairly large, but 

 they are rather small and not welcomed by house- 

 wives at regular rates.
