FOREWORD 
alo HE illustrations of White Laced Red 
VA AEBS Cornish fowls are placed in this book 
Ni ae because in the origin and evolution of 
AS WZ this breed I learned the prime truths 
a and fundamental principles of animal 
breeding as well as the superiority and 
prepotency of all animals line-bred and 
that like begets like when these prin- 
I cots and laws are followed. The 
a first illustration is the original male 
on which this breed was founded. He 
was sired by a White Cornish; his dam was one quarter 
Brahma, one quarter Shamo Jap. Game and one 
half Dark Cornish; he was bred back for five 
consecutive years to his own pullets with the results 
of establishing color and markings identical with his 
own. Hence, color and markings and characteristics 
for a breed were established which has been bred 
and perpetuated in line ever since as per chart. {The 
history of all animal breeding where racial character- 
istics are desired, is grand and all sufficient proof 
that these principles are eternally right. Pure bred 
domestic animals of any race or kind are evolutions 
brought to high standards of perfection according 
to kind by a strict adherence to line-breeding and na- 
ture’s laws. Thus, the laws governing the breeding of 
fancy fowls as laid down in these pages are simply plain 
statements of plain everlasting truths, proven and 
reproven in all animal life. The results of 
negligence or ignorance are only further 
proofs of these great laws.
