Who’s Who in the Poultry Yard 
When the German soldiers marched into 
Belgium and proceeded to patronize the Bel¬ 
gian dairies for their daily bills-of-fare, 
they found there a predominance of im¬ 
mense white eggs. 
They were not duck 
eggs, as it might at 
first have seemed, but 
the product of Bel¬ 
gium's beautiful native 
fowl, the Silver Cam- 
pine hen. 
Fortunately, if the 
war causes the devas¬ 
tation of Belgian Cam- 
pine henneries, this 
breed will not become 
extinct, because several 
years ago prize speci¬ 
mens of this breed were 
imported to England 
and then to America, 
found to be unusually 
well-acclimated to this 
country, and are now 
being bred successfully 
by a number of leading 
yards. 
The Silver 
mediately w'on 
fanciers here, 
somewhat like 
Rock, and the 
Campine's rare beauty im- 
for it the attention of bird- 
The mottled body feathers, 
those of the Barred Plymouth 
beautiful silver neck feathers, 
with bright red comb, 
make it a. show bird 
of aristocratic distinc¬ 
tion. 
But the plumage of 
the Campine is not its 
m a i n characteristic. 
Its laying qualities 
are unusual. Large, 
chalk-white eggs com¬ 
mand a big price in 
metropolitan markets, 
and as a producer of 
such, the Campine is 
sure to increase in gen¬ 
eral favor. 
Campines are not 
large fowls, but their 
flesh is splendid eating 
—with a slight simi¬ 
larity to that of the 
pheasant, with which, 
no doubt, it has a 
common ancestry.
