pick up much of their living. Yet they 
stand close confinement very well, al¬ 
though they prefer to roost in trees. The 
writer allowed his first lot of Ancona 
pullets to run at large until he was ready 
to house them for the winter. Then he 
had to go out on a moonlight night and 
pick them out of the trees with a fruit- 
picker. The neighbors thought a general 
massacre of all the flock was going on. 
Now the pullets are coaxed to roost in¬ 
side by feeding them late in the after¬ 
noon in their quarters, then quietly shut¬ 
ting the door while they are busy devour¬ 
ing the cracked corn. 
If there is one strictly fancy breed, it 
is the Hamburg's. These exceedingly 
handsome birds in several varieties are 
particularly popular with society people 
who have a weakness for fine poultry. 
This is especially true around Boston, 
and at the Boston show one sees several 
of the names which also appear in the 
social register of the Hub. 
Hamburg's are among the oldest of our 
standard breeds, and Holland is their 
native home. The city of Hamburg gave 
them the name the}' bear, but at one time 
in England they were known as “Dutch 
Everlasting Layers.” It may be rightly 
assumed from this cognomen that they 
are prolific egg producers. The shells 
are white and the eggs are rather small. 
While they pay their way, these birds are 
not profitable if one seeks market eggs. 
The quiet beauty of the Hamburgs is 
sufficient to account for the popularity 
with fanciers. The Golden and Silver 
Spangled and the penciled varieties are 
most attractive, because of their grace¬ 
ful carriage and shape, as well as on ac¬ 
count of their plumage. 
Polish varieties, too, are bred mostly by 
fanciers who are not particular as to 
utility qualities. Yet Polish hens lay 
many eggs. The most ornamental charac¬ 
teristic of the breed is a large, flowing 
crest. With one variety this crest is 
pure white, while the body color of the 
bird is solid black. The effect is odd and 
interesting. 
While the White Wyandotte is the 
most common variety in that breed, 
many other varieties have been pro¬ 
duced, some of which are strikingly hand¬ 
some. The list includes Sftvers, Golden. 
Partridge, Silver Penciled and Buff. The 
spangled and penciled Wyandottes are 
among the most attractive of all the 
American breeds. To the list must also 
he added the Columbian Wyandottes, 
which are prized more for their utility 
qualities than those just mentioned. They 
have been hailed with delight by breeders 
who admire the Light Brahmas, yet hesi¬ 
tate to keep them on account of their 
feathered legs and unwieldy bulk. The 
Columbian Wyandottes closely resemble 
the Brahmas, except that they are smaller 
and have smooth shanks. They are most 
attractive when well bred, dress well, lay 
well, and are easy to handle. It is not
