Attempts have been made to breed the Jungle fowlwith our domestic breeds, and an interesting account isgiven of this in the official report of the second NationalPoultry Conference at Reading in 1907, but so far littlesuccess has crowned the effort, as either the differentbreeds would not mate or the progeny were weakly anddied as chicks. All fanciers who are interested in the origin anddevelopment of our numerous breeds and varietiesshould have a copy framed of a wonderful plate of theJungle Fowl and its Descendants, drawn and paintedby Mr. Ludlow. This was presented as a supplement toa recent number of the Feathered World, and may beobtained from Mrs. Corayns-Lewer, the editress. It is 252.
