The bantam fowl; a description of all standard breeds and varieties of bantams, and of new breeds that are becoming popular .. . e?white in the Silvers and a rich golden in the Goldens, and leteach feather in the tail be also laced all around with point is too much neglected and we see only the tailfeathers tipped or spangled with black. With matings as above described, yon will hardly fail ofbreeding many prize winners. As to the number of femalesto be associated with the male, breeders sometimes differ,tout we are in the habit of making up pens of one male andeight and ten females. It is advisable to have for each pentwo males equally good, yet differing in some special points,and then change them, allowing one bird to run with theflock one day, and the other one the next day, and so on;ty thus alternating the males the eggs are much more fer-tile. We have always heard so much about the infertilityof Sebright Bantam eggs, but in all our experience, withBantams of every kind, we never had any such trouble. Allthese remarks apply equally tp both the Golden and theiSllver Sebright Bantams. SILVER SEBRIGHT COCIC, A MODEL FOR STYLEAND DISTRIBUTION OF COLOR.
