The fashionable color of to-day in the male bird is the bright lemon hackle and saddle, and as near to that color as possible on back and wing-bow ffine, narrow lacing i^n breast, coming well down to the thigh; body color and tailhard, glossy black. "The female, in body^ tail should^be short,'hard- feathered, gloss}' black in color, narrow, fine lacing of lemon on breast; hackle feathers black, deeply laced with lemon. ' In breeding for males I would^ use a male^of the above description with good, hard-feathered female; if slightly laced on back it is no objection. They should be well laced on breast. "For pullet breeding I would use onh- sound colored females, with lustrous black body color, no lacing except on breast. A slightlv darker male than above described would be better for pullet breeding. GOLDEN DUCKWING GAME BANTAMS "Originally were the result of breeding a Black Breasted Red cock to Silver Duckwing females. They are now bred as a distinct strain and reproduce very true to name and color. A very bright "colored Black^Breasted Red male is sometimes used to secure good color in cockerels! Females from this cross are generally Black Breasted Red in color, and are only valuable when mated to true colored Duckwing males to improve the color. SILVER IDUCKWINGIGAME BANTAMS "Were the old-time'_ birds.\They are bredj extensively in America, but little in England. They are really a handsome bird when of a pure silvery white; much more beautiful than the Golden. No Game Bantam is more beautiful than a fine Silver Duckwing, and a female of this variety is the most beautiful of all Game Bantams
