Hj The White-Faced Black Spanish are a distinguished looking fowl, and may appro- priately be classed with the Light Brahma as belonging to the aristocracy of the poultry yard.

Spanish. They lay a large, creamy white egg. Andalusians might be called Blue Leghorns. They are a beautiful fowl, but for some reason are not largely bred. The fourth-class is the English breed, the Dork- ings, of which there are three varieties—White, Silver- Gray and Colored. The Dorkings have a character- istic shape, the body long, deep and full, neck and legs short and the whole appearance solid and substan- tial. The standard weight of mature males of the Silver-Gray variety is eight pounds, and of mature females six and one-half pounds. Colored Dorkin;^'s should weigh a pound heavier. These all have white flesh. They are good layers, but are especially prized for their market and table qualities. Colored Plate VII shows two varieties of Orping- tons, of which several varieties classed according to color of plumage have of late years been imported from England. They are good layers and good table.
