These terms are | not interchangeable, both haying a dis-| Breed represents the | race, or stock, to which a bird belongs. |A Plymouth Rock, whether Barred, | | White, or Buff, belongs to one breed; {a Leghorn, irrespective of feather col- | oration, belongs to another reed; and | so on with the Wyandottes, Rhode Is- {land Reds, etc. Each of these is dis-| { tinguished by characteristics of shape ; of body, size and color of eggshell, | | and temperament that have been arti-; fically acquired, but that are definitely, fixed and are specifically its own. Differentiation in Varieties-- In nearly all the standard breeds | there are several distinct families, us| ually distinguished by the color pat- tern of the feathers or the shape of the comb. Each of these families is known as a variety. There are seven ieties of Plymouth Rocks, | eight varieties of Wyandottes, eight of | Leghorns, and so on. | Breed Characteristics-- The physical characteristics of each! variety of Plymouth Rocks are identi- cal. The Barred Plymouth Rocks ! have a small single comb; astout-com- | paratively short beak; modeérat | wattles, bright red in color; | } of | 1 | a rather ll | long back, flat at the shoulders, and | nearly horizontal from neck to saddle; | a broad, full, moderately deep breast; and stout, yellow legs, free of feathers, So have the White Plymouth Rocks and all the other varieties, An Example of Variety-- The difference in Plymouth Rock families, or varieties, is seen in color | of feathers entirely. The plummage of the Barred Plymouth Rocks is a gray- ish white, crossed by regular, parallel bars that stop short of positive black, giving the plummage-a bluish appear- ance. The White Plymouth Rock is white, and the Buff Plymouth Rock ia buff in plummage throughout. The physical conformation of each of these varieties is identical--only the feather | coloration differs. "Shape makes the breed, feather col- This statement is often seen. in the poultry papers and is frequently heard at poultry shows. his is correct, but it must be remem- bered that the same plummage pattern may appear in varieties in different breeds. For instance, the color pattern of the Silver Pencilled Plymouth Rocks, the Silver Pencilled Wyan.- dottes and the Dark Brahmas is iden- tical in every section of the body. So is that of the Columbian Plymouth Rocks, the Columbian Wyandottes, the Light Brahmas and the Light Sussex. WEEKLY POULTRY LESSON Under the Authoritative Direction of C.

STANDARD BANK A LONDON LETTER By Panton House. London, July 8.--With so many thousands of Canadians here for the British Empire Exhibition, Domin- fon Day gatherings were this week the largest that London bas ever seen. Over 2,000 guests attended the reception by P. C. Larkin, High Commissioner for Canada, assisted Shape of Comb as A Variety Charac- teristic A Shape of comb as well as feather| | or presided at a Dominion Day speaking or pattern enters in to make the varieties | in Leghorns. Some varieties are single combed; others are rose combed. There are Single Combed White Leghorns and Rose Combed White Leghorns. This is also true of the Brown Leg- horns. Then there are both Single and Rose Combed White and Black Min- orcas and Single and Rose Combed Anconas. Varieties in Polish' fowl are distinguished not only by color of fea- ther but also by the presence or ab- scence of a beard, which is a bunch of feathers that covers the wattels. Color of Lobe Decides Color of Egg- shell-- wi co In breeds like the Leghorns the lobes are white and so are the eggshells. Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, and others have red lobes and lay brown-shelled eggs. When the lobes of Leghorns have a yellow tinge or are splashed with red their egg- shells will be tinted. When white ap- pears in the lobes of breeds laying brown-shelled eggs the pigmintation in the shell will be lessened. It is very important, if market eggs of the high- est quality are desired, to see to it that (the lobes, of the breeders are cither |°f the C.N.R., | pure white or pure red, according as required by the breeds. Red in the lobes of Mediterranean breeds or white in the lobes of American breeds disqualify them in the show room. Questions on This Week's Lesson-- 1. Is it correct to speak of a Barred Plymouth Rock as a breed or as a variety? 2. Correct this statement. The White Leghorn breed is considered to be a splendid "egg machine." 3. Is breed distinguished by shape or 4. Isit possible to tell before a pul. let starts to lay what of her eggs will be? Answers to Last Week's Lesson-- 1. The chief cause of chicks piling up in the corners) of the brooder room is overcrowding. It is a common practice to put too many chicks under each hover. Other causes are rapid changes in temperature and low vitality in the chicks. 2. When chicks pile up in the cor- ners those underneath are often smoth- ered; at least, they are made to sweat and are easily chilled. Once a chick has been thus chilled its growth is seriously retarded. 5 leat. | 8. When the cockerels are separated at an early age from the pullets twice as many chicks may be hovered toge- ther as could otherwise be done. Both sexes grow better and more rapidly when separated. 4. The amount of floor space which should be allotted to a growing chick While the color pattern of these vari- eties are the same, they are each of different breeds because their physical shape is different. -- depends somewhat on the skill of the attendant. Approximately 200 chicks is the most economical number that can be reared in one flock. : Kingston Markets 1 Friday, July 25.
