The Woman’s College Poultry Farm has been testing all kinds o Indian Runner ducks „ three colors of O^phin^on chicken^ It is our opinion that Ru^nn will outlay any hens tjiat grow if properly fed and managed. , . , Hsh penciled duck is the ordinal Runner that was imported f^om In dia into England about s®jenty y ago In its native heath it laid tfnted eggs as well as ^b^te ones It was imported i^toJVmerica about twelve years ago and has be , popular on account of its gre qualities. Tbe American fanciers seemed to favor a lighter solid fawn and white col^. ^ selecting the lighter and more so d fawn colored ducks as breeders with light colored drakes, free ^reen on heads, made what the American Standard Indian Run ner ducks.

Meridian, Miss. ment to the skill and scientific breed ing of this very popular variety. One who is really interested in the improvement of the Browns has only to refer to the Standard of twenty years ago and compare the ideals of perfection with present day ideals as shown in our latest Standard of Per fection to appreciate the marvelous improvement^ which have been made in type, carriage and color ing. I have been breeding Brown Leg horns, exclusively, for more than twenty years. I started out with the best blood lines I could procure any where, and must say that the Brown Leghorn of today, to my mind, is far superior to the old-time Brown Leghorns in every way. The laying qualties of the Brown Leghorn is more a matter of breed ing than anything else. Some few years ago I tried pushing some March-hatched pullets to see how early they would begin to lay. I found that the first one began to lay at four months and ten days of age, the others began about ten days later. I find that my “Brown Beauty” pullets generally begin to lay at from four and a half months to five months of age when properly han dled. I also find that I get many more eggs during the year from the present-day Brownt Leg^horng than from the old-time kind twenty years ago—we are never without fresh eggs at our house. It is true that double mating has brought the present-day Brown Leg horns into discredit with some of the old-time fanciers and breeders of Brown Leghorns and has caused a great deal of confusion with ama teur breeders, and those who were inclined to hang on to the good old way of mating. I will admit that It is very much more difficult to produce good speci mens of the Brown Leghorns of to day than it was the old-time Brown Leghorn of twenty years ago; but the breeder of today who is able to pjroduce specimens of high quality is fully compensated for his labors, as the demand f«r high-class exhibi tion Brown Leghorns of today is far greater than the supply and those who are very anxious to make a reputation at the big poultry shows will pay high prices for first prize winner Brown Leghorns of today.— J.
