MERITS OF COCHIN VARIETY
Excellent Producers of Eggs in Win-
ter and Young Chickens Are
Fairly Good on the Table.
Cochins have certainly the merit of
laying well In winter, due probably to
their profuse feathering, which pre-
vents undue evaporation of heat.
Young chickens are fairly good on the
table, but when older they cannot be
regarded as even passable in that re-
spect. The flesh ig at all times very
yellow, and more largely developed
on the thighs than the breast. This
is due to the fact that Cochins are not
fiyers; they have only small wings,
whilst very large ones would be need-
The weight which Cochins attain is |
very good indeed. Adult cocks range |
from twelve to fifteen pounds, hens |
eight to eleven pounds, and cockerels |
and pullets two to three pounds less. |
They are very hardy, and can stand |
almost any place and soil, but they
do best on short, level grass, for the
foot feather is broken and spoiled |
when on long grass nr rough ground.
The partridge Cochin possesses a
great variety and brilliancy of color,

The breast, coverts, wing butt, under

and the saddle and hackle golden red

the hens are equally effective, as the
light brewn plumage is distinctly pen
clied with a darker shade.

THE REAL END
for sustaining the milk flow. The
result may be accomplished by com-
pounding a ration of four pounds of
ground corn, three pounds of rolled
barley, seven pounds of alfalfa hay
and 31 pounds of corn silage.
The barrel is the business part of
the cow, hence it should be well
rounded and long. The ribs should
be far apart and well sprung The
should be long and slightly
arched. The long tail is simply an
back
lindication of a long spinal column.
The legs should be curved out, in
order to give ample room for the ud-
der between. This should be square,
well set behind and extending well
forward The teats should neither
be too long or too short, and set
square on the four quarters The
texture of the udder should be like
that of a soft glove, so that when it
is milked out, it would collapse. The
whole form should be wedge-shaped.
