BUFF LEGHORNS

A SPECIALTY OF

FORTY YEARS

 

In the early years (1890-1910) of the Buff Leg­horn variety, inte­rest was so strong in deve­loping a good buff colored Leghorn, ama­zing strides were made in a short time period. Poultry shows cooped large Buff Leghorn classes of some­times 200. Mon­mouth Farm won 5 times in a row (1909-1913) “Best Pen at MSG” on Buff Leg­horns. I got my start in Buff Leg­horns from Marcus Davidson’s stock. I asked Marcus where he got his start from in Buff Leg­horns and he told me Mon­mouth Farm in 1912. That is now 100 years ago.

NATURAL HERITAGE

of TUNISIA

- the representative

pigeon breeds -

 

A few years back, on a French ex­hi­bi­tion, I saw a pos­ter with the above title, sho­wing four ori­ginal Tuni­sian pigeon breeds, which were so very inte­res­ting to me that I lost myself in ex­plo­ring their his­tory and I wil­lingly share the gained infor­mation with you.

A Brief History of the

Swan Goose

under Domestication

in the West  -  Part 3

 

The following article is the last of three parts. The writer res­pec­tfully hopes this review of the docu­men­tary evi­dence per­tai­ning to the two forms of Asiatic Geese – the Chi­nese and the African – will go some way in pre­sen­ting the true facts sur­roun­ding the mys­tery of their entry into Euro­pean and Ame­rican poul­try cul­ture.

BREEDS OF THE

GRASSY DOWNS

 

The South Downs have a long history; there are archaeo­logical remains from Neo­lithic times. Until the middle of the 20th cen­tu­ry, sheep-rearing was the main occu­pation of those living on the Downs. Several poul­try and water­fowl breeds origi­nated here, and even a pi­geon breed.
