s not affect the general shape of the speci-men, I should prefer to have the eye with a less wild,nervous expression. There should be some shading on thebeak to represent a dark horn color. The breast line shouldintersect the front line of thigh one-eighth inch lower thanthe etching shows. The body is too shallow. J. Y. Bicknell, Buffalo, N. Y., judge and breeder: Thefemale has the same fault as the male, but in a greaterdegree. The breast in front of the wing bow is much toofull. The beak is rather too straight. It looks a little as ifthe under mandible were pushing a trifle against the upperone. This fault is slight, however. I like both cuts betterthan any others of this breed that I have seen. D. A.

I believe we then wouldhave a model we all would be glad to breed to or to bejudged by. Ira C. Keller, Prospect, Ohio, breeder of Golden Wyan-dottes: Cut of the female represents a very neat, trimWyandotte, but she does not look quite heavy enough, or 1might say not large enough. Head is too small. Beak t
